miles east of this place. He made a five
minute speech there a few minutes be

Mr.. Bryan entered his coach at Jerse
City about midnight Arduous as ha

received a request before leaving New
York TO make a stop at Port Jarvis an
had reluctantly consented TO do so. WheI
the train arrived there a vast crowd va
in waiting. Mr.. Bryan dressed himseI
and going to the rear platform attempt
ed TO speak. The people were, however
so full Of enthusiasm that it was Difficult
for him to find opportunity 10 proceed
Mr.. Bryan's only attempt to say that h
found them so enthusiastic that he dix
not feel it was necessary to make then
a speech, even if he could do US undei
more propitious surroundings. Hs asked
them to stand by this conviction and moi
to allow themselves to be swerved.
Soon after daylight Mr.. Bryan's trair
passed through Elmira, where Governor
Roosevelt's train was tied up prepara-
tory to beginning his days work Mr..
Bryan was sound asleep at the time and
there was no exchange Of courtesies be-
tween the two candidates.
The rain, which had begun falling at
Addison, had diminished somewhat by
the time Mr.. Bryan's train reached
Hornellsville. He spoke here for about
half an hour, and had another large
! crowd, which was closely attentive.
/ At this point he elaborated on the
4 theory advanced by him yesterday to the
effect that the Republicans had aban-
/ doned their principal campaign argument.
which was the full dinner pail. Starting
with the proposition that the Republi-
can platform was largely devoted to the
subject Of prosperity he said:
Compare the space devoted to con-
graduation with the space devoted to all
other questions and you VIII find that
the Republicans expected to make the is
sue on the grand property argument.
The full dinner pail is fun Of holes the
full dinner pail is the most completely
battered and beaten-up emblem shat any
party ever had. Why is it that the din
her pail Is referred to more by Demo-
cratic speakers than it is by Republican
speakers? If a Republican attempts to
refer to the dinner pail now, they ask
him How about the anthracite coal re-
gions. I do not believe that the labor
ing man today is receiving his fair share
Of the wealth he produces or his fair
share Of the protection of government"
Mr.. Bryan then took up the subject Of
trusts and said that combinations of that
kind increase the price of the necessities
of life faster than they do the wages of
their employees and that If there was
complaint on that score or any other the
only response was a large army. He
went on to say that if the New York Of
fcials were disposed to do so they could
get rid Of the ice trust ust as the Demo
Gratis and PopUlist officials had got rid
of an ice trust in Nebraska
wen have a president from Nebras-
ka,'' some one shouted, in response to
what Mr. Bryan had said. To this Mr.
Bryan responded: 'If you do have a
president from Nebraska you will have
the same kind of trust policy in the
United States at large that we have in
Nebraska. We prosecute them out
there"
Arguing that we do not need a big
army for domestic purposes, Mr. Bryan
said: All the nations on earth combin-
ed could not whip this nation In a de-
fensive warfare and we should have no
desire to fight wars OF conquest to go out
and take other peoples land, thus violat-
ing the commandment Thou shalt not
steal
At Alfred a colored man adEsnced with
a picture Of President Mckinley on his
breast. and said: you can talk about
free silver without any paper" To this
Mr. Bryan responded: Eyes, sir, If I had
no regard for human rights would talk
about dollars, but I am talking to your
heads and not to your pocketbooks
To the audience Mr.. Bryan said: Tor
the benefit of that poor, sordid soul that
wants to talk about money. want to
ask him why It is that ne is so worried
about 51-cent dollars ard not worried
about an S. Per cent citizen fin Porto /

was not dismayed for he broke into Mr. (
