Call and GUEST OF TAMMANY Bryan Spoke Last Njght in New York. MADISON-SQUARE GARDEN PACKED Great Cariosity to See the Nominee Stevenson Given -a Chilly Re- , ccption. NEW TORK, Oct. 16 Mr. Bryan arrived in this city at 2:55 o'clock today. His re ception was an emphatic ovation. As the train -steamed into the annejp of the Grand Central station that part of the immense building was thronged with a multitude. Mr. Bryan was driven to the Hoffman House in an open carriage, In which he sat next to Richard Croker, and with uncovered head bowed and smiled to the -thousands who cheered him. Forty-sec-, ond street presented an animated scene. From Lexington avenue on one side to Sixth avenue" on the other, the sidewalks were lined with the populace. About 2 o'clock. Captain Price, at the Grand Central station, began to take active measures to open a passageway for the Tammany Hall Teceptlon commit tee to the station. A squad of ,20 mounted policemen cleared Forty-second street, and 60 more policemen, under Captain Price, marched to the annex and estab lished police lines, beyond which the curi ous could not go. At 2:35 o'clock a loud cheer went up, and the open carriages containing the Tammany Hall reception committee rode to the annex. William R. Hearst led the way, followed by Richard Croker, O. H. P. Belmont, President of the Borough; James J. Coogan, James Shevlin, Lewis Nixon, Lawrence Delmour and about a dozen others. Three cheers for Croker were given. As the time approached for the arrival of the train, the reception committee started to move further and .further along the track. At this point, the police lines were made ineffectual by a regular foot ball rush. While the reception committee was waiting, every possible inch of space on stairs, at windows, platforms and on the big iron bridges crossing the sta tion was occupied. The narrow passage way along the tracks was a mass of peo ple 'When the engine of "the Bran train blew its warning whistle. Then came the mad scramble to reach the jear car of . the train, in which Mr. Bryan was sup posed to be. Mr. Croker, Mr. Hearst and the other members of the reception com mittee tried to walk In a dignified man ner toward the 'train to greet the Presi dential candidate, but" the crowd was too great They were .pushed and shoved and hustled along until they had almost to break into a run before they could swing themselves onto the rear platform and give Colonel Bryan greeting. Meanwhile the crowd had worked itself up to what it considered a proper degree of enthusiasm. It cheered and hallooed as Mr. 3ryan stepped lout on the plat form. Then, escorted by Richard Croker end ha.commlttee. Jie. .began the Journey- towara tne street. A number or people grasped Mr, Bryan's hands The candi date, smiled" good-naturedly thrqiigh it all, in spite of the fact that both he and Mr. Croker were being rather roughly jostled about. Aa ,he entered the open carriage and took his seat, Mr. Bryan took off his hat and smiled and bowed on every side. 'Richard Croker sat next ta him, while, Mr. Hearst and Mr. Shevlin occupied the other two seats in the car riage. ""It took 'some time to clear a passage way to Forty-second street, but It was finally managed, and then the carriages In which ,were the receptlo'n committee start ed for the Hoffman House. The party drove through Forty-second street to Fifth avenue, and then down to the Hoff man House. Mr. Bryan reached the Hoff man House at 3:20 P. M. All the way down Fifth avenue he was cheered by the crowd that lined the thoroughfare. The demonstration, as Mr. Bryan left his car riage and entered the Twenty-sixth-street entrance of the hotel, was a repetition of that "along the line. Mr. Bryan at" once went to his rooms. " A few minutes later he received a dele gation from the St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, North Fifth street. Brooklyn. Rev. Augustus Sommers, the pastor, pre sented him a gold-headed cane, which had been won by Mr. Bryan receiving the largest number of votes at a fair held by the church. He made a speech of thanks and then retired to rest before the ban quet At Madison-Square Garden. For hours before the time for the opening of the doors, 5:30 P. M., Madison Square Garden, where Mr. Bryan and the head of the state ticket, John B Stanch field, spoke, was besieged by crowds. Throngs gathered and massed before the two main entrances of the building on Fourth and Madison avenue, as early as 2 o'clock, hoping to get in when the doors were first opened. At 4 o'clock, at least 1000 people were in the amphitheater, hay ing gained admission on tickets which had been distributed and which yere given precedence over box-seat tickets. About 200 men from the different city depart ments were, on hand to act as ushers, and at 5 o'clock the police details arrived. Deputy Chief .Cartrlght, with nearly a score of Captains and a