(Ivi'ii liurcli l''nlr Ciuir.
The party drove through Forty-second
street to Fifth avenue and down to the
Hoffman house. Mr. llryan reached the
Hoffman bouse at 3 20 p. in. ll the way
down Kit Hi avenue he was cheered by the
crowds. Tho demonstration as Mr. llryan
lefl his larilape and entered the Twenty
sixth street entrance of tho hotel was a
lepetition of thai along the line. Mr.
Hrynn then went to his room. A fow
minutes later he received a delegation from
fit. Mntthew's Lutheran church, llrooklyn.
llov. Augustus Summers, the pastor, pre
sented him with a gold-headed cane, which
had been won by Mr. llryan. who received
llio largest number of votes at a fair hold
by the church. He made a speech of
thanks and then retired to rest before the
banquet.
, 5.30 o'clock to the minute, tho sound
of exploding bombs outside the garden an
nounced the opening of tho doors, In
stantly thero wan a great rush by tho peo
plo from tlm Mndlson avenuo hallway and
the Twonty-slxth street entrances, whlrh
were to be kept clear for ticket-holders.
In the first rush were a few women, who
got ucar the speakers' stand. In less than
ten minutes every seat on the floor was
taken, and tho crowd which had begun to
pour In from all sides, attacked the gal
leries Klve minutes later saw the bal
cony nnd a part of the galleries black
wlih people. The rush was then over, but
there came a steady stream through tho
principal doors nnd all empty seats were
.toon filled. Tlm crowd did not appear at
Hist to bo demonstrative.
Totli'lilllK Sentiment liy Criikrr.
When the lights were nil turned on thero
came a big cheer The big seml-clreular
elertrlo display above the speakers' stand
brought out the portraits of the demo
cratic candidates, the democratic emblem
nnd tho democratic watchword, credited to
Mr. Croker. "We wish to remain free poo
plo," In great letters of light. Then tho
band struck up a national air nnd as the
people recognized "Yankee Doodle" they
got up in their scuts with uncovered heads
and. as thny waved thousands of small
American Hags, shouted out the words of
the song.
Tho garden was decorated In the national
colors only. Streamers radiated from tho
center of tho roof uuder tho skylight, to
tho heads of, tho Irou pillars under tho
gallerbs, and festoons of banners of the
different stntos lined the gallerlrs. The
hpeakeis' stand was draped simply with
the American flag and reJ, whlto and bluo
bunting.
At ti. 30 o'clock the only scats remaining
vacant In tho entire garden was an occa
sional box, the tickets for which remained
good until 7 o'clock. The crowd was or
derly and frequent performances by the
band brought out enthusiasm.
The entranco of the Tammany men
brought out the first strong applause. As
We've a little book on the
hair and its diseases which tells
ou a good many things you
should know. It's full of pic
tures, too, of what Ayer's Hair

and conditions of people.
We should be glad to send

7 o'clock approached the hour when Col
onel Uryan was expected to arrive, the
irowd began to warm up The gardn was
Jammed. The police Kept the aisles fairly
well cleared and bn. k of the guller seats
there was not an Inch of available space.
Colonel llryan entered the garden at 7:15.
As tho face of Mr. Croker, behind which
appeared Colonel Ilaryan's, was seen the
crowd burst forth In one great, prolonged
yell.. Everyone stood tiptoe on his seat
and tbu garden was a sea of walng flags.
When Mr. IJryan. accompanied by Mr.
Croker, mounted tho speakers' stand tho
cheering was continuous.
The cheering continued, now dlng
down, now being renewed with increased
vigor. It continued for live minutes, not
abating when Colonel Hryan rose to Ills
feet and raised his hands, ilr. Croker
pulled him back Into his seat. The cheer
ing wont on. Then Mr. Croker rose, ties
Itated a moment, and raised his hand for
silence. Instead of ceasing the crowd
broke forth louder than ever. Do what
ho could Mr. Croker could not silence the
crowd. After nearly fifteen minutes ot
cheering the cheers began to decrease.
Mingled cheers aud hisses, Ihe latter for
silence, lasted a minute longer. "Three
cheers for our next president," brought I
out a final cheer, but an elfort to repeat
It was drowned In cries of 'Tut him out:"
The enthusiasm nearly carried the crowd I
away. The throng at the Madison stctiue I
end of the garden Jammed down the !
aisles and the sixty odd policemen at that
quarter had to do slnceio battle with the
crowd to keep It under control.
Knusii City 1'lnlform KiiHiiraril.
When quiet was restored Mr. Croker
rr.se. took Mr. rihepard by the arm and
Introduced him to the audience as chair-
man of tho meeting.
Ileforo Mr. Hhepard could get Into th sub
ject of "Imperialism." to which most of his
address was devoted. Ihe crowd got so Im
patient fo hear Mr. Hryan that Mr. Shepard
could not proceed. He suddenly stopped nnd
Introduced President Ouggenhelmer of the
council, who offered the resolutions of the.
evening. These welcomed Ilrvan i.nd Steven
son to the city, approved the Kansas (.'It
platform, opposed Imperialism, opposed an
liumenso standing army, praised tho volun
teer arm as being sufllelent in emergency,
opposed entangling foreign alliances, sym
pathized with the Doers, denounced trusts,
pledged the party to bring back to the peo
ple constitutional government nnd charged
lh republicans with having raised a gigantic
corruption fund. The resolutions were
cheered, mingled with shouts for Bryan, ami
Mr. Shepard nt onco Introduced the latter
In a few short sentences.
Colonel llryan stepped to the railing about
tho stand, as the throng broke out afresh
Into rhecrs. He raised his hand for silence,
but the cheers did not subside. Colonel
Hryan was dressed simply In a black suit,
with a short sack coat. "Three cheers for
our next pie.-ddnt." came up from the audi
ence. Colonel Hryan mlf.id his hand In
deprecation. The crowd was about to be
come quiet, when with a boom and a flash
of lire a flashlight bomb went off In the,
center of the room. Women shriekiil and
tho crowd yelled, not knowing what It nil
meant, there was great disorder for a mo
ment and calls for the police. A dozen
policemen rushed to tlm spot whero the
man sat who had fired the bomb, grabbed
him and hustled his camera out into the
nlsle and out of tho garden.
Colonel Brynji had stood calmly at the rail.
Thero was another attempt to renew the
cheering, but hisses greeted It and Colonel
llryan commenced speaking.
When Colonel Hrynn began speaking bis
volco was scarcely audlblo 100 feet from tho
stand, but he gradually spoko louder and
In a moment his volco could be heard by
the galleries. Tho crowd listened In silence
for a time, but when the speaker declared
that the democratic party recognized the
right of ability of mind and muscle to the
fruits of Its toll the crowd broko forth Into
cheering.
Iloiiiltu-1 for llli'L. Croker.
"We are not opposed to that wealth which
conies as the reward of honest toll and
Is enjoyed by those, who give to hoclety
something In return for that which society
throws upon them," said Mr. Hryan. and he
went on to say that tho party 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 ad
vantages which some citizen has taken over
many citizens."
He then went on to enumerate the various
classes to which ho said tho republicans
were making specious appeals, and he In
cluded In the list the farmer, tho laborer,
etc. "It gives the laborer," ho said, "the
nssuranco that he will havo a full dinner
pall and then it assures him that there will
be .i large army to make, hlra satisfied with
his full dinner pall."
Colonel Hryan claimed he was willing to
admit that tbo army contractors and tho
trust magnates might be prosperous. A
man who gets special privileges at the hands
of tho government can prosper under re
publican management," he said, "but I deny
that tho wealth producers of the country are
enjoying their share of the government's
productions."
"If a republican tells you," he said, "that
the Ico trust Is hurting the people, you tell
them you have so much confidence In tho
republican governor that you know he would
not bo out went making speeches if the
people were suffering from tho Ice trust."
This remark was received with cheers.
Colonel llryan said he was not satisfied to
prevent extortion, but that he would make
It Impossible for a private monopoly to ex
1st lu tho I nltcd States. This waa met
with cheers and cries of "flood." He said
he would squeezo tbo water out of tho Block
"There would be a flood for a while," he
declared, "but theio would be houest cor
porations afterwards."
Army to Coerce (itltrim.
Colonel llryan then turned his attention
to tho Increase of tho standing army, and
when ho asked If we should have a large
army in the United States there were sev
eral responses of "So" from the audience.
"I believe." he said, repeating previous
u: t 'tai.ces, "that one of the reasons why
they want a lar&u army Is to build a fort
ii. every largo city and ue the army to
neppieas titr 'o'cp tnat discontent that ought
, to be cured by legislation."
I He 'Hen took up the question of his con
1 no with tho ratltlcatlon of the treaty
jn.l i tho republicans would not Hint a
siiiaii'i- who would say he had voted for It
bciaust he (Mr. Bryan) had favored it, and
continued "Hut I can prove by Senator
Wellington, a republican, that without bis
vote It would not have been ratified. Ho
would not have voted for It but for the fact
ihat the president promised him Ihe I'hlllp
pino islands would not be held penna
nantlj ."
