CHEERED WITH GREAT vIGOR

all presented Mr.. Bryan, who said:
This visit to the home of my col
gland is one Of the pleasant incidents
ci my journey from the Platte to the
Kennebec. l did not become acquaiat-
ed with Mr.. SewaN until the conven-
ton, but my opinion of lliFn has i'm
proved from day to day. / can assure
you we have no hostile designs against
the people Of the east. The policies we
advocate, we believe, will help the
people OF every section of the country.
\ Il
policies, even to those who have hith
erto opposed them. Such IS the power
of truth that expect to see bimetat-
ism at Is to ] yet be as popular in.
Maine as in Colorado. When the prin-
ciples are understood it is all simple
enough"
Mr.. Bryan talked about a food of
money and referred to the use of sill
YER as money in China and India, sub
stantially as in previous speeches. He
made an e,oquent pelcration. AT the
conclusion OF the speech
THERE WAS A WILD SCENE.
Men swung their hats and shouted
themselves hoarse. A rush forward to
shake hands with the leader of the
ticket was made, but Mr.. Bryan eluded
the onslaught, and escaped with Mr..
Sewall. Bands and political organiza-
were escorted back to Mr.. Sewalis
home.
Mr. Bryan left Boston at s o'clock
this morning accompanied by Mr.. Sew
all, receiving a hearty cheer at the de-
pot as the train pulled out.
The first stop was at Lowell, where
5000 people greeted the candidate. Mr..
Bryan stood on the car platform and
told the people that he was glad to see
= -
any question of politics. The Grain left
there at 9:12 o'clock.
Mr.. Bryan's advent to New Hamp-
shire and Maine began with a warm re-
ception at Nashua Junction, where 5000
people greeted him and showed con-
siderable enthusiasm. Mr. Bryan was
cheered and made a speech. Mr. Sew
all also said a few words. Both
CANDIDATES WE'RE CHEERED
and were much pleased with the recep-
ton.
At Manchester, N. H, there was
big crowd at Merrimack park, whittier
Mr.. Bryan and Mr. SeWall were es-
corted by the Bryan and Sewau club,
reception committee and a band. Judge
John P. Bartlett introduced the speaker,
who was loudly cheered as he arose to
speak. Mr.. Bryan said:
Fellow citizens: We have been ac-
cused Of raising a sectional issue. The
best evidence that we have not raised
a sectional issue is that our opponents
advocate a double standard. The time
was when cur opponents insisted that
the gold standard was satisfactory to
the people. Now they are content to
say that it is satisfactory to a few
northeastern states and IN a little while
will not be able to End any to whom it
will be satisfactory. (Applause.)
Your daily papers have been telling
you that the silver sentiment is a craze,
and is dying out and you have felt that
1t was not necessary to waste time in
considering q craze; but when a great
national party declared in favor of BIZ
metallism and specifically pointed out
the means by which it could be re-
stored and came out openly for the i'm
mediate restoration for the
FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE
of gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of Is to l without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation
on earth (Applause), you began to in
veStiSate, and that has led to a change
of conviction on the part of hundreds
of thousands who live east OF the AL
lti 1n,eny mountains. (ApplauSe) My
friends, the best evidence that we are
right in our position is that when our
cause is presented to disinterested pso-
pie they are convinced of its soundnes :.
No recent campaign has given such
evidence of the capacity OF
the people for self-government as this
With ali the great corporations and
syndicateS and truss and combines and
moneyed influence on the one side, with
all the campaign fund on one side, the
people themselves are going into poll
tics this year and they are Indifferent
to all the opposition that is arrayed
against them" (Applause.)
In his short journey from Manchester
to Lawrence AIr. Bryan was cheered by
a couple of hundred people at Derry, |
\. IL. Salem turned out a small part |
Of its population 70 see the nominee |
The free silver club a. Derry gave Mr. /
