Show Bry ins Wonderful Wonder oJ Tour in New Neat York ts JULIAN HAWTHORNE in Philadelphia North American McKinley Republican i it j jt t Julian Hawthorne in Philadelphia North American Rep General Conditions are understood to have favored the Republicans ReI during the last four years good crops pros prosperous prosperous industries and Imperial glories But the weather v eather has taken up Br Bryan an anon on this trip the Indian summer in its glorious perfection is is traveling with him and spreading forth a glorious phantasmagoria of river and mountain and sunny sky and the crowding and enthusiastic audiences who ho are on hand to meet rim him lm at every stopping place seem eem to tv elcome welcome him rim as if ir he was the incarnation and symbol of all the beauty and beneficence of nature The scenes recall to me the similar ones of four years jears ears ago but the temper of these Ne New York audiences is differ different different different ent from the west in 1896 1396 The latter gave the he impression of a forlorn hope a 30 blind bUnd ng at some s me blessing which was as desired d sired rather than expected Now audiences seem s m to show the results of the political education of the past four years ears They The have hae learned to know Bryan and what he stands for and no now instead of hop hoping hoping ing lug against a hope they have bave a bearing of confidence co as of those who know what they want and believe that they will get it The animation and cheer cheerfulness cheerfulness cheerfulness of the atmosphere seem to be e reflected In the people and they look forward to a change from Republican Republicanism ism to Democracy as one welcomes sunshine and freedom m after a long season sea season season son of imprisonment and gloom In spite of the labors of yesterday esterday j Bryan BryaR is In excellent condition today and his voice rings out over the multitudes clear and distinct If there be any anything an anything thing in speechmaking which he did not know kno four years ago he has bas learned it since Into these little five or allowances he packs an immense deal of or political wisdom and argument and he also puts In a sprinkling of those felicitous apothegms for which he has bas become famous These points are taken with extravagant extravagant gant bRnt delight by the hearers and the responses they make show that they have already had their own thoughts on the subject and appreciated the happy manner in which their leader formulated them And this is very different from four years ago I can attempt no explanation of this change in face of or the supposed apathy of which we have ha heard h ard so much But I 1 Itell Itell tell what I see and hear From all I have heard about heaven said Bryan Br an at Tarrytown the rich and the poor arc are to t live there together forever And perhaps I 1 may maydo maydo do tio some good od it If I can helD help to make some of them known to one another here ber so that when they get there they wont have to be Introduced This hit the thousands of workingmen who iho were gazing up at him In the right place and the cheering was frantic Mayor Jones of or Toledo itS s on the train and Is a center cen r of interest in himself He has a lovely face with the frankness frank frankness frankness ness and simplicity of a child and he believes in the whole human race not in any part of it Uto to the exclusion e of others othes He is an idealist and does dO S not object to being called d one Any of you fellows can wait for the millennium if you want to said he this morning but Im having mine right here and now The mayor is making speeches occasionally ag we go along and is ajl ae a effective in his way as Bryan In his He talks to an audience just as he talks to friends at a table He addresses this man and that in a personal way which immediately wins him and a baby eby could understand understated what he says No one can listen to him hill without feeling better happier and more courageous I r have no party part he says They may ma call e me m a Republican or a Democrat Demo Dem Democrat crat I want everybody eve body to be happy and free fr and aDd the parties can have h e the rest At Fishkill the party was ferried across the river and both Mayor Jones and Bryan addressed a crowd estimated ed at There were Republicans among them when the party landed l but to judge by the demonstrations none were left when it went away I never voted the Democratic ticket in m my life said one old gentleman but I am going to vote it next nest month monthS 4 0 S C CI I 1 lived in this neighborhood about twenty years ears ago said Mayor MaJor Jones In his speech sie h I was just as honest then as I am now and I was then th n voting with the Republicans The only difference in me me now Is that I am more intelligent and no novt A I seem to be more with the Democrats Such sayings 5 make the people laugh and also think If Mayor MaJor Jones had a particle of ambi ambition ambition ambition tion and a little less Jess optimistic phil philosophy philosophy philosophy he could co ld easily easU become a great figure in our our political life but as he says hI I shall never neer be a 8 candidate of any organization for a high office be 00 becauSe cause I dont see what right any or organization has to make me its candidate candi candidate candIdate date I should want vant to be chosen di directly directly directly by the people themselves and then I could serve serva them I give space to the mayor maJor because his hh personality is less known than Bryans Baans and is intrinsically in iR intrinsically of great interest There are indications too that people of o 0 his sort are on any anybody anybody body any more he h says I find when I get close up to a man I thought I hated bated that he IK is people the same as I Iam Iam Iam am I hate hae hale and love love loe It is remarkable that two men like Bryan Brian and Jones should be together on the train and yet it is not remarkable either for or like Jike seeks like Uk and in oer certain certain tain essential ways was the two are very much alike aUke The most elaborate demonstration n of