Colonel llryan referred to the charge that
he was responsible for the continuation of
tho war In tho Philippines nnd said: "If I
nin guilty of this charge, then who Is re
sponsible for the fact that our forefathers
fought tho same battle u buudred years be
foro I was born"
In closing, he said Instead of being h
nation ever ready to resort to force, he
wanted U to be a peacemaker among nations
MCM-iimni ( Icurx the llnll,
Colonel llryan concluded his speech at 9
o'clock precisely, having spoken one hour
and liny-one minutes. The crowd roie and
rheerod as ho left the platform In company
wun .Mr. croher, snaking hands as he left
Tho applause for Colonel Hryan m he went
away blended wlih that for A K. Stevenson
as he rose to speak.
Tho Cheers died out and the nalie of the
crowd getting out prevented Mr Stevenson
from speaking Three minut s after Mr
Bryan left there- were racant seats all over
the building, large pat. hes showing every
where on the galleries and main floor. Mr.
Stovenson made an attempt to speak, but
his voice could not be heard Ilfty feet away.
Over half of the irowd left. Frequent at
tempts were made by Chairman Phepard and
Mr. Stevenson to detain the crowd, but they
were unavailable.
Webster Davis was the next speaker. In
discussing the South Afilcan war. be SAld
the L'ntted Slates government wa not even
neutral, that absolute neutrality would mean
that. If mules and breadstuffs could bo sold
io the British the same things could be sold
to tho rioer. He charged that a shipload
of Xoodsturfs consigned to thu Hocrs had
been seized by the British and that the
t'nlted States had not even entered a pro
test. Mr. Davis also blamed the I'nlted
States' representative In Natal for allowing
tho Stars and Stripes to float besldo the
Kngllsh flag In honor of the defeat of
Cronje.
"(iolilrii Mule" .lulu". icnL.
At tho close of WebMor Davis' speech
Mayor Jones of Toledo was introduced. He
was heartily received.
Tho 4.000 or 5.000 who hail remained to
hear Mr. Davis aud Mr.' Jones cheered Mr.
Stanchlleld when ho was Introduced. A
number started to go out as he began speak
ing and ho wus Interrupted as Mr. Steven
son had been.
At tbo closo of Mr. Stnnehfleld's address
Chairman Shepard Introduced William
Mackay, candidate for lieutenant governor.
When Mr. Mackay concluded the band struck
up "Dixie" and the small remaining por
tion of tho crowd Hied out.
The crowd that surged nhout the open air
stand at Madison avenuo and Twenty-fourth
street, crushing the weak and almost
smothering thoio who were so tightly packed
that the air, which reeked with the fumes
of green fire, could not reach them, may
have numbered 20.nno, ami there was not
one In that crowd who cared to hear anyon
else but Mr. Hrynn. Half a dozen speakers
tried to keep them quiet until Mr. llryan
came, but the most successful speaker had
a burd Job.
Wouldn't l.lntrn to 'Km.
Commissioner Keller presided. Congress
man Qtilnn started to speak, but gnve up
in disgust. Ho had not fairly begun when
Uio band started to play.
Augustus T. Doherty. Assistant District
Attorney Osborne, James Lindsay Cordon,
James Hamilton Lewis, D. J. Cavanagh and
others tried to speak, but the crowd gave
them small chance. It was shortly after f
o'clock when tho cavalcade heading the
Hryan party rodo down Madison avenuo to
tho stand. Ths carriages could not drive
within fifty feet of It and Colonel Bryan,
Mr. Crocker. Mr. Hearst, James S'helvln of
Brooklyn, who were In the carriages, walked
to the stand. The ovation to the cnndldate
was deafenlngly loud and prolonged. After
shaking hands with Mr. Keller and those on
the stand who could stretch their hands to
him. Colonel Hryan stood facing the crowd
in front of tho stand. He uncovered his
head, but the. bombs were exploding over
head and tho tiro from ono almost struck
him. Mr. Bryan drew away as If to dodgo
it. The band was playing "Hall to the
Chief" when Mr. Bryan outstretched his
hand to command silence. Ho spoko very
briefly, and the moment he stopped speak
ing Mr. Croker took his arm and led him
to the rear of tho stand to see the crowd
assembled there. Ho waved his bat to them
and Mr. Croker nsked him: "Did you over
see anything like It?"
"Wonderful, wonderful," Colonel Bryan
said.
Then tho party, aftor handshaking all
around, left tho stand and got Into the car
riages. The trip to Tammany hall was made
through streets lined with cheering thou
sands. Colonel Bryan and his party arrived
nt ? 20. Senator Mackey was speaking, but
as soon as the crowd recognized Bryan It
rose to lis feet and cheered for several min
utes. Itlchard Croker, who accompanied
'olonel Bryan, took a seal on the rear of
the platform while tho candidate went to the
front and acknowledged the greeting. When
the cheering had continued for a couple or
minutes ho raised his hand to command si
lence.
