D. Wales Commends Work of District Attorney Clark and Urges Voters to Support Comptroller Glynn An enormous crowd greeted Wil-, liam Jennings Bryan, Democratic candidate for President, upon his arrival in this ety a.t 6 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The demonstration WaS one of the largest ever given in this in honor of the candidate for any political office. Mr. Bryan has been in Binghamton many times, his last visit being about one year ago, when he made a brief address at the Arlington.

This time the crowd was 90 boisterous that It was difficult for the police to keep order and at one time Democratic enthusiasm made it impossible for the speaker to proceed. Every point he made in his address was greeted with roars of applause. Alderman Robert S. Powers called the meeting at Democratic headquarters to order and A. D.

Wales acted as chairman. Mr. Bryan's address in part was as follows: "My friends, this is an unusual campaign in many respects. In the first place, it is unusual in that in every State in this Union the Democratic party is gaining and the Republican party is in this it is a remarkable situation. Heretofore, we have had ganing in one section and another party gaining in another section, but now everywhere, from the lakes to the gull and from the Atlantic to the Pacite, the trend is toward the Democratie party.

How do you account for it? There is but one way to account for it, and that is that after 12 years 01 office holding, after 12 years of political power, the Republican party has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and its record is not approved of by the American people. "There is another remarkable fact in this campaign and that is, that our recruits are coming from every occupation. Heretofore we have had campaigns in which some one business would be leaning toward one party, and others in other occupations leaning another direction, but there is no department of human industry in this country that does not show Ca tenantoward the Democratic party. laboring men and you will find men supporting our ticket with a unanimity not known before in 40 years. Go among the farmers and you will find that the gain is the same there.

Two polls have been taken recently. One by the New York World in the city of New York, and one by Chicago Record in the State of Iowa, and it is an interesting thing that both of them show practically the same trend. In the city of New York, according to the World's poll, the Democratic vote this year was almost 50 cent. greater than the Democratic vote four years ago, and the same result WaS shown in Iowa; nearly 50 per cent. increase in the poll taken.

"Here are two sections, almost 1,5001 miles apart, one in the city and one in the country, and yet the trend is not only in the same direction but about the same, nor is it confined to the laboring men and the farmers. Go into the cities you will find that the trend of the business men, the merchants and manufacturers is toward our party. Go among the professional men and you find same. Go among the college professors, it is the same. Go among the clergy and the tendency is still the same.

There must be some great cause at work to create a condition like this. And, my friends, when you take these facts and consider them you can understand why the Prestdent orders every member of his cabinet to go out on the firing line. "Now, what is the cause that is at work? believe, my friends, that I state the cause to man visited me last Spring, a framer. started to leave he have been a Republican, but I am going to vote the Democratic ticket this I asked him to give me his reasons and he said: 'The fact is, I have been gradually changing. I voted against you in 1896, but I really felt that year that 1 ought to vote for you.

I have been gradually changing, and the thing that has at last brought me out of the Republican party is that I believe the great corporations have too much influence over that "And, my friends, if you talk to people today you will find as the gequel to this cause that this change is due to the domination of the Republican party by the great favor seeking corporations. These corporations that party and they have made it detrimental to the interests that have come up from the people. The Bible speaks of the pestilence that walketh in darkness. If I were asked to make an application of that, or Illustrate it at this time, I would describe the secret contributions from the corporations as the pestilence that walketh in darkness. We have inaugurated a new era.

We declare in our platform that contributions should be made public. I am glad it is in our platform. 1 went to Washington last Winter and went before the committee of the House and tried to get the House to pass that measure. Had the House and Senate done it and the President signed it, it would have been a victory for the Republican party. I knew It when the passage of the bill, but I am more interested in good measures than I am in the victory of one party.

But the Republican Senate and House were 80 controlled by these favor seeking corporations that that legislation was defeated. Then it was presented in the convention in Chicago and there it was voted down and the vote was nine to one against it. When that Republican convention by a vote of nine to one turned down the proposition in favor of honesty in politics those leaders betrayed nine-tenths of the Republican voters. "The Republican voter As well as' the Democratic voter wants to let light in on everything they do; the Republican voter wants honest politics, wants honest policies as a mothod of giving honest politics. but that convention, made up of leaders of the Republican party, refused to let light be thrown on their campaign transac-! tions.

