L ST O EW YORK, Oct. 2I.—William J. | Bryan's second coming to this | city was the to-night of one of the t political demonstrations of the campaign Fourteen thousand pe. cheered the Democratic candidate at Madison-square Garden. He had been speaking all day. | This morning was spent at New Haven and this afternoon he made several ad- dresses &t points between New Haven and this city. He was accompanied to this| city by 200 Yale students. When he ar- rived at Grand Central station there were more than 5000 persons to greet him. He spent the inder of the afternoon at the Hoffmzn House, where he went over the business of the campaign with the | Jeaders ed a dinner in his hon- or, at w e were forty-five guests. He afterward witnessed the great pyro- technic display. The sky was carpeted with red and Madison square ablaze | in his honor when the carriage which was | to take him on his tour appeared. The | streets were crowded with people and his trip Madison-square Garden was a triumphal one | The op was at the Broadway Ath- Jetic Club, where Mr. Bryan spoke to| 10,000 enthusiastic people, the majority of whom were Italians. He reached Cooper | Union about § o'clock and addressed a | large gathering of Germans. Thence Mr. an drove to the corner of Fourteenth and Second avenue, where he made | ch from his carriage to a crowd of | 5000 people. He made another | about speech from his carriage to & nunefin‘; eth street and Second avenue. Mr. Bryan's Madison-square Garden speech was not begun until after 10 o'clock. It was uniike his former speech et that place. It was addressed to the independent class mainly, and he re- ferred to the financial issue. Many times he was forced to stop because of the tre- mendous cheering. From the time he en- tered the ball until he quit speaking the | outside of the hall was ringing Wwith cheers. As @ climax to the day he made two other outdoor speeches. The fArst was from a stand near Dewey arch, where he talked to 15,000 persons who could not get into Madison-square Garden. He made another short speech at Madison avenue end Twenty-fourth street. He was then driven to the Hoffman House, where he retired for the night. From the time Mr. Bryan left the Hoff- man House early in the evening until he reached the hotel, when all the mectings were over, he was in thé midst of a rOar of noise which was deafening. At Madi- son square a few minutes after 6 o'clock &n electric current was turned on and the thousands of incandescent lights began to glow. Immense electric signs with the names of Hill, Cockran, Wellington and an were in the garden. Festooned on Dewey arch and colonnade were nge of incandescent globes. Immedi- following this illumination began the fireworks display. at Twen garden was filled and the police stoppesd further entry at 7 o'clock. Then the late comers turned their attention to the two outside stands. The principal one was at Madison avenue and Twenty-fourth street and was brilliantly illuminated. The many smaller stands used by the Republicans on Friday night were still in ' place and these had been decorated with lanterns and lights, and speakers mounted these and made speeches. At Madison- square Garden Mr. Bryan was noisily re- cetved. “We need them,” he said, “more than | Republicans need similar clubs, for we must do by volunteers what Republicans cam hire done. We must rely upon them and their members to aid in perfecting | the organization throughout the country. ‘We must rely upon them to raise the money to provide for meetings and to cir- culate literature, and our club organiza- tions have not been more effective than | in this campaign. “In searching for a text for this even- ing’s speech I found a passage in Prov- erbs which sets forth the thought which I désire to impress upon you. You will find it in the twenty-second chapter and twenty-eighth verse: ‘Remove not the an- clent Jandmarks which thy fathers have set.” *The Democratig party is the conserva- tive party of to-day, the Republican party | the revolutionary party. The Democratic party 1is defending time-honored prin ciples; the Republican party is urging ex- periments. The Democratic party is ap- plying famillar principles to new ocendi- tions; the Republican party is removing the ancient landmarks."” In connection with his discussion of the trusts Mr. Bryan mentioned the names of Senator Hanna and Governor Roosevelt, whereupon there were hisses and groans from different parts of the assemblage. Mr. Bryan again referred to the utterance credited to Senator Scott of West Vir- ginia, to the effect “that trusts were a good thing,” and referred to the fact that Benator Scott ir in charge of the Eastern branch of Republican headquarters. He said he cited these facts to show that the Republican party is the defender of the trusts. “Think,” he exclaimed, *“of a party tak- ing a position, as Senator Scott has done, that the Standard Ofl trust is a blessing to this country.” Senator Wellington of Maryland fol- lowed Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan had a hard time getting out of the garden and out of the speaker's stand. - The police vigilance seemed to be unavailing. Hundreds of men swarmed about the press Inciosure and around the speaker's stand. The crowd quickly choked the small stairway down which Mr. Bryan had to pass. Chief Devery stood helpless in the center of the surging erowd, and Mr. Bryan's companions had to force a passage for him and themselves ‘through the throng. Another crowd rushed toward the box that Mrs. Bryan had occupied, and in five minutes the floral decorations were car- ried off as souvenirs. The party finally The crowds were ! succeeded in getting away from the build- coming in thousands by this time. m]u ROOSEVELT UPHOLDS HONOR INGHAMTON, N. Y., Oct. 21— Completing over 1100 miles of