ANOTHER ADDRESS TO WOMEN.
Mr.. Bryan's third address was delivered
before an audience composed mostly OF
women. 1t was a well-dressed gathering
Nearly all the ladies who attended came
in gowns suitable for afternoon calls
They crowded into the building as soon as
the doors were opened. filled the limited
number Of chairs on the floor, and took
possession Of all available standing room
and every chair in the gallery. Several
thousand, who were unable to gain en-
trance. stood on the outside TO see the
candidate when he arrived. II was in
tensely close inside the Armory and a
dozen women succumbed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan reached the Armory
al o'clock. AS they came on the stage
where a quartette Of young women had
just finished singing a patriotic song. the
audience rose en- masse and cheered with
vigor. the deep tones Of the male portion
drowning the shril cries Of the ladies.
Mrs. Duncanson, president OF the Wo-
mems Club introduced Mr.. Bryan who
made a very brief speech similar 10 those
delivered on his tour before other gather
ings Of women.
Leaving Mrs. Bryan behind. the cam
ddate proceeded TO the Transit House. In
the stock-yards district. accompanied by
Thomas Gahan. national committeeman
from Illinois. and ex-MayOr Gushing, Of
Omaha. The stand from which he spoke
was erected on the south side OF the
Transit House. and in the narrow street
just In front Of il a great throng had
assembled The space was exceedingly
contracted. big livery stable marked
the boundary for the rear of the crowd.
which. of necessity. spread out over the
sides for considerable distance. Twenty
five thousand is a reasonable esti-
mate Of that mass Of sweltering
humanity waiting for Mr. Bryan 10 ap-
pear.
1t was AIS when he did come, and the
remarks Tim Carrab.ne. n local commits
sion merchant was making, were cut
short in the storm Of applause that arose.
Mr.. Carrabine introduced him, handing
him a silver horseshoe as he did so. and
the multitude hOwled again. The audience
was composed principally Of stock-yard
mem who manifested wild approval Of
some of the remarks made by the oaudi-
date.
AT BOHEMIAN HALL.
The number Of people who heard Mr..
Bryan at Bohemian Turner Hall, Ashland
avenue. near Eighteenth street. was only
limited by the capacity of the large hall.
Probably 5000 people squeezed into the
building and stood in a sweltering mass
for perhaps two hours before the candi-
date made his appearance. while perhaps
three times that number filled the street
outside.
The storm OF applause and cheers which
greeted Mr.. Bryan lasted several minutes.
and seemed TO be joined in by every one
in the audience The candidate apDre-
ciated this fact and began his remarks by
saying that the audience seemed so unani-
nous that he did not know whether it
was necessary TO talk to them at all; 10
was not worth while to go among those
who have already studied the financial
question, and If he could judge from what
he had seen in the city Of Chicago the
people were ready TO vote now
After leaving the Bohemian Hall. Alr.
Bryan and his escort went on foot 20

north and on the other side Of the street.

to make way for the candidate. and

Mr.. Bryan finally reached the stage He
received a loud and boisterous greeting.
and it was some minutes before he could
be presented.
REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCY.
The speaker devoted the most Of his
time to the Republican platform. stating
10 his hearers that four years ago the
Republicans declared for bimetallism. and
that this years platform asserts that the
American people are not independent
enough to make laws for themselves. but
must wait on the permission Of other ma
tions He said Republicans were justified
this year i'm leaving their party, inasmuch
as the party had deserted its principles
and promises.
The speaker concluded with an appeal 10
his audience to turn out I'm full force and
vote according 10 their convictions on
Tuesday next. He was then escorted to
his carriage and driven away, while the
crowd cheered loudly.
ADDRESS TO GERMANS.
Mr.. Bryans first night speech was de-
livered before the smallest audience that
has greeted him at any place in the city
The reason for this was that the meet
ing was held I'm St Paups German
Catholic school at Ambrose street and
Henry avenue. where a church fair was
in progress. and TO which an admission
fee was charged. In consequence, the au-
dience was small, the crowd that lis
tened 70 the overflow meeting on the out
side being much larger.
Mr.. Bryan was three-quarters Of an
hour late in arriving. and made a brief
address. speaking mainly Of the Bis
marck letter, as Of the greatest interest
to the German-Amercans who formed
the mass Of the audience.
