Early Morning Meeting.


New York, Oct. 27.-W. ]. Bryan in
addressing a mass meeting Of night
workers from the steps Of the City Hall
st o'clock this morning asssiled Judge
Taft for the lstier's alleged opposition
to labor. The Bryan meeting was unique.
"There IL no badge Of shame on the
man who earns his bread" said Mr..
BRYAN. "But the time is coming when
there will be on the man who spends his
time 10 idleness, spending the money of
others which was bequesthed to him. 1t
is the question of the measure of rewards
thst causes all Of the trouble between
employer and employe, and this fact has
been taken advantage OF by the criminal
trusts In recent years. The democratic
party believes that the people should
rule and is anxious to get back to the
early principles of the republic, but the
republican party has concentrated all
power into few men Who presume to
speak for the masses. The democratic
platform promises remedy through con-
ditions which the republicans have
created, and believe an entitled to
the support OF all who believe in popular
government, and in competition in busi-
ness"
Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband
10 the meetings.
The democratic candidate had an un-
usually busy day outlined for him when
he arose at 10 o'clock. He went directly
to the headquarters of the Order OF
Acorns where he delivered an address to
Broadway business men. In his speech
there he declared that the declarations
of the republican leaders that panic
would surely ensue il he is elected, are
absolutely untrue. 81 will be elected
and that fact will restore confidence"
he said.

recalls the recent meeting of the Bryan

OIeyeland's Cabinet-Herbert, Frsncis
and Harmon spoke and former oecre-
tary of State Olney sent letter, by res-
cod of bis enforced absence. Every
member Of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet Is
now actively engaged in Mr.. Brysn's
behalf. These men who so streuuously
opposed him formerly, are now numbered
among his friends and admirers, and
Secretary Olney says, that "no one but en-
able and sincere man could have stood
an analysis of his character and ability
az has Mr.. Bryan unless he we're truly
great" Time at last makes all things
even. and in the words Of the Charleston
Courier:

know him to be, above all, truthful and

have made, and thst is why they are
about 10 elect him president 10 spite OIL

buried in past overcome by larger ser
vice. that would have destroyed an ordi-
nary politician or statesman.
Mr.. Bryan does not throw flowers at
himself, ss does Mr.. Taft, but last week
he expressed his appreciation and con-
6deuce Of his party's interests in the
election, when he told the people In
New Jersey that he had united de-
mocracy behind him and frightened re-
publican party before him. Yet we
are told that in this city some white
men boast that they intend to vote for
