 Previous to the Carnegie Hall meet ing tonight, Mir. Bryan was entertained at dinner at the home of Hilbert E. Ca rey. On approaching Carnegie Hall, little later. Mir. Bryan was given an ovation by crowd of ten thousand or more persons who could not get Into
 
 flag draped cart and from 1t he made brief speech. He was cheered repeas- edly, especially when a man In the crowd tried to argue with him and Bryan made a squelching reply.
 T can speak to you only briefly. as I have long speech to make inside, said Mir. Bryan. Let me call your at tention to the marked difference be- tween the Republican platform and ours. The Republican platform Is dtf- ferent especially in not outlining nsc- essary Legislation. Our platform tells the public what we think ought to be | done. We take the people into our con ndence and thus we show not only our faith in the merits of our policies. but also in the intelligence of the voters.
 Now there are four propositions as to labor for which we stand. First. VI l believe that there should be a deparxk ment of labor with cabinet oincer && | its head.
 "second. we believe that labor shqttild be taken out of the operation o1f the trust law.
 dispute should not be ,suffscienQ cause for the issuance of an inJunction.
 Fourth. we believe in trials by Jury in cases of indirect contempt

 Mir Bryan then left the cart and went into Cargenie Hall.
 When Secretary Smith of Tammany Hall called the mass meeting to order. every seat and every inch of space was hlled. It was an enthusiastic audi ence and when Chairman Herman Rider was introduced. the crowd ap- piauded for several minutes Mir. Ridder spoke on tarif reform.

 While Congressman Sulzer was speaking, Mir. Bryan and his party stepped from an entrance upon the stage. It was the Bryan demonstra- ton of eight and twelve years ago that followed.

 Mr. Bryan Speaks.
 When quiet was restored after a ten-minute outburst of enthusiasm. Mir. Bryan began his speech. He spoke as follows:
 MT Bryan took as his subject Re publican Tendencies" He spoke in part as follows:
 Parties are to be measured not merely by the things actually done but by their tendencies. Since 1t is easier to remedy evils in the beginning than after they are full grown. 1t Is import ant to know the tendencies of parties as well as to know how far they have gone.
