Thousands to See Bryan.
JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Aug. 29-William ].
Bryan spoke tonight in the convention hall
at Celeran, on Lake Chautauqua two miles
from this city. The determination of twice
as many people as the hall could hold 10
near the presidential candidate resulted In
a crush which would have ended in great
loss or life If the panic, which for half an
hour seemed imminent, had not been pre-
vented. The hall contained seats for eight
thousand people. but fully twelve thousand
were packed into its frail walls lighting

members OF the local committee pushed

Word was hnally shouted that Mr. Sibley

a diversion by speaking from a stand some

The enthusiasm oi the night apart from
its troubles, was greater than Mr.. Bryan
has seen since the Chicago convention. His
speech was devoted TO the financial qaes>
tion, and in beginning ii he said that if the
people crowded so 10 hear about free sill

~ he would not dare to bring
them out in a Democratic coun-
ty. The speech was largely on the
lines OF his speech at Hornelsvlle to-day.
He accused his political opponents of hav-
ing brought about panic to secure the ac.
complishment OF private ends. He said
they had forced issue after issue of bonds
regardless of prices and of the taxpayers
who had TO pay the prices. He spoke of
the Democratic administration as one
whose financial policy had aroused the ire
of producers of wealth. The Republican
party, he said, lost its opportunity in not
denouncing that policy and not Offering TO
give the people silver. II the Republican
party had espoused the cause of the peo-
pie no human agency, said Mr. Bryan,
could have prevented its victory in this
campaign. lie laid particular stress upon
the claim of the Republican party that IL
had struck the shackles from all the slaves,
and he gained great applause by his state
ment that 1t was now attempting to fa5ten
the fetters upon 70.0Oo,0Ol freemen. Gold

1t has ever been coward" and the rea-
son the advocates of the gold standard are
towards is because their conScienceS bring
them 10 the realization that they bring ruin
| to the human race.
Referring 10 the Republicans, he said
| they have penned themselves in where
! they must receive the attack of every per
son who loves his country better than his
| pocketbook. All his references to foreign
ers ruling this country financially were
| cheered. particularly the statement that Iii
| you cannot expect pity from st. Louis how
| can you expect IL from Lombard street?'
| His remark that the Republican party had
| destroyed the market for silver also gained
| great applause, and the cheers We're even
| louder when he said that he would admit
| that some Democrats hid become particepS
| crminus in the transaction for the de-
| monetiZation of silver.
The greatest cheering the orator secured
! was when he said we, as Democrats
| are glad to get rid of those Democrats
| who are using the Democratic party fol-
| private gain. l say that they are gone
We bid them Godspeed into the Repub-
| ucan party. And i say that whenever one
of these Democrats makes hole TO get
into the Republican party 1t Will be large
enough To let out ten honest Republicans
| who want TO come 10 the Democratic
| party" He appealed 10 his audience as
