After the gentlemen had taken
seats on the stage, the band played a
selection and Chairman Summer
field. in a few we'll chosen remarks,
introduced Mr.. Bryan.
The speaker was received with ap-
plause and the first words he uttered
made every person in the audience
feel that they had met an old friend.
Mr.. Bryan is an entertaining as
we'll as an earnest speaker, his argu-
ment being replete with anecdotes and
appropriate comparisons.
He said: I do not come to Nevada
to instruct her people on the money
question, but to encourage them in the
fight for bimetallism. He was to speak
at a Democratic meeting nee and was
told by n of his friends that there
would be no Republicans there and to
hit them hard. He believed that h
could hit the g~oldbugs hard in Ne
vada, for he earnestly hoped there
were none in Nevada.
He paid a high compliment to the
State for the strong stand she haC
taken in favor Of silver, and if Nevada
had done nothing else she deserved
praise for giving the world n of the
greatest champions Of bimetallisn
known, Senator John P. Jones.
He read from an editorial in thu
Portland Oregonian, which advocated
retrenchment the economy among thu
people and that the time had COM
/, when we were down and must cut tn,
expense of living. In fact, giving tn
darkest outlook to the future, and We
it was a gold bug paper of the strong
est kind. The speaker said that thi
editorial was written amidst the mos
/ elegant surroundings, the building
= lined with marble and onyx, still
told of the sufferings Of the peopl
, and preached to them what should b
;. done under the circumstances. II
J thought the people might do we'll t
take its advice and begin their re
e trenchment by cutting off their sub
t scription t. such a paper, hat it wa
the most pronounced gold bug pape
in the Pacific States.
- A voice from the audience askee
>. What will Cleveland dO?'
The speaker replied "Cleveland wi
l., do lust what he is directed to do b
r Wall Street. The eastern Democrat
l. and the eastern Republicans are on
d and the same thing and will join eac
It other in the effort to carry out the il
9 stuctions of the money power"
He urged the people to work and
fight for their rights. He believe
that the fight should be made now fc
=, it meant fonr years of prosperity if tt
- battle was won. but if the fight was dc
layed it meant four years of adversit
before relief could be gained. It VIZ
the time to &C now and act togethe
