NEW HAVEN, Oct 27.-Notwithstand-
ing the untoward weather conditions,
there being a driving rain, Mr. Bryan's
reception here was rousing affair and
the Democrats refused to permit their en-
thusiasm to be dampened. On account of
the storm and because Mr.. Bryan was
somewhat hoarse. having oyertaxed his
voice during the past few days, it was de-
termined to have the meeting in the Sec
ond Regiment Armory instead of on the
green, as originally announced
The pouring raIL compelled the aban-
donment of the outdoor programme. It
had been arranged to have Mr.. Bryan es-
corted from the Union Depot 20 the ar
mory by marching clubs and bands and to
give him a lively welcome en- route
The candidate was, however, met at the
depot by a closed carriage when his spe-
ciai train arrived at 10:55 o'clock, members
OF the New Haven Democratic Town Com
mittee, headed by Edward S. Maher, TAX
ing charge of the preparations and of Mr..
Bryan's New Haven escort, as Chairman
Charles F. Thayer, of the Democratic State
Central Committee and Homer S. Cum
mings. National Democratic Committee
man for Connecticut, were on the special
train with MIR. Bryan
The Second Regiment armory began to
fill up at 10 o'clock when a concert by
the Second Regiment Band commenced.
By the time Mr.. Bryan reached the ar
mory there were 5000 people assembled
On the floor of the drillshed and the gal
leries at both ends of the building were
crowded with spectators.
Mr.. Bryan was rendered warm recep-
tion and it was several minutes before the
applause subsidized.
In addressing the New Haven audience,
he said:
THE Republicans have made a failure
of the campaign which is now drawing TO
q close; they started out to make the is
sue of the campaign the full dinner pail,
but today you hear little of the fun din
ner pail unless you go to Democratic
meetings The Republicans have shifted
their ground. I need not tell you that they
don't carry the full dinner pail down into
the anthracite regions. I deny that the
condition of the laboTing man is satisfac-
tory. and the Republicans have given up
hope Of carrying the cities. The people
are becoming aware that the Republican
party is not responsible for what there is
il the dinner pail
When a Republican employer threat
ems to turn you out CT work because you
want to vote the Democratic ticket, tell
him that if this country is half as prosper
Gus as he says it is, you would not have
any trouble in getting half dozen Jobs.
The laboring today wants mere
than arbitration: he wants a representa-
tive in the Presidents Cabinet, so that the
voice of labor may be heard all the time in
the White House. The slave had full
dinner pail, but he was not satisfied with
1t. He wanted his liberty. To be satisfied
with the full dinner pail, man must sink
lower than slave
Then Mr. Bryan read from the newspa-
per accounts of the dinner to Roosevelt
last night Senator Scott's speech saying
that the trusts had come to stay. Continu-
ing on the subject of trusts Mr.. Bryan
said:
Z don't know of any man whose reputa-
tion for veracity has been SO completely
discounted by his own party as Mark Han
na. He says that there are 20 trusts. and
yet every Republican knows that there is
an Ice Trust. The only difference be
tween the highwaynan who stops you on
the road and takes your purse and the
trust magnate, is that the highwayman
takes some risk and gets a little The
trust magnate takes no risk and gets a
good deal. The monopolies have already
begun to raise the price OF their articles
and the time is coming when the toiling
masses will on their knees, beg of the
trust maguates, give Us this day our dai-
ly bread.
The Republican party today stands fer
a large standing army, yet no Republican
supports the message of the President
asking for an army of 100000.
You find now in the Republican ncws-
papers, letters purporting to come from
American soldiers in the Philippines say
ing that the insurrection viii stop the day
Mckinley is elected, yet 1 read that the
Administration is preparing to send three
more regiments to the Philippines the Gay
of the election. This must mean that the
Republicans don't expect me to be de-
feated- If large army is going, let the
Republicans defend it. If it's bad, let
one. How can you justify a policy that
demands three times as many soldiers
outside of this country as there are in it?
The Republicans want the drum beat
heard around the world We want the
light of liberty seen around the globe.''
Mr.. Bryan's speech was warmly ap-
plauded throughout.
AS Mr.. Bryan was about to close his ad-
dress, some one in the audience shouted:
What about free silver?''
The money question: replied Mr. Bry-
IN. ''ean be settled at any time, the i'm
perialist question must be settled now.
Our position on these questions is known
but you can't find out the position of The
Republican. If my friends can read, thev
can learn how we stand on this question :,
Mr.. Bryan's party left for New York at
12:45 in his special train.
