William Joinings Brjan arrived in ii
New Yoik at tbroo o'clook on Tuesday g
of lsat week. Ilia reception was an R
emphatic ovation. As tho train steam.
o
ed into annex of the Grand Central ^
depot that part of tho immense build- t
ing was packed with a waiting uiulti- 1'
tudo. Bryan was driven to tho Hoff 0
man house in an open oarriago in which 0
ho eat next to Kiohard Croker, and 9
with uncovered head bowed and smiled t
to tho thousands who ohecrcd him. a
Forty second ptreet presented an ani- r
mated scene. From Lexingtin avenuo C
on one sido to Sixth avenue on the oth 0
er, tho sidewalks were lined with tho a
populace. e
As the time approaohed for tho ar- t
rival of the train tie reception com- ^
mittce started in to novo further and i:
further along side 1 ho track At this c
point the police lines wt ro n ado inef d
feotual by a regular football rush, i
Whilo tho reception ooromitteo wcro n

along the tracks was a mass of people r
when tlio ergiro of the Br)an train o
blow its warning whistle. Then oanio t
the maa scramblo to rtaoh tho roar oar I
of tho train in which Col. Bryan was 1
ksuppoFod to ho. Mr. Croker, Mr. Hearst t
and tho other members of tho reoeption g
committee tried to walk in a dignifiod f
manner towards tho train to trrect tho
presidential oandidato, but tlio crowd i
waB too great. They wero pushed and a
bhovod and bustled along until thoy Q
had almost to break into a run beforo t
they oould swing thcmsolvos on tbo 1
rear platform and givo Col. Bryan t
greeting. a
Meanwhile tho crowd had worked it- p
selt up to what it considered a proper o
degrco of enthusiasm. It ohoercd and q
hallooed as Bryan stepped on the plat- t
form. Thon cscoriod by Kiohard i
Croker and tho coinmitteo he began tho o
journey toward tho street. A number ?
of pcoplo grasped Bryan's hands, tho '
oandidato smiled good Daturcdly *
through it all, in spito of tho faot that t
both ho and Mr. Croker wero being n
rather roughly jostled about. As ho a
entorcd tho opou carriago and took his o
seat Bryan took off his hat and smiled r
and bowed on every sido. ltiohard o
Croker sat next to him, whilo Mr. \
Iloarst and Mr. Shcvlin ocoupied tho f
other two Beats in tho carriago. It a
took Bomo timo to clear a passago way a

the doors, 5:30 o'clock, Madison Square t

the State Democratic tioket, John B. n
Stanohficld, spoko, was besieged by p
orowds. Throngs gathered and massed n
before the two main entrances to the b
building on Fourth and Madison ave- o
nues as early as 2 o'clock hoping to get g
in when tho deoTs were first opened. a
At 6:30 o'olock to tho minuto tho a
sound cf exploding bombs outside the h
garden announced the opening of the n
doors. Instantly there was a great
rush by the people from Madison ave- s<
nue hallway and from tho Twonty- fi
Sixth street entrance, whioh, aooord- 1<
ing to police arrangements, was to be b
kept dear for ticket holdors. In tho
first rush were a few women who got v
seats near the speaker's stand. In less it
than 10 minutes overy seat on tho floor w
was taken, and tho orowd whioh had r<
begun to poor in from all sidos, at- ii
taoked tho gailarios. Fivo minutes n
later saw the baloony and a part of the it
galleries black with people. The rush h
IT' was thon over, but there oamo a steal n
stream through the prinoipal doors and n
all empty seats wore soon filled. The p
orowd did not appear at first to be li
demonstrative. Whon the lights wero o:
all turned on there oame a brief cheer.

Then tho band struok up a national ei
air, and as the peoplo reoognised " Yan- tl

with uncovered heads, and as they ir
waved thousands of small Amerioan h
flags, shouted out the words of the song. ai
The Garden was dooorated in tbe na- 01

Bryan ontorcd tho Garden at 7:15
'olook. As tho faoo of Mr. Croker,
ehind whioh appearod Bryan was soon,
ho orowd burst forth in ono great prooDged
yoll. Kvcryono stood tip too
n his seat and tho Gardon was a sea
f waving fl ?gs. As Col. Bryan, osorted
by Mr. Crokor, mounted tho
peaker's stand, tho ohcoring was oontnuous.
Tho two climbed tho stairs
nd mado thoir way to the front of tho
oooption oominittoo. Bryan and Mr.
jroker frequently responded to tho
hccring by bowing to tho vast audienoo
nd the faocs of both men woro wreathd.in

hoy mounted tho platform, was Mayor
/an Wyek, osoortod by Kdward M.
(hophard, who aotedas ohairmau of tho
neeting. The oheoring oontinuod; now
lying down, now being renowed with
norcased vigor. It oontinuod for Gvo
ninutos, not abating when Bryan roso
o his feet and raised his hand. Mr.
Irokor pulled him baok into his seat.
Tho ohcoring wont on. Thon Mr.
Irokor rose, hesitated a momont, thon

