THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1900.

had been distributed, and were given jrcoedence even over box-scat tickets. About -') men from the diffcrervt cities dtnartmonts were on hard to art as ushers, vrA at 5 o'clock the rolice detail arrived. Deputy Chief Cortright, with nearly a score uf captains and a corresponding number of sergeants and roundsmen, were lr charge, in the half hour preceding the opening of the doors the policemen marched and countermarched about 'the garden, the crowd cheering. The policemen wore their dress-coat uniforms an! white gloves. At S:M. to the mlr.ut?, the sound of explowing1 bombs outside the garden anr.cunced the opening of the doors. Instantly there was a great rush by the people from the Madison-avenue hallway and from the Twenty-flxth-street entrance, which, according to police arrangements were to be kept clear for ticket holders. In the first rush were a few women whu got seats near the speakers" stand. In lrss than ten minutes every seat on the l!oor was taken, and the crowd which ha J begun to pour In from all Hides attacked the galleries. Five minutes later saw the balcony and a part of the galleries black with people. The rush was then over, but there came a steady Mream through the principal doors, and all empty seats were to-m filled. The crowd did not appear at first to be demonstrative. When the lights were ail turned on. there came a brief cheer. The big semi-circular electrical display over the speakers stand bore the portraits of, the two Democratic candidates, the Democratic emblem and the Democratic watchword, credited to Mr. Croker. "We wish to remain free people."' In great letters of light. Then the band struck, up a national a'r and as the people recognized "Yankee Doodle" they got up In their seats, with uncovered head?, and as they waved thousands of small American flags shouted out the words of the song. The garden was decorated In the national colors only. Streamers radiated from the center of the roof, underneath the skylight, to the heads of the iron pillars over the galleries, and festoons of flags, with the colors of the different States, lined the galleries. The speakers' stand was draped f Irr ply with flags and red white and blue bunting. YELLS FOR CROKER AND BRYAN. At 6:20 o'clock the only seats remaining vacant in the entire Garden was an occasional box, the tickets for which remained good until 7 o'clock. The crowd wa3 orderly, and frequent performances by the band brought out enthusiasm. The arrival of prominent Tammany men before the opening of the meeting brought out the first strong. applause of the evening. As 7 oclock approached, the hour when Sir. Bryan was expected to arrive, the crowd began to warm up. The Garden was Jammed. The police kept the aisles fairly well cleared, and back of the gallery seats there was not an Inch of available space. Mr. Bryan entered the Garden at 7:1' o'clock. As the face of Mr. Croker, behind which appeared Mr. Bryan's, was seen, the crowd burst forth In one great prolonged yell. Every one stood tip-toe on his seat, and the Garden was a sea of waving flags. A3 ilr. Bryan, escorted by Mr. Croker, mounted the speakers' stand the cheering was continuous. The two climbed the rtatrs and made their way to the front, followed by the reception committee. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Croker frequently responded to the cheering by bowing to the vast audience, and the faces of both were wreathed with smiles. Just behind the two bs they mounted the platform Mayor Van Wyck escorted Edward M. Shepard, who acted as chairman of tbe meeting. The cheering continued: now dying down, now being renewed with Increased vigor. It continued for five minutes, not abating when Mr. Bryan rose to his feet and raised his hand. Mr. Croker pulled him back into his seat. The cheering went on. Then Mr. Croker rose, hesitated a moment, then raised his hand for silence. Instead of ceasing the crowd broke forth louder than ever. Do what he could, Mr. Croker could not silence the rrowd. After nearly llt'teen minutes of cheering the applause began to decrease. Mingled cheers and hisses, the latter for silence, lasted a minute longer. Three cheers for our next President brought out :i final cheer, but an effort to repeat it was drowned In cries of "Put him out!" The enthusiasm nearly carried the crowd away. The throng at the Madisonaverue end of the Garden jammed down the aisle and the sixty odd policemen at that point had to do sincere battle with the crowd to ke-p it under control. RESOLUTIONS READ. ' When eulct was restored Mr. Croker rose, took Mr. Shepard by the hand and introduced hin: to the audience as chairman of the mi'c'.i:. Before Mr. Shepard could get Into the subject of "imperialism." to which mout of Ids address wa3 devoted, the crowd set to Impatient to hear Colonel Bryan that Mr. Shepard could not proceed. He suddenly stopped and Introduced President Gugenhelmer, of the Council, who offered the formal resolutions of the evening. These welcomed Colonel Bryan and Mr. Stevenson to New York, approved the Kansas City platform, opposed Imperialism, protested against an enormous standing army as a menace to the Republic, praised the volunteer army as being sufficient in emergency, opposed entangling foreign alliances, sympathized with the Boers, denounced trusts, pledged the party to bring back to the people constitutional government and charged the Republicans with having raised a gigantic corruption fund to debauch the suffrage. The resolutions were cheered, though they could not be heard for the thouts for Bryan, and Mr. ßhepard at once Introduced the latter in a few short sentences. Colonel Bryan stepped to the railing about the stand as the throng broke afresh into cheers. lie raised his hand for silence, but the cheers did not subside. Col. Bryan was dressed simply in a black suit, with a short sack coat. Thre cheers for our next President!" came from the audience. Colonel Bryan raising his hand in deprecation. The crowd was about to become quiet, when, with a boom and flash of fire, a flash-light bomb went off In the center of the room. Women shrieked, and the crowd yelled, not knowing what It all was. There was great excitement and disorder for a moment, and calls for the police. A dozen policemen rushed to the spot where the man sat who had fired the bomb, grabbed him, FAIE WEATHER TO-DAY.

