Ball Game and Halloon Ancennlon Aside from the races the most notable events of the afternoon were the foot ball game between the Blacksburg (Va.) team - and the North Carolina Agricul tural and Mechanical College teams. and the balloon anscension by Prof. Bobby Leach and his little dog. Th? foot ball game was witnessed by a very large crowd of people who thoroughly enjoyed the contest. A report of the giune i-s published elsewhere in this issue of The Post. The balloon sasceusion took place in the midst of the foot game and was in every way successful, the professor and his canine companion ascending probably 4 or 500 feet, and making their descent with perfect 'safety. iTIanr Sources ofAmunemeut An at tract5 on which w:as enjoyed by practically all the people on the grounds at one time or another during the day was the free dog .show in front of the grand stand. Then there were the mid way attractions " innumerable, all of which were m full blast and liberally patron ized until late in the afternoon. In fact the crowds of people seemed loathe to leave the -'midway which has been such an inexhaustable source of fun during the entire fair week, realizing, as they did, that sooii after the fair ground gates closed for the night many of the most popular attractions would. ias it were, "Fold their tents as the Arabs and as silently steal away. They were not wrong in their expectations either, for those who were last to pass down this wide avenue which has been trod by so many thousand people during the past few days saw the flaming signs being hauled down and tents being low ered and others will come down this morning, their fakir proprietors prepar ing to leave for pastures green. It is hardly probable though that they will pitch their tents in more verdent past ures soon than the midwav of the great North Carolina fair for 1000 has been.

He then contrasted his reception in New J ersey at this time wuth the reception of 1806, and an this connection he said. "I am glad to have an opportunity to defend our cause here, for I feel confident that the' policies for which the Democratic party stands will appeal to the American people. Those principles are fully understood and it has been grat ifying to note the change that has taken place in the last four years. It is gratifying to find a much more cordial lweuuou io our uiauurm now man wh "I said then, in leaving home for New f York that I was going into the enemy's Yofk hat l 5a SS f country eYfho ! ? ?qZZ'u? lL eJi ?2 country, xnis year tnose wno ieit us In 1896 have largely returned, and they did not complain wnen men left us in 1896, for l nave always contended that a manB:vote was his own and that he had a right to do witn it as he pleased, and I never doubted that the great mass of those who left us in 1896 left us be cause they honestly thought that my election would be harmful to the coun try. "I cannot despise the man who places his country above his party, even though, I may be the loser by his act. But the principle which runs through Republican policies has become . apparent on these later ouestionV wrhich have arisen. I contended, in-3896, that the Republican party was giving too mnch consideration to wealth and too little to human rights; has ehts in the declared fostering could G t hig AaneIg 0 take ch of - , , them, and, he added, "From our expe- nence, we are inciineii to tnin& tnat tne angels , now in charge came not from above, but from, below." "Some one has said," Mr. Bryan con tinncd, "that he did not object to the lKdbug so much, but that he did object to the way he made a living. So we object to the trusts." The comparison caused a roar of laugh ter and loud applause. Mr. Bryan took strong ground on the question of a large army. He said that this country was less liable to dissen sion than any other on account of the character of the population. Instead of finding a menace in the presence of foreign-born citizens in the United States, Mr. Bryan said that these were really a safeguard, because, knowing the evils of monarchial systems, they knew how to avoid them and appreciated why they should do so. He predicted that if the recent increase of the army to 100,000 men was indorsed by voting the Repub lican ticket next November there would continue to be increases until the armed force would be sufficient to completely awe the people. Taking up the question of the Philip pines, Mr. Bryan gave what he said was a Republican speech in support of the Republican policy. This presenta tion was as follows: "We are very sorry We got the Philip pyie Islands: we did not intend to get them, but they were thrown into our lap. and it as our duty to keep them. God commands it, and it will pay." Mr. Bryan then related the biblical "I wish 'that on the Sunday nef ore elec tion every preacher in the United Mates would take as his text that, story of Naboth's vineyard, arid I will tell you how they would treat 'it. Every oppo nent of imperialism would condemn Ahab for wanting the vineyard, and every (imperialistic preacher would condemn Naboth for not letting Ahab have it.'' Mr. Bryan made a second speech in Hoboken before leaving for other parts of the State. The crowd which followed him from the theatre where he first spoke to. the railroad station was large and called clamorously for a speech, and Mr. Bryan made a brief address from the rear platform of his car. The speech was on general lines. The first stop out of Hoboken was at the town of Harrison,, where Mr. Bryan talked for about ten minutes. In con nection with his discussion of the army question he referred to the presence of a number of boys in the crowd, saying: "I see in the rear of this crowd chil dren, with their flags. I have hope for child who is mentally developed, is taught to respect the rights of citizenship and protect- his own rights to srive others ecmal rights. - 1 want us to sDend our monev developing the inds hnd the hearts of our people, not - ni.- W.V r.vwi .miiAS frnm jhome to destrov the love of liberty ; lhe harts 0f other people. I don't w sni want the little boys growing up in this land to have no higher ambition than to fur nish targets for bullfts. If God had intended that a man-should be. a target He would have made him out of wood or iron; He would not have made him out of flesh .and blood." Closing his Harrison speech, Mr. Bryan said: "The best way to defend your own rights : is to protect the rights of others and to respect the rights of others. The best way to make your own liberty secure is to leave liberty to' all God's people everywhere." Elements Frown on Bryan Paterson, Oct. 26. Dull, grey clouds overhung the city this afternoon and a' drizzling rain;inade uncomfortable the four or five thousand people who gath ered on the Colt's Hill tract to hear William J. Bryan speak. In 1896, when the Democratic candidate spoke in Pat erson, darkness fell before he concluded. Today the elements frowned upon him. Mr. Bryan reached the Barclay station about 4:30, a half horn behind time, and was escorted by one hundred mounted men to the meeting place.
