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

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.
Bryan was aboard the lllini which was
anchored off Stapleton this morning and

husbanded all his strength fr his two
hours speech to night. 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." Tht
terror of the world had not heard of the
Cuban inspection until today and ax-
pressed confidence in President Palma.
WANTED SAME OLD BRYAN ;
Tom Johnson fearing that Mr. Brvan
would read his speach tonight told him to
day that "we don't want any reading to
night, we want the same old Bryan, of
old". Mrs. Bryan replied "He will not
read if I can help it and I think I can".
New York Aug. 30 The crowd at the
Battery to see W- J. Bryan land is far
greater than expectations. Governor Folk
at the head of the reception commitee
met the voyager at the pier. Members
of the national committee in carriages
fell. into the line of procession at the warf.
Mr. Bryan Is slightly indisposed, suffering
from nervousness of which he complained
of, to his friends as he land. He was
driven hastily to the Victoria hotel where
an effort restore to good feeling will be
made.
