Carnegie Hall, N. Y, September 1S.--
Democracy's presidential campaign in
Greater New York had its advent tonight
when William J. Bryan, at mass meet
ing under the auspices of Tammany
Hail. spoke before enthusiastic thousands
who filled Carnegie Hall and overflowed
into the streets. The ovation accorded
to the presidential candidate was bril-
liant climax to a day in which a united
party paid Mr.. Bryan a continuous re-
ception.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for over an hour on
Republican Tendencies" at Carnegie
Hail. and for over ten minutes his au-
platform.
Before the meeting the candidate spoke
from a cart tail to an overflow gathering
of New Yorks thousands who had futile
ly stormed the line of police to gain ad-
mission to the hall. On his arrival here
today, Mr.. Bryan spoke at a noon-da-
meeting, and during the afternoon held
constant levees at his hotel, where demo-
cratic leaders in the city and state called
upon him.
Previous to the Carnegie Hall meeting
tonight Mr. Rrvan was entertained at
dinner at the home of Melbert E. Cary.
On approaching Carnegie Hall, little
later. Mr.. BRYAN was given an ovation
> nv a crowd of 10000 or more persons
who could not get into the hall. The
candidate was taken to a flag-draped
cart and from it he made brief speech.
He was cheered repeatedly, especially
when a man in the crowd tried to argue
with him and Bryan made a squelching
reniv ..

Bryans Speech.
Mr.. BRYAN took as his subject, Re
publican Tendencies He said In part:
Parties are to be measured not merely
by the things actually done, but by their
tendencies Since it is easier to remedy
evils in the beginning than after they are
full grown, 1t is important to know the
tendencies of parties as well as to know
how far they have gone. l desire tonight
to call attention to some of the tendencies
of the republican party.