All Ills ttterancea Since Leaving Lincoln Itehaahed to Xew Yorkers. Mr. Eryan had stood riuletly at the rail on the platform. There was another attempt to renew the cheering, but hisses greeted It, and Colonel Bryan commenced speaking. He began quietly, his voice being scarcely audible a hundred feet away from the stand, but he gradually spoke louder and in a moment his voice could be heard by the galleries. The crowd listened In silence for a time, but when the speaker declared that the Democratic party recognized the right ol ability of mind and muscle to the fruits of its soil the crowd broke forth into cheering. In opening, Mr. Bryan referred to the vast audience before him and said that it Indicated an Interest in the campaign which must be gratifying to all who realized the importance of the questions involved. He declared that he was not vain enough to accept the enthusiasm manifested as a personal tribute to himself, because he said, "the Individual counts for nothing- except that he may be the instrument used by the people to carry out their own will." He Immediately entered on a defense of the Democratic cause and said : "To say that the people gathered here who support our cause are the enemies of honest wealth is a slander, which could not bo uttered without the one who uttered It knew It to be false. We are not opposed to that wealth which comes as tho reward of honest toll and Is enjoyed by those who give to society something in return for that which society throws upon them. The Democratic party to-day Is not only not the enemy of honest wealth, but the Democratic party of to-day is the best friend of the wealth that represents ability of muscle or of mind employed in its accumulation." Mr. Bryan went on to say that the party draws the line between honest wealth and predatory wealth, "between that wealth which is a just compensation for services rendered and that wealth which simply measures tho advantages which some citizen has taken over many citizens." He declared that no honest industry, no .inest occupation, no honest man need fear the success of the Democratic party. The Democratic party," he said, "showed lt3 honesty by stating what it believed and telling the people what it will do." HE COMPARES PLATFORMS. He asked for a comparison of the Democratic platform with the Republican party platform, and expressed confluence that any honest man making such comparison must be convinced of the sincerity of the declaration of the Democratic platform, and the hypocrisy of the Republican platform. Taking up the Republican declaration of principles, Mr. Bryan said that that party is not prepared, to-day, to make a fight on a question before the country. "And," he continued, "if you want proof, let me remind you that the Republican party, to-day, instead of presenting any great principle and defending it, is presenting an appeal to every class of people supposed to be approachable in any direction." He then went on to enumerate the various classes to which he said the Republicans were making specious appeals, and he Included in the list the farmer, the laborer, etc. "It gives the laborer," he said, "the assurance that he will have a full dinner pall, and then It assures him that there will be a large army to make him satisfied with hla full dinner pall." Mr. Bryan declared that tho prosperity of which the Republican party boasts is a different thing In different localities. In the East, he said, they will tell you how prosperous the farmer of the West l?, and in the West you hear of the high wages and general employment of the laboring man throughout tho East. In this connection Mr. Bryan related the report of his own prosperity as a farmer, and proceeded to show that the report was a geat exaggeration. If, he said. I am a sample of what Is going on on the farm I have some Idea of what Is taking place there. Referring further to the Republican claim of prosperity, Mr. Itrj-an claimed he was willing to admit that the army contractors and the trust magnates might be prosperous. "A man who gets special privileges at the hand of the government can prosper under Republican administration," he said, "but I deny that the wealth producers of the country are enjoying their share of the government's productions." At this point there were cries of "Hanna!" "Hanna!" Mr. Bryan merely responded by asking his audience not to trifle with a great name. Taking up the subject of trusts, Mr. Bryan declared that they had grown under this administration more rapidly than ever before, and he asserted that the Republicans refused to meet the issues they created. He declared that the President "spends more time warning you not to hurt your food trusts than he does telling you how to hurt the bad ones." In the same connection he referred to the position of Governor Roosevelt and Senator Hanna on tlw subject of trusts, and the reference o both instances was met with groans and hisses. "Mr. Hanna Bays there are no trusts," Mr. Bryan went on. "Are you going to send a man out to hunt the trusts who knows where every trust treasure is, but says there are no trusts?" In response to this last interrogation, a voice from the audience responded: "We will send you." Mr. Bryan again quoted from President McKlnley's inaugural address, on the subject of trusts, and charged that the President had neither enforced the existing anti-trust laws, nor recommended new ones. His attorney general, he said, draws his salary and permits the trusts to go on and oppress the people. Mr. Bryan referred to the Ice trust, declaring that apparently this was the only trust of which Republicans had any knowledge. "If a Republican tells you," he said, "that the ice trust is hurting the people, you tell him that you have so much confidence In the Republican Governor that you know that he would not be out West making speeches If the people were suffering from the ice trust." This remark was received with cheers. REMEDY FOR TRUSTS. Mr. Bryan outlined his remedy for trusts, which was to put on the free list every trust-made article and to require trust corporations to take out a license, and to undergo a strict scrutiny in all other States than those in which they were organized. He expressed conviction that we are approaching a period of Industrial despotism "where a few men will control each great branch of industry, when every person who buys finished products will buy at a trust price, where every person who furnishes raw material will furnish It at a trust price and where every man who works for wages will work for the wages lixed by the trust." Such a condition as this meant, he said, serfdom for the people, for a government for the people, by the people and for the people was Impossible under the reign of the trust. Mr. Bryan said he was not satisfied to stop extortion, but that he would make it Impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the United States. The declaration was met with cheers and cries of "Good I" "I do not believe." he said, "that God ever made a man good enough to stand at the head of a private monopoly and fix for its own profit the price of the necessaries of life." Dwelling upon his remedy for trusts, he said he would squeeze the water out of the stock. "There would be a flood for a while." he declared, "but there would be honest corporations afterward." Mr. Bryan then turned his attention to the Increase of the standing army, and when he asked if wc should have a large army In the United States there were several responses of "No!" "No!" from the audience. He declared that the President had made his request for an Increase of tho standing army from 25,f"K) to 10O.0"O two months before war broke out in the Philippine Islands. "Was It because,". he asked, "they knew there was to be war? "Was it because they knew imperialism and war and bloodshed would come, or did they want the army whether they had war or not?" A FALSEHOOD REPEATED. He declared that Republicans desired the standing army for both foreign and domestic reasons. "I believe," he said, repeating previous utterances, "that one of the reasons why they want a large army Is to build a fort in every large city and use the army to suppress by force that discontent that ought to be cured by legislation. If," he continued, "the increase of the army was intended to maintain an Imperial policy there could be no justification for It on that ground, because the

Icople had never voted for an Imperial policy." He asserted that this policy of Imperialism was the creation of the Republican party, and added: "They want the splendors of Europe. They want to hear the tramp of armies; they want the glory of crowning heroes returning home, their thanks and their plaudits. The Republicans want the drum to beat so that It could be heard around the world. We want the light of liberty to shine so brightly here that It will be seen around the world and everywhere Inspire people." In substantiation of his assertijn that the Democrats were not raising a scare crow Mr. Bryan referred to the Porto Klean legislation of the last session of Congress as proof of what people say. He declared that this legislation was based upon European ideas and not upon American principles. According to that document, he said, a President is bigger than the Constitution. And then Mr. Bryan exclaimed: "Beware, my friends, of a President when he becomes greater than the Constitution. There Is no place where you can draw th? line; It will become all President and no Constitution." Quoting the Republican platform as to the disposition to be made of the Filipinos, he said: "Who Is to decide their welfare? We. Who is to decide our duty? We. What has the Filipino to do with us? Nothing at all. They do not dare defend that plank, and I am afraid before this campaign is over that they will try to prove that it was not written by the Republican convention at all, but that it was put in there by some one who had no authority. He said his reason for expressing this opinion was the tact that the ratification of the peace treaty ha J been placed at his door. He then took up the question of his connection with the ratification of the treaty, and said that the Republicans could not find a senator who would say that he had voted for It because he (Mr. Bryan) had favored It, and continued: "But I can prove by Senator Wellington, a Republican, that without his vote it would not have been ratified, that he would not have voted for it but for tho fact that the President promised that the

Philippine islands would not be held permanently." Mr. Bryan then declared that he was willing to assume the respsonsibilites for the ratification of the treaty if the Republicans would take the responsibility tor the themselves and for what had happened since. "The President is responsible for that," he said, "and if he had given to the Filipinos the same assurance of independence that he gave to the Cubans not a gun would have been fired in Manila and these people would have been our friends to-day. WHY HE APPROVED THE TREATY.' Mr. Bryan then explained his reason for supporting the ratification of the treaty, saying that if it had been rejected the matter would still have been In the hands of the President, so far as this country was concerned; that he believed it better to ratify the treaty and leave Americans to deal with the Filipinos than to have the Spaniards deal with them. He declared that the treaty had not conferred upon the United States the title to the Philippines, and said: "We can now do what the Republican party ought to have done, and our platform declares that we shall do it. I have said that the first act of my administration will be to call Congress together and ask it to do now what it ought to have done a year and a half ago." This sentiment was applauded. Mr. Bryan referred to the charge that ho was responsible for the continuation of the war in the Philippine islands and said: "If 1 am guilty of this charge then who is responsible for the fact that our forefathers fought the same battle a hundred years before I was born. They should know," he continued, "that It was the Almighty who, when He gave life to the Filipino, gave him the love of liberty. They should know that it was God linked together In every human breast life and liberty, and what God hath jonied together let no Republican party rend asunder." Colonel Bryan accused the Republican party of a desire to evade the Philippine question and said that that party was so sordid that it desired to put the dollar above the man and make money more precious than human life. If we had any title to the Filipino it was a title based on force and such a title was not good according to American ideas. The Filipinos were not desired by any one as citizens and the Democrats did not intend that they should be made subjects. Therefore, he continued, let them stand under their own flag and have their own government and be masters of themselves and work out their own destiny. Mr. Bryan declared that if a Republican President could haul down the flag in Cuba, 200 miles from our shores, a Democratic President could haul It down 7,000 miles away from our shores. In closing he said that instead of desiring a nation ever ready to resort to force he wanted it to be a peacemaker among the nations. 'Then," he said, "we can claim the reward promised to the peacemakers, and say 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.' " Mr. Bryan concluded his speech at 9 o'clock precisely, having spoken one hour and fifty-one minutes. The crowd rose and cheered as he left the platform In company with Mr. Croker, shaking hands as he left. Tho applause for Mr. Bryan as he went away blended with that for Adlai E. Stevenson as he arose to speak. T,he cheers died out and tho noise of the crowd getting out prevented Mr. Stevenson from speaking. He finally secured a hearing, but there were few people left In the hall. Webster Davis was the next speaker. At the conclusion of his speech Mayor Jones, of Toledo, was Introduced and he was heartily cheered. The other speakers were John B. Stanchfield and W. F. Mackay. When the latter concluded the band struck up "Dixie" and the small remaining portion of the throng that had gathered in the garden early in the evening filed out. MOB AT OPEN AIR STAND. Xo One Permitted to Speak bat Bryan, Who Prattled Tammany. The crowd then surged about the openair stand at Madison avenue and Twentyfourth street, crushing the weak and almost smothering those who were so tightly packed in that air, which, reeked with the fumea of Greek fire, could not rcacn them. The crowd may have numbered 20,000, and there was not oho in that throng who cared to hear any one else but Bryan. Half a dozen speakers attempted to keep them quiet until the presidential candidate came from the Garden, but the most suecessful speaker had a hard job of it. Those who had points of vantage on the stand did little to encourage the speakers, for their interest was taken up by the wave of humanity in front and on all sides of the stand. Commissioner Keller presided. Representative John M. Quinn started to speak, but gave It up in disgust. He had not fairly begun when the ba'nd started in to play. August T. Doherty, Assistant District Attorney Osborne, James Lindsay Gordon, James Hamilton Lewis, S. 1). Cavanagh and others tried to speak, but the crowd gave them small chance. It was shortly after D oclock when the cavalcade heading the Bryan party rode down Madison avenue to the stand. The carriages could not drive within fifty feet of it. and Mr. Bryan. Mr. Croker and Mr. Hearst and James Shevlln, of Brooklyn, who were In the carriage, walked to the stand. The ovation to the candidate was deafenlngly loud and prolonged. After shaking hands with Mr. Keller and tho.2 on the stand who could stretch t;elr. hands to him, Mr. Bryan stood facing the crowd In front of the stand. He uncovered his head, but the bombs were exploding In the air overhead, and the fire from one almost struck him. Bryan drew away as If to dodge it. The band was still playfng "Hail to the Chief" when Mr. Bryan outstretched his hand to tho audience to command Quiet. He said: "Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen I have been talking indoors until I am wann, and I am afraid to expose myself In the open air. You can read In the morning papers what I have said, but I have said enough, and you have read enough to know the issues and my opinion in relation to them. "We want to make this government what the fathers intended to make of it, and give equal rights to all and especial privileges to none. If, by your suffrage, I am made President, I will not try to get our hands in other people's pockets. I shall be satisfied to keep other people's hands out of your pockets. If you believe a trust a good thing, vote the Republican ticket, and get all you want of it. If you believe trusts are bad. vote our ticket. If you believe In a large army, vote the Republican ticket and get it. If you believe In a small army, we promise you that you shall have a "email army and a government so good that every citizen will b willing to become a soldier to preserv tho government to posterity.

If you want Imperialism, vote the Republican ticket. If our party Is Intrusted with power, we will say to the Filipino and all the world that our purpose Is not to govern the Filipino, but establish a government for them that will be theirs and not ours. We will say to the world. Hands onV Let that republic live and work out Its own de?tlny." The minute Mr. Bryan stopped speaking. Mr. Croker took his arm and led him to the rear of the stand to see the crowd assembled there. He waved his hat to them, and Mr. Croker asked him: "Did you ever see anyfhing like it?" "Wonderful, wonderful," Mr. Bryan said. Then the party, after handshakings all around, left the stand, and got into the carriages. IX TA3I3IAXY HALL.

Sir. Bryan Eulogizes Crokcr's TaxEntlntf, Vice-Protectlntff Society. The trip to Tammany Hall was made through streets lined with cheering thousands. Mr. Bryan and his party arrived at 9:25. Senator Mackey was speaking, but as soon as the crowd recognized Bryan it rose to its feet and cheered for several minutes. Richard Croker, who accompanied Mr. Bryan, took a seat on the rear of the platform, while the candidate went to the front and acknowledged the greeting. When the cheering had continued for a couple of minutes he raised his hand to command silence. As soon as he was able to speak he began: "Mr. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen I hope you will excuse my appearance. I have been trying to talk to all the people of New York, and I am afraid that I show the effects of the exertion. But I am here for a moment to express my appreciation of the work that Is being done in this campaign by this great Tammany organization. I heard of Tammany Hall before Tammany Hall ever heard of me. I came here several years ago on the Fourth of July, and I was pleased to know that this society made It a rule to celebrate the anniversary of the Nation's birth. One hundred and twenty-four years ago, on the Fourth of July, this Nation gave to the world the grandest document ever drafted by human man. On the 4th day of July last the Queen of England celebrated tho anniversary of our Nation's birthday by issuing an order for the overthrow of two republics. What a change in 121 years. For 124 years or more the Republican party observed the Fourth of July, but the Republican party this year was not alarmed when our Nation's birthday anniversary was used for the signing of the death warrant of two republics. "What advantage" did you ever hear claimed for an imperial policy? First, that there is money in It. Second, that God is in it. Third, that we are in it and can't get out of it. The man who says there is money In it must be prepared to tell us what human life is worth; but can any man living tell the value of a human brain or a human heart full of love for its fellow-men? Measure if you can the influence of the great soul dedicated to the uplifting of his fellow-men, and yet the Republican party, in defending imperialism on the ground that it can be made to pay, must be prepared to tell us the value of the two thousand men whose bodies floated back to us across the ocean. I would not put an American boy on the auction block and sell him for all the trade of the Orient. When you hear a Republican speculating on the trade value of a human life, tell him to buy it with his own blood, and not with that of other people. Our forefathers prayed .to God for guidance in the struggle to maintain the principle of no taxation, without representation. It was the same God we have now as then, the same God as yesterday, to-day and forever. Is It not worse than mockery to pray to the same God for victory over people who fight for the same principle, taxation without representation, for which our forefathers fought and died? "Who says we cannot get out? Those who put us in? They do not want us to get out. I denounce this cowardly excuse that would make a chicken thief out of every man who could reach a hen roost. There has not been an hour In twenty years that we could not have taken Canada had we wanted to. Or Mexico, or the South or Central American republics. But we have not wanted to and to-day we are in no position to take the Philippine islands that we have been in the past to take those nations. Let this Nation declare that it Is not going to conquer the Philippines and then say to other nations Thou shalt not. Then if any European nation should provoke war with us to get the Philippine islands, this Nation would be In a position to stand before the world as the exponent ct the doctrine of self-government, and no king would dare oppose her. This Nation has already lost a great opportunity. What an opportunity for us to show the difference between our ideals and those of Europe. They say that others will laugh at us. Let them laugh. People laughed at our forefathers when the Declaration of Independence was given to tho world. Let emperors laugh and those laugh who despise the people, but let this Nation stand erect, and a struggling people will raise their eyes to heaven and thank God that there is one republic left." Tammany Hall had been crowded to repletion from 6 o'clock on, and to fill up the time before the arrival of Mr. Bryan a number of others had spoken. AT COOPGIt UXIOX. 31 r. Bryan Says "Great Is Tammany and Croker as Its Prophet. At 10 o'clock Mr. Bryan arrived at Cooper Union. His appearance on the platform was the signal for one of the most enthusiastic greetings ever accorded to any one man In Cooper Union. It was fully five minutes before the enthusiasm subsided and the audience resumed Its normal quietude. Then John Dewltt Warner, chairman of the meeting, introduced Mr. Bryan, who spoke, in part, as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen This Is the fourth meeting for to-night that I have spoken at. It concludes the ratification held under the auspices of the Democratic party In this city and county, and I am prepared to say that great la Tammany and Croker as its prophet. If I were to try to prove that I am as big a man as tho chairman of the meeting would have you believe I am, I could not do that. I rejoice that I have lived in the land where the people can choose a man for their leader and make of him their servant, and when they do that he becomes the greatest man in the world. Yet, we can never forget that ho is their servant, acting for them as their representative. He is the instrument by which they accomplish their sovereign will." It was 10:30 o'clock when Mr. Bryan and his party came out of Cooper Union. The crowd seemed to go crazy. It was the most dangerous outlook of the evening and it seemed as if scores were to be trampled under foot. Repeatedly the police charged to get Mr. Bryan's carriage through, but every time the crowd fame back. Night sticks were finally drawn and a lane opened long enough to let the Bryan carriage into Irvin place. Through that street it went on the dash and up Broadway. Several hundred persons ran In pursuit and kept right after the carriage and escort to Union Square, while hundreds were on the curb. Toward Madison Square the crowd tired and most of them dropped out, but an Immense ciowd was In front of the Hoffman House to meet Mr. Bryan when he got out of his carriage. He was taken to his suite at once. There he received the national and state and local committees and was finally turned over to Chairman Frank Campbell, of the State committee, for his four day trip which will bepin to-morrow through this State. After consulting with. Mr. Campbell it was announced that Mr. Bryan's party will leave the Hoffman House at 8:li a. m. He will go direct to the Grand Central depot. COST 912 A PLATC. Ice Trust C'roker's Dinner to William Jennings lirynn. NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-The dinner tendered Mr. Bryan at the Hoffman House at 5:30 o'clock this afternoon was not held in the Moorish room, as at first intended, but in the Salon Louis Quinze. Fifty covers were laid, an increase from what was first intended. The room was beautifully decorated with laurel leaves, palm and evergreens. Mr. Bryan's portrait, framed in a silk American flag, was just behind the chair reserved for . Mayor Van Wyck, the presiding officer. It was discovered during the afternoon that the decorator had, in arranging the portrait ct Mr. Bryan, Intertwined the Filipino and

TT"American colors about the picture. This was believed to be an error, and at dinnertime the colors of Agulnaldo were conspicuously absent. Fifteen persons sat at the table reserved for the guest of honor and more distinguished persons. The remaining guests sat at smaller tables. All the tables were decorated with flowers, roses predominating. The service was the best the house could provide. linens of the most costly sort, the heaviest plate, cut glass and the best of china. Although Mr. Bryan did not drink his wine, glasses were provided just as for the other guests. Mayor Van Wyck sat in an Inlaid chair brought from Arabia.

