the parade passed through the streets
lined with people, the principal thor
oughfares being 80 crowded that the
sidewalks were roped on in order to keep
the crowds from pressing upon the car
rinEes.
After dinner Mr.. Bryan addressed the

Ing and climbing room was taken. The
park in front OF the state house was
packed with humanity, the streets on
either side were crowded and people
were gathered In the windows OF the
buildings across the street In order TO
see the candidate. even II they could not
hear him. Probably less than one
fourth OF the audience heard his speech
but those who were able to get within
the sound OF his voice were enthusiastic
TO 4 degree.
l. would be an imposslbillty TO estl-
mate the crowd SO great was IL Mr.

remarks at the state house he was taken
to Tomlinson Hall, where he spoke to az
many people as could be gusten into and

more audiences, one to the commercial
travellers association, in the Grand hotel
and one from u platform outside the
court house and one In Tomlinson hall.

laboring men OF Indianapolis, and his

At the state house speech MIR. Bryan
said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men:-lt gives me great pleasure TO
come to Indianapolis and when I come
l recall my first visit 90 this city. The
first great Democratic leader whom T

this state ut that time and candidate
for the vice presidency. Thomas \.
Hendricks and such was my adm'ra-
ton for his life and character that my
first political pilgrimage was made to
indianapolis to attend his funeral.
Therefore think Of him when COMO

for which he so hcroically conteuded.
