Hh1SAdiueI I1dIllllOH. WHICH ne re- viewed briefly.
 Mir. Bryan expressed the opinion that the rich men of today do not sympathize enough with the poor man, and the trouble was that people do not have money, but the money has the people" He wished to present Jefferson to the rich man as one who so appreciated. the advantages that money gave him that he asked for no law to al- low him to take the poor mans money and put it ill his own pocket
 MT. Bryan's oratory often brought his hearers to their feet with eXclamations of approval and shouts of applause, more especially when he enunciated the words: .It you do not believe in the right of Democratic people to govern themselves, I will drive you out of the Democratic party" and then he added, "because if the Demo- cratic party does not believe in the rule of the people it will haze no trouble in driving me out
 Praise for Republicans.
 Tn conclusion Mr. Bryan declared that it was perfectly proper and perfectly reasonable for the Demo- crats to praise the Republicans for incorporating into their plat forms Democratic principles. He urged all those present to work steadfastly for a unified party and for faithful adhe.ence t" the pin ciples of Democracy .a1d down by Thomas Jefferson.
 Mr. Bryan did not conclude his address until 1:55 a. m. having spoken about two hours. One of the last points in MT. Bryan's speech was a reference to his address at Madison Square garden after his trip around the world, in which he declared for government owner ship of railroads. He declared that the criticism of his attitude on this question had entirely over- looked the fact that he had pro- claimed the same doctrine two years before-that regulation of railroads was failure and that government ownership was the only true remedy
 Republic for Philippines.
 Mir. Bryan commented epigrammat- ically upon what he termed the fail ure of the Republican party to reform the tariff and uttered an earnest plea for the establishment of an independ- ent republic in the Philippine islands.
 In extending welcome to the guests at the opening of the meeting Mr. Sheppard paid tribute to Bryan, whom he welcomed with the words that the Brooklyn Democratic club then and there declared its strong and loyal hope that MT. Bryan would lead the party in 190S." Cheers followed MT, Sheppard's announcement.
 Williams. of Massachusetts, dis cussed the question of government ownership of railroads. He said:
 Government Ownership.
 q see no escape from the conclus- ion that if government ownership is right. it should be adopted now; If regulation is wrong. it should not be at all"
 But MT. Williams believed that reg ulation was not right. not possible and not expedient.
 Former Gov Tyler of Virginia, in the course of humorous speech de- clared that revolution sure and pow erful is pulsating in the nations bosom.
 sNew issues, or rather the enforce ment of old ones,' said MT. Tyler, "are stirring the people to the stern realities in a greater degree than they have been stirred for fifty years or more, and all this is fruit of the seed sown in 1896 and 1900 and kept alive ever since by the eloquence of w. J. Bryan, a grandson of Virginia and encouraged by the voice and manda%e of Theodore Roosevelt who, no doubt, will be ready to place him in nomina- tion in the next Democratic national This allusion to a recent meeting in the South at which T speaker suggested that Mir. Bryan should nominate MT. Roosevelt for the presidency, was greeted with cheer ings.
 MT. Tyler went on to say that the people of the South are practically united for Bryan and that the mention of his name is as potent in flashing z magic spell of enthusiasm as it was
