Sticks 20 the Ideas OF 1890 and 1000.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. s.-When Will
liam J. Bryan reached this ,ity tonight at
o o'clock he was Just an c late. having
been delayed by the railroad accident in
New York. Alexander Troup. former Ma
tional Committeeman from Connecticut,
took Col. Bryan In a carriage from the sta
tion to the banquet room OF the Tontine
Hotel where the Democratic leader got a
greeting from 200 Democrats from this
city and other parts Of Connecticut. There
were fireworks and music when Bryan en-
tered the hotel and shouts from a small
sized crowd.
After the dinner, which was under the
auspices OF the New Haven Democratic
Club at e a plate, the ticket 20 include
admission to the music hall where Col.
Bryan delivered an address, Col. Bryan
talked about ten minutes, the burden of
which was to keep up the political fight
that began under his leadership in the
national campaign in 1896.
He said the great newspapers Of the day
In discussing the Democratic party gave
the impression hat there are few Demo
Gratis left in this country and that what
remain hardly deserve the name of Demo
crst'. He said that he hadn't been able
70 find out very much in the papers about
what the people are doing and the only way
h. could ascertain what is going on among
the people was to make such a trip as the
present one. One incident, he said. that
pleased him was TO find the Democrats
of Worcester. Ohio, where he stopped over
10 make a speech at a jackson Day banquet
two or three days before the anniversary
OF jackson Day. had been celebrating Jack
son Day for forty-seven years without a
break. At this point in his informal talk
Mr.. Bryan got dow to national politics
and what the Democrats should do in the
next Presidential campaign.
"Depocrats should initiate jackson IN
his devotion to principle. " he said. There
was another characteristic about jackson
that Democrats should admire, and that
Il his willingness to stand for what he
thought was right, no matter what others
thought. II Jackson thought the question
was a right one, there he stood, II he had
TO stand alone
and that's what you'vs DONE broke
in an enthusiastic Bryanite.
All these remarks were Interpreted by
the Democratic leaders present 10 mean
that BRYAN was where he stood in 1895 and
1900. and he expected the Connecticut
Democrats TO do likewise, and the speaker
was vigorously applauded When he told
them that steadfastness TO principle was

plauded. He said the party that stands
Tor principle is sure to live, because II de-
serves 20 live.
jackson to Bryan's mind was not as
great a statesman as Jefferson. Jefferson
In his opinion was the greatest statesman
that was ever known. The speaker de
clared that he had hope in the triumph
OF our cause" as he expressed it. He got
In a rap at the Gold Democrats by saying:
W don't want the applause Of those
who are helping to eleci the Republican
party"
He spoke Of the Republican party as
sthe trust ridden, a Wall-Street-control
party"
With a light snow falling about 200 men
and boys gathered to escort Bryan from
the hotel to Music Hall. There he spoke
on "A Conquering Nation for nearly two
hours, during which he reiterated his well
known views on -anti-imperialism' the
Bocr war. the trusts, the financial policy
OF the Government and the danger OF a
standing army. About 800 persons paid
rs and SO cents TO hear him. He will 90 TO
Boston tomorrow to speak.
