Mr.. Bryan expects to have confer

Gov. Chanler and Controller Glynn. The
action of the democratic state conyen-
ton at New York this week probably VIII
not be discussed. however. as Mr. Bryan
clearly indicated to National Committee
man Norman f. Mack during a confer
ence here yesterday that he preferred not
to interfere In state politics. but desired
that each state settle Its own policy for
itself.
Conners Sees Bryan.
Just here to pay my respects to the
colonel, that's ALL said w. J. Conners OF
Buffalo, chairman of the democratic state
committee. at the reception held for Will
liam Jennings Bryan in Powers Hotel
yesterday afternoon. There's no political
significance in the meeting" Mr. Bryan
had said A moment before to the report
ers. and had called Mr.. Conners back 10
have him confirm his statement.
Norman F.. Mack Of Buffalo, democratic
national committeeman, who had con-
ference with the Nebraskan in the MORN
ing had much the same to say Of his
meeting, and SO far as is known no spe-
cial Significance is to be attached to any
meetings had here by Mr. Bryan with pol
iticians of more or less prominence.
There was a gOod-sized crowd at the
New York Central station to welcome the
candidate for the democratic presidential
nomination when he arrived in the morn
ing. The democratic reception COMMITTEES
was headed by Judge John D. Lynn Aft
er his interview with Mr.. Mack and q
brief rest Mr.. Bryan spoke at a meeting
of the Rochester Ministerial Association
In the Y. NJ. c. 4. Hall. His address was
tinsed with optimism. He emphasized
the idea of the real relation btween true
religion and fundamental science and
then made a few suggestions on how to
bring men into the church and make
Christians of them. The thought that
Christianity, If it were to discharge Its
mission, must come into vital relation
with the daily life of the people was made
prominent in this address.
Refers to Stock Market Gambling.
Mr. Bryan touched on the subject OF
gambling He said: Maybe you think
1 mean the race tracks. and I am with
you on that. But the most iniquitous
gambling is done in your stock markets.
There they gamble with other peoples
money, and the whole country is afflicted
by the vice. Monte Carlo has gained an
Infamous reputation for the embezzle-
ments it has caused. 1t has not caused
one embezzlement where your stock ex-
change has caused one hundred.
The speaker held the undivided atten-
ton Of his hearers, and was frequently In
terrupted by applause. Mr.. Bryan was
the guest of Judge Lynn at luncheon,
when he met number OF prominent
democrats here.
Students and their friends filled the
gymnasium of the University OF Roches-
ter in the afternoon. when Mr.. Bryan
made his address there. President Rus.i
Rhees introduced the speaker as one OF
the foremost citizens Of the country. Mr..
Bryan's general subject was education.
and he spoke at length on public speaking
and its Importance. The address closed
with a plea for such faith tnat which
characterized Abraham, of Bible story.
A Dreamer With the Corn.
The meeting in Convention Hall was
attended by 1900 persons. Judge John ID.
Lynn, introducing the speaker, called him
"the most distinguished personality in tho
United States
my enemies have called ME a dream-
err said Mr.. Bryan, but can bark back
to Holy Writ for justification OF my
course Joseph was set down as dreanl-
er by his brethren but after his exile into
Egypt when his brethren needed corn.
they found that the dreamer had corn.
SO has it been in all the ages that the re-
puted dreamer has mad the corn and has
been the savior Of his fellow-inen.
There has been a healthy growth or
public sentiment in favor since my
campaign In 1896 / must concede :hat
my candidacy was in the nature or 0is-
advantage at that time. but during that
campaign l often hoped that II nlRhc
prove of decided advantage. l was young
man then, more than ten years younger
than any previous aspirant for the ONCE
of President Some Of tn. voters might
have thought me too immature Tor the
exalted position for which l presented my
self. This portion of the populace may
not have understood Inc.
I'm 1896 l was buried. l know II, for
have often read about It. When I reap
pearcd in 1900 ! mystitied many repub-
licans who did not know whether l had
ever been killed or had just been resuI'-
rected. At ST. Louis I was run over and
trampled upon, but still live.
Money No Issue Now.
In discussing the money question Mr..
Bryan said that ii would be a nonentity
in the approaching convention.
''The same men who ass serted twelve
years ago" said Mr.. Bryan, that we had
too much silver money are now besieging
the Treasury Department in an effort TO
get the printing presses busy on a new
issue of bank notes. a silver dollar los -
half it's value when melted. but melt q
cashiers check and what is left?"
Conners Wanted a Private Confab.
1t is said tConners had a great deal TO
say to Mr.. Bryan in case he could get
him alone. He was accompanied by Sem
ator Grady and Barry Murphy. the Sec
retary of Lieut. Gov. Chanler. and tho
lieutenant governors name WAS to have
figured largely In the conference had S1r.
Bryan consented to private talk.
Conners came prepared to give TO Mr..
Bryan the rough outline of the things
that Murphy desired to talk about. w hen
Murphy and the Nebraskan meet these
things will be gone over In detail.
