2 asm followed which was not ended until
the lady arose from her seat and ac-
knowledged the ovation extended her.
e When Mr.. Bryan stepped on the
stand and was recognized by many in
! the audience, great cheer went up.
= "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan" was the shout
of those who knew him, and, as others
in the crowd realized that the hero of
the evening had come, the cheering be
came louder and louder and threatened
not to stop. But it did stop 1T last,
and those who timed it said that the
b ovation had lasted six minutes. It
was the first tribute of the enthu-

6 self for the event of the evening.
a=-z-- Notified by Gov. Stone.
s Senator Jones introduced Elliott Dan
forth as chairman of the meeting, and
he in turn presented Gov. Stone, Of
Missouri, who made the formal speeches
of notification.
Is After Gov. Stone had spoken at con-
siderable length he presented to Mr..
Bryan an engrossed copy Of the resolu-
ton Of notification adopted by the no
5 tifcation COMMITTEES. Referring to the
. circumstances attending the nomina-
ton, the resolution stated that the nom
inee was. selected as the party leader be-
cause of his integrity, patriotism and
ability, and that his election means the
maintenance of an honest government
administered for the benefit Of all,
and controlled only by intelligence con-
scientiously directed.k -
Great Demonstration.
When Gov. Stone concluded with the
notification Of his nomination to Mr.
Bryan, man began to wave a big
American flag over the latter's head.
The crowd went wild with enthusiasm
and rose as man when Chairman Dan
forth stepped forward and introduced
Mr.. Bryan. Then came a demonstra-
ton that far exceeded those that had
followed the mention of Mr.. Bryan's
name previously in the evening. The
scene presented was strongly reminis-
cent of the tumult that ragged in the
Coliseum at Chicago when Bryan fin
ished the effort preceding his nomina-
tons Men and women rose to their
feet and cheered. On the platform, in
the boxes, up in the galleries people
were shouting like mad Men waved
their coats and their hats, while wom-
en- futtered fans and handkerchiefs.
This continued for many minutes. At
last the crowd wearied and ceased.
Bryan Reads His speech.
Mr.. Bryan rose and stepped to the
front and center Of the speaker plat
form. In his hand he had manuscript
copy Of his speech. His face was pale,
but he was cool and calm. His voice was
frm,- but showed signs of hoarseness.
The strain of the speech-making jour
ney from Chicago to, Pittsburgh had
been too much to allow quick recovery
of the vocal organs, and Mr. Bryan
could not make himself heard so dis
tinctly as in the Coliseum.
Mr.. Brya Speech. =
Following are the most telling points
in Mr.. Bryan's speech: Z
Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Com
mittee and Fellow Citizens: I shall at
future day and in n, + formal letter &C;
by the notification committee, and shall
at that time touch upon the issues pre-
sented by the platform. It is fitting, how,
those here assembled speak at some
length in regard to the campaign upon
which we are now entering. We do not
us, nor are we unmindful of the importance
OF the struggle in which we are engaged !;
but, relying for success upon, the right
with all possible visor the positions taken
by our party.