corresponding number of Sergeants and roundsmen, was in charge. In the half hour preceding the opening or. tne doors the policemen marched and countermarched about the Garden, the crowd cheering. The pollce men wore their dress-coat uniforms and white gloves. At 5:30 o'clock to the minute the sound of exploding bombs outside the Garden announced the opening of the doors. In stantly there was a great rush by the people from the Madison-avenue hallway and from the Twenty-slxth-street en trance, which according to police arrange ments, Tvere to be kept clear for ticket holders. In' the first rush were a few women, who got near the speaker's stand. In less than 10 minutes every seat on the floor was taken, and the crowd, which had begun to pour In. from all sides, at tacked, thfe galleries. Five minutes later 6aw the balcony, and a part of the gal leries' black with people. The rush was then over, but there camo a steady stream through the principal doors, and all empty seats were soon filled. The crowd did not appear at first to be demonstrative. When the lights were all turned on there came a brief cheer. The big semicircle electric display over the speaker's stand bore the portraits of the two Democratic candidates, the Demo cratic emblem and the Democratic watch word, credited to Mr. Croker, "We wish to remain free people," in great letters of light. Then the band struck up a Na tional air, and as, the people recognized "Yankee Doodle'-, they got up In their seats with uncovered heads, and as they waved 'thousands of small American flags ishoutediout the words of the song. The Garden was decorated In the Na tional colors only. Streamers radiated from the center of the roof, underneath the ekyllght, to the heads of the iron pil lars over the gallerieB, and fegtoonB ofj flags with the colors of the different states lined the galleries. The speaker's stand was draped simply with American flags and red, white and blue buntings At 6:30 o'clock the only seats remaining vacant in the entire Garden was an oc casional bo,, the tickets for which re mained good until 7 o'clock. The crowd was orderly, and frequent performances by the band brought out enthusiasm. The arrival of prominent Tammany men be fore the opening of the meeting brought out the first strong applause of the even ing. As 7 o'clock approached, the hour when Bryan was expected to arrive, the crowd began to warm up. The Garden was Jammed, but the police kept the aisles fairly "well cleared, and back from the gallery seats there was not an inch of available space. Wlien 'Bryan Appeared. Mr. Bryan entered the Garden at 7:15 o'clock. As the face of Mr. Croker, behind which appeared Mr. Bryan's, was seen, the crowd' burst forth Jn one great pro longed yell. Every one stood tip-too on his seat and the Garden was a sea of wavlng flags. As Mr. Bryan, escorted by Mr. Croker, mounted the speaker'a stand, the cheering was continuous. The two climbed the stairs 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, as they mounted' the platform, Mayor "Van Wyck escorted Edward M. SHepard, who acted as chair man of the 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 hands. Mr. Croker pulled him back into his seat. The qheering went on. Mr. Croker arose, hesitated a moment, then raised his. hand for silence. Instead of ceasing, the crowd broke forth louder than fiver. DoHat he could, Mr. Croker could not silenceje crowd. After nearly 15 mlnut&'of cheering the applause began to decrease. Mingled cheers and hisses, the latter for silence, lasted a minute longer A call for three cheers for f'our next President" brought out a final cheer, but an effort tp repeat It was drowned in cries of "Put him out" The 'enthusiasm nearly carried the crowd away. The throng at thc;Madlson-avenue end of the Garden Jammed down the aisle, and Jhe 60-odd policemen at tfyo-t point had to do battle with the crowd o keep it under control. p When quiet was restored, Mr. Croker rose, took Mr. Shepard W the hand, and introduced him to the audience as chair man of the meeting. BeYqre'Mr. Shepard could get Into "the subject of "Imperial ism," to which most of his, address was devoted, the crowd got so impatient to hear Mr. Bryan that Mr Shepard could not proceed. He suddenly stopped and introduced President Guggenhelmer, of the Council, who offered the formal reso lutions of the evening. These welcomed Mr. Bryan and Mr. Stevenson; to New York, approved the Kansas City plat form, 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, de nounced trusts, pledged the party to bring ,acjt, toa4faa-eptewCpsilt8UonG0V'-s' eminent, ana cnargea tne JttepuoucanB jwlth- having raised a gigantic corruption fund. to debauch the .suffrage. These reso lutions were cheered, though they could not be heard for the shouts for' Bryan, and Mr. Shepard at once introduced, the latter in a few short sentences. Mr. Bryan; stepped to the