travel and having made dver fifty | ished the first week of his State campaign in this city to-night. This was Governor Roosevelt's forty-third birth- day. The special train was discarded by the party here and hotel beds were adopt- ed for resting purposes to-night. Speak- ing here to-night, Governor Roosevelt said: “The other day at Yonkers Mr. Bryan said that it was better for Mexico that we did not keep possession of the coun- try. The United States never wished to keep possession of Mexico, but let. Mr. Bryan compare the psogress that has been made in New Mexico, which we did take, with what went on before and he will spesdily make up his mind that it Las | greatly profited by being put under our flag. Incidentally, if Mr. Bryan will look | up the history of the Territory of New { Mexico he will sce that he need not be | concerned about Porto Kico. We governed | New Mexico at first exactly as we are governing Porto Rico. Now we give Jargely a measure of self-government to its people, just as we have given such & measure to Porto Rico. For fifty years New Mexico bas been kept as a Teeritory, yet Mr. Bryan does not talk about the consent of the governed in New Mexico. | As a matter of fact, I believe New Mex- ico should now be a State, but it would have been folly to have admitted it to statehood for the forty odd years after we took possession. In the same way it would be folly now to administer the gov- ernment of Porto Rico save as we are actually administering it. One Bryanite advocate the other day quoted the elder Adams, a siguer of the Declaration of In- dependence and the first President after Washington, as an anti-expansionist, but in reality Mr. Adams ‘n a letter to Sen- ator Quincy of February 9, 1811, explicitly states that the constitution admits of (to use his own words) ‘conquering by kind- ness or force allen territory.’ ' “I doubt if there was a single statesman worthy of the name among those who founded this Government who ever adopt- ed in gerious earnestness the extreme po- sition now occupled by Mr. Bryan.” At Callicoon depot the Governor ap- pealed to his héarers on the grounds of self-interest and patriotism. He dwelt upon the prosperity of things now as com- pared with four or five years back and sald: Mr. Bryan is making his canvass against the honor of the flag precisely as the copperheads from 1561 to 1865 made their canvass against the honor of (he flag. It is profanation for him, standing as he does, to dare to quote Abraham Lin- coln when he is following in the footsteps of those who vilified Lincoln and de- nounced the men who fought for the na- tion as Lincoln’s hirelings, just as Mr. Bryan and those like him denounce our soldlers at the present day.” speeches, Governor Roosevelt fin- | | £ STARS AND STRIPES Declares Bryan's Campaign the | . Same as That Made by | Copperheads. minutes was made, Governor Roosevelt sald, referring to a campaign club’ which carried the American flag: “'I have a right to appeal to those who carry the flag. Mr. Bryan has said that it is his purpose to haul down that flag in the Philippines.” “Not yet,” said some one in the crowd. “Not much,” repeated the Governor, ap- provingly, catching the import of what was said, but not the words. “If he did that,” continued the Governor, ““he would not give liberty to the Fillpinos any more than he would give liberty to the Apaches | In Arizona by hauling down the flag there from the Apache reservation. You would give Apaches license to scalp people, and you would give license to certain Malay bandits and half-breeds to do far worse than that. These islands would be trampled into a bloody mud by these eighty-four warring tribes, and some oth- er nation would step in and do the work we léft, leaving us hanging our heads be- cause we had played the part of the cra- ven and the weakling."” At Middletown Governor Roosevelt spoke to an audience which filled the op- era-house. The Governor said in part: “I have hitherto asked Mr. Bryan in vain to answer whether, if elected, he will pay the outstanding obligations in gold or in silver; that is, whether it'is the Secre- tary of the Treasury or the creditors who have the right to choose the coin In which to be paid. Mr. Brvan having failed to answer, I will answer. I will now change the form of my question.” Roosevelt then quoted from a speech by Mr. Bryan in the House of Representa- tives on February 14, 18%, in which the latter said: *‘We should compel President Cleve- land to protect the Government by re- deeming in silver when that is more con- venient. We believe that greenbacks and treasury notes are redeemable in either gold or silver at the option of the Govern- ment.’ " 7 . The Governor also quoted from another speech in the House of Representatives (: December 22; 1889, in which Mr, Bryan id: “‘The present Secretary of the Treas- ury (Mr. Carlisle) has construed the law to mean that the option really applies to the note holder and the same principle has been applied to the greenbacks. find the Erfglish language hardly adequate to express my feelings on that subject. There is not a lawyer that would apply such a doctrine in anything except finance. 1 am In favor of the comstruc- tion that the Government has the option and can exercise it to pay In silver when | was planned as the culmi | stretched between the big buildings and 1} it wants to. And if we have it, why not exercise it, and not turn over our finances to the control of those who conspire to defeat the purposes of the Government?" “I now ask Mr. Bryan whether his views are still the same as they were when he made these two speeches, and it 80, why he refuses to meet the question now when he then sal PROSPERITY OF THE NATION SHOWN BY A GREAT REPUBLICAN PROCESSION Chicago the Scene of a Vast Army of Marchers Who Would Continue the Country’s Present Conditions. EATRSER s AEOT Workingmen From All Branches of Industry, Law- yers, Merchants, Railroad Men and Financiers cago yesterday. HICAGO, Oct. 27.