OEEKERS IS Of FENDER mm MULTITUDES TO New York, Aug., 30 The eyes of the Democratic party of United States are upon New York today, in expection of landing of William Jennings Bryan after his tour of the world. For many weeks the preparations for the great events planned in connection with the arrival o the Democratic leader were going on and now everything is in readiness. Many thousands of Democrats, among them many of the most ' prominent Democrats, who will do honor to Bryan and attend the monster recep tion which will be held at Madison Square Garden this evening. New York WW.UWU W4M1 UWt,l ftUbUIIMJUA- tions and it does not happen very often that the influx of transient visitors are so great that the hotels are overtaxed. So enormous has been tha influx of Democ-ats from all parts of the United States during the last few days that, for the first time in many years, the hotels are overcrowded. The whole city is on tiptoes of expecta tion and, it is stated o : good authority, that nearly everbody will turn out this afternoon to line up on Broadway when William Jennings Bryans. escorted by the reception committee, nearly one thousand strong, to take his triumphal ride up that thoroughfare to his hotel. No attempt has been made to decorate the buildings along the line of the parade, b"t there will be enough people along 3 road way, when the parade passes through, to sat isfy even the most exacting traveler. In accordance with the wishes of Mr. Bryan the committee in charge of the arrangements for the big reception at Madison Square Garden has been very economical in de orating the enormous hall. Only the platform and the speakers stand have been declared in the n ationa colors. Otherwise the big hall is unadorn ed. The hall will afford seats for about 7,000 people and standing room for about 5,000 more. Nearly every seat is reserved and it is expected that the enormous hall will be packed from one end to the other. The program for the reception at Mad ison Square Garden is quits simple. Be fore the meeting is opened, the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House will play several salections. Upon the arrival of Mr. Bryan, the meeting will be called to order by Mr. Henry W. Walker, of the committee on addresses. He will intro duce Governor Folk of Missouri, who, in turn, will introduce Mayor Tom L. John son, of Cleveland, selected to preside over the meeting. Mayor Johnson will speak a few words before introducing Mr. Augus tus Thomas, the well known politician and playwright, who will deliver the address of welcome to which the guest of the evening will respond. The address of Mr. Thomas will bsof an eulogistic nature, while the response of Mr. Bryan, it is ex pected, will contain a resume of the pres ent political situation and will sound the keynote of the coming Presidential cam paign. Tne address will undoubtedly form the basis of the Democratic campaign lit erature at the coming campaign and is awaited with intense interest throughout the country.

He felt fine this morning and thanked Roosevelt for his efforts to facilitatejiis landing. Every minute of Bryan's tims has been filled from the time of landing until to morrow morning. It is thought thsre will be only a few carriages left in the parade but there will be at least seven. The Nebraska mayor says that he will be in parade legardless of the New Yorker's desire to prsvent. Everybody from every where wants to dine with the tourists and the committees will make many enemiee in selecting the guests. While aooard me sieamnouseooai i.3u- den, newspaper men cornered Bryan and he talked for over an hour. He refused to discuss personal or politics and said that, he is keeping out of state fights, will attend to the Sullvan question later. He also refused to discuss the tat iff because the subject was too big for a few words. When asked about tht Cannon boom hi said, "Cannon is both political and personal, excuse me."