rolling about the stand as the throng broke out afresh into cheers. - He raised his hand for si lence, but the cheers did not subside.' Mr. Bryan was dressed simply In a black suit twlth a short sack coat "Three cheers for our ..next President" came up from the audience, Mr. Bryan raisins his hand in deprecatlbn. The crowd was about to become quiet, when, with a boom and a flesh of fire, a flashlight 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 flred the bomb, grabbed him and hustled him and his camera out into the aisle and but of the Garden. Mr. Bryan had stood quietly at the rail on the platform. There -was another at tempt to renew the cheering, but hisses greeted it and Colonel Eryan commenced speaking. ' Bryan's Speech. Mr. Bryan began- by referring- to the vast audience before him, and said that it Indicated an interest in the campaign which must be gratifying to all who real ized the Importance of the questions in volved. He Immediately entered upon 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 be uttered without the one who ut tered it knew it to be false. We are not opposed to that wealth which corner as the reward of honest toll and Is enjoyed by those who give to society something in return for that which society bestows upon th6m. The Democratic party today is not only not the. enemy of honest wealth, but the Democratic party of to day Is the best friend of that wealth which presents- ability of muscle or of mind employed in its accumulation." ' Mr. Bryan went on, to say that the par ty draws the lino between honest wealth and predatory wealth, "between that wealth which is a Just .compensation for services rendered and that wealth which simply measures the advantages wh'ch some citizen has taken over many citi zens." He declared that no honest Industry, no honest occupation, no honest man, need fear the siiccess of the Democratic par ty. ' The Democratic party, he said, "showed Its honesty by stating what it believed and telling the people what it will do." Taking up1 the Republican declaration of principles, Mr. Bryan sold that the party is not prepared today tov make a fight on any question before the coun try. , "And," he continued, "If you want proof, let me remind you that. the Re publican party today, Instead of presentr lng 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 va rious classes to which he said the Re publicans were making specious appeals, and he Included in the list the farmer, the laborer, etc. "It gives the laborer," he said, "the as surance he will have a full dinner pall, and then it 'assures him there w 11 be a large Army to make him satisfied with his full dinner pail." He" declared that the prosperity of which the Republican party boasts Is a different thing in different "localities. In the East, he said, they tell you how prosperous the farmer out West Is and In the West you hear of the high wages and general employment- of the laboring men throughout the 4 East Referring to (Concluded on" Second Faf" ROOSEVELT IN OHIO Large Audiences Greeted Him at All Points. SPOKE LAST NIGHT IN COLUMBUS Bryan's Attitude on the Philippine Question "Was Severely Criticised Twenty-seven Speeches in Ohio. , COLUMBUS, O., Oct. IS. Not since the great Blaine demonstration in 1SS6 has this city been so crowded with visitors as It is tonight, the occasion of the ap pearance here of Governor Roosevelt. Ev ery hoteliifjfull and hundreds of thosa RICHARD This Is a plcttn-o of Mr. Bryan's host in New York. Richard Croker is Bryan's most po tent lieutenant, and, If the Democrats win. Is to control the Federal patronage ln New York,'1 and to name at least one Cabinet officer. He Is the head of TamroanysHah, the most corrupt political organization in .the world. The current number of Harper's "Weekly contains a lonr artlole by Franklin Matthews on ""The Cost of Tammany Hall In Flesh and Blood." It describes the entire machinery of the organization. One paragraph devoted to the "wide open town" describes its quality: "Meanwhile, the assessment of gamblers In hundreds of places continued, the polico collected the weekly and monthly tribute from, places that were protected, the woman that walked the streets at night gave-up -her money before and afUr midnight" saloonkeepers paid to .sell openly in prohibitive hours, dens' ot infamy flaunted their signs brazenly before all men, decent people were stopped on the streets and asked If they didn't Want to,gamblefland Tammany was happy. Every dollar that rolled In made her stronger In the politics of the city, of the state, of the Nation." This Is .the organization of which Richard Croker is chief, and which is using all its Influence to compass Mr. Bryan's election. . V who camo to see 'or hear the 'Governor are being cared fbr at the homes of resi dents of Columbus.' Ten speeches, made to large audiences, since, leaving Cincin nati at 8 o'clock this