tnghandInade them take lastleasc on their
efforts. Senator Jones shouted:
- appeal To this crowd TO be IN order. =
But he was rot listened to. and the crowd
did not cease till 1t felt like 1t.
Mr.. Bryun rose and stepped TO the front
and center OF the speakers platform. In
his hand he had manuscript copy of his
speech. His face was pale. but he was cool
and calm. The black alapaca coat. which
has been SO CONSPICUOUS feature OF Er.
Bryan's dress since people tegan to take
AN interest in the details OF his attire, had
been cast aside in favor OF coat SC
strkipgly like 1t that many in the audience
supposed 1t was the same.
The new coat. however, was of black
serge. Mr.. Bryan wore a turned-down
collar and white low tie OF ministerial
suggestivepess. His vest was cut low
enough to show large stud in his shirt
Altogether he looked very much as he did
in the Coliseum in Chicago on the day
he made his famous speech.
He began TO speak slowly, but was
Obliged to stop, for the demonstration bad
sporadic spasus before it died There were
Kisses for quiet before some of the wildly
enthusiastic admirers of the young candi-
date could be subdued. He began again
and a man in the gallery gave another
incentive to cntbusi asm by shouting.
Three cheers for Bryan"
VOICE WAS BoARsE.
Then he began in earnest. His voice
was firm, but it showed signs OF boarseuess.
1t was plain that the physician who at
tended him at Mr. st. Johns house had
not been able to bring the wonderful
voice to the perfect condition 1t was in
when the Chicago speech was made. The
strain OF the speeding making Journey
from Chicago TO Pittsburg had been too
great to allow such quick recovery OF the
use of the vocal organs, aud Mr.. Bryan
could not make himself beard as distinctly
as in the Coliseum.
But it was only in the galleries In tho
rear OF the garden that everything he said
could not lie heard, and after his speech
had proceeded awhile many in these points
OF disadvantage began leaving. until they
became comparatively empty before the
effort was ended.
- When he concluded, aftcr speaking an
hour and forty minutes, there was another
but it was brief. The far
galleries had perocptibly dwindled and
the crowd had shouted itself into the same

Governor Stones remarks were not
audible, even to those who sat near the
platform. The audience Aad become rest
less and were in great disorder. 1t was
evident that the people who had sat out
The great speech OF Mr.. Bryan were anxious
to get out in the fresh air.
The chairman raped many times for
order, but could not quiet the audience.
Mr.. Sewcll was obliged TO begin his speech
mid a noisc and din that made it diff
cait Tor him to be heard ten feet away.
The speaker was compelled to stop several
times while the chairman urged upon the
audcno to restore order.
People were now moving out in great
numbers and the noise in the hall COM
pletely drowned the voice OF the speaker.
Mfr. ScwaH said:
