t0t be Given Up.

bShNCi' OOi., ANON COluDtl-
mentary banquet was last evening ten
dered Hon. w. J. Bryan at the Brown
Palace Hotel by the chamber CT commerce
of Denver. Plates were laid for 300
His address was the last number on
the programme. He was received with
great cheering. Among other things he
said
"Thc past few months seem to me
more like dream than reality, and
when hear the words of eulogy which
have been so often spoken, they do not
impress me as words spoken of me. The
fear that always comes over me when l
hear these words spoken with so many
manifestations of affection is whether I
can maintain the feeling that has been so
kindly expressed, or whether by some
mlStep may, as so many have done be
fore me, fall and lose their love which
now is the thing which / prize most in
life. 1t frightens me when | find how
many people there are in this country
who, believing as l believe, have put
their faith in me and the work | have
tried to do
"The only assurance that have that
may be able to continue to retain your
good will is the belief that my purpose is
the same as your purpose and that we.
continuing in this purpose, will travel
together
II believe that during this campaign
III every foreign nation the oppressed
were raising II silent prayer for our sue
cess. and thai in every foreign nation
the aristocracy WAS praying for the sue
cess OF our opponents, because the am.
bassndor of the United States To Great
Britain declared Immediately after the
election that he, together with all Lon
don, was rejoicing; and when he said
That hp all IoD1nt, In a..
part of London which he had become nc
quainted with, and not the toiling part
OF London, or England You read what
Is said by the financers and by the aris-
tocrats OF the Old World, and You will
iind that they recognize what many of our
own people do not recognize, that this
question which was before the American
people reached down deeper and lowered
up higher than any question which has
confronted us in time of peace in the his
tory OF this country.
1--WE cnnnot give up this fight if we de-
sire; we have got to go on. | think we
have been successful in bringing our
cause before the American people.
think we will be more Successful in the
next four years. We have been success
fui in bringing cur cause before the
laboring man; we have failed most in
reaching the business men of--this conn
try, and believe that for the next four
years we ought to give special attention
TO the bringing of our arguments before
the business men of this country.
How long will it he before our we'll,
TOTO classes shall understood that tr,,ev
cannot raise themselNe., far above the
masses of the people, How long before
! ,neS VIII realize that their ONLY safety
thar,",, '" ~ using of the masses with
r. , Vyneers and loud applause.)

The scene ut the banquet hall at the
