tons. lie gave the president some
praise. however, for what he termed
his adoption of Democratic ideas. Mr..
Bryan said he hoped the income tax
might some day be imposed through
an amendment to the constitution. He
referred briefly to the recent insurance
investigation and said smilingly that
he believed the disclosures made would
result in difficulty in securing large
campaign contributions in the future.
Probably no other American ever
was honOred by such an ovation as the
people of New York, REINFORCED by
thousands from almost every state in
the Union, gave Mr.. Bryan on his re
turn home from his famous trip
around the world. Great as was the
Bryan meeting in Madison Square
Garden six years ago, it was not to be
compared with the present outpourng.
Six hundred policemen had all they
could do to keep the multitude in or
der, and there were many near riots
among the shouting, jostling thousands
who clamored for admission to the
huge hall.
AS was expected, the big garden
wasn't half big enough to hold the
mass of people, and those who could
not get in overlooked into the square
in front, where an open air meeting
was conducted. Here Mr.. Bryan re
peated his speech, and here the won
derful enthusiasm shown inside was
reproduced.
Before the meetings Mr.. Bryan was
given an ovation by the citizenship in
his triumphant march up Broadway
from the Battery to his hotel. In Il
carriage, accompanied by the acting
mayor and other prominent men, Mr..
Bryan met with n continual vociferous
greeting all along the line of march,
and when he reached the Victoria ho-
tel at Fifth avenue and Twenty-sev-
enth street the sidewalks and road
ways were blocked by struggling hui
mainly His reception at the Victoria
hotel was i'm itself remarkable dem
onstration.

CLEMENTS COAL GRAFT
One Of the Documents Circulated BY the Re.
publican State Committee.

The Republican speakers during the
past week have discussed 10 the people
OF Vermont the reason why the Demo
cratic and Independent platforms are
silent on the question OF railroad rate
regulation. II will be remembered
that the investigation OF the Water
bury asylum revealed the fact that one
concern had had a secret rate on coal
for several years and therefore had
been able TO crush out competition,
this one company having a secret rate
from Alburg, the distributing point, to
Waterbury, Of from 20 to 30 certs ton
less than anybody else had.
The Republican state platform de-
clares in favor OF a state law 10 streng-
then the national law for rate regula.
ton and to put q penalty upon the rail
road which grants the secret rate and
the party who receives II. II Is the
greatest evil In our nation and our
state today aud the most important is
sue before the voters. When the Dem
ocratic and Independent conventions
met. under the control OF the man who
was to be their candidate, they were
absolutely silent on this question, II
Is now disclosed that the Rutland rail.
road company, while Clement was its
president, or while he has been ir-
ector, has been the most vicious OF all
in its breach OF the law and disregard
OF the rights Of the public at large.
Clement and his family own the Bris-
toll railroad, short line running from
New Haven Junction 70 Bristol. This
railroad OF which Clement Is the presi-
dent, does the coal business for the
village OF Bristol, all people there hay

which sells il at retail. The 81 istol
railroad gets all its coal from the Ru'-

II has been discovered thatwhile Glenn

benefit, a secret special rate on Goa