Can you explain If you it? cannot, I can. And I get the explanation from the Bible, and, my friends. it fits the situation as well The as any Bible quotation ever used. Bible says that some people love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. That is the explanation of the refusal of the Republican leaders allow light to be thrown on their to campaign transactions.

Mr. Taft was not willing to stand on that platform convention had declared for after 6 ACCUSED OF A DARING HOLD-UP ON WATER ST. Luke Barnes and John J. Donahue Arrested by Detective Stephenson CHARGED WITH RELIEVING MAN OF $41 AND A WATCH Accused of a bold and daring holdup, Luke Barnes and John J. Donahue were arrested this morning by Detective Robert Stephenson after Alonzo T.

Russell of State street identifled them the men who robbed him of $41 and a watch valued at $15 on Saturday night. The men were arraigned before Judge Wales at noon today on the charge of robbery in the first degree and entered pleas of not guilty. They demanded a preliminary examination, which was set down for Nov. 4 at 9:30 o'clock in the morning and in default of were remanded until that time. The ball was fixed at $1,000 in each case.

The prosecution was represented by District Attorney Clark. The accused did not have counsel. Barnes and Donahue claimed to have no knowledge concerning the alleged occurence. The former declared that he could easily establish an alibi, accounting for his movements during the entire night. Both are young men, well built and fairly well dressed.

The police say that Barnes has a record. Mr. Russell, the complainant, told the police that as he was leaving the "Farmers' Retreat," on Water street Saturday was accosted by the man whom he identified today as one of his assailants. The young man gave him a cordial greeting and said his name was Stratton. "You remember me, don't you? My name is Stratton," the young man said, according to Russell's story.

"I don't believe I recall you now, although I knew the Stratton boys at one time," replied Russell. wells "Stratton invited Russell to go into 'Retreat' and have a drink. Russell entered the place with the young man and while they were inside, the latter, said, called Donahue on 'phone. Another man joined the two later and all lined up and had some ale. Russell was asked to pay the bill and rather than have any trouble with the young men he complied with the request.

Then Russell started for home and was followed, he says, by the men. On State street, near Eldridge, says they closed in on him and after slugging him, forcibly relieved him of his wad and watch. Barnes and Donahue were located in a Water street resort this forenoon and their alleged victim pointed them out the officer, declaring that they were the hold men. He was positive in his identification of the men and Detective Stephenson took them to headquarters. The stolen watch was not among their possessions, nor did they have any money.

Rose Photographic Studio, 65 Court A Case Near Syracuse in the Tonic Treatment Which Restored the Patient to Complete Health. I leave you to decide whether he would declared for publicity it our convention had not. But he came out and said he: favored publicity, but he did not want anything said about it until after tion.

We want it before election. What 1s the diference? Why if you know beforehand you can take advantage of the situation. If you don't find out until afterwards you can just regret that you did not know before. does Mr. Taft want to delay? Why, says that if the people knew, there might be a false 1m- pression created in regard to contributtons, but, my friends, if he wants publication afterwards, won't a false impression be created then? But there is the difference, it won't cost any votes to have false impressions created after election.

"His objection means this; that he is afraid that if you knew beforehand where the money is coming from you would not vote the Republican ticket. What does that mean? It means that if you do vote the Republican ticket you will be sorry when you do find out. This 1g a question that I believe appeals to the conscience of the conscientious; to the moral sentiment of the moral, and I believe It accounts for the forward trend in favor of our party. "In our convention we demanded election of Senators by the direct vote of the people. The Republican convention repudiated it.

My friends, the Republican leaders refused this legislation, although it has been introduced by five Houses and nearly two-thirds of the States in the Union. These Republican leaders rejected the doctrine, although the Democrats in their convention adopted it by a unanimous vote. "I give this Illustration to show that these Republican leaders do not respond to the sentiment of the rank and file of their party. "Twelve years ago I said that if I were elected President I would appoint an Attorney General who would enforce the law against the trusts, and if the laws we had were not sufficient I would recommend new laws that would be sufficient, and if the Supreme Court held, that, under the Constitution, we could not enact laws the protection of the people against the trusts, I would mend an amendment to the Constitution that would authorize the people to protect themselves. "That was 12 years ago and at that time we could not get the Republican leaders to admit that there were any the country.

My friends, the trusts are either good or bad. We they are bad. If they are bad they ought to be remedied, and yet the Republican leaders have no remedy. "I remind you that your Governor cast out and ridiculed our of overthrowing the trusts, our plan of preventing private monopoly, but he no piano of his own. No Republican has a plan.

And yet your Governor, who ridicules the plan of limiting the amount of business that the corporations could do to 50 per cent. of its product, is the very man who recommended limiting the business an insurance company can do to seven and one-half per cent. and not 50 per cent. I shall refuse to discuss remedies with any man until he admits there is a disease to remedy and shows some interest in the people that suffer from the disease. The Republicans say, 'Don't prevent trusts.

Create them and take after them and try to kill them after you catch them. They have been trying this plan for 11 years and we have five times the number of trusts now that We had then. "We want to get the axe under the tree. I believe that the American people agree with us that something ought to be done on the trust question that would make it impossible for private monopoly to exist in the United States. "And now, my friends, there is another question, the labor question, and this has become acute partly because the Republican candidate has had to spend so much time in explaining his record.

The President has come to! his relief by deposing Gompers and appointing Knox as labor leader in his place. If the President could appoint a Governor for the Philippines, he thinks he can appoint anyone to any place. And, my friends, I have been expecting to see a message from him deposing Democratic candidate and appointing some man in my place. "There is Just one part of that letter to Mr. Knox that deserves attention, He says he is willing to do anything for the laboring man except to do wrong for him and he says he will not do wrong for anyone.

We must all approve of this determination of the President not to do wrong. and if he knew his fellow men better he would not feel so lonesome in that position, because a great many don't want to do anything wrong. I know a good many, almost as anxlous as the President not to do wrong. but not very many who are as sure as he is that they cannot do wrong. The President's statement is an insult to the People who differ from him, for he assumes that every man who does not agree with him is doing wrong.

We believe that there ought, to ba a Department of Labor with a Secretary of Labor in the cabinet. The President thinks that this 19 wrong. We think it is right, ani I believe that the American people agree with us that the time has come tu give labor this representation in the President's counsel, and if I am President I want a representative of the wage earner in my cabinet that I may consult with him on questions of importance to laboring men. We believe that the law against trusts should be amended as to protect the labor organization. The President thinks this is wrong: but, my friends, we Insist that they ought to have the same lan the working man that they make for others.

A man, aye, even 3 laboring man, has heart and brain an soul and ought not to be degraded the level of dollars and cents. We bellove that the writ of injunction shot be limited SO that it not be traged in the labor dispute such as would justify accusing the laboring of of Iran contempt not committed in the presence lot the vourt. The President thinks this is wrong. We think it is right land I a majority of the Amerpeople will agree with 11S. trial by Jury, wherever the penalty is a tine or imprisonment or both.

We should have the same rights applied to the laboring as to anyone else accused of 11 the jury system can be applied fer the benefit of the convicted thief, it ought to be applied to the laboring man who has never been convicted of Dyspepsia depriving should the not be neglected by body of to nourishment it grows stead.ly prop wOre ruin Neither the stimulating medicines, already weak stomach whit should making it work beyond be used, nor pre-digested strength which do not excite a of foods tive fluids and by disuse the digest ach to become weaker. cause Nowhere stoma tonic treatment with Dr. is Pink Pills more clearly useful.

These are the principles that we stand for; these are the things that we are told are wrong by the President, who is so sure that he will wrong for anybody. If this is true how can Judge Taft deny it to the laboring man? "There is another question. It is the protection of deposits in banks. I believe the time has come to increase the security SO that when a man' puts money in a bank he can get it out again. Why should a man be in fear in regard to the safety of his threaten panics.

Mr. Taft says that Just as long as his voice holds out he is going to assert the fact that my election will bring a panic. Mr. Taft is old enough to know difference between a fact and an opinion. We will illustrate the difference.

If you tell me that Mr. Taft is a candidate, I say that is a fact. If you say Mr. Taft will be elected President I say that is an opinion. I can testify as an expert because I have known two cases where I have had occasion to distinguish.

When I say there is a panic, that is a fact. And when Mr. Taft says that if I am elected there will be one that is an opinion. And I answer 'just one panic at a time Mr. Get rid of the one you have now.

Twelve years ago we had a panic. It came under a Democratic administration and they said it was a Democratic panic. Every Republican said and they presented Mr. McKinley the advance agent of prosperity to lead the country out of the Democratte panic. "But times have changed now.

The Republican party is in power and there is a panic, and I now appear as the advance agent of prosperity to lead the country back to peace. We have had three panics in 48 years. Every panic came under high tariff; under the Morrell bill in 1873; under the McKinley bill in 1893, and now under the Dingley bill. Three panics and three high tariffs, and now they say reduce the tariff and you will have panics. my friends, if Mr.

Taft says my election will bring panics, I have al right to say that his election will not I prevent panics. I have a right to ask Mr. Taft to give a bond that his election will prevent panics. "It he can prevent panics, why did he not tell Mr. Roosevelt last Fall not to let the panic come? If he can protect you after election.

why did he not protect you before? Why did they not postpone the panic a few months at least, so that it could be my panic? I don't know of any way in which they can throw this panic on us, except to say that the people decided last Fall to elect a Democratic dent this Fall and had the pante advance. They have never accused us of having more than one panic in each administration. and if this is my panic then why not let me go ahead and have the blessings that go with it? "But, my friends, I have now overrun my time, but I want to say in conelusion a word about the candidate on the other side. What are you going to do when the President dies and he cannot tell you who to have for Presldent? The Presidency belongs to the people. and no one has a right to make a political football of it.

was the office held by Washington. Jefferson and Lincoln. and if I manishould get it I want it with all the halo which they have cast about it. "It should not be smirched by being drawn into political conflicts. "And I say to President Roosevelt: 'Hand off.

Let Mr. Taft and me fight accumulations? If a man saves a little each week and lays It up for rainy day, he is in fear that it will all be swept away from by the manipulations of the bankers. We believe that the banks today are not secure enough and the way to make them secure is for them to contribute a little tax on their deposit to a fund and guarantee your savings. Less than one-tenth of one per cent. of all deposits would have paid all the losses for the past 40 years.

The banks get rich on your money; now let banks give you security that you will get your money. When all banks have to stand banks you will have bankers willing to have ba them secured. "Our plan is to make it a criminal offence to violate the law and then if the banker violates it let the banker gO to the penitentiary and let the bank go 01 doing business. There is no penalty today except the suspension of the bank and this suspension falls on the depositor. We want legislation that will stop gambling by bank officials who often commit suicide.

Protect the bankers from temptations and sav- a majority of the homes from mourning and sorrowing. "Now, about the tariff. We want the tariff reduced and the Republi-' cans say they want tariff revision. What is revision? Up, or down, or sideways? Revision has heights and depths and breadths and everything but certainty. You can get on a revision train, pay fare clear through to the last station, and they can put you off at the first station, and that is revision.

You can't get any rebate because that is revision. "We say reduce the tariff, and they cannot answer our argument. They threaten panics. Mr. Taft says that FR.

DWYER TALKS ON TEMPERANCE Outlines Position of Catholic Church Regarding Question Rev. Ambrose M. Dwyer, pastor of St. James' Roman Catholic Church, preached a sermon yesterday that is said by the large assemblage which heard him to have been one of the most eloquent and strongest appeals for good citizenship and temperance lever coming from his lips. He faced his words by saying that he spoke without any feeling of malice towards anyone, having only charity for those who did not understand him or the position of the church.

Father Dwyer called attention to the fact that the Roman Catholic Church had, from the earliest days, been one the most a earnest and swerving advocates and supporters of temperance, and that sobriety and an upright life in all. things was one of its underlying principles. The meaning of temperance was explained, with the difference between fanaticism and bigotry, which assumed that unless agreeing with the belief of some "holier-than-thou' individual there could be no good on earth. The constant custom of such extremists to hold Catholics up as especially given 'Ito intemperance and other evils was commented on as misleading and unworthy of attention, as the life of every constant was a refutation of the charge. Catholics were urged to live true to the teachings of the church.

To follow the temperate and upright course all faithful members of the regard to the empty criticisms of the church always tried to do, without 0 self-exalted and ignorant, who do not try or care to understand the church and its precepts.

WHISKEY FOR RHEUMATISM The increased use of whiskey for rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical fraternity.

It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly.