morning had not' im paired the Governor's vocal organs, nor did he show any evidence of fatigue when he was Introduced at the Auditorium at 9:30 P. M.' An Impatient throng had been awaiting him nearly itwo1 hours. ' The Roosevelt special arrived here at 7:30, and for two hours the Governor rode in a brilliantly illuminated electric car in -a great parade, which traversed High and other principal streets 'of the city. The parade was more than two hours In pass ing a given point, and its course was marked by a blaze of colored fire, rockets, firing of cannon and bursting of bombs. When he strode across the platform the Governor was greeted with a'roar of' ap plause. Yet he looked ''upon a,'.smaller number of person3,thanjcdmpose'd. the crowd that had been unable toTfind,stan' ing room In the bulldlnsr.' When Governor Roosevelt rose to speak he was given 6uch an enthusiastic greeting that?for five minutes he could not 'make his voice heard In his endeavor to restore order. Governor Roosevelt severely criticised Mr. Bryan's attitude on the Philippine question, and reviewed the hlstor of Agulnaldo, pronouncing it "a carejsr' of infamy." He quoted from PresidentJef ferson'3 Instructions to the commander of the American armies which took pos session of the Louisiana purchase to show that the consent of the governed was not considered. The Governor will leave ColumbU3 to morrow morning at 7:30 over the Hocking Valley Railroad for his second day In Ohio. Tomorrow night he will speak in Cleveland, and at noon Thursday he will arrive In Wheeling. "W. Va., having made 27 speeches In, Ohio. . At Hamilton. HAMILTON, O.. Oct 16. At this .place. 25 miles, from Cincinnati, Governor Roose velt made the first stop today on his tour of Ohio, speaking to a large crowd. The Governor was escorted by Governor Nash to the speaker's stand. A feature of the meeting was the pres mwr nn the nfatform of the mother of Captain Huston, of Oklahoma. Captain Huston was an officer in uoionei Koose velt's regiment in the war with Spain, and on the breaking out of the trouble In the FhlHpplftes he went thither, where he died. Governor Roosevelt escorted Mrs. Huston to the platform. "I recall your noble son," he said, "and knew him well as a brave man and sol dier." "Yes, Governor," was the reply, "I gave my son to my country, and would give another if I were blessed with one." Captain Huston's body Is buried here. At Dayton. DAYTON, O., Oct 16 When Governor Roosevelt arrived in Dayton he was ten dered a public reception at a hotel, and later escorted by a parade to the fair grounds, where he addressed a large crowd. Stops had been made at Middle town and Miamlsburg, where the Gov ernor spoke to large audiences. In his speech at Dayton ' Governor Roosevelt said: v "You have had .four of the most pros perous 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. The increase in the amount of wages paid during these four years and the increase In business has been at about the rate of 140 per cent on tne average, and the pay in wages amounts from 48 per cent increase to 21S per cent Increase, the average increase in waces for the six factories being 92 per cent Now let the business man and the wageworker compare that with Mr, Bryan's prophecies. "I have driven out today and in the carriages came men like General Wood and General Sickles General Sickles, of my own state, a man who has been a Democrat, who was a Democratic Sheriff of New York County, but he was such a ecood one that Tammany did not al together like him; a man who has served his country in war and in peace, but who ceased to be Identified with the Democ racy when the Democracy .went aftei false gods, when it identified itself at CROKER. home with the cause of djshonest money and disorder "and anarchy, and abroad with the dishonor of the flag. "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. Bryan1 has Just been 'through your state. The other day he put 10 questions. I an swered everyone the day after. He can not ask a question that I will not an swer, nor can he raise an Issue on which I will not meet him, because we are for. tunate enough to know where we stand; we are fortunate enough In having issues that won't wear thin anywhere in the country. I asked Mr. Bryan four ques tions in return for the 10 I have answered, and ho won't answer one. He has Just moved,. Into my own state to try to help I that'apostle of political purity, the Hon. .tucnarci Jroker, get control of the state government and bring it down to the level of Infamy, to which he has reduced the government of Kentucky. 