sleep out of thirty-six, Mr.. Bryan spoke
with all of his characteristic vigor ami
good humor.
In all of his speeches today MT.
Bryan warned the workingmen against
the traitors among them. He asserted
that every laboring man who voted the
Republican ticket would vote to re-
pudiate the things that labor demanded
in the Denver platform

labor and assailed him at every oppor-
tunity. His references to the guaranty
of bank deposits brought shouts of ap~
proval at all of his meetings.
Lieutenant Governor Chanler shared
everywhere in the welcome that was
accorded Mr.. Bryan.
In his principal Brooklyn speech at
the rink Mr.. Bryan first discussed pub
licity of campaign contributions.
1.-THE people have been cheated" he
said, because the Republican organiza-
/ tion has given the promise in advance
that the people shall pay through legis-
lation the money contributed.
Work for New Era
The Democrats, he declared. wanted
| to inaugurate a new era in politics, and
he said he was proud to be connected
with that movement. With demonstra-
| tive applause he added:
MY friends, you may vote me down
or hold me up, you may elect or you may
defeat me, but the time will come when
this country will enjoy the relief that
| we are now trying to bring, and whom
that time comes and politics is purified
and elections and canVasses made
honest, whether | am living or dead.
the country will give me the credit
that / took part in this campaign for
| good politics"
Taking up the labor question he re-
ferred to the presidents attack on
! Samuel Gompers.
Mr. Gompers," he declared, idis
with the laboring man, while Mr. uoS,
whom the president appointed NJ
Gompers' stead, would think for tHe
laboring man"
1t would be a matter of indiff enc
to Mr.. Knox, he said, whether what
he thought for them agreed with thels
or not.
The Great Difference
| "In fact, my friends, the differsnCl
between an aristocrat and Demo
| is that the aristocrat fe~'- in iaag
bound to keep the people from hurting
themselves, even if to do so he has to
| nnfa rcIJ limo
| their own government, While a Demo-
crat says not that the people will make
any mistakes but that the people have
q right to make their own mistakes
and that nobody has right TO make
| their mistakes for them.'
He scored Mr.. Knox for his attitude
while attorney general regarding the
Littlefield antitrust bill, which he
charged was defeated after Mr. Knox
| had gone to Pittsburg and held con-
ference with III. G. Frick.
Mr.. Bryan fiayed Mr.. Taft for his
silence at certain places where he de-
livered speeches on the subject of
guaranty of bank deposits and his at
titude on the trusts
He closed with another denunciation
of the president for interfering in the
campaign.
Mr.. Bryan will leave tomorrow morn
| ing over the New York Central for
Schenectady, Albany and Troy
| Has Had Huge Success
Mr.. Bryan's campaign of New York
has been eminently successful, and has
| imbued the state party with remark
able zeal and optimism. There seems
to be no longer a doubt among Demo-
| cratic leaders here as to the election
outcome. Everyone now declares the
success of the Democratic candidate is
assured.
Mrs. William J. Bryan made her first
speech of the campaign at reception
| rendered her yesterday by the Women's
Democratic club. She accompanies her
husband constantly, but hitherto has
remained silent. Her speech ELECTED
