MADISON SQUARE MEETING
Ths Silfer-Tongued Candidate Greeted
by a 'nmense Audience Richard
Bland Was There and Arthur
Sewall Was Also Allowed to Sit on
the Platform Mrs. Bryan Shares
the Honors The Speech of Ac
csptance In Full.
Madison Square ilarden. X. Y., Aug.
12. William Jennings Bryan and
Arthur Sen all were formally notified
tonight that they were the choice of the
Democratic party for the highest offices
in the gift of the people of the United
States. The occasion was one to which
the entire country had been looking for
ward for many weeks and Interest had
risen to the boiling point through re
peated promises and hints that the
speech the young Nehraskan would de
liver would exceed In eloquence, vigor
and magnetism his great effort before
the Cliicugo convention. The presence
of so stupendous a crowd of human be
ings was In Itself an eloquent tribute
to the importance attached to the oc
casion. And such it crowd as It was.
Men and women poured Into the vast
auditorium through many Inlets. They
came In droves, In sections, and in or
derly marching step. The opening of
the doors was followed by a hurrying,
scurrying rush of feet and In they came,
shouting, jumping, shoving, pushing, all
intent on reaching the places best avail
able to see and hear all that was to bo
seen and heard. After awhile the In
gress became more orderly and the en
trance of the audience settled down in
to a constant movement Inflow of hu
man beings.
At 7 o'clock the doors were thrown
open and despite the efforts of the police
to restrain them the crowds on every
side made desperate rushes for the en
trances. In the struggles many women
fainted and had to be carried away.
The police 'finally began to use their
clubs In an effort to restore order.
SCENKS OP DISORDER.
A wild scene of turmoil ensued at the
main entrance. Men, women and po
licemen were jumbled together in an
ludescrimlnate mob. Men tore each
other and their own clothes In their
frantic endeavors to gain admission
and matters looked serious for some
moments. Shriek after shriek came
from the women in the struggling mass
and two or three of them fainted. Then
the police rallied, and with a vigorous
use of their club soon formed a line and
thereafter there was a semblance of
order. Seats on the platform Immed
iately In the rear of tliu- rostrum had
Iteen reserved for members of the na
tional committee, members of
the notification committee and a
few dlstlngushed Democrats. Sen
ator Jones, of Arkansas, chair
man of the " national commit
tee, was an early conker. Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, a pioneer lit the
silver cause, was conspicuous by his
white beard and broad brimmed cream
colored hat held in his hand. Many of
his colleagues in the federal senate were
near at hand. There were two Louis
iana senators. ' Blauehard and Caff ley;
Camden, of West Virginia; Klackburu,
of Kentucky; Tillman, of South Caro
lina whose resolutions at the Chicago
convention condemning President
Cleveland had been withdrawn through
the protest of William J. Kryan; Pas
co, of Florida, and a number of con
gressmen, Including AlcMillin, of Ten
nessee. In the boxes surrounding' the platform
were seated Mr. Bryan, ex -Congressman
ami Mrs. Bland. Senator Black
burn, of Kentucky. Congressmen Sulzcr
f New York, und Walsh, uf New
York; eneral Bond, of Maryland, and
many others.
Itlchard P. Bland, the man who so
neurly captured the prize that fell to
Bryan entered the Oarden nt 7.40.
With li I nt was Mrs. Bland, but they
came In so iiuletly and unostentatiously
that no one noticed their entrance. The
members of the notification committee
had entered without exciting any dem
onstration. Then came the national
committee, und with them Arthur
Sewall, the vlce-presideutlal candidate,
who occupied a place second only to the
Nebruskan in tonight's proceedings.
He was recognized by only a few and
the vast majority of the audience did
not understand the sporadic cheering In
the audience and the hund-clapplng on
the k tu nil.
APPLAl'SE FOH MRS. BRYAN.
But It was when the young wife of
the young Nehraskan nominee entered
the box reserved for the use of herself
and her friends that the assemblage
let Itself loose for the first time. All
men are anxious to do honor to a woman
and the fan-waving beings who throng
ed the Garden were only too willing to
follow precedent. Cheer after cheer
went up from floor and gallery and plat
form nnd the dark-skinned little woman
opened her eyes In surprise and then
went ahead calmly settling herself In
her seat In the box nearest to and to the
right of the rostrum. Mrs. Bryan rose
to bow her thanks. The cheering be
came more intense. She bowed again
and again, and still they cheered.
