Bryan The Silver han.
The Denver Times says: Ex- Con
gressman William J. Bryan OF Nebraska
received his Denver friends this morn
ing in one of the parlors of the Albany
hotel. DIR. and Mrs Bryan arrived last
evening. and while in Denver are the
guests o. Congressman and Mrs. Shat
roth at their home on York street. For
the convenience of those who mighl de
sire.to call on him, the brilliant Nebras-
kan this morning went down to the
Albany, and there has been a constant
stream OF visitors all day. Mr.. BRYAN g
callers were OF all political faiths, but
there were no gold standard people
among them. Il guess you haven't any"
he commented TO visitor this morning.
Mr.. Bryan's great fight for silver has
cntloarcd him to the heart of every Colo
RADIO citizen. and he was warmly greeted
this morning. His visit West is for pur-
poses OF getting rest and taking vaca-
tion, put it is likely that he has come in
to the wrong part OF the country for that,
for he has been prevailed upon to speak
at the Coliseum tonight, to make ad-
dresses in other parts Of the state, and
also in Utah, Idaho and Oregon. He is
on his way TO California and will proba-
bly, be asked to speak there also. Mr..
Bryan is editor OF the Omaha World
Herald. and has for some time been di.
recting the policy of that paper. which
IL an earnest advocate OF the enlarged use
Of silver.
Mr.. Bryan wa plainly dressed to greet
his visitors this morning. A neat black
neck tie and Natick collar and very
small diamond on his shirt front set off
his clear cut features. In his coat lapel
was white badge with the significant
figures "l6 TO L. Referring to the silver
sentiment he said that his recent visit
through the Middle Southern states had
convinced him that the cause had grown
enormously. Every Southern state was
for silver. with the possible exception of
Kentucky. and recent events there con
vinced him that the silver men were
fighters. He declared the recent Demo
cratic silver conference in Washington
was both important and significant.
That the silver Democrats were going to
obtain control OF the next national con-
vention he had no doubt. Tho democratic
sentiment was overwhelmingly for silver
But silver is working all along the
line" said Mr.. Bryan. Il am hoping
that the silver Republicans will organize
themselves and 60 to work in a system

publican convention. ] would like TO
see all three of the parties put a l6 to

worthy silver men. 1t has been the
custom down East for financiers to run
both conventions, and then sit back and
say; we have nominated two good men,
and il doesn't make any difference who
is elected II all parties would nomiu-
ate free silver candidates, we could then
feel whichever par. succeeded we would
have a man who would not take his in
spiration from Wall street.
Il have been glad to notice some talk
about Judge Caldwell as the Republican
candidate for president. He is splend-
id man, real friend of silver. and man
whose sympathies are with the common
people generally. II the free silver Re
puplicans would start boom for Caldwell
of Arkansas and Broderic of Kansas, or
some other Western silver Republicans
they would be surprised to find how
many free silver men there are in their
party. So long as the party organiza-
ton is against silver, and so long as the
Republican leaders are quiet. the senti-
ment in the Republican party does not
manifest itself. But am confident that
an organized effort in the Republican
party. the nomination OF Caldwell, and
OF an equally good man for vice.president
would meet with hearty response. |
know OF no way in which silver Re
publican can show his devotion to his
party so well as by cNorting himself to
put the party right on the money ques-
ton in order that the silver Republicans
may stay in it. II they allow the gold
bugs to control the organization they
will either have to get out or surrender
their own convictions"
