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

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

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

store and thus escape the boycott de

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