Through It all she looked cool and calm,
Just as she appeared on that exciting
July day at Chicago when the Bryan
whirlwind swept all before It and
brought about the circumstances that
made her io prominent a personage. It
was Just eight o'clock when the princl-
pal actor of the evening entered. Mr.
Bryan had reached the darken in com
pany with his wife and Mr. St. John,
but had remained below until they were
seated.
THE HERO APPEARS.
Vlifn he stepped on the stand and
was recognised by many In the audi
ence, a great cheer went up. "Bryan,
Bryan, Bryan," was the shout of those
who knew him, und as others in the
crowd realized that the hero of the
evening had come the cheering be
came louder and louder and threat
ened not to stop. But it did stop nt
last and those who timed It said that
the ovation had lasted six minutes
ll was merely the first tribute of th"
enthusiasts. The crowd was recov
ering Itself for the event of the eve
ning. At S: 13 o'eloc' Senator Junes
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
of Arkansas, chairman of the national
committee, after several attempts to
call the audience to order, managed
to get enough quiet to announce that
he had been directed by the national
committee to nominate as chairman
of the meeting Hon. Elliott Danforth
of New York. Mr. Danforth was
cheered with hearty good will. He
told the people, that he knew they did
not want ..a speech and he was not
going to disappoint' them. He clostd
by presenting Governor ' William A.
Stone of Missouri, chairman of the
committee on notillcatlon.
There were more cheers as the tall,
spare form of Missouri's chief execu
tite rose from his place on the stand
and came forward to give formal noti
fication to Messrs. Bryan and Sewall of
their nomination by the Democratic
convention.
There were hisses when hespoke of
the British gold standard In force in
America, and more hisses when he
spoke of Marcus Aurellus Hannu. "Hit
him again," cried a voice In the gallery,
with reference to Mr. Hanna, and a
laugh followed. Some cries, seemingly
of protest, followed Governor Stone's
reference to Mr. Hanna, but they were
not marked. He found sympathy In
his audience with his reference to bond
issues of the administration. Toward
the end of his speech the audience began
tu grow Impatient and the spirit of the
assemblage was shown In cries of
"Bryan! Bryan!"
Ll'NU POWER TAXED.
When Governor Stone concluded with
the notillcatlon of his nomination to Mr.
Bryan, a man began to waVe a big
American flag over the latter's head.
People jumped to their feet and shouted
with a vim. Cheer, followed cheer and
for a minute or two pandemonium
reigned. The crowd went wild with en
thusiasm and lung power was drawn on
to nn alarming extent.
. Although the cheering thousands In
the hall were but of body and hoarse
of throat they rose as a man when
Chairman Danforth stepped forward
and Introduced Mr. Bryan. Then came
a demonstration that far exceeded
those that had followed the mention
of Bryan's name previously In the
evening. The scene presented was
stumgly reminiscent of the tumuli
that raged in the Coliseum at Chicago
when Bryan flnlhlied tin- effort that
established his reputation as a great
orator. .Men and women rose to. their
feet and cheeied. On the platfurm,
In the boxes, up In the galleries, peo
ple were shouting like mad.
Men waved their coats and tlnlr
hats, while women Muttered fans and
handkerchiefs as only women can.
The band struck up a lively ail- and
added to the din.
Mr. Bryan held up his hand for
silence. It was like an incentive to
yell louder. The crowd would not be
thwarted. Mr. Bryan made an effort
to tspeak. Ills voice was drowned in
a wild howl. Again he held up Ma
hund nnd again the cheering rcse In
its might. He sat down wearily, but
In a second junitwd up again, with
hand upraised or silence. The shouters
were getting weary by this time, but
the restraining hand made them take
a last' lease on their efforts.
Mr. Bryan stepped to the front and
centre of the speaker's platform. In his
hand he held a manuscript copy of his
speech. His face was pale, but he was
cool and calm. He began to speak
slowly but was obliged to stop for the
demonstration had sporadic spasms be
fore It died. There were hisses for quiet
before some of the wildly enthused ad
mirers, of the young candidate could be
subdued. He began again and a man In
the gallery gave another incentive to
enthusiasm by shouting: "three cheers
for Bryan."
