Mr. Bryan in New England
Tho distinguished visitor within
Hartford's galqs toilny did not bring
bis wolcomo along, and I10 did not
Imvo to; It was hero all the while
rmuly and hearty waiting for him. If
ho enjoys being hero half as well as
Hartford enjoys seeing him hero, he'll
have a happy day. That's what wo all
want him to have.
When ho wan bore eleven years ago,
it was a political visit; and lie, called
Hartford a stronghold, or citadel, or
something like that, of money; and
perhaps wo Ha rtf orders were pleased
rather than otherwise. Certainly no
body was offended. There's a lot more
money In Hartford now that there
was in. 1800; there is also a much just
er appreciation of William Jennings
ftryan. Ho did not convert us to his
economic beliefs then, and he isn't
going to try to now. But wo have all
come to a recognition of the fine traits
of his character, the amiability of bis
manners, and tho singular charm of
his eloquence,
rvmwt riirhf In. Mr. TCrvnn. and make

IN 1800 AND TODAY
When William J. Bryan came to New
Haven in 1800 and tried to speak on
the green he was hissed by hundreds
and tho Yale boys made it impossible
for him tojlnish his speech.
If any republican had then suggest
ed that Mr. Bryan be welcomed by a
republican governor and formally in
vited to address a republican legisla
ture in "general assembly convened,"
that republican might have escaped a
tailor-made coat of tar and feathers,

but ho wouldn't have any longer been
known as a republican.
But 1890 was eleven years ago.
Bryan was called a "radical" then
and men "viewed" him with curiosity,
locking their strong boxes first and
hanging onto their pockets as they
looked. '
Today some people call Mr. Bryan a
"conservative" and nobody is afraid
of him.
Governor Woodruff sent him a cor
dial letter of invitation to visit the
state capltol and every republican of
the house and senate voted for a reso
lution asking him to address the gen
eral assembly in "joint session con
vened." Is the Bryan of today the same
Bryan the students hooted, republicans
shunned and thousands of democrats
deserted In 1890?
Has something happened to Mr.
Bryan?
Or has something happened to a lot
of other 'people?
Has republican sentiment and demo
cratic sentiment changed, or has the
Hon. Archibald McNeil of Bridgeport
mypnotlzed Governor Woodruff, the
senate, the house and the "whole
blooming business," as George M.
Clark of Haddam would say?
Mr. Biyan was received with honor,
Mr. Gunn of Milford, who took the
stump against him eleven years ago,
noted as a ticket seller for the Bryan
banquet, and Governor Woodruff gave
the conquering "Prince of Peace" his
rooms in the Garde hotel.
Perhaps Mr. Bryan, all alone in his
own room, didn't snicker today.
If he didn't he must have supreme
control over his feelings. New Haven
Leader.
Tired but cheery, Mr. Bryan was
human and humorous throughout his
too short visit to Hartford yesterday,
and that made his presence thorough
ly delightful for all those who met
him. Even in the printed word, where
the sole charm is in what he said, and
not in the genial skill with which he
said 4t, we think that those who peruse
his Garde hotel speech will find their
full reward. Mr. Bryan has ripened
wonderfully; and the attitude of an ob
servant citizen of the world, with un
derlying political tendencies, which he
took here, has become wholly natural
to him, and is wholly charming in any
case. We hope that Hartford pleased
him as much as he pleased Hartford.
Hartford Courant.
byists! How long will Connecticut
stand for this?" '"
Such words from the lips of a chief
magistrate whom the people respect,
have not dropped void and inert to the
ground. Governor Woodruff thinks
they will be remembered when tho
delegates to the republican state con
vention are chosen, and we hope he is
right. Everybody concerned may he
entirely sure that Connecticut's, electo
rate will remember them on election
day. Long before that the speech
made at New Haven last evening will
have been read by every Intelligent
voter in the eight counties. "Tho .time
is coming," said Mr. Bryan at the cap
ital yesterday, "when an indignant
people will say that politics must be
honest." Coming It is, to a certainty;
In Connecticut it is now almost at the
door.
We have just quoted an eloquent
American of these years; the date at
the top of the page recalls a very elo
quent, very noble American of other
years, and his words may well go to
the freemen of Connecticut with Gov
ernor Woodruff's words and Mr. Bry
an's. "Wherever party spirit shall
strain the ancient guarantees of free
dom," said George William. Curtis on
un earlier April 19; "or bigotry and ig
norance shall lay their fatal hands up
on education; or the arrogance of caste
shall strike at equal' rights; or corrup
tion shall poison the very springs of
national life there, minute-men of
liberty, are your Lexington Green and
Concord Bridge; and, as you love your
country and your kind, and would have
your children rise up and call you
blessed, spare not the enemy!" Hart
ford Courant.
THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH
Connecticut political conditions are
not the same this morning they were
yesterday morning. Something of very
serious import with far-reaching con
sequences in it has occurred in Con
necticut. An nonest governor, thwart
ed and mocked In his Unselfish efforts
for the people's good, has done what
Hughes of New York said he would do
in like case; he has turned, directly and
fearlessly, to the people. Such a
speech as Rollin S. Woodruff made at
New Haven last nicht is an absolutely
new thing in the state's experience,
but when was there ever before such
occasion and provocation for it? The
governor was far too much in earnest
List night to smooth and soften his
words; they have a sledgehammer
blnntness and impact".
He tells the people of Connecticut
plainly that the present general as
sembly with, as he believes, a major
ity of honest, well-meaning, men in it
-is controlled by the "leaders" and
the lobby and the forces of graft and
private profit in the background, issu
ing orders to both. He tells them that
the session so far has been a juggling
with legislation. He tells them that
ho despairs of the enactment at tills
time of a single law in their interest.
"What a deplorable spectacle is pre
sented to our view," he exclaims, "of
the lawmaking power of this common
wealth paralyzed by the grip of lob-