—For six hours | and a half to-day workingmen from every branch of industry in | Chicago, lawyers, merchants, rail- | road men and financiers, marched | through the downtown streets of the city | in the parade of Republican voters, which ion of the na- | tional campaiga in Chicago. Between two solid lines of spectators streiched frem ml-i starting pcint of the long march on Mich- igan to its dishanding place on Jackson boulevard, near the river, and un- derneath thousands of flags and banners avenue waving from the windows and roofs, the paraders tramped from 19 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. The day was practically a holiday in Chicago. The Board of Trade, the banks | and many of the big downtown stores were closed, and the residence districts were practically deserted, while the peo- | ple massed themselves along the miles of | tortuous march and applauded to their | heart's content. The day was a perfect one. Hardly a cloud flecked the sky, while a cool breeze | trom Lake Michigan tempered the warm | rays of the sun and kept fluttering the | flags and streamers which decorated the line of march, and lifted high in the air the scores of fmmense kites from which e suspended “McKinley and Prosper- 1ty" banners. | START OF THE PARADE. i Promptly at 10 o'clock the head of the | parade, composed of a double line of po-| lice and followed by Chief Marshal E. C. Young and staff, moved from the starting | point at Michigan avenue and Randolph | street, and from that time the marchers, | with scores of bands playing all kinds of | music—good, bad and indifferent—tramped | steadily over the granite pavements past | the reviewing stand on Jackson boule- vard to Jackson and Market streets, where .they disbanded. At nearly every | point along the line of parade, the march- ers, cheering, waving flags, blowing horns and singing campalgn songs as they filed by, were cheered in return by the densely packed masses on the sidewalks, but here | and there a counter demonstration in fa- vor of Bryan was made by the throngs, and in one Instance almost a riot took | place in consequence. BRYAN ROUGHS APPEAR. In front of the City Hall, on Washing- ton street, were gathered a crowd of en- thusiastic Bryan shouters, all waving pic- tures of the Democratic Presidential can- didate. Some one in the crowd on the walk threw a potato into the ranks of a | West Side marching club going by. The | potato hit a .marcher in the eve and forced him to leave the ranks. Another marcher plunged into the crowd and forc- ed his way to the thrower. In an Instant there was a free-for-all fight. Three com- ' panies of the marchers broke ranks and | with uplifted canes rushed into the strug- gling, shouting mass on the sidewalk. 1t took vigorous work by over thirty po- licemen before things were quieted down. ‘ and in the meantime black eves and gory | noses had accumulated to an alarming ex- | tent. | MANY UNIQUE FEATURES. | The parade was replete with unique fea- tures. Well up toward the head of the | | | ferferferferiele doloies | represented in the | the speaking, The Chicago and Alton employes es- corted a float representing a parlor chair car. Near the center of the parade, borne aloft on poles by a hundred men, a huge banner, a block in length, in- scribed “MeKinley and Rooseveit and four more of prosperity.” A 60-foot plank, gilded and properly in- ribed, was borne on the shoulders of fifty uniformed men. REVIEW OF PARADE. The parade was reviewed by Senators Hanna, Mason and Cullom, National Com- mitteeman Henry C. Payne, Perry S. Heath and others from the balcony of the Grand Pacific Hotel, and around this point the greatest enthusiasm of the parade was shown. Senator Hanna especially was cheered by the marchers and was kept busy responding to the salutations. Many out-of-town organizations were parade. The most prominent was a delegation of, 150 from the Amerieus Club of Pittsburg, who were guests of the¢ Hamilton Club. Big march- ing clubs were also present from Rock- ford, Dixon and Deering, Ill., and from many of the near-by suburban towns. REPUBLICANS - ATTACKED. American Flag Torn Down and Mis- siles Thrown at Speakers. CHICAGO, Oct. 2i.—A Democratic mob on Friday attacked prosperity wagon No. 1, from which Republican speakers werea | | telling of the benefits of the past four years of Republican rule, tore down Old Glory from the wagon; tore President McKinley's picture into shreds and as- saulted the speakers with mallets, bricks, tin cans and paving blocks. A riot ecail was turned in from one of the factories near by and a wagon load of policemen from the- Chicago-avenue station quelled the disturbance. The speakers most seriously Injurel were Judge W. W. Frost of Missouri and | Attorney O. H. McConoughey of Chlcago. McConoughey was beaten with a mallet on the head and rendered unconscious. Judge Frost was struck with a brick in the right side while chasing a man who tore down the Stars and Stripes. Another brick dislocated his left elbow and dis- abled him from further duties for the day. The riot occurred in front of the factory of the Hawley Down Draft Furnace Com- | pany, at Superior and Townsend streets, | at goon. The factory of the Illinois Can Company is across the street from the furnace company's plant. Workmen from the two factories were gathered to hear and maae the audience about 1000 persons. The disturbing ele- ment of Democrats in the crowd did not number more than 200. After the riot was over the prosperity wagon was drawn back to the Republican headquarters, on Congress street, with the banners torn into rags and the emblems of plenty mu- | tilated. PESIEEY.
