Mr.. r. W. Haynes, senator elect

1t was stated by one of the MEM
bers of the committee that in his
cunty the same thing had happened
and the committee had thrown out
all of the votes for the officers af-
fected and had ordered new pri-
mary, not a second primary, but a
new one. Gen. Jones declared that
this was the proper thing to do.
1t was brought out that in the re-
cent primary some tickets for county
officers had been deposited in the
box to receive tickets for State Of
ticers, and vice versa. In some coun-
ties such ballots were thrown out. In
other counties they were counted. Mr..
stevenson and Mr.. Ketchin thought
the rules clear enough. The use of
two boxes is to prevent "plumping"
and all votes deposited in the
wrong boxes were so placed at their
own risk. The county committees
were advised by the State commit
tee to throw out all ballots in the
second primary which had been
placed improperly.
The committee then adjourned. A
subcommittee will meet here on the
18th Of September to canvass the.
vote in the second primary. .as,.z.

Washington, Sept. William iJen-

ownership of railroads has brought
forth bitter criticism from two prom
lent Southern Congressmen, Senator
Bailey Of Texas and Representative
Livingston of Georgia.
With much feeling, Senator Bailey
declared last night that the Demo-

Tremendous Ovation Given the Ne
braskan In New York.

New York, Aug. 30.-Wuiam Jen-
nings Bryan, of Nebraska, who ar
rived in New York Habor yesterday
afternoon and spent the night with
frineds on a steam yacht down the
bay, landed IN New York city this
afternoon at O'Clock and was the
recipient of continuing ovation from
that hour until tonight, when he had
finished a notable eighty minute ad-
dress before 5000 persons gathered
in Madison Square Garden. Mr.. Bry-
an outlined clearly and vigorously
the principles he thought should
guide the Democrats in their next
campaign.
Greeted by nearly every prominent
Democrat in the country, and accom-
panel py them ..r Biyan was
driven from the yacht landing at the
Battery TO the Victoria Hotel. He
was constantly cheered by those on
the crowded sidewalks. Once at the
hotel ne was fairly mobed by thous-
ands of his admirers, was called upon
fer an impromptu speech and then
shoks hands for more than an hour
with an apparently neverending line
of citizens. He dined with his fam
iiy and friends and then was driven
in an automobile to Madison Square
Garden, where his welcome home was
made complete in a series of some OF
the most remarkable demonstrations
New York has ever known. The
Garden melting was presided over by
Mayor Tom L johnson, Of Cleveland
There were brief addresses by Gov
ernor Jos. w. Folk, Of Missouri;
Augustus Thomas, the playwright;
Harry w. Walker, Of the Commercial
Travellers. Antitrust League, under
whose auspices the reception was
given and Mr.. Johnson.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was a clear-cut
outline of his ideas as to what the
Democratic policy should be. The
election Of United States Senator'S by
the people; regulation of trusts by
the Government, universal eight
hour day; a settlement Of all inter-
national disputes by arbitration rath.
er than resort to force, and revision
of the tariff-were some, Of his points.
Mr.. Bryan declared, however, that
he was merely expressing his own
opinion and not attempting to fore
cast the policy Of his party.
Mr.. Bryan declared that the trusts
were the great issue Of the day. He
called for the enforcement Of the
criminal clause Of the Sherman anti
trust law and the placing Of trust
controlled articles on the free list.

no danger in Capitalization, however,
and for this reason advocated the

and the State ownership of the local
lines.
The speaker gave the President
some praise for what he termed his
adoption Of Democratic ideas.
Mr.. Bryan also addressed an over
flow meeting outside the Garden. He
was driven to his hotel, where he was
personally greeted by VIM. Randolph

as he sat in a box at the Garden
meeting.

oft repeated declaration that he was
ready and anxious to treat with his own

constituted of his present or former EN-.
ployes, the committee was composed OF
Two of the oldest captains OF the feet

swer, which will he forwarded to the

tain Thomson will say: al will meet

request you made as to wages at any time

that meet you as present or former en-

a pessimistic view of the situation, stat
ing that they did not believe that the
