Mr.. Bryan's Speech.

Mr.. Bryan said:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I regret that
the delay of the train has shortened by
some two hours the visit which l am
making to you. l cannot express the ap
probation that l feel for the kindly
greetings that Alabama has accorded us.
appreciate the fact that you have
gathered from all over this state to make
glad the coming of one who needs no
additional testimonials to your good will,
and who comes not SO much with the
expectation that he can do you good as
with the confidence that ! can gather in
spiration here for work in other portions
of the country. It is pleasant to meet
again the faces with which / have be-
come familiar; 1t is kind of our member
of the national committee to be here
to welcome me, and kind of that good
friend, who can be counted among the
original Bryan men, Mr.. Tomlinson, to
represent you (Applause).
TomIlnson's Loyalty.

justified in telling you the first thing that
drew me towards him. 1 have been In
politics sometime and | have learned
something of the fair-weather friend, and
those who can be counted on no mat
ter what kind of weather we have Be-
fore the convention of 1896 Mr.. Tomlin-
son wrote to me that after looking over
the field he had concluded that l ought
to be nominated. Very few had ex-
pressed such an opinion. The original
Bryan men were few enough. so it was
not hard to keep the names of them,
but when 1 reached Chicago 1t looked
as If there was little prospect. and
told him so, and assured him that he
was not bound by what he had written
me, and that whenever he thought he
ought to support some one else, l want
ed him to feel free to do so. for told
him frankly that it did not look as If
had much chance, but he said he wasn't

he was for me- because he thought I

Jackson was loved by the masses be-
cause he was their firm and fearless

reign of the republican party, trusts flour

rich in the wake of the robber.
The measure of prosperity that we en-
joy today is not the fruit of republican
brave and Industrious people over repub-
lican difficulties and in spite of the repub-
lican party. (Applause) It is a scandal,
said Sir Charles Sibley of England, in
Williams reign, that a government so
sick at heart as ours should look so well
In the face. 1t will apply to us today
when the whole country is looking for a
man to stretch forth the healing rod, as

the order, went to Washington with
the delegates and will act as their
host. 1t is said that the councils of
the seeding states represent a mem
bership of 125,000.
The plans call for a general meet

SAYS Del 0 RATIO
LEADERS ARE CORPSES
John Moody Made Sensational
Statement at Essex County
Democratic Meeting.


NEWARK, Mar. 2.-There was a
lively row in a meeting of the recently
former Essex county Democratic
League in Newark last night. 1t was
caused by John Moody, chairman of
The Union County Democratic Com
mittee, who was present as a guest.
Asked to speak, he forcibly and I'M
hesitatingly denounced the Democrat
ic state and national leaders, includ-
ing Senator James +. Minturn, OF
Hudson county, and characterized as
political ~corpses," Grover Cleveland,
Alton Is. Parker and William J. Bry-
IN. More than two hundred members
of the League were present, and when
Mr.. Moody finished his speech he was
| GREETED with mingled cheers and cries
Of disapproval. He took up a recent
address made by Senator Minturn be-
fore the league and said that if the
senator had been correctly quoted, he
could not be relied upon, as his words
then then were in strong contrast to
| previous utterances.
AS soon as Moody sat down David
r. Howell, a lawyer, Of Newark, took
the floor.
1T is u~nbecoming in a Democrat,
especially n here as our guest, he
said, Ito attack such men as Cleve-
land, Parker and Bryan. l do not
know MIR. Moody or Senator Minturn,
but ! am acquainted with the other
three men he mentioned, and l will
not stand by and hear a man who
says he is a Democrat assail them and
refer to them as ~'corpses.' They are
of sterling character and integrity,
and | object to the remarks of Mr..
Moody
This reply threw the meeting into a
momentary uproar. Then Charles j.
Barnett, of South Orange, got the
floor and stood by Mr.. Moody. I'VE

racy by daring to express to us freely

There was another tumult OF ap

finished, but order was restored by
vigorous use of a gavel by s. p. Nor

then addressed the meeting, but thei
remarks were more conciliatory.

PROBING AWAY

old Tales.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-William
Nelson Cromwell on The stand at the
investigation of cahal affairs before
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals was told ,by Senator Morgan
that his testimony was not believed.
A warm exchange of repartee resulted.
Senator MorsafNinquired concerning
the financial difficulties of the old Pan
ANA Canal company and the extern
sions granted by Colombia to the re-
ceiver and later to the new Panama
Canal company. The questions partic-
ularly had reference to the 5000, 900
francs in stock set aside for Colombia
in the new company in consideration
of the formation of the new company.
Mr.. Cromwell said he had no part in
getting that concession and after reply
ing to several questions that he had no
knowledge on the subject said finally:
Il can claim no credit for that"
IF there was any discredit l pre-
sumo you do not wish to claim it." said
Mr.. Morgan.
II cannot see that there was any dis
credit in the company getting an tx
tension and paying its money for it,"
rejoined Mr.. Cromwell.
You don't?" asked Mr.. Morgan.
THAT very extension cost 100000 lives
and $4,000, 600 in debts

yo3- mention" said Mr.. Cromwell.
Retlflning to the history of the Pan.
anna Canal company, Mr.. Morgan read
Il letter written by a former president
of the board of trustees of the old
Panama company and took the wit
ness to task for his alleged failure to
remember it.
II have memory for what car re-
member, and what | have not you can-
not make me remember" said Mr..
Cromwell.
Mr.. Morgan referred to letters and
kilograms sent by Mr.. Cromwell to the
late secretary of state, MI. Hay. prior
to the last extension by Colombia. The
senator held these in his hand, but did
not read them.
Mr.. Cromwell admitted writing the
letters, but declined to say whether
would not say he remembered their
contents. The correspondence contain
ed the statement that war was about
to break out in Colombia and gave evil
dence that Mr.. Cromwell was cogni-
zant of the conditions in that republic.
