 HEAR BRYAN.

Enthusiasm as Was ALSO hi' SA"
 and All the Tammany Leaders-Calis for Hanna During the Silver Leaders Speech.
 New York Oct. 16.-For hours before the time set for the opening or the doors, 5:3O o'clock, Madison Square Gar den, where Colonel Bryan and the mead of the state ticket, John B. Stanchllelu, spoke, was besieged by thronss' Throngs gathered before the two great entrances as early as o'clock Tn the hope of gaining an early admittance. At 4 o'clock at least LOGO people were Tn the amphitheater having gained admls- sion on tickets which were given pre- cedence even over box seat tickets.
 At 5:3O o'clock to the minute the sound of exploding bombs outside the Garden announced the opening Of the doors. Instantly there was a great rush by the people from the Madison avenue hallway and from the 18th street en- trance which according to police ai- engagements were to be kept clear TOT ticket holders. In the first rush were a few women who got seats near |he speakers stand. In less than ten mln- utes every seat on the floor was taken and the crowd attacked the galleries. Five minutes later saw the balcony and a part of the galleries black with people The rush was then over, but there was a steady stream through the principal doors and all empty seats were soon filled.
 The crowd did not appear at first to be demonstrative. When the lights were all turned on, there came brief cheer The mi-circular electrical dis play over the speakers stand bore the portrait of the two democratic candi- dates, the democratic emblem and the democratic watchword credited to MT. Croker we want to remain free peo- pie" in great letters of light. Then the band struck up a national air and as the people recognized Yankee Doodle" they got up in their seats, with uncov- cred heads and waved thousands of small American flags, shouting the words of the song.
 The Garden was decorated in the na- tional colors. Streamers radiated from the center of the room to the iron pill lars over the galleries, festoons of flags with the colors of the different states, lined the galleries. The speakers stand was draped simply with American flags and red white and blue bunting.
 At 630 o'clock the only seats remain ing in the Garden was an occasional box the ticket for which remained good until o'clock The crowd was orderly, and frequent performances by the band brought out enthusiasm
 The arrival of Tammany men brought out the first strong applause of the ev- ening. District Attorney Asa Bird Gardner was among the first to arrive, and was greeted with cheers. As ' o'clock approached, the hour when MT. Bryan was expected to arrive, the crowd began to warm up.
 MT. Bryan entered the Garden at 7:15 o'clock. Colonel Bryan, escorted by MT. Croker, entered the hall and when they mounted the stand they were enthusias- tically cheered As they made their way to the front they were again cheer ed. They bowed frequently to the vast audience. Just behind these two May or Van Wyck escorted Edward M. Shep- ard, who acted as chairman of the meeting. The cheering continued with increased vigor Then MT. Croker rose hesitated a moment and raised his hand for silence, yet cheers broke forth loud- CT than ever After nearly fifteen min utes the applause began to die out. Mingled cheers and misses, the latter for silence, lasted a minute longer.
 ''Three cheers for our next president" brought out the final cheer, but an eff fort to repeat it was drowned in cries of Put him out"
 The enthusiasm nearly carried the crowd away. The throng at the Madi- son avenue end of the Garden jammed down the aises and the sixty odd po- 1icemen at that point had to do battle with the crowd to keep it under control When quiet was restored MT. Croker arose, took MT. Shepard by the hand and introduced him as chairman of the meeting.
 MT. Shepard said: "The welcome which Greater New York extends this evening to the eloquent defender of lb- erty is quite different from that which first met him in this hall in the cam paign of 1896. The warmth and splen- dor of the present reception speak the gratitude of gold democrats and silver democrats alike that he and the demo- cratic party stand in 1900 for the one cause, all dominant in American poli- ties"
 Resolutions were then adopted. These welcomed MT. Bryan and MT. Steven- son to New York; approved the Kansas City platform opposed imperialism; protested against an enormous standing army as menace to the republic; praised the volunteer army as being sufficient in emergency; opposed en- tangling foreign alliance; sympathized with the Boers; denounced trusts; nIedged the party to bring back to the neopIe constitutional government, and charged the republicans with having raised a gigantic corruption fund to de- bauch the suffrage.
 The resolutions were cheered and could not be heard because of the shouts for Bryan MT. Shepard at once intro duced MT. Bryan in a few short sen- tences. SMr. Bryan stepped to the rall- ing and raised his hand for silence, but the cheers did not subside.
 'Three cheers for our next president, came up from the audience, MT. Bryan raising his hand in depreciation. The crowd was about to become quiet when
