New York state campaign in Norwich.
last night. speaking to a large audience.
He travelled 159 miles and made fourteen
speeches., yet he finished his days work
in good shape. his voice at the night meet
ings being clear. The entire trip was an
ovation, the crowds, in comparison to
the population Of the places, being large.
The three largest stopped at we're Siam
ford. where he spoke in hall; Onetia.
where he addressed a large outdoor meet
ing and at Bloomville, where he said:
Il want to call your attention to a
little incident that occurred last night in
New York. I think you can sometimes
know a man by the company he Keeps.
You can sometimes tell something about
a candidate by the people who are his
most active supporters There was a
Bryan meeting last night in New York,
in Cooker Union, think. ~At that meet
ing the morning papers report that the
two people who were most enthusiastic
ally cheered were Aguinaldo, of the
Philippines, and Altgeld. Of Illinois. I
think it entirely proper to cheer one,
If you cheer the other. 1t was entirely
appropriate to cheer the man who par
doned the anarchists in this country and
the man who has been striking at our
soldiers on the other side of the earth.
Now think of party that relies on that
kind Of support, symbolized by the men
who cheered Alleged and Aguinaldo as
great apostle Of freedom, and few
months ago a certain Bryanite alluded
to him second George Washington.
You may not be familiar with Aguina dos

The committee at Stamford had secured
the. new opera house for the addresses
and the party was driven there in car
r1ages. An audience that tested the ca
paeity Of the house greeted Governor
Roosevelt as he walked upon the stage.
He said in part:
Now Mr.. Bryan yesterday was speak
now the paramount issue. That para
mount issue has changed so often that
it has been a little difficult to keep up
with it. Yesterday in his speech he pro-
posed two remedies for the trusts. The
