BRYAN TALKS on TENDENCIES
yDT4BLY THAT or A PRESI .
DENT TO MAZE SUCCESSOE.


live Minutes OF Cheers With Music.
Mr.. Bryan paused in his lightning cam
naisn through the enemy's country long
enough to talk for two hours and a little
more last evening before an audience
that packed Carnegie Hail. He also
talked In the street near the hall to an
overflow meeting. He announced a de-
fense OF his cause as the keynote Of his
address before the New York audiences
and the major portion Of his talk was OF
the defensive order. Once or twice he
allowed himself to speak Of your country
and your people as one addressing
outlanders might speak.
Despite the announcement in Mr..
Bryans first sentence that what he had
TO say would partake OF the defensive,
the packed house did not allow him to
feel his exile fo- minute. In compari-
son with his Madison Square speech on
The occasion OF his last visit to New York
upon his return from the world tour the
Carnegie Hall gathering last night was
love feast. Everybody was for Bryan
very strongly
Enthusiasm had warming up.
Long before 7 o'clock. although the
meeting was not scheduled until 3. lines
began to form along Fifty-seventh street
and on Seventh avenue. Inspector Waish
and 200 men, mounted and on foot. had
much to do to keep the sidewalk warmers
in order and prevent a jam against the
doors. The ticket Spectators. too. were
active. Although the Democratic COM
mittee had done everything possible to
4. <E ha
boards that meant seat inside, several
citizens did a thriving business along
the lines at 81 per ticket.
Promptly ct s.l5, when the flag draped
interior of the hall could hold not another
person safeiy, Thomas +. Smith, seore-
tary of Tammany Hall, introduced Her
man Ridder as chairman Of the evening.
Mr.. Ridder began the process, later'man-
fully oontinu ed by Johh>J. Delaney and
or gressman william Suker OF keeping the
Audience tingling with hot stun while MIR.
Bryan addressed the overflow meeting
down on Fifty seventh street just below
the corner Of Seventh avenue In pass
it.e Mr.. Ridder could I.otresist the temp
taton 10 review his fight against the
paper trust and to hc.ve a fling at Sp eakeT
cannon, whom he branded rs being the
most profane man In public office in
America as we'll as Big Car OF the House.
MIR. Delaney admitted frankly to his
audience that all he was doing was to
keen the rcsrrum warm while the cheers
that sounded from without sgnalled the
near approach Of the Tribune OF the
People. Congressman Sulzer threw some
ginSe. into his role as amuser by point
ing out the sure trend to victory IN No
vember. Said he
BRYAN and johnson will carry Minne-
sofa: Bryan and Stevenson will carry
Illinois; Bryan and Kern are going to
snatch Indiana away from the hepIp1ns-
cans, and what with the letters which
senator Foraker says he doesn't mind
Bryan is going to take Ohio out OF the
grasp of her favorite son.
Overwhelming cheers greeted Mr Sui
zers sweeping tally Of the future. Then
the cheers broadened into roar Oh vel
come for at the dramatic moment in Sui
zer's speech, when he was lauding Bryan
as the conserver OF the peoples liberties
the candidate stepped TO the front OF the
stage. With him were Sheriff Tom Foley.
Tom MeAvoy, Dan Cohalan, Norman
Mack. Robert Z. Hudspeth and otner
chieftains, who had been with him at the
open air meeting.
The house rose to the candidate and
the cheering continued for five minutes,
sssstei by the band.
!, hen it had subsidized Mr.. Bryan, in
his black alpaca coat and with his hgurej
lawn tie under whiting low collar, held
up his hand for silence and began to speak.
1t was then $50 O'Clock;
Speaking of Republican Tendencies'
blr. Bryan siid
Parties are to be measured not merely
by the things actually done but by their
tendencies. The tendency OF the Eepuh-
lican party is to increase the expenditures
of the Government out OF all proportion
to the increase in the population Az tne
first session OF the present Congress their
appropriations exceeded a billion dollars.
This is twice the appropriations OF session
OF the Fifty-first Congress. which was the
highest appropriation known up TO that
time The appropriations OF the last ses-
sion exceeded the appropriations OF the
preceding year by ninety million dollars
an increase Of almost 10 per cent. show
ing that In matters OF appropriation the
Republican leaders are hurrytng on at
an accelerated pace. And 1t mast be re-
mbered that this enormous increase
IN appropriations Is at o time when there
Is deficit of se0. 900 900 for the fiscal year.
What would be the pace IL they were not
threatened with q lack OF incomeA
The Republicans attempt to excuse aheir
unparalled appropriations by saying that
new work Is being undertaken: but this is
not a sufficient answer. No outside cause
eXcsp, imperialism can furnish an ex-
plantation. IL IL Is due to outside causes
and il 1t is due to inside causes there is
no cause except that the country has been
under Republican rule.
There are two reasons why the Repuoli-
can leaders are less careful OF eSpendi-
lures than the Democrats. The first Is TO
be found in the fact that the Republican
leaders are more intimately associated
with the tax eaters than with the taxpayers.
and being governed by public opinion with
which they come into contact they natu-
rally lean toward extravaganza.
The second reason Ia to be found In the
fact that the Republican leaders nave
been representing taxation as blessing.
and they naturally want to give the people
as much Of the blessing as possible. They
argue that we should have high tarih
whether we need the revenue or not, but
recognizing that there Is some opposition
to unnecessary taxation they try to make
the appropriations high enough to compel
the e1tortionate tariff rates demanded
by the protected interests. The Demo-
cratic party believing that a tax Is neces-
sary evil endeavors to limit the tax to the
actual needs Of the Government economi-
cay administered.
The present campaign presents another
tendency OF the Republican party. namely
to substitute a Presidential successor Tor
the Democratic plan Of popular selection
The President felt It his duty to select a