"Men of Ohio, if old Anthony Wayne had waited until he got the consent of the Indians before he fought the battle of Fallen Timbers, Ohio would be an Indian hunting ground to-day. There were anti-imperialists in those days who did not wish to see it settled, but now Thomas Jefferson, when he closed the Louisiana purchase and afterward issued this order to the general in command, to the man corresponding to MacArthur or Lawton in the Philippines, General Clarke: 'In case peaceable possession Is refused, then force must be used,' not force with the consent of the governedforce, 'and if the inhabitants are armed and brought in opposition to us then force must be used.' This is in a letter of Sept. 14, 1S03; I condense the quotation; and here is his idea of the way in which it is best to give liberty and self-government to countries that have not had it. You will find this on Page 107, Volume 10, of Jefferson's works: I think it would be better for these peoples to obtain freedom by degrees only, because that would, by degrees, bring light and information and qualify them to take charge of themselves understandlngly, with more certainty, if In the meantime under so much control as maykeep them at peace with one another.' Now, gentlemen, you could not better describe than in these words of Jefferson just exactly what, under President McKinley, is the policy we are pursuing in the Philippines. "Read the solemn dying testament of Lawton. General Lawton, he whom I saw facing death to win victory for the flagdown before Santiago. He who was all that an American officer should be out in the Philippines. Before he was slain by a Filipino bullet he spoke as follows: 'If I am shot by a Filipino bullet, it might as well come from one of my own men, because I know from my own observations, confirmed by captured prisoners, that the continuance cf fighting is chiefly due to assurance sent from America.'

Throngs Addressed at Hamilton, Dayton and Springfield. COLUMBUS, O., Oct. IS. Governor Roosevelt was given an ovation during his trip through Ohio to-day. Large crowds greeted him at all stopping places. Governor Roosevelt made his first speech this morning at Hamilton. The speaker's stand was a block from the train, and thither the New Yorker was escorted by Governor Nash, Food Commissioner Blackburn, L. C. Laylln, candidate for secretary of state, and others. Here, too, tho Rough Rider renewed his appearance, and a band headed the parade. A feature of the programme was the presence on the platform of the mother of Captain Huston, of Oklahoma. Captain Huston was an officer in Colonel Roosevelt's regiment during the war with Spain, and on the breaking out of the trouble in the Philippines, he went thither, where he died. Governor Roosevelt shook hands with Mrs. Huston, and escorted her to a seat at his side. "I recall, your noble son," he said, "and knew him well as a bravo man and soldier." "Yes, Governor," was the reply, "I gave one son to my country, and would give another if I were blessed with one." Captain Huston's body was brought home from the Islands, and is burled in Hamilton. Dayton did its utmost to do honor to Governor Roosevelt, who arrived there at 11 o'clcrck a. m. There was a public reception at the Beckel Hotel, and afterward the Governor wa3 escorted in a parade to the fair grounds, where he addressed a large crowd, which was so enthusiastic that the Governor had difficulty in making himself heard. Stops had been made at Middletown and Miamisburg, where the Governor spoke to v large audiences, at the latter place using the front porch of the Miami Steel Company's main office as a platform. In his speech at Dayton, Governor Roosevelt said: "You have had four of the most prosperous years in your history. Here in Dayton, the six largest factories in your city have handed me an abstract of the increase in their business. Their increase in the amount of wages paid during, theso four years, and the increase in business have been at about the rate of 140 per cent, on the average, ' and they pnid in wages amounts varying from 4S per cent, increase to 216 per cent. Increase, the average Increase in wages for the six factories being 92 per cent. Now, let the business man and the wage worker compare that with Mr. Bryan's prophecies. Cheers. "I have driven out to-day, and in the carriages came men like Generals Wood and Sickles Sickles of my own State, a man who has been a Democrat, who was a Democratic sheriff of New York county, but he waß such a good one that Tammany did not altogether like him Applause; a man who has served his country in war and In peace, but who ceased to be identified with the Democracy when the Democracy went after false gods, when it identified itself at home with the cause of dishonest money and disorder and anarchy, and abroad with the dishonor of the flag. Applause. "Before you discuss differences of policy between great parties you ought to know that the parties really stand for the policies they represent. In other words, the first thing to demand is whether the party or the party leader is sincere. Mr. Bryan has Just been through your State. The other day he put ten questions. I answered everyone the day after. Applause. He cannot ask a question that I will not answer, nor can he raise an Issue on which I will not meet him Applause, because we are fortunate enough to know where we stand. We are fortunate enough in having issues that don't wear thin anywhere in the country. I asked Mr. Bryan four questions in return for the ten I have answered and he won't answer one. Applause. "Mr. Bryan has just moved into my own State, to try to help that apostle at political purity, the Hon.