THE SPEECH IN EARNEST.
Then he began in earnest. His voice
was Arm but It showed slgnu of hoarse
ness. Mr. Bryan read from manu
script, but occasionally be dropped
sheets of paper und spoke earnestly and
vehemently without looking at them,
During Mr. Bryan's speech he was fre
quently Interrupted by cheers of ap
proval. His reference to the income tax
was loudly cheered as was also his
reference to the sale of bonds.
The audience also manifested its
approval at various stages of his
free silver argument. When some
of the more telling points in this
discussion were reached the audience
yelled with all its might and the speaker
was compelled to wait until order was
restored. The speech was very well
received. When In concluding Mr.
Bryan said he expected the co-operation
of all present, a voice cried. ' you have
It," and the audience again roared In
unison. The peroration was spoken
without a glance at he manuscript und
for that ivason It had greater effect.
The closing words approached In ele
quent feeling some of the telling points
In th e Chicago speech, but It was
obvious that the wonderful delivery
was gone temporarily and there was
an unmistakable huskiuess in Mr.
Bryan's tones.
MR. BRYAN'S ADDRESd.
Mr. Chairman, gentlemen of the com
mittee and fellow citizens: I shall, at
a future day, and In a formal letter,
accept the nomination which Is now
tendered me by the notification com
mittee, and I shall at that time touch
upon the Issues presented by the plat
form. It is fitting, however, that at
this time, In the presence of those here
assembled. I speak at some length
In regard to the campuign' upon which
we are now entering. We do not un
derestimate the forces arrayed against
us nor,, .are we unmindful of the Im
portance of the struggle In which we are
engaged, but, relying for success upon
the righteousness of our cause, we shall
defend with all possible vigor the posi
tions taken by our party. We are not
surprised that some of our opponents,
In the absence of better argument, re
sort to abusive epithets, but they may
rest assured that no language, how
ever violent, no Invectives, however ve
hement, will lead us to depart a single
hair's breadth from the course marked
nut by the nalii nal convention. The cit
izen, either iml lie or private, who as
sails the '.'humcter and questions the
patriotism of the delegates assembled
in the Chicago convention assails the
character and questions he patriot
Ism of millions who have arrayed them
selves under the banner there raised.
It has been charged by men standing
high In business and political circles
that our platform Is a menace to pri
vate security and public safety, and
It has beeu asserted that those whom
I have the honor, for the time being
to represent, not only meditate an at
tack upon the rights of property but
are the foes both of social order and
national honor.
MISSION OK SI LVE KITES.
Those who stand upon the Chicago
platform are prepared to make known
and to defend every motive which In
fluences them, every purpose which an
imates them, and every hope which In
spires them. They understand the
genius of our institutions, they are
staunch supporters of the form or gov
ernment under which we live, und thev
build their faith upon foundations laid
by the fathers. Andrew Jackson has
stated with admirable clearness and
with an emphusis which caunni be sur
imssed. both the duty anil the sphere of
government. He said: "Distinctions in
society will always exist under evcrv
Just government. Equality of tal-nm
of education or of wealth cannot be pro
duced, by human institutions. The
full enjoyment of the gftH of heaven
and the fruits of superior Industry
economy and virtue, every man is equaliv
entitled to through protection by law '"
Ve yield to none In our devotion to the
doctrine Just enunciated. Our cam
paign has not for Its object the recon
struction of society. We cannot in
sure to the vicious the fruits f a virtu
ous life. We would not Invade the
home or the provident In order to suimiv
the wants of the spend thrift: we do
not propose to transfer the rewards of
Industry to the lup of indolence, prop
erty Is and will remain the stimulus
to em eavor and the compensation for

declaration of Independence, thai nil
men are created equal, but that does
not mean that all men are .or can be
equal In possessions. In ability or merit
It simply means that all shall stand

Pittsburg, Aug. 12. The Washington
correspondent of the Pittsburg Ix-acler
gives an interstiug review of the lolltl
cal situation as follows:
The Democrats of Pennsylvania are
figuring on electing eight It not more
members to the Fifty-first congress.