CIohIiik Meeting; of KvrnliiK.
At 10 o'clock Mr. Hrynn arrived at Cooper
Union. Ills appearance on tho platform was
the signal for one of the most enthusiastic
greetings ever accorded to any ono man
there. It was fully llvo minutes boforo quiet
was restored. Then John Dewltt Warner,
chairman ot tho meeting, Introduced Colonel
Bryan.
John B. Stanchlleld followed Mr. Bryan.
Then came William Mackey, Franklin
Qulnby and Chairman Sulzer. It was 10:30
when Mr. Bryan and his party camo out of
Cooper Union. Tho crowd seemed to go
crazy, it wns tho most dangerous outlook
of the evening and It seemed as tbough
scores were to bo trampled under foot. Re
peatedly the pollco charged to get Colonel
Bryan's carriage through. Night sticks
wore finally drawn and a lane opened long
enough to let tho Bryan carriages Into Irv
ing I'laco. Through that street It went In
n dash and on up Broadway. Several hun
dred peoplo ran In pursuit and kept right
after tho carriage and escort to Union
square whll hundreds were on the curb.
Toward Madison avenuo tho crowd tired,
but an Immense crowd waa In front of the
Hoffman houso to meet Colonel Hrynn when
he got out of his carriage. Ho wus taken
to his sulto at once. There he received the
national, state nnd local committees and

great deal of Interest Is being mani
fested by republicans In the meetings to he
held hero on Saturday night of this week
and the central committee is helng con
gratulated on all sides for having secured
so many distinguished speakers for the
meeting') advertised. Miles Mitchell nnd
Mayor Kelly are arranging the details and
In this they are being assisted by repre
sentatives of all of the republican clubs
In the city. It has been arranged that
Senator Hanna will make three twenty
uilnuto speeches In three halls. The
schedule of addresses will bo printed as
soon as tho arrangements arc completed.
Among the speakers who will address tho
various meetings are Mcssr. O'Donnell,
Baldwin. Hanna and Rosewatir. Mr. Hoso
water will speak especially to the voters
of tho Second ward at Koutsky's hall and
will bo followed by Senator Hanna..
Tho Idea of n mounted escort of Hough
Itiders for the distinguished visitors Is con
sidered nn excellent oao and Mayor Kelly
anuoiiuces a call for volunteers. Kvery
republican who desires to act as an escort
for Senator Hanna and the others Is re
quested to send his name lo Mayor Kelly
at once. Miles Mitchell, chief of police,
will most likely bo named as the com
mander of this mounted earort, with W. L.

Through the efforts ot Mrs. D. L. Holmes
anil other members ot tho South Omaha
Hospital association steps havo been
taken to secure the erection of a hospital
building in thin city. Tha matter was
taken up at a meeting of prominent mem
bers of tho Commercial club Monday night
and a committee was appointed to raise
funds for tho project. This comtr.lttco 1b
composed of Harry Christie, F. A. Crcs
sey, Goorgo H. Brewer. Thomas J. O'Nell
and Dr. W. II. Slabaugh.
For llio purposo of raising funds lapel
buttons will bo sold at Jl apleco and with
tho aid ot tho women It Is expectea that
at least 2.000 buttons can be aold without
any dllllculty. Tho Intention of tho as
soctatiou is to purchase lota in the cen
tral portion of tho city and erect thereon
a modern building. Naturally the cor
porations will be expected to donate lib
erally to tho scheme, as nearly two-thirds
of tho patlentB at the hospital are em
ployes of either tbo railroads, stock yards
or packing houses.
In addition to tho( salo of buttons the
committee In chargo of tho financial end
ot tho project will solicit subscriptions.
In this way It Is thought that qulto a sum
can be raised lu addition to the sale ot
the buttons. Nearly everyouo lu tho city
realizes tho necessity for a flrst-clasa
hci-pltal hero and It Is expected that
everyone will assist In carrying out tho
present plans for a building.

Kelly's Idea Is economy. Ho wants to
give tho best service possible for tho
least mouoy. A team of horses ,ill cost
at least J300 and hose for the cart or
wagon will causo an expondltura of not
less than $000. as good hose cannot bo
purchased now for much less than $1.10 a
toot.
Arrangements will bo made Immediately
for the ptirchaso of the apparatus to be
used In tho new flro hall and tho hose will
doubtless be ordered at tho next meeting
of the council.
