1 Heard the Nebraska Orator Speak
 at the Four Meetings-Webster Da- wis and Stevenson Speak.
 l New York, Oct. 17-In enthusiasm and
 magnitude the reception rendered last | night to William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate for president, and | Adlai k. Stevenson, the Democratic can | didate for vice president, by Tammany | Hall and the other Democratic organiza-
 tions of Greater New York easily sur | passed any political demonstration that
 ever occurred in the Empire State. In | magnitude, at least, it surpassed any
 similar event in this country.
 The total number of those who heard | MT. Bryan was about 45,5O0. Richard | Croker called the Madison Square Gar | den meeting to order. Mayor Van Wyck
 was the honorary president. Edward M | Shepard, who was a gold man in 1896, | presided. At the other meetings Tam | many men who gave the ticket only a | half hearted support four years ago were | prominent as masters of ceremonies. Mir. Bryan began his speech at Madi- | son Square Garden by referring to the vast audience before him and said that | 1t indicated an interest in the campaign | which must be gratifying to all who | realized the importance of the questions lnNOlNeu. He uecldFeu ludl ue was not
 vain enough to accept the enthusiasm
 manifested as a personal tribute to him.
 self because, he said, 'the individual counts for nothing except that he may
 be the instrument used by the people to | carry out their own will" He imme- | diately entered upon a defense of the | Democratic cause and said: 'To say that the people gathered here who SUD- i port our cause are the enemies of hon. est wealth is islander which could not
 be uttered without the one who uttered | it knew 1t to be false. We are not op- posed to that wealth which comes as the | reward of honest toll and is enjoyed by | those who give to society something in
 return for that which society throws up-
 on them. The Democratic party today | Is not only not the enemy of honest | wealth, but the Democratic party of to- | day is the best friend of that wealth that | represents ability of muscle or of mind | employed in its accumulation, but l deny that the wealth producers of the country
 are enjoying their share of the govern
 ment's productions" At this point there I were cries of ''Hannap' Hanna" MT. | Bryan merely responded by asking his | audience not to trife with a great name. | Taking up the subject of trusts, MT. | Bryan declared that they had grown un- l der this administration more rapidly than | ever before, and he asserted that the Re | publicans refused to meet the issues they
 created. He declared that the president i "spends more time warming you not to
 hurt your good trusts than he does telling | you how to hunt the bad ones" In the | same connection he referred to the posi- I tion of Governor Roosevelt and Senator | Hanna on the subject of trusts. and the I reference in both instances met with | | there are no trusts" Mr. Bryan went on. | Are you going to send a man out to | hunt the trusts who knows where every trust treasure is, but says there are no trusts?" In response to this last inter- | rogation a voice from the audience re- I sponded, "We will send you"
 Bryan's Remedy For Trusts. Mir. Bryan again quoted from Presi- dent Mckinley's inaugural address on : the subject of trusts and charged that | the president had neither enforced the | existing antitrust laws nor recommended i new ones. His attorney general, he said, | draws his salary and permits the trusts | to go and orpress the people. Mir. Bryan | referred to the ice trust, declaring that ] apparently this was the only trust of ] which the Republicans had any knowl- ! edge. If any Republican tells you," he
 said, that the ice trust is huI.ing the i people, you tell him that you have so | much confidence in the Republican gov ernor th;st you know he would not be out | west making speeches if the people were
 suffering from the ice trust" This re | mark was received with cheers.
 | MT. Bryan outlined his remedy for
 trusts, which was to put on the free list | every trust made article and to require | trust corporations to take out license | Al II
 states than those in which they were or
 ganized. He expressed conviction that | we were approaching d period of indus trial despotism, where a few men will | control each great branch of industry, | when every person who buys finished | products will buy at a trust price, where | every person who furnishes raw material | will furnish it at trust price and where | every man who works for wages will
 work for wages fixed by the trust" Such
 a condition as this meant, he said, serf- | dom for the people, for a government of
 the people, by the people and for the | people was impossible under the reign of | the trust.
 Mir Bryan referred to the charge that
 he was responsible for the continuation 1 of the war in the Philippine Islands and
 said: If am guilty of this charge, then | who is responsible for the fact that our | forefathers fought the same battle 100
 years before I was born? They should | know" he continued, that it was the
 Almighty, who wher he gave life to the
 Filipino gave him the love of liberty. | They should know that it was God who
 linked together in every human breast 1 life and liberty, and what God has joined
 together let not the Republican party
 rend asunder."
 MT. Bryan accused the Republican par | ty with. a desire to evade the Philippine question and said that that party was so
 sordid that it desired to put the dollar
 above the man and make money more 1 precious than human life. He declared
 that we could not buy the right to gov
 ern people. If we had any title to the | Filipinos. it was a title based on force,
 and such a title was not good according to American ideas.
 The other principal speakers at the
 meetings were Adlai E. Stevenson, the
 candidate for vice president; John B. | Stanchfield, the candidate for governor; 1 William F. Mackey, the candidate for lieutenant governor, and Webster Davis | of Missouri, who was assistant secretary
 of the interior under Mckinley and made
 public his renunciation of the Republican party at the Kansas City convention. |
