LIKE A LION’S ROAR. Stentorian Tone of Labor Echoes Through the Land. APPEAL FOR VOTES FOR BRYAN. The Wage-Harners of Brookiyu Adopt Resolutions Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. bined laber interests here issue this appeal to wage-earneré “We believe the present ¢ to be much more thana tween the democrats and republican parties, more against gold,and is not a ntest the poor against the rich, labor against capita! farmers against the arti cbants, nor of the creditor the debtor class; but when sifted and analyzed, and stripped frem all sophistry, it is a battle of the peo i of wealth, ple against the o} founded on special privileges; there- fore, be it Resolved, That services unreservedly to the earnest we pledge our and active support of the able tribune of the people, William Jen nings Bryan, for president of the United States, and we ask the sup- port and earnest co operation of all| the toilers.” New York, Sept. 23.—There has; perhaps never been such a signifi cant demonstration for W. J. Bryan in the east as that given to-night in| Brooklyn by the combined iabor in terests. If it had been a rooted question whether the labor people! of the east would respond to call for a mass meeting in favor of Mr. Bryan, it would have been answered by the demonstration at the Cler- f | standard with its “No Watsov, No Bryan.’ Larma: ni “The sent Bryan’ is on the i county and aiew men who ere will ing to accept Bryan and Sewall e} upon th country 9 attendant tra ruin and serfdor may be the re- ?

It was a typical labor gathering, and even the women and children present were filled with the enthu- siasm of the occasion. It was also a meeting far out of the ordinary in its methods of procedure. Instead of the formal introduction, nominat ing a presiding officer, a clean cut man with gray hair stepped to the front of the platform shortly before 8 o'clock and said: | our support Sewall and he is not our candidate. But ths mere fact of our inability to compel his withdrawal in favor of Watson is no justification fora re fusal to support Bryan. Our nation al committee has acted,and is acting in good faith toward both of our candidates, doing its utmost for the advancement of the interests of both. Its prerogatives,so far as the individ- ual acts of the several states are core cerned, are purely ministerial. How- ever much it may desire that Watson be given an equal showing with Bry an in choice of electors in the sever al states, it can only advise and can j tion of the co itution that impairs jand cripples the just powers of the} | national government in the essential | matters of taxation, and at the same [time discriminates against the great- jer pert of the people of our country. “The practical effect of the deci- sion today is to give to certain kinds of property a posit jand advantage incousistent with the fundamental! principles of our social organization and to invest them with a power aud ioflasnce that may be Perilous to ihat portion of the Amer larger part of the burdens of the ican people upon whom rests the, ;government, but who ought not to “Will the audience please take|not dictate or control their actions. |P 2 from their seata the song et is| Tbe rank and file of the enon earned meulthiany nore thantio thero and join in singing it,’ and|of our party, regardless of the wish | roperty of the coustry should be at they responded so heartily that the|es or acts of committees or leaders, | =< mmarcyrot thellawicna! refrain‘ “you shall not press the|desire a union of forces to the esd : crown of thorns upon the toilers brow,” rang against the unpainted rafters and re-echoed again and when it was finished a mighty cheer went up. And so it was throughout the meeting, and while they were waiting for the arrival of Mr. Bryan who was speaking at another place, they listened to several speakers. The meeting was presided over entirely by labor organizations, and the stage contained a representative from each local organization. When the meeting was called to order every aisle and every corridor was crowded, and when messages were read from E. V. Debs and John W. Hayes, secretary of the Knights of Labor, there were vociferous cheers. Debs said in his telegram: “Millions are with Bryan and will place him in the chair Lincoln occu pied, in spite cf British Toryism and coercion. The foregoirg resolutions were then adopted: Senator Patrick H. McCarron read a set of resolutions, which the meet- ing adopted They recite that the election to be held in November is of greater importance than any since the Civil war, denounces corpora tions and monopolies and compli | ments Bryan for the skill with which | he has thus fer led the fight. | “We find our faith in him} strengthened,” eays the resolutions, | “by the abuse poured upon him by! the enemies of the people, the de- famers of the democracy and the! traitors to the democratic cause: who, venturing to insult the inteili- gence of the American people by | using ihe democratic name as a de- | coy flag, have at last found their fitting home in the bosom of repub licanism as it is typitied by Quay of Pennsylvania, Platt of New York and Mark Hanna, the labor crusher of Ohio.” The document in conclusion, pledges the allegiance of demeeracy for Bryan and the whole ticket. that Bryan may be elected and Me- Kinley defeated Aud while they expect our committees, national and | state, to everything that is possible! for the advancement of the cause and the welfare of the party, they can not and do not expect our com mittees to be able to compel the concession of everything we desire | Here in Missouri the Populis!

These four votes will | be cast for Watson, and while the! other thirteen will be elected by the | aid of Populist votes, these four} could not be elected without the aid| of democratic votes. Every man in| Missouri who is honestly opposed | to McKinley and the British gold! standard will vote for these seven. | teen electors—he who is not For) Bryan 18 for McKinley, there is no| middle or neutral ground in this| fight. One of two conclusions must be reached relative to the men who are preaching “Watson or no Bryan” and sowing the seeds of discord among the ranks of tke people: They are either thoughtless and indiffer- ent as to the outcome of their actions and the present and tuture welfare of the people or else they are in the pay of Hanna's goldbug emissaries who have hired them to keep the people divided. Weare loth to en- | tertain the latter conclusion but plain | and positive proof compels it. The people demard and must have relief. Bryan's election does uot mean a realization of all our needs and de- mands but is a long stepin the right direction and is best we can do and the man who deliberately stands in | the way of such consummation, even | though done in the guise of a “re. | former,” should be and will be run | over and lays himself justly liable to ce suspicion of corrupt motives, great cause is fraught with immeas- urable danger to the future of the country, and tbat it approaches the proportion of » national calamity, I feel it my duty to enter my protest against it.” Mr. Justice J dissenting remarks in the following language: Sums up his | ly swear that J am an American by} , the Seveath Iowa during the late | Mexico for twenty-five years; that I} | Speak the Spanish language us well | or better than I do the English.
