blew CALL and thus secured partial
quiet, but before Mr. Bryan could speak

galleries, and shouts from. the Bryan
ties. Finally the candidate began his
speech in a voice somewhat hoarse, hut
Which could be heard distinctly over the
hall. His remarks We're on the same
lines as others delivered in his tour.
Mr.. Bryan's first evening speech was
delivered at Arcade Hall, Sixty fifth
and Wentworth streets, at { o'clock.
Long before that hour the large hail
was crowded with enthusiastic sup
porterS of the silver cause, and by Z
O'Clock the number unable to gain ad-
mittance, but who expected to gain a
glimpse of the candidate as he left the
hall. was fully as great as the crowd
inside.
Mr. Bryan spoke Briefly, explaining
the chief issue of the campaign, and
closed with the assurance that the ad-

The Polish School Hall, where Mr..
Bryan delivered his third speech, will
hold probably 1000 people when filled,
as it was tonight, but early in the
evening the doors were locked to pre-
vent overcrowding, and another great
mass of people gathered in the yard
adjoining and they We're only appeased
by the assurance that Mr.. Bryan would
show himself there before going on his
way. Inside the rafterS We're lined with
clinging men and boys when Mr. Bryan
appeared, and the greeting was Of the
most enthusiastic kind. A large ma

Poles and as Mr.. Bryan concluded his
remarks he was presented with a bou-

the Polish toilers." A band of sixteen

occupied the platform and greeted him
with song.
Inside and around the mammoth tent

endurance and party spirit in sufficient
quantities to contend for seat or stand
ing space, and then remained swelter-

iron arches which spanned the sea Of
human faces We're fringed with men
who waited for the nominee in a per-

arrival of Mr.. Bryan and at frequent
