Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1900-10-25
ERYAN GETS WARM WELCOME
IN NEW YORK.
CHEERS FOR BRYAN.
Ereae Reception Is rendered the
Democratic Leader In New
York City.

LA G2z2n SQuare garden tonight was ali
1h4a his reception at this place four
gears ago was not. Then the applause
MAS meager and fainter than the sig
xzEs 81 disapproval; tonight the enor-
MgEs audience applauded the every ut
A@rznce of the speaker. Four years ago
Bryan read his address; tonight he
talked in an offhand, heart-to-heart
way Four years ago large part of
me aH51ence left the hall before Bryan
had finished; tonight the people yelled
z5r more when the speaker showed
zEgns Of quitting, and refused to listen
~ the preIiminaries in their desire to
RzTc him begin. The brilliant calcium
Hghi Sf the public favor in which Bry-
91 stood tonight was reflected on Rich
z-a Croker, representing Tammany
which four years ago was the Nebras-
RzE1s enemy.
STANDS LIKE A GREAT ROCK.
Ene principal point of resemblance
Ws that tonight, as at his previous ap-
Vz4rznee, Bryan swerved not a hairs
nrgn6th from the line of argument
mapped out by him in his Nebraska
A41e, without consultation with East
sEn Beaders, and threw no sop to sec
dSnz7 favor.
FGGzkOWED BY SHOUTING MULTI

&zy a8e Of the three meetings were but
a EMRH fraction of those who surged
@hTuzgh the streets around the place of

czzzzlsge was followed by shouting
zzEzEEAzse anxious to catch a glimpse

Waazs Colonel Bryan reached New

zeaeAzL his hotel storm of consider
ssaza force broke. A driving rain del
usez1 the streets for a quarter Of an
aBzz- 7he wind meanwhile blowing at
RSE7a velocity. Later the rain settled
Rzks a steady drizzle, which lasted an
aszs1r and which was followed by a raw,
szzEa wind from the west. The promoters

xzse for the other guests. The formal
tszss rule was not adhered to.
