vance of his election the rest Of his re-
marks along that line being overwhelmed
with laughter and then with cheers
While these phrases of eulogy were being
uttered Mr.. Bryan remained impassive, oc-
casionally chatting with friend who sat
beside him. He made no open acknowledge
ment OF them. but his speech was practi-
cally that Of man who had already been
nominated for the presidency and who was
making an address Of acceptance. In the
speech as prepared in advance there were
several such phrases as: ION another oc-
casion 1 shall call your attention"
Although Augustus Thomas said that the
Travellers League did not welcome Mr..
was no doubt in the minds of the audience,
after Mr.. Bryan had been speaking for a
few moments, that he at least was not neg
lectful Of the political campaign this year
as well as the one two years hence.
When Bryan Arose to Speak.
When Mr.. Bryan arose to speak, the
cheering began. There was no question
about its being hearty. Mr.. Bryan leaned
on the rail and carried a palm leaf fan in
his right hand. He was dressed in black
frock coat and wore his accustomed white
tie. He fixed his eyes on space somewhere
near the center Of the garden and waited.
His face grew very grave. He finally
cast his eyes down. His mouth twitched
slightly. There was a suggestion Of tears
in his eyes and he closed them. Then he
looked about again and famed himself
gently. Again his emotions seemed to get
the better Of him and he shut his eyes.
The cheers had been going on for two
minutes when they showed signs of falling
off. The band struck up 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner" and the cheering was redoubled
all through It: Mr. Bryan was gradually
pulling himself together and when the band
again brike in with Should Aud Acquaint
ance Be Forgot" and the audience took up
the refrain. his eyes lightened and a really
pleasant look stole over his face, to be fol-
lowed by one of great soberness when the
tune was finished. He had been swaying
slightly while the music was being sung
and again he closed his eyes. Dixie" fol-
lowed and the yells were deafening.
This caused him to open hts eyes again

Mr. Emery explained that If any one
should attempt to bring the congressional

confusing and would assist the gang
headed by Senator Penrose, to elect their
ticket. The only way in which the con-
gressional elections could be affected. he
said. would be at the polls and by the
people. But neither the democratic nor In
coin republican parties could NEEDLE with
out upsetting all the arrangements that
have been made He believed the demo-
Gratis of the state fully indorse that plan as
1t is now being carried out.
Reports Untrue.
Mr.. Emery also declared that the reports
that have come from the Penrose people
to the effect that President Roosevelt would
like to have elected the state ticket of the
regular republican organization. otherwise
known as the machine" Is without war
rant
Il am as we'll satisfied as 1 am that sit
here said Mr. Emery that President
Roosevelt is not against me and that he
would not do anything to injure me in
this campaign. l have rendered a great
deal of assistance In the investigation of
some of the great corporations and he knows
it. He looks for success in the congress
sionai elections. but he will not take any
part in this campaign for state control.
and l am sure that no member Of his ad-
ministration will come into this state to at
tempt to affect the result. His speech at
the dedication of the state capitol will have
no relation to our state political matters"
But would YOU not like to have his as
sistance in overthrOwing Penrose? Mr..
Emery was asked.
THE President has kept out of state at
fairs very consistently and have no doubt
he will do the same in relation to US It

thusasm some Of them have for the cleo
ton Of the mixed ticket.
No Fear Of Fraud.
Mr. Emery is confident that he will get
almost the entire democratic vote Of this
state. and he has no fear that any method
will be used either in the voting or in the
count to deprive him Of fair election The
new registration law of the state makes it
impossible to vote the names on the tomb
stones as was so long done in Philadelphia.
Some one may, from failure to register lose
his chance to vote, but every vote cast will
represent man entitled to exercise that
privilege The fusion candidates will have
strong support in all sections of the state
and in Philadelphia, the home of the
gang" they can be depended upon to see
that Emery gets fair show
In a few days Mr.. Emery will go on the
stump regularly until the election takes
place. There are enormous demands upon
his time, and he Is likely to make several
speeches day almost constantly. In Pitts
burg and Philadelphia he is assured of I'M
usually favorable consideration, as most Of
the newspapers in both of those cities are
supporting him heartily and are doing all
of the gang" Throughout the country
districts the small newspapers, as a rule,
are supporting the regular state organiza-
ton and are likely to work for the interest
OF Penrose and. his ticket from now on
But 1t Is with the farmer vote that Emery
Is said to be strongest and during the COM
ing two months he will reach as many of
the voters at public meetings as possible.