The present Democratic representa
tion in congress from that state Is ho
small that It Is scarcely perceptible to
the naked eye. In the Fifty-second
congress they hud eleven members aJid
In the Fifty-third they hud ten. but
In the present (Fifty-fourth) they have
but two, one of whom, Mr. Hart, of
the Klsrhth district, wus elected by the
narrow majority of 197, while his pro
deccHsor, Hon. Howard Mutchler, was.
chosen ut a special election to suci-eeed
his father, the late Hon. William Mut
chler by 4.C.S6 majority. The other iroem-
ber of the present congress. Hon. Con
stantine J. Erdmen, of the Ninth dis
trict, also had a comparatively clowe
call when the majority of the formerly
rock-ribbed Democratic district Is con
sidered. In 1SH2 he was elected by llt.dtl."
majority, but two yearn later he pulled
through by only 1,848 plurality. For
the first time in many years his own
county Lehigh went Republican, and
had It not been for old Berks, the
Gibraltar of Democracy, stundtng by
her guns, Mr. Erdman would have been
snowed under, an were many of his
colleagues In the Fifty-second and
Fifty-third, in districts generally con
ceded to be certainly Democratic.
The districts the Democrats expect
to carry this year on the free silver
platform are the Third, for many years
represented by the late Samuel J. Ran
dall; the Klghth. now represented by
Hon. Joseph J. Hart, Democratic; tho
Ninth, now represented by Hon. Con
stantine J. Erdman, Democratic; the
Kleventhk now represented by Hon.
Joseph A Scran ton; the Tweirth, now
Republican but represented by Hon.
William II. Hines, Democratic, in the
Fifty-third who was elected by the In
significant majority of 72 over the Re
publican and Prohibition candidates;
the Thirteenth, now represented, by
Hon. Charles H. Brumm, and who Is
again the Republican candidate; the
Seventeenth, now represented by Hon
Monroe II. Kulp, Republican, wtio
fealed Hon. Charles K. Buckalew, who
represented the district for many years
In the house, and from 186a to 18tj9 was
United Slates senator from Pennsyl
vania; the Nineteenth, which, for th
first time In many years, is now rep
rcsened by a Republican; the Twenty
sixth, the district In which Hon. Jo
seph C,. Sibley Is now- running on a
free silver platform, and which was
once represented by the late Hon.
William L. Si-ott, but Is now repres
ented by a Republican, . and the
Twenty-eighth, now represnted by
Hon William Curlile Arnold, a Re
publican. This district had Demo
cratic members In the Fifty-lbft,
Fifty-second and Fifty-third.
The Democratic leaders are confi
dent of carrying at least eight of the
ten above nientlned districts, and they
huve u righting chance In the Twenty-fo-urth,
which Is now represented by
Hon. Ernest F. AclrVson. Their only
hope for defeating Mr. Acheson lies
in the possibility of Chris. Magee op-...uiiiu-
him. which he has threatened
to do on account of Achesons alleged
treachery to the combine In Its tight
uirnin.it Oiirv last year. Previous to that
faimoua campaign Mr. Acheson nan
trained with the Pittsburg leader, ana
it um tl.r.iucrlit the effors of Mr. Ma
gee, so It Is claimed, that Mr. Acheson
was nominated in 1W. nmce men,
however, there has been an estrange
ment between these two gentlemen,
t.m It U doubtful If Mr. Magee will go
so far as to openly opsse Mr. Acheson
for re-election.
In the Third district It 1 believed
v..i tl.M Hnri-itv faction, now that the
cx-natlonal chairman Is out of active
...,hii. m will not onoose the nomination
of Mr MeAletr; hence his chances of
elec tion are considered very good, as
he is for sound money una win recei.e
the support of many Republicans.
ii. in i.nekHwaniiH the Republican
factions seem to be iu harmony this
year. Mr. William Connell. the Repub
li,.,. ti ni.iuliiee. wus chosen unanimously.
Just what ground upon which the
Democrats base their nope or currying
th,.t iiiHtih t this vear Is a little Indis
tinct to the average politician. In ad
dition to the perfect harmony which
seems to prevail 111 the Republican camp
up there, Mr. Connell Is a very popular
man with the people, irrespective or
umi'Iv lie has done more for the citv
of Scrnnton and the county of Lacka
wanna than any other dozen men in the
district, lie not only employs thou
sands of men, but he treats them well

at all times. He has been a working
mun himself. He has risen from the
ranks of a day laborer to the leading
and most Influential and substantial
citizen in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Although he has alwayB taken an ac
tive Interest In politics he has never
held office, lie has preferred to stand
aside and allow his friends to catch the
plums as they fell from the political
tree. Mr. Connell ought not to have uny
trouble In being elected by an over
whelming majority.
