Jersey City. N. J . Oct. 25.-The Prat
day of Mr Bryan s tour of New Jersey,
which close*] here with six meetings to
night. may be described ns a mail rush.
From the time he entered Washington
Park, opposite Philadelphia, until he
closed his last meeting here he hud made
fifteen speeches* The avenge of their
duration was greater than usual.
He s|K>k<- in succession at W;iahtngton
Park, Riverside. Burlington, Trenton
(twice), Princeton Junction. N-w Bruns
wick. Kiisuhcth, MarUjti and Jr.-ey City
<dx times).
His journey through the state was a
surprise to those accompanying Mr. Bry
an. if not to him. for in few
fates. If any, hits he had larger
or morn demon*tnative audiences. Ills
meeting nt Washington Park was
almost n record br-ak*r in both of th-*
respects, and his meetings in Trenton and
j hu reception In thin city were only second
to the Washington park meeting in num
bers and in fet-Ung displayed.
Probably no candidate for the presidency
\%as ever so much Jostled about ami push
ed around in one day's time as Mr. Bryan
was to-day. At most stopping places the
irjltce found It imiMutsible to protect him
from the hundred**, not to say thousands
of j/ersons who thronged his pathway and
fol!ow*od him wherever he went.
“I have addressed a great many mee*-
Ingv* of college boy*, but 1 never had
u nicer meeting thou this In my life.’*
This is wtiae Mr. Br>an eukl to a mimtw
of the Princeton college boy-, who had
follow*-<1 him to his train from his m*et
li'gpitre at Princeton Junction this after
noon The meeting was one of the must
orderly that Mr Bryan has had in his
whole campaign tour. There was not an
interruption from beginning to end When
Mr. Brvtm arrive*! he wrap greeted with
he college yoH. And there was n similar
demonstration made upon his departure
His address there was entirely* to the
students.
In the Jersey Metropolis.
Mr Bryan’s train arrived at Marlon a
suburb of Jersey City, at O'clock nod
he wn'i driven, after a brief meeting at
that plart. to Rt. Joseph's Hall, his first
stopping place In Jersey City. At Marlon
Mr Bryan wms received by rommitte***
from the varbais Jersey City ward clubs
and by u of f*e<>ir. who fli!e*l nil
th*- available siKiee in the vicinity <*f the
de|*ot In his Marlon sjteech he gave his
principal ottendon to urging the voters
not to allow themselves to l*e elth*-r co
erced or persuaded Into voting contrary
to their convict lona at the txxning elec
tion.
Mr Br>‘an made his tour of the Jersey
metropolis in u ttarotiche drawn by four
spirited black horse* and he was escorted
b> a marching club of several hundred
young men The tour covered a wide
range of territory and did not come to an
*nd until near midnight. When he con
cluded he went to Hoboken, where he
dwnt the night in order that he might
be there for ihe first meeting to-morrow
morning, which is to t ike place there
I: nt li iiln *in F vrr >vv here.
The line of the national candidate’s pro
gress was marked everywhere by loud ac
claims on the part of the people and the
liberal discharge of fireworks. Every
where he was accompanied by a dosen
stalwart policemen who kept at a distance
the crowd which everywhere seemed dis
posed to press in upon and embrac** him
The streets everywhere were crowded
and many houses were brilliantly lighted
until late at night in honor of the occa
sion.
The halls at which s(eeches were made
were all crowded to th*lr utmost capacity.
Mr. Bryan’s speech*** were necesvartly
brief, but in each of them he found op
portunlty to express hi* views upon the
subject § in each of them voting public. He
undertook in each of them to show that
the trusts are oppressing the people; that
there is great danger under Republican
rule of an army larger than this country
need* for legitimate purpose, and that
there •* great danger of drifting Into im
perialism If th* country adopts u colonial
policy.
TWO HNN l\ IREATOS.
llr an Spoke of Falls of Trusts anl
Remedies for Them.
Trenton. N. J. Oct. 25. —Mr. Bryan made
two ofeeches in Trenton, the first in Tay
lor Opera House and the second at an
open air meeting. He wa* splendidly re
ceived at both places. Re*p->n<!tng to the
• pera houee meeting, where the lem*>-
cratlc clubs of the slate were holding
their annual convention. Mr Bryan said
' The Republican party says everything
Is ail right; that the farmer U happy; that
the laboring man ha> a full dinner {Kill
ind that noho ly ought to complain of
present conditions. Our reply Is. all right
I jet every man who la satisfied with his
condition, who b*db-ves he is enjoying his
fair share of the earth's ble.-sings nnd the
government's protection, who thinks that
things are ail right vote the Republican
ticket. I *m perfectly content to draw
the line and let all those who think that
there Is no necessity for better thing* vote
the Republican ticket If I <nn have the
votes of all those who Ixlieve things ran
be made better by better laws."
Evils of thr Trusts.
Mr. Bryan denounced privet# monopoly
as both dangerous and contrary to the
moral law. He added:
“The trust magnate who uses a mon
opoly as a means for extortion Is upon
th# same moral plane as a highwayman
who goes out at night with hia club and
brains men and takes their money away
from them; and when the Republican par
ty perml'S the monopoly to exist It amend*
the commandment and makes It read.
Thou shall not ateal—on a small scale.*
