Adams, Governor-elect: Senator Henry

Mr.. Bryans address was the last num-
Der On the program. He was received
with Sreat cheering. Among other things
, he said:
The past few months seem TO ~
more like dream than a reality; and
when 1 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 / hear these words spoken
with so many manifestations of affection

that has been 50 kindly expressed, or
whether by some misstep. i may do as
so many have done before me, fall and
lose that love which now is the thing
which pixie most in life. 1t frightens
me, when l find how many people there
are ir this country, who, believing as
they believe, have put their faith il
me, and the work'I have tried TO do.
"The only assurance that i have that
1 may be able 20 continue 10 retain your
good will. is the belief that my purpose
Is the same as your purpose, and that
We. continuing Ill this purpose, will still,
travel together.
Il believe that during this campaign
in every foreign nation the oppressed
were raising a silent prayer for our sucx
cess and thSt IL every foreign nation,
the arisiocracy was praying for the sue
cess OF our oponents, because the am
bassador Of the United Staples TO Great
Britain declared Immediately after the
election that he, together with all Lon
don, was rejoicing, and when he said
he and all IoncoI, he meant that part ~
London which he ha6 become acquaint-
ed with. and not the toiling part of Lon
don or England. You read what is said
by the fnanciers ana by the aristocrats
of the old world and you will find that
they recognize that this question which
was before the american people, reach
ed down deeper and lowered UP higher
than any question which has confronted
US in time of peace in the history OF this
country.
1--WE cannot give up this fight if We
desire. We have got 70 go on. / think
We will be more successful still in the
next four years. We have been success
full in bringing our case before the la
boring men. We have failed most in
reaching the business men of this coun-
try. and believe that for the next four
years we ought 70 give special attention
to the bringing OF our arguments before
the business men of this country.
"Hcw long will il be before. our well-to-
do classes shall understand that they
cannot raise themselves far above the
masses OF the people? How long before
they realize that their only safety lies
in raising the masses with them?"
Cheers and loud applause)
