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.

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.
