you read about in the paper, were not
there, but the people were there, and
they made their presence known by q vo-
ciferousness that was not equalled az
the Chicago convention, and II you could
have piled all the applause that was
heard at ST. Louis in single stack, 1t
would have looked small beside the
roars of New York multitude this
evening.
Mr.. Bryan never looked so handsome
or so proud in his life. He was dressed
with unusual care. He wore an evening
suit, which is something new for him.
and white tie, and he never had himself
under better control. No excitement,
no nervousness, no agitation was ap-
parent, as he stood before vast au-
dience in what he himself has termed
the heart of the enemy's country. But it
was not critical audience. 1t was
bound to be pleased. 1t came not TO
find fault but to adore; it took long
time to get them quiet, and for several
minutes Mr.. Bryan stood motion1ng
with his hands to keep them quiet. FL
nally he broke in upon the cheers with
his voice and there was an intense 81
lence. Unfortunately the musical tones
of his voice were disguised by hoarseness
and he read from manuscript, which i'm
paired much of his dramatic power. He
was very closely confined to his notes.
He held thes heets with both hands close
to his eyes.
From an oratorical standpoint the
speech cannot cannot be compared to
the display he made at Chicago, but of
course it represents a great deal more
thought and reflection. y
Everything he said took well, and
when some one in the aurience would
shout, as was often done, THAT'S right.
Willie" Mr.. Bryan would stop and
smile. Having gratified their curiosity,
and reluctant to endure the heat, large
part Of the audience withdrew, before
the speech was finished.
1t is by far the most careful and
thoughtful paper that Mr.. Bryan has.
ever produced, and will elevate him in
the minds of those who have represented
him as shallow. The speech was care
fully revised by Senator Jones. am in
formed that he and Mr.. Bland are the
only persons who saw the manuscript
before it was delivered, although Mr..
Bryan was favored with multitude of
suggestions. Mr.. Bryan did not intend
to make an oratorical display, although
one was expected. He desired to sound
a keynote for the campaign and place
himself squarely upon the Chicago plat
form.
Senator Jones said tonight that such
was considered the wisest course; that
Mr.. Bryan did not wish to go before the
country as an orator alone. The people
would have plenty of opportunities to
hear his brilliant elocution, but it was
thought proper for him on this occasion
to appear in another role.
1t was noticed that the passages in
Mr.. Bryans speech which will bI most
offensive to the gold men were most
heartily applauded by New York
audience, which indicates that senti-
ment here is not unanimous.-William

deadly purpose of the old man was so
strongly fixed that he did not even utter
a cry
The body went whirling through the
air to the bottom of thecliff where it
struck with crash, the remains being
badly mangled, death ensuing instantly.