Over In the adjoining district Lu-Zj-i
lie the Republicans have a very
strong and popular candidate in the per
son of Hon. Morgan B. Williams. The
Democratic factions in that county are
at loggerheads over the nominee, and
w hichever whig wins the other Is likely
to be indifferent to the result, and the
Republican will be elected easily.
Schuylkill county the Thirteenth Is
a very mercurial district. It Is just as
liable tu go one way as another. It
would be no great surprise If It re-elected
Mr. Brumm or defeated him. It Is
one of the districts In which political
prophets do not often prophesy cor
rectly. The Seventeenth district Is naturally
Democratic, but if the Itepiiblicans re
nominate Congressman Kulp auduhe
Democrats do not use extremely good
Judgment In selecting a candidate the
betting ought to be In favor or the Re
publican nominee. Mr. Kulp Is very
popular and as a campaigner he has
rew equals. He likes a good fight.
The Nineteenth Is another usually
Democratic district, but that party Is
all split up over local issues and can
didates, and with a candidate as popu
lar with the people as Mr. Stable, the
present representative, the Republi
cans have more than a fighting chance
of winning.
Everybody knows "Uncle Joe" Sib
ley is u vote-getter when he goes after
them In dead earnest. He Is neither
Democrat nor Republican. He usually
runs on a platform or his own construc
tion, but this year he Is riding on the
rree silver wagon with Bryan, and is
making- his campaign on that Issue. He
says he Is going to be elected, and his
opponent will have to hustle early and
late to beat him.
The chances are considered about
even In the Twenty-eighth district be
tween Mr. Arnold anil, his Democratic
opponent, whoever he may be. The dis
trict of late years has been Democratic,
and Mr. Arnold, It is claimed by the
Democrats, was elected by a weak op
ponent and Indlfferen'.-e to the ticket on
the part of Democrats.
Arter going over the state carefully
and allowing the Democrats everything
wnnin reason ft is hardly .air to the Re
publicans to concede to the opposition
more than half a dozen Democratic rep
resentatives in the jiext congress from
Pennsylvania. The chances are they
will have less than that number.
MARTIN IS EXCITED.
Not Allowed at Present to Put in a De
fense in the Case Against the Mutual
Automatic Telephone Co.
Philadelphia, Aug. 12. There was an
Interesting scene this afternoon before
the senatorial Investigating committee
which Is making nn Inquiry Into the
munclpal affairs or Philadelphia. The
committee met In special session at the
request or ex-National Republican Com
mitteeman David Martin, who with
State Senator Charles A. Porter, was
recently charged by witnesses with aid
lug In the alleged fraudulent passage hy
city councils of an ordinance Tor the
Mutual Automutic Telephone company,
aqd who asked that he be allowed to re
fute the testimony. It was charged
that Messrs. Martin and Porter were
each given blocks of ID2! shares or the
company's stock.
Mr. Martin appeared with his coun
sel, but the committee refused to per
mit him to present a defense through
an attorney. Then Mr. Martin arose
and hwiU-dly declared that he con
sidered the action of the romniittee
an omtruge upon him. He declined
to take the stand unless allowed to
have counsel, nnd, ns he and his at
torney withdrew, Lawyer Pet Ml, th
committee's Inquisitor, enlivened mat
ters by niinmincing that he wouM
subpoena Mr. Martin to-morrow. The
committee adjourned to meet n.t the
call of the chulr.
MANITOBA'S P00K HARVEST.
In Striking Contrast lo the Bounte
ous One of Lust Year.
Winnipeg, .Man.. Aug. 12. Manitoba
is almost on the eve of her harvesting
seasou uf 18M. This time a year ago
the province presented the appearance
of an Kidorado. Acres upon acres of
her rertile plains were teeming with a
wheat crop, the most bounteous In her
history; her furiners were Jubilant over
the prospect, and the eyes or Canada
were turned to the endless pi all ies or
the west.
Today the situation Is changed. For
weeks arter the harvest season of 1S9r,
the Canadian Pacific railway was taxed
beyond its limits to carry out the great
crop. This year little. If any, wheat
will go eust for export.
