At 2:15 O'Clock Mr. Bryan was driven

Mr.. Bryan attempt to restore order,
but 1t was many minutes before any
thing like quiet was obtained. During
the excitement women tainted and
several persons were taken from the
crowd, overcome by the crush. The
police used their clubs, and one of
their number, mounted on a spirited
horse, forced the animal in front of
the stand, nearly creating panic

yells of the students. This lasted al

Mr.. Bryan started to speak. AS he
proceeded, the noise quieted, but every

by the frog chorus. Mr.. Bryan said:

Your college has helped to add fame to your
city and those who assemble here sup
posed to come in order that they may better
equip themselves for the duties of life. l am
glad to talk to you students, because, my
friends, we have a cause which appeals to

has fair show, unless he is the fayorite

peals to every young man who wants to

every citizen in this land,
we appeal not only to the students, we
appeal to the business men who have been
tyrannized over by financial institutions
In some instances, 1t Is more dangerous to
raise your voice against the ruling power than
1t is in an absolute monarchy to criticise the
government. If there is anybody who loves
that sort Of condition, then / shall offend him
by speaking Of 1t. but shall not offend anv
man who loves liberty and the right of free
speech IN TINS country. Business men have
oeen told that the free coinage of silver
would ruin them. If It can