spiration was streaming, with a white
handkerchief, and held up tho sheet of
manuscript containing his speecn. But
the audience only screamed Louder.
Bryan hung his hands at his sides and
stood still. half closing his eyes, while
the flag still waved over his head. The
enthusiasm of the audience nae only
half vented itself, however. Hats were
waving on sticks. men IN their shirt
sleeves We're threshing The ar with their
coats. hats We're in the air.
Would Not BE Quiet.
Chairman Danforth came UP and
spoke to the candidate, and he sat for
a moment. Still the cheering continued.
Senator Jones came to the front and adj
dressed the meeting. His lips We're seen
to move, but no sound from them could
be heard.
Bryan! Bryan! three cheers for
Bryant shouted the audience, then
Jones laid down the gavel and turned
appealingly to Danforth. Bryan again
arose and held his hand before his great
audience. There was no elimination OF
applause. Chairman Danforth got up
n pounded with the gavel, still the
cheering continued.
When the audience was again tired
out, and Mr.. Bryan was able to make
the words. "Mr. Chairman and Gentle
men OF the Committee heard, a hush
fell upon the great assembly. Mr.. Bry-
ans voice was so low when he began
his address that the audience feared
that the rumor that the muscles of his
throat had become relaxed were true,
but he had scarcely spoken a hundred
words when the tones ran out over the
garden. His voice grew in power as he
spoke, till every tone and sentence
reached the rematest corners of the vast
auditorium.
1t cannot be denied that the audience
was disappointed by the circumstance
that Bryan read his speech. Never
theless he was listened to with the
deepest attention, and the salient points
of the speech We're received with tulnul-
tuous applause.
No Apology to Make.
There vas an uproar when the speak
er declared hat he had no apology to
to make for the income tax plank of the
Chicago platform. The phrase "1G to T.

mand for the dearer metal will lower

eminent of the United States will make

gold throughout the world.

penetrating throughout his address.

effort seemed to make no strain upon
his oratorical powers. He held his man.
uscript in the left hand. and with mis-
right turned over page after page. his
resonant voice sounded clear and dis
tinct from end to end of the garden.
Governor Stone sat at the front of the
platform, the manuscript of his w adj
dress under his arm, listening with pro-
found interest.
Senator Jones and Mr.. Danforth sat
behind Governor Stone. each appearing
to hang upon the words OF the candidate
with absorbed attention, as he unfolded
his views upon the financial issues at
present before the country.
Laid Aside His Manuscript.
1t was not until the latter end of his
speech that Mr.. Bryan reused his hear
ers to the height of enthusiasm. He
laid aside his manuscript and spoke witt
the utmost elaboration and solemnity
when he said:
This generation will subscribe
to the doctrine that money Is omnipo.

His audience testified its appreciation
of the sentiment with a roar. Tho en-
thusiasm was unbounded again wher
he declared that the people of the Yves
and south desired to build up and no
destroy. Bryan's concluding figure, con
trasting Columbia with clasped hands
appealing for assistance beyond ths
seas. to the statue of Liberty Enlighten
ing the World in the harbor of New
York evoked the widest applause, ant
his concluding sentence, in which ht
pictured the United States as leading il
every movement that has for its objec
the uplifting of humanity, brough-
about pandemonium. Everything else
was antl-climax after Bryan took hi:
seat.
When Bryan concluded, after speak,

Governor Stone, at the conclusion O
