! as A GREAT WELCOME TO BRYAN.
Cheer after cheer went up Bryan. OF Ne
hraska tall smooth-faced, youthful-ooking, leaped
up the platform steps. two at a time, TO close the
debate Banners waved from the 1ree-siiVer oeie-
rations and handkerchiefs newspapers, hats, fans
and canes brought into play by the enthu-
siastic crowd. At time the applause became
deafening and could be suppressed by Mr.
Richardson who was still acting as temporary
chairman.
When quiet had been restored Mr.. Bryan began.
speaking clearly and deliberately. The BELIEF In the
honor Of a righteous cause. he said. was stronger
than the predictions Of disaster. He would move
TO lay on the table the resolutions in condemnation
Of the Administration (Cheers) This was not
question that permitted descent to personalities
This had been great contest; never before had so
great an issue been fought out. He sketched the
tho fraa eilxar In he
ranks and told Of the zeal that had been injected
into the party contest. The silver men had gone
forth to victory after victory. and were assembled
now. not to condemn not to protest, but to enter
up a Judgment ordered by the people AS indi-
viduals, he SAID those he represented might have
been willing compliment the gentleman from
New-York (Mr HID. but they were unwilling to
put him In position where he could thwart the
will Of the Democratic party (Cheers) He
claimed for his people that they were the equals Of
the people OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS when the
people Of Massachusetts came TO the people Of Ne
braska and said: "You have disturbed our bust
ness" the people of Nebraska replied to the people
OF Massachusetts: you have disturbed our bust
ness" (Applause.) I'VE say" he continued you
have made too limited application of the defini-
ton of the word business man. The en-
ployed for wages is much business man his
employer. (Applause) The farmer who goes out
to toll In the morning is as much a business man
as the man who goes on the Board of Trade to
gamble in stocks (Cheers.) The miner is much
business man the few financial magnates
who in back corner the money of the
world" Great cheering)
HE UTTERS A DEFIANCE.
Mr.. Bryan said those he represented were tired
Of submitting to the burdens which oppressed Them
I'VE beg longer. petition more. We defy
them
This denunciation. uttered In Mr.. Bryan's most
dramatic manner. was followed by scene of wild
excitement and cheering. which lasted several min
utes
