just az the carriages were approaching

came frightened at this bursting bombs
and plunged forward. The crowd al
most became panic stricken. People could
not fall back owing to the solid wall of
human beings behind them. Two police
men grasped the brides, holding the
horses in check before any damage was
done.
With ssmuoh difficulty Mr.. Bryan WAS
pushed upon the platform. The crowd
was very noisy and Ii was impossible
to secure silence for over Is minutes,

could not hear him amid the uproar. The
place was in semi-darknsss, fewslights
f1ickering In very uncertain way dur
ing the progress of the meeting.
Two small lanterns were depended up
on to supply light to the people. Where

Mr.. Bryan In part said s'The govern
ment that will not let an individual
| bring dollar Into existence, assumes
| the solemn duty of bringing into exis-
| tence enough dollars to perform the duty
/, ss..lat money is called upon to perform.
| II by any legislation you make money
| scarce, then you make money dear and
the man who owns m oney can let that
money lie idle and gain on the increase
In the purchasing power of the dollar,
whereas If youshaves a stable currency
! then Idle money will do no good to any
body and the owner Of the mohey will
have to invest it and employ labor and
develop enterprise before he can get
any profit out Of it. The gold stand ard
is the standard. of the miser.'
AT the close of his address, Mr.. Bryan
was picked up bodily from the plat
form by dozen policemen and escorted
to his carriage. 1t was with much diff
Guilty that tho carriage made it's way

husky tones hardly carried half way
through the big hall. The audience
maintained comparative quiet The ma

with Mr.. Bryan's sentiments, and his
many telling points were vociferously
applauded. In the midst of one of Mr..
Bryan's strong declarations, man near

was in a tumult. There came forth a
great storm of Misses from all parts OF
