Greater New York had its advent tonight

Speech From Cart in Street.
Previous 10 the Carnegie hall meeting
tonight Mr.. Bryan was entertained at din
ner at the home of Melbert +. Carey. On
approaching Carnegie hall d little later
Mr.. Bryan was given an ovation by ID
crowd of 10000 more persons who could
not get in the hall. The candidate was
taken TO flag-draped cart and from il
he made brief speech. He was cheercd
repeatedly
II can speak only briefly to you, as 1
have long speech to- make inside" said
Mr.. Bryan.
Let me call your attention. 10 the
marked ulIleTenCt between tnSN fepuD-
lican platform and ours. The Republican
platform is different especially in not out
lining necessary legislation. Our platform
tells the public what we think ought to
be done. We take the people into our
confidence and thus we show not only our
faith in the merits of our policy. but also
in the intelligence of the voters.
Four Propositions.
Now there are four propositions as TO
la bOr for which stand.
First. we believe that there should be
a department of labor with a cabinet CT
ficer at its head.
Second, we believe that labor should be
taken out of the operation of the trust
law.
Third. we believe that an industrial dis
pute should not be sufficient cause for the
issuance of an Injunction.
Fourth. we believe in trials by jury IN
cases of Indirect contempt.
Hearst Man in the Crowd.
A man who claimed to be union iron
worker here attracted the attention of
Mr.. Bryan and asked him if it were TRUE
that he had used the expression that
WOrkmCn were a lot of beggdrS when he
was in congress
II speak as a representative of organ
lied labor" the man added
NO you do not" shouted Mr.. Bryan.
My record is well enough known so that
no representative of organized labor
would have to ask me such a question:
did you or did you not use that eX
preston insisted the man.
Bryan answered:
Il shall not undertake now or at any
other time to answer any and every state
ment that may be made by those who are
trying 10 help the Republican party until
they get an Endorsement from the Repub-
lican party or its representatives,.

" hen Secretary Smith of Tammany

Ridder spoke on tariff reform.
Congressman Sulzer next spoke briefly

nounced that Mr.. Bryan would speak in

When quiet was restored after a ten
minute outburst of enthusiasm Mr.. Bryan
began his speech. He spoke as follows:
Mr.. Bryan's Speech.
Mr.. Bryan took as his subject "Repub
lican Tendencies" He said. in part:
| Parties are to be measured not merely
/ by the things done. but by their tenden-
/ cies Since il is easier 10 remedy evils
| in the beginning than after they are full
grown, il is important to know the ten
/ denotes of parties as well as TO know how
far they have gone. / desire tonight 10
call attention TO some of the tendencies
| of the Republican party.
Take. for instance, the matter of ex-
travagance in expenditures. The tenden-
/ cy of the Republican party Is to increase
! the expenditures OF the government out
of all proportion to the increase in the
population At the first session of the
present congress the appropriations eX-
ceeded a billion dollars. This is twice the
appropria tiOns of "a session of the Fifty
| first congress, which was the highest APP
preparation known up TO that time.
] Republican Extravaganza.
| The appropriations of the last session
exceeded the appropriations of the preced-
| ing year by ninety million dollars-an in
crease of almost 10 per cent, showing that
in matters of appropriations the Republi-
can leaders are hurrying on at an accel-
Grated pace. And IL must be remembered
| that this enormous increase in appropri-
atoms is at a time when there is a def
cit of sixty million dollars for the fiscal
year What would be the pace If they
were not threatened with a lack OF in