Will Mr. Bryan denounce the hypocrisy of Mr. Croker and Mr. Van Wyck? At the Kansas City convention Mr. Van Wyck was one of those who drew up the anti-trust plank of the platform, for he waa on the committee on resolutions. Will he denounce these men for that hypocrisy in assailing trusts in public when in their privat capacity they are among ths largest

As the train approached the city every factory whistle screamed a salute. The platform was within a hundred feet of the train and on it with the Governor were all the leading Republicans of that part of the State. Prosperity constituted the burden of the Governor's speech, which was applauded loudly. The train stopped there nearly an hour, and then at Yellow Springs, Xenla, South Charleston and London. SUICIDE OF T. N. LANE SOX-IX-LAW OF SENATOR J. C. S. DLACKBinX SHOOTS 1ID1SELF. Fires Fntnl Shot In the Presence of Little Dansrhter His Wife's Narrow Escape Three Years Ago. WASHINGTON. Oct. 16. Thomas N. Lane, son-in-law of Senator Blackburn, committed suicide at his home here last night. Mr. Lane entered the home about 11 p. m., and shot himself in the presence of his little daughter, while his wife was resting on a couch in an adjoining room. Death was almost instantaneous. Mr. Lane was the American representative of the London ordnance firm of Vickers Sons & Maxim. He was well-to-do. prominently connected and a familiar figure in Washington society. It is said he was driven to the act by brooding over his ill health. He was told some time ago that he had Brlghfs disease and he allowed the matter to prey on his mind. His wife, who was Lucille Blackburn, had a narrow escape from death by a pistol wound about three years ago. The Lanes were then living at the Hotel Wellington. Mr. Lane was out of town much of the time and Mrs. Lane kept a loaded revolver in a bureau drawer. One night she was found in her room with a bullet hole in her breast and it was explained by the family that in taking some laces from the drawer the pistol had been lifted up and fell on the hammer discharging the weapon. Sho lingered between life and death, but ultimately recovered. The fehock of last night's tragedy completely prostrated her and she is now under the constant care of a physician. Senator Blackburn was in Hagerstown, Ind., last night when the news of the suicide reached him. He had been on a campaign tour of the State. He left as soon as possible for Washington, and it is likely that the occurrence will force him to abandon further active work In the campaign. Thomas Lane waa a native of New Hampshire, but his parents moved to Summit, N. J., when he was a boy and he spent many years there. He was well known in Louisville, Ky where he met Miss Blackburn. On moving to Washington Fome years ago he held a position as chief of one of the bureaus in the Treasury Department, resigning to take up the work of the Vickcrs-Maxlm firm here. TRYING A DEAD MAN.

"He is already in court," said the Judpre. "We want him on the witness stand," said Colonel Nelson. "Very well. Bring him in. Mr. SherifT. and put him on the stand." said the judge. The deputies and guards brought Youtsey in on his bed and set it down In front of the Jury. Colonel Nelson asked Youtsey several questions, but got no sort of response, the defendant lying as one dead on his bed. "We can get no response from the witness." said Colonel Nelson. "Very well, let him stand." nald the judge, and the bed was carried back to the jury room. Colonel Nelson made another motion to discharge the jury, because the defendant was not really In court facing his accusers, but simply an unconwelou body.