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 was on the commltte on resolutions. Will he denounce these men for their hypocrisy In assailing trusts in public, while in their private capacity they are among the largest stockholders In the worst trust in the country the ice trust of New York?" At Springfield another large crowd greeted the Governor. As the train ap proached the city every factory whistle screamed a salute. The platform was within 100 feet of the train, and on It with the Governor, were all the leadlnff Republicans of this part of the state. Prosperity was the burden of the Gov ernor's speech, which was applauded loudly. The train stopped there nearly an hour, and then stopped at Yellow Springs, Xenla, South Charleston and London. Glassworkers Marched. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Oct 18. A body of striking glassworkers belonging to local assembly 300 marched from here to Eaton, Ind., today, and prevented the Bauer window glass factory from open ing. The window glass company has an nounced that It will open a provision store and thus escape the boycott de clared by the strikers. The Gaynor Case. NEW YORK, Oct 16. John M. Barnes, United States Marshal for the eastern division of the southern district of Geor gia, took the stand in the Gaynor caee and told about the drawing of the grand Jury that Indicted the Gaynor brothers and Captain Greene. The hearing will be continued tomorrow. Creeks Threaten. FOP-T WORTH, Tex., Oct 15 It is re ported a small band of Creek Indians In the territory are getting ready to make trouble and resist paying the tribal taxes. The Indian agents are preparing for any emergency STUFFING WAS Rl HowSeattle's Population Was Swelled by the Census. INCREASE IS LARGELY TANCISD Alaska Argonauts Entered! Xzar37, Into Const Facts Tiat Leaked Out at Washinarton. , WTASSINGfrON. Oct 12. It la probalrta that Seattle will brag a great deal over her great Increase of population, as shown by the lite census, although she was scare Iy disappointed. Some unofficial facts re garding the matter have come to light at the Census Office, which could be sub stantiated If there was a thorough inves tigation and all parties to the matter would tell the truth. These facta would show that Seattle's Increase is largely fancied. At the time the ceusus was taken, Seattle was filled with transients men who were going to Alaska. Every boarding-house and hotel and every avail able space In the city was occupied by thousands of people who were practically homeless. The Census Office decreed that these people were residents of the United States and entitled to be counted some where, and, being in Seattle during, the taking of the census, were counted as a part of that city. It is possible that some of them were counted In other communi ties before going to Seattle, but it haa been a rule ever since the census was first taken that people who are in a town or go aboard a ship, if they are residents of the United States, should be counted In the town where they are. This is a rulo established heretofore, and was carried out in all cities. AH the people In New York who were destined to go abroad for the Summer on the various steamers were counted as a part of the population of New York City, because It was decided that in order to make an accurate cen sus of the United States these people should be Included In the count. Thus it Is observed that Seattle's census must have been enormously swelled by the transients who were simply passing through the place and waiting to go aboard ship and go on to Alaska. Just what proportion of the present Seattle census these transients made Is Impossible to state. It would take a careful compu tation from the returns and a thorough Investigation of the transient business of the boarding-houses at the time to de termine the matter. At the same time, it Is known that the count m Seattle was enormously swelled in thismanner. Seattle was evidently determined to count everyjwdy and everything, as the attempt to swell the returns in another direction, which was brought to light and frustrated. Is positive proof. There were enumerated a couple of shiploads of Jap anese who were In port, and who were not landed at Seattle. Further, there was no intention of landing- them, their destination being British Columbia, It is said. These, of course, were thrown out after the Investigation by Special Agent Olmstead At the same time, wherever els the Special agent was upable to fasten absolute fraud, he could make no reduc tion, and consequently Scattre shows up In such a large degree over Tacoma. While there Is no doubt that Seattle has Increased more than Tacoma In the last 10 years, at the same time It Is rather surprising to people in the Bast that Se attle should have made such enormous gains, while Tacoma stood, practically still. The Impression produced is that Se attle evidently took advantage of every thing that would swell the census count Frelgrnt Train "Wrecked. CHICAGO, Oct. 16. Two men were killed and one fatally Injured by the de railment of a freight train on the Chi cago & Alton, at Lawndale. near here, today. The dead are: Charles Eaton, engineer Wilson. fireman.