CHEERED TO THE ECHO
BRYAN MOVED BY WELCOME IN
NEW YORK LAST NIGHT.

The 10000 and more persons who filled
Madison Square Garden. New York. last
night saw a new William Jennings Bryan.
His smile was gone. Instead when the two
,noisiest demonstrations Of the night oc-
CURED, the one at his entrance and the
other when he stood up to speak, his face
became grave the lines about his mouth
frightened his eyes closed at times to hide
a suggestion of moisture in them, he bowed
his head and plainly was under a stress of
emotion. which he found 1t hard to over
come. Having become master Of himself.
while the cheering was going on, he gradu-
ally waved the people into their seats and
then began to speak.
Probably recalling the scene in the gar
den ten years ago-ten years and eighteen
days ago, to be exact-when a great frost
on sweltering night descended on the
garden and cooled off the rest of New York,
Mr.. Bryan did not read his speech. He had
learned most OF what he had written and
followed the text quite closely. His voice
was clear and fresh and carried well into
the furthest corner Of the garden.
All through his speech and those of the
speakers who preceded him there was a
subdued roar in the place. like that of
been speaking for half an hour there was a
constant stream Of people going out.
Bryan Characterization.
The occasion was the Commercial
Jewellers Antitrust Leagues reception.
No attempt had been made to decorate the
garden and the setting was bare for the
speech Of the man proclaimed by all the
other speakers as the nations foremost
private citizen" The characterizations of
Mr.. Bryan. as the speakers endeavored to
find some new appeliati0n. interested the
audience much. Gov. Folk of Missouri
called him ''the great torchbearer of right
eousness." Augustus Thomas referred to
him as another Lycurgus and as Roman

| Is In fact none Of his business. He was
charged very generally in the newspapers
with having interfered in New York by
securing the election Of Wadsworth. a son
of Representative Wadsworth, as speaker OF
the New York house Of delegates. but he
told me at the time those charges were
that end beyond exercising his personal
right as citizen Of New York to state
his own preference. He told me in very
plain language that he had done nothing
fluence the republican organization in New
York to have Wadsworth elected. But 1t
Is absolutely untrue for any one to say
that Mr.. Roosevelt Is with the Penrose
machine in this fight"
Emery Not Pleased.
Mr.. Emery was not very well pleased
with the demonstration that was made at
the Nixon theater on the occasion OF his
official notification of his nomination by the
Lincoln republican and the democratic par
ties for the governorship Tuesday after
noon. The facts about the small audience
that greeted him are now being learned for
the first time. The owner of the theater
had declined to permit the doors to be
thrown open to the public on the ground
| that promiscuous political gathering would
leave the theater in such condition that
they could not get it ready for the regular
evening performance. He claimed that the
cleaning-up process would take too long.
In order to meet that objection tickets
of admission were printed and distributed
to leaders in this city who were supposed
to be In thorough sympathy with the fusion
movement, and who were expected to get
the tickets into the hands Of as many
people as possible. 1t has now been learned
that one man who got possession Of COO
tickets kept them. Others carried twenty
five and fifty tickets about in their pockets.
The result was that instead Of having an
audience Of 1.5O0 people to greet the fusion
candidates there were present only three
or four hundred. The small crowd was
hailed frost for Emery by some Of the
Penrose people here.
A good many Of Mr.. Emery's friends are
wondering whether the failure to distribute
the tickets has any explanation beyond a
bad memory. Fusion between the demo-
Gratis and the Lincoln republicans has
brought together many elements that are
not accustomed to working together. and 1t
is not possible to tell just how much en-

and he began to wave his right hand to the
people to be seated. He waved to the
right and left. He held up his hand for
silence and gradually he had one part of
the audience slipping into their seats with
the aid of a storm Of Misses Just as he
was getting the audience under control the
cheering broke out again, but he went right
back at his work and soon the people sub
sided. Then the former boy orator began
to speak, not to read.

Mr.. Bryan spoke for about an hour and
ten minutes. under probably as trying con-
ditions as any speaker has experienced in
Madison Square Garden in a good many
years. The tumult which attended the OPEN
