He proceeded to speak with pathetic
strain OF the battle OF the democracy of
Massachusetts IN dark days and OF the ul-
innate triumph OF democratic principles.
These principles. he argued. were to be
forgotten under new and radical leader
ship. Principle was TO make place for
expediency. and such surrender is only to
invite defeat. The delegates. especially
those from Massachusetts, had been DEM
onstratlve at almost every word but
when he said referring to George Freder-
ick williams speech. that a false note
had been heard In the convention from
Massachusetts,. the delegates from that
state rose and yelled franticaily that he
did. Other New England delegates took
up the cry. With a voice that shook with
emotion he concluded by pleading for one
word OF concession. one word Of concilia-
ton.
Young Brrsn's Powerful speech
The demonstration that followed was
submerged beneath a storm OF cheers
that greeted the advance OF William ].
Bryan. the boy orator Of the Platte,
whose star as a presidential possisbil-
ity had for "a hours burned brightly On
the conventions horizon. The ovation
given him was second only to the one
bestowed upon the New York senator.
More than 1000 men were standing and
the air was full OF paper and hats.
Four times the cheers spent themselves
and rose again with the roll OF an ad-
vanclng wave. Bryan stood with a
smile playing on his face and upliftsd
arm motioning for silence Even the
attention given Tillman and Hill did
not equal the breathless eagerness with
which thousands peered forward to
catch the first sentence OF this young
man. whom many westerners consider
their foremost orator. They were not

perfect storm OF applause. He shook
the hand Of the presiding officer. then
with a smile bowed acknowledgements

same to-day. He believed the course
was to take the first great step toward

that as far as the galleries were con-
