two places.
Els reception at Burlington this
morning was attended by about 1000
onstration, however, we're not not so
successful. over 5000 horsemen and 500
cessful. Over 5000 horsemen and 500
lady riders had been announced as an
escort for the distinguished guest, but
less than 400 were in line. Bryan rode
in an open carriage and was greeted
by cheers several times during the
parade, but as a rule the crowd was
an undemonstrative one.
AT THE COLISEUM
1000 people listened to his address and
thousands were turned away. Bryan
later made short speeches to large
crowds from the small stands in the
Al the Coliseum Mr.. Bryan said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men, and Fellow Citizens: We are
passing through a campaign which
means a great deal to the American
people-aye, more than that, it means
q great deal to the people of the world.
2,There is crisis in human affairs.
while every day is Of equal length
with every other day, yet into some
DAYS vast importance is crowded, ant
into the 3rd of November vast impor-
lance will be crowded. Upon that day
the American people choose a presi-
dent, who shall occupy the White
House (cries Of Bryan, Bryan" and
applause) for four years. On that day
they select a house of representatives
and on that day they select legislatures
which will choose United States sena-
tors Much depends upon the result
of this election. For the first time IN
The history of the United States a
party appears which declares that
THE GOLD STANDARD

until foreign nations join US, OF. permit
us to abandon it. Never before has the
American people been asked to declare
in favor of a gold standard. Every
step that the gold standard has taken
heretofore has been taken in the dark
and without the consent of the Amerl-
can people; and now, for the first time,
The advocates OF GOLD ask the Aineri-
can people to endorse the gold stand