"Throo ohecrs for tho next prosdent,"

thophard oould got into tho pubjoot

o hear 13ryan that Mr. Shophard oould

nd introduced Prosidont (Jruggonhoim

ashlight bomb went off in tho oontre
f tho room. Women shrieked and
ho men yellod, not knowing what it
raa. There wan great disorder for a

olioemon ruahed to tho spot where the

him and hustled him and hia oamra
out into the aisle and out of the

He began quietly, hia voioo being
oaroely audible a hundred feet away

Gol. Bryan began by roferringto the

The Newport News Herald says the
Ituation has ohanged somewhat. Potioal
situations, like that of the woathr,
often ohange in a very short while.
ve know not whether it was the wisom
of Mr. Bryan or that of his advisrs,
but that matters not, the faot is
lat it was wise for Mr. Bryan to inide
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. His
ivasion of those States has increased
is ohanoos of eleotion wonderfully
id it need not surprise any one if he
trries the two former and gives Mr.

Tho trial of Ilonry R. Youtsey,
charged with being a principal in tho
killing of QovernorUocbol, was rosumcd ]
\Vednosday at Frankfort, Ky., although
Youtsoy was roportoi in the
sauio oondition as last week. His
roouu door was opened and his bod
pulled up in plain viow and hearing of
tho jury and while tho wituessos wcro
being examined Youtsoy oould bo hoard
calling his wife's name in a hollow
moauing voioo and oould bo soon to bo
sitting on his bed.
Tho featuro of tho day was tho testimony
of Arthur Qoobol, brothor of
the dead govornor. Ho told of going
to the jail tho day Youtsoy was arrested
and then said:
"1 put my left hand on Mr. Youtsoy'b
right shouldor and said: 'Mr.
Youtsoy, Colouol Campbell has just returned
and told mo what you have said
to him and I havo ooino over to have
you tell mo what you havo told him, to
toll mo w hether it is true, and to a?k

"I thon Baid to Youtsoy: "Now I

and about going to aco Taylor and also \
about going to seo Taj lor on Tuot,day I

Youtacy said: Mu t aa I told 1
Colonol Campbell, I had a talk with i
Dick Comba ou Monday tuorniug and I
ho told mc that ho wm ready to do i
tho shooting and L went to Caleb Dow i
era for tho key to his offioo and ho |

Youtsoy hoMtated and i said: 'Very j

said: 'Well, 1 told him Jim Howard i

"I askod: 'What olso did Taylor

and said: 'Youtsoy, what d? you I

think I oould hold my offioo?' Ho discussed
that mattor talking to mo baok

if Goobol was put out of tho way that
tho oontest would bo settled and that
ho oould hold his offioo. Finally 1

finally whothor it in to bo dono or not,' 1
and after some hesitation Youtsoy 1
stated that Tylor said finally:
" (Woll, tell them to go ahead. It 1
is neoossary, I oan sond tho man to 1
the mountains with a squad of soldiers.' j
I said: 'Did ho say anything about <
pardoning him?' and Youtsey said: f
'ies, thatis so.' Ho said: 'If it is <
neoossary I oan pardon him and ho will (
be safo enough.' Youtsey then stop* 1
ped and I asked 'What did you do then? f
You told Colonel Campbell, a9 he told '
mo, that you left oertain pcoplo into 1
Powors' office.' 1
V Y-ouUey said: 'I went baok and re- <
ported. I told Horry Howard and <
Diok Combs and Jim Howard to go and f
bo in tho hall of tho exeoutive building '
and i then left.' 1 said, 'What did 1
you do?' 1
"Youtsoy said: 'I went and got the '
cartridges. When I went baok Borry I
Howard, Diok Combs and Jim Howard, 1
wero in the hall and 1 unlooked the 1
door and let them in and gave them tho
cartridges.' I again interrupted and (
asked Youtsey as to whom he had given (
the oartridgos and he said: 'I gave
them to Jim Howard. Ho was tho last (
man who went in the door.'
"I said: 'HowLmany did you give
him?' and he saidr 'I gave him tho
whole box.' I said: 'Mr. Youtsey who
fired the shot?' and ho said: 'I oannot ]
tell you, 1 didn't see him.' I said:
'What did you do when you lot him
in? He said: 'I stood near tho door.'
I said: 'You gave tho oartridgos to

"It has Won tho fashion for tho Ro- /

There is nothing in any Democratic b

Wednesday's aotion was tho oulmination
of tho rooont mooting of tho individual

in tho ooai rogion had, previous to tho
mino workors' oonvontion, postod notiocs
granting an advanoo of 10 por

this demanded that tho sliding
