INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 8.-The
reception accorded MI. Bryan on his ar
rival in Indianapolis today was nearly
as great as any he has received during
his entire trip. He made five speeches,
two in the afternoon and three to-
night. and at each meeting he ad-
dressed immense audiences, which
were nearly as large as that addressed
by him on Boston common, the largest
of the campaign.
The Bryan party arrived IN Indi-
annapolis at 1915 o'clock and was re-
many thousands gathered about the
station. He was taken Immediately to
: the Grand hotel, and the parade from
the depot to; the hotel was continual
ovation. The Cleveland club, in Prince
Albert coats and silk hats; the Indi-
annapolis Republican Silver club, and
the Gray club acted as escorts. The
parade passed through streets lined
with people, the principal thorough
fares being SO crowded that the side
walks were roped off in order to keep
the crowds from pressing upon the
carriages.
After dinner Mr.. Bryan addressed the
largest crowd of the day at the state
house. Every inch of standing room
was taken. The park in front Of the
state house was packed with human
ity; the streets on either side were filled
with people, and people were at the
windows in order to see the candidate.
even If they could not hear him. Prob
ably less than one-fourth of the audi
ence heard his speech, but those who
were unable to get within the sound
Of his voice were enthusiastic to a
degree. It would be an impossibility
to estimate the crowd. so great was It.
Mr.. Bryan began talking at 3:15 and
made a half hours speech.
After the nominee had concluded his
remarks he was taken to Tomlinson
hall, where he spoke to as many peo-
pie as could be gotten into and in
front Of the balcony where he stood
This meeting was enthusiastic, and
often during his speech the candidate
was stopped by the demonstrations of
approval. Tonight he spoke to three
more audiences, one the Commercial
Travellers association In the Grand ho-
tel, and to one from platform outside
Of the court house, and one in Tom
lnson hall. The speech inside the hall
was to the laboring men of Indianap-
oils, and his remarks were app1auded
to the echo. At the state house speech
Mr.. Bryan said:
It gives me great pleasure to come to In
dianapolis, and when came / recalled my
first visit to this city. The first Democratic
leader whom ever saw was one Of the c'ti-
zens of the state at that time and candidate
for vice presidency Thomas A Hendricks and
such was my admiration for his life and char
aeter that my first political pilgrimage was
made to indianapolis to attend his funeral.
Therefore think of him when i come te this.
city; think of the principles for which he
so heroically contended. come today to de-
fend principles which are Democratic in the
broadest sense of the term, because when
you come to the fundamental principles of
Democracy they are loved and accepted and
applied by all, irrespective OF party name, who
believe In government of the people, by the
people and for the people.
This city enjoys the unique distinction of
being the birthplace ard q athbed of a So
called party. NY friends I know that am
not obeying the Bible injunction. LET the
dead bury their dead when l speak Of this
so-called Democratic party. / speak Of 1t
as would not speak of any bona fde organ
ization Of men. But this party occupies q
peculiar place in history. 1t calls itself the
National Democratic party. when It does not
expect to carry single county in the whole
nation 1t called itself Democratic party
when 1t was organized for the express pur-
pose Of electing a Republican candidate for
president.
If it was big enough to justify the name,
I would call it "stupendous fraud" but
it is too small to be called stupendous.
will call it transparent fraud
IL was the first political convention ever
held in this country where the members Of
the convention nominated ticket that they
did not expect to vote for, and the first place
where men have received a nomina Ion
and don't want to be voted for. The minor
ity plank in the Chicago platform opposed
free coinage on the ground that it would
interfere with international bmetallism.
toward which, according to the minority
plank. the efforts of this government should
be steadily directed, and when they failed TO
secure the adoption Of that plank they assem-
bled in convention here and forgot all about
in ernatiUnal b.metalHsIn. There could be no
clearer evidence OF intended deception than
is found in the fact that the minority at
Chicago when they had things all their own
way repudiated the p1anks they stood on
there and came out in favor Of gold stand
ard instead Of international bimetaliism. My
friends, am willing to meet an open enemy
