GREETING OF THE "WILD EAST."
Madison Square uaraen Quickly Filled
With an Enthusiastic Crowd, Many of
Whom Had Awaited for Hours
the Opening of the Doors.
New Your, Aug. 18. That tho interest
of tho wholo city nf Now York win fo
cusod yestordny upon Madison Square
Gnrdcu, whero William J. Bryan, of No
hrnska, nml Arthur Powull, of Malno,
were to bo fonnnlly notified of their nom
ination by tho Democratlo party for the
offices of president and vice president ol
tho United States, was proven by the
crowds which early In tho afternoon lo
ptan to coino under tho trees In Madison
Square, which'by 6 o'clock had been rein
forcod by hundreds, at 0 o'clock was mul
tiplied to expectant thousands, and before
7 swelled to a straining, clamoring army.
On this sultry night tho wide oval of the
Garden was a furnnco In which 20,000 were
to suffor a fiery torture for their enthu
siasm's sake Tho glass had been removed
from tho aero of skylights in tho roof nnd
shoots of canvas hung below. Tho center
of tho groat floor space was furnished with
several hundred chairs for tho leaders ol
tho local Democracy, nnd the boxos rising
In triplo tiers at both ouds of tho chairs
were resorved for tho Tammany chiefs.
Tho most distinguished Democrats, mem
bers of tho national commltteo and of the
notification commltteo nnd their frlonde
wero assigned to tho Miction of tho lower
balcony rising from tho flag covered plat
form.
Tho first comers to tho hall wero pla
toons of police-, who wore followed by two
or threo hundred reserved scat holders. At
7 o'clock tho doors wero opened for thoso
with tickets, and they came with a roar,
spreading over tho lloor like the unchain
lng of u flood of water, climbing over
chairs nnd obstructions like an infantry
chargo. Tho roar and tho rush was re
peated with increased intensity when the
doors wero opened to tho goneral public,
but desplto tho vast crowd that endeav
ored to light their way Into tho building,
thoro was no serious accident. Tho police
promptly closod tho doors when tho cu
paclty of tho hall had been taken.
Tho first real demonstration of tho night
was given to tho wife of tho presidential
candidate. It was 8 o clock when a police
man In tho doorway under tho stand was
hoard calling, "Muko way for Mrs. Uryan.
Sho was on tho arm of William P. St.
John, treasurer of tho Democratlo na
tional committee. As Mrs. Uryan swept
her eyes across tho hall they had a woary
look and her fnco scorned vory pale. It
lighted with a brilliant smllo at tho roar
which swopt across tho floor and onward
through tho galleries, and which grow
Into a swelling cheor and roso and foil in
half a dozen waves. Twice Mrs. Ilrynn
bowed to tho right nnd left and then sho
was seated. Mrs. Bryan was followed
Into tho box by Mrs. Bland, with Goorgo
H. Macy, of Now York; Mrs. Governor
etono, with l . 1). Cninpuu, of Minneap
olis, and Mrs. Macy, with Clark Howell,
of Atlanta.
Following camo Mr. Ilrynn on tho arm
of Chairman Jamos K. Jones, followed by
Mr. Sownll with Governor btono, of Mis
sourl, and by Mr. Blond with Mr. Elliott
Danforth. As tho smooth-shaven, strong-
faced young statesman from tho west
stood at the front of tho platform a Hag
was raised and waved just above him In
tho gallery, so that its folds swept down
as a background for his form nnd made
him tho ono llguro of tho assemblage,
Tho cheor that broko forth was of tre
mendous force. Certainly its recipient
had novor heard Us like but onco before,
and that other was tho cheer which fol
lowed tho closo of his now famous speech
before tho Chicago convention. This
time It was fans hats and handkerchiefs
that fluttered In tho thick sultry heat,
nnd tho cry was "Bryan I Bryan I" re
peated until tho great crowd wearied.
Tho condidnto bowed soveral times, em
bracing the different points of tho compass
in his acknowledgment. It was only when
he had sat down at tho right of tho stand
that tho people took notice of the men
who nccompaniod him. Foremost among
them was Arthur Sowall, tho candldnto
for tho vice presidenoy. There wus Gov
ernor Stono, of Missouri, n thin faced man,
ministerial in his bearing, nnd tho presid
ing officer, Hon. Elliot Danforth, ex-trenv
urer of tho state of Now York. Among
the prominent Democrats nrrayed back of
tho platform wero Senators Blunchard of
Louisiana, Gorman of Maryland, Roach
of North Dakota, Tillman of South Caro
lina, Congressmen Richardson and Mc
Mlllln of Tonnosseo, Livingstone of Geor
gia, Rusk of Maryland, Governor Hogg of
Texas, and many others who had borne
parts In tho convention which nominated
Mr. Bryan.
It was 8:20 whon Senator Jonos stopped
to the front of the box nnd lifted his hand
for order, Tho response camo in tho form
of calls for Uryan. After a moinont tho
senator wus nblo to hear himself intro
duce Mr. Danforth as tho chairman of tho
meeting, Mr. Danforth, In his turn,
pounded with a gavel on the rail, nnd in
bis turn was showored with calls for
Bryan. Mr. Danforth's spooch was nbrlof
one, a mere formal Introduction of Gover
nor Stono. Governor Stono read his no
tification spooch from printed slips, but
his volco carried almost to tho ends of tho
hall. Ills statements that tho last na
tional convention was convened under tho
call of tho Democratlo national commit
too, was n truly Democratlo convention
and evolved a platform of Democratlo
polloy, woro received with applause, whllo
his referonco to tho Republican platform
us an upholdor of foretfcn policy called
forth hlssos.
Turning to tho presidential candidate,
who sat nt his elbow, as ho finished his
speooh, tho Missouri governor placed In the
Nobraskan'shand aroll of parchraoutbear
Ing the notification proper. Ten minutes
of chaos followed. Mr. Bryan stood alono
at tho front of tho stniro with outstretched
hand asking lor sironco.whllo his audience
stood on their chairs cheering fiercely and
repoatcdly and shouting his namo in
chorus. Alter threo or four minutes of
this sccno Mr. Bryan, tired of waiting for
un opportunity to speak, sank into his
chair and tho band broko into a patriotic
air. Thon Mr. Danforth camo to tho res
cuo with his gavel and finally the spoech
wns begun.
Talking from railroad trains had told
plainly on tho candidate's voice, ns) Its
nusKinoss was apparent, and It could not
begin to (111 tho hall until ho warmed up
to his task. Unlike his Chicago speech
Mr. Bryan roud this address from the man-
nsorlpt. Ho spoko slowly, end was fre
quently Interrupted with volleys of choors.
Mr. Bryan spoko for ono hour and fifty
minutes, nnd tho hands of tho clock
pointed to 10-85 whon ho flnlshod tho elo
quont peroration addressed to tho citizens
of Now York, spooking with uplifted arm
nnd with manuscript thrown nsldo. Tho
terrlflo heat had mado tho upper gnllerlos
almost uuendurnblo and before Mr. Bryan
had finished a majority of their occupants
had defllod through tho doors.
Candidate Sewall was vory heartily
cheered whon ho stepped forward, after
ho, with "Silver Dick" Bland nnd other
lenders on tho stage, had grasped Bryan's
nana in congratulation. Mr. hownll
makes no pretentious to oratorical ability,
and although his volco might fill an ordi
nary hull, It wus hardly equal to Madison
Square Garden, with hundreds trampling
about tho floors. His words wero few.
and at 10:53 Chairman Danforth declared
tho meeting adjourned, while silver en
thusiasts wero calling for Williams, tho
young whlto metal advocate from .Massa
chusetts. In Union square, facing tho Bartholin
hotel, occurred just uftor tho adjourment
of tho meeting at Madison Square Gar
den, a scene that outdid in excitement
thoso that took pluco In the hull. Tho
crowd of 8,000 or 10.000 people who had
boon oxcludod from tho hall saw tho candi
date emerge, nnd In un Instant thcro be
gan a mad rush for places of vuntugo, It
having bet-omo known that Mr. Iiryun
would speak from the hotel. Tho police
seemed powerless to stop the crowd. On
they rushed, stopping tho cublo cars and
carriages, falling ovor ouch other In their
mad llluht and screamlnir for Brvan.
When Mr. Bryan stepped upon tho bal
cony there wns a roar of applause from nt
least 10,000 throats. When ho secured or
der he spoko In a cloar, linn volco, saying
that when ho left home ho told thopeoplo
that ho was coming to open the cnnmilgn
in what was thought to be tho heart of
tho enemy's country. "Our hopes havo
been realized sooner than wo expected,
ho said, "und wherever tho enemy goes
after this ho will bo in our country, no
mutter whero ho is."

AN ARREST FOLLOWS IN THE CASE
Tho Original Owner Claims '.he Bonds Were
Held in Trust for Him and He Never
Assigned or Transferred Them.
What the Accused Says.
Justice Lawlor spent a couple of hours to
day trying to decide tho ownership to ?800 in
bonds of tho Mahanoy City Water Company.
Wasll Semula, of Park Place, first appeared
as plaintiff against Stephen Gsnrney to re
cover ?200 in cash which ho alleged was
given as a loan. The trial of this case was
of short duration and judgment was ren
dered in favor of the plaintiff for tho full
amount claimed with interest nnd costs. Tho
defendant entered an appeal and imme
diately after was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by Senium, who alleged that some
time in 1603 ho gavo to Gsarney $300 in bonds
of tho Mahanoy City Water Company in
trust for the complainant and that Gsarney
feloniously appropriated the bonds to Ids own
use. While on tho witness stand Semula
swore that ho gavo tho bonds to Gsarney for
safo keeping and every six mouths Gsarney
paid him the inteicst on the bonds, until tho
first of last July, when ho claimed to havo
no money and refused to surrender tho
bonds. Upon application of defendant's
counsel, M. M. llurko, Esq., postponed tho
case until next Tuesday evening for final
hearing. Mr. Burko said ho would bring tho
secretary of tho water company and tho
necessary books to show that tho bonds wero
transferred to Gsarney, and not placed in
trust.
Tho defendant was formerly a resident of
Delano. Ho now owns the saloon at tho
northwest corner of Main and Laurel streets,
as well as tho property in which it is located.
Ho claims that Semula loaned him r"00,
giving him $200 in cash and $300 ill water
bonds. This monoy and the bonds were
turned ovor to P. J. Ferguson, of town,
when tho latter sold the property to Gsarney.
Tho latter claims that in return for the loan
of $500 Semula was to reeeivo one-lmlf tlio
profits of tho saloon in addition to five per
cent, per annum interest. Gsarney says ho
never held the bonds in trust and that the
interest ho paid Semula every six months did
not come from tho water company as interest
on tho bonds, hut camo out of Gsarney's
pocket as interest on tho loan. Gsarney also
claims that tho bonds were assigned and
transferred to P. J. Ferguson with Semula's
consent. Gsarney admits that Semula has
received no profits from tho saloon. He says
business is so bail that ho has not been able to
pay oven the interest on tho loan. P. J
Ferguson is in Atlantic City, and therefore
his story could not bo secured as to how tho
bonds camo into ins possession.
