BRyAN's ADDRESS.
Mr.. Bryan was down for an address
and was received with cheers. He
said In part:
Mr. oastmaster and gentlemen. The
past few months seem TO be more like
q dream than reality; and when 1
hear the words OF eulogy which have
teen go often spoken, they do not Inn
press me as words spoken to me; they
only impress me more deeply with the
fact that have long understood, and
that Is that instead Of seeing people
whom we esteem, we see the ideals
which we ourselves create OF those
Ievple, because when our affection
turns toward one we put him upon
PEDESTAL, and after that we look at him
az the man whom we have made, not
IS the man he 10. And the fear that
always comes over me when / hear
thVse words spoken with 30 many
Manifestations OF affection is whether
can maintain the feeling that has
been 80 kindly expressed, or whether
bysome Diisstep may do as 30 many
more have done before me--faii and
Icse that love which nov u the thing
which prize moet In life. II frigbtsns
me when 1 find how many people
there are in this country, who, beIiev-
ing as l believe, have put their faith in
me and the work have tried 10 do. l
say II frightens me, anu l want you 10
believe me when 1 tell you that the
greatest ambition have in life-the
ambition which shall consume all the
days that remain to me--is to do moth.
ing that will make you think less Of
me than you think now.
The only assurance that have that
may be able TO continue to retain
your good will 10 the belief that my
purpose 10 the same as your purpose,
and that we, continuing in this pur.
pose, will still travel together. L do
feel that we are passing through
crisis In the affairs Of this country.
do feel that upon the success OF the
cause which we have espoused largely
depends the question: Shall this gov
eminent be what our fathers Intended
anu what the patriots dreamed OH

were raising q silent prayer for cur sue.
esss; and that In every foreign nation
The arihlocracy was praying for the
success OF our opponents, because the
ambassador OF the United States to
Great Britain declared Immediately
after the election that he, together
with all London, was reIoioing; and
when he said he aud all LONDON be
meant that part Of London which he
had become acquainted with; and not
