WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

William Jennings Bryan spoke
to an immense crowd in Madison
Square Garden in New FORK Thurs
day night. 1t was the greatest
political demonstration ever wit
messed in the above city. The
salient points of Mr.. Bryan's
speech is outlined in the following
dispatch:
New York, Aug. Tonight S
reception to William J. Bryan, which
was given under the auspices of the
Commercial Travellers Antitrust
League. proved really to be the sound
ing of the Democratic campaign call
Mr.. Bryan's speech was clear-cut
outline of his ideas as to what the
Democratic policy should be. The
election of United States Senators by
The people: regulation of trusts by
the Government; a universal eight
hour day; settlement of all interna-
tional disputes by arbitration rather
than by force, and revision of the tar
ifs were some Of his points. Mr.
Bryan declared however, that he was
merely expressing his own opinion,
not attempting to forecast the policy
of his party.
"Mr. Bryan declared that the trusts
were the great issue of the day. He
favored the closest supervision OF the
organization OF corporations, and
declared that no man should be dl-
rector of two or more corporations
which deal with each other Op engage
in the same line of business. He call
ed for the enforcement of the criminal
clause of the Sherman Antitrust Law.
He went into the question of Govern
ment ownership of railroads, and de-
clared that what he had seen in other
countries had served to strengthen his
conviction on the subject He saw
danger in Capitalization. however, an
for this reason advocated Federal
ownership of trunk lines and State
ownership of local lines.
1.-THE speaker scored the Republican
Congress for not passing the legisla-
ton urged by President Roosevelt
buttons, but gave the Democrats
praise for what he termed his adoption
of Democratic ideas. Mr.. Bryan said
some day imposed through an amend
menu 10 Lne COnStlLuJlOn. he REFER
red briefly to the recent insurance in
vestigation, and said, smilingly, he
believed the disclosures made would
result in difficulty in securing large
campaign contributions in future.
''Of the financial question, Mr.. Bry-
an said the unexpected and unpre-
cedented discovery of gold had
brought victory to both the advo-
Gates of the gold standard and the adj
vocates of bimetallism.
1.-The Republicans have gained so
much pleasure and some partisan ad-
vantage" he said, ''from the dissen-
sion in our ranks on the money ques-
ton that they ought not to begrudge
us the pleasure we find in the fact that
have removed the discord
and dissensiOn.'

not be called in as the law is not
retroactive. Also that all mile
age and annual or term passes
expiring January 1st, 1907, are
good until midnight of December
31st, 1906. 1t is probable that the
newspaper phase of the question
will be threshed out before the In
terstate Commerce Committee it
being contended that the railroads
have the right to exchange trans
portation for its equivalent value
in advertising. In other words it
is an exchange of stock in trade.
If this contention holds good the
newspapers will find some relief,
but the promiscuous giving of
passes in excess of contracts will
be cut off.

business men Of New York in
finding out the lack of ordinary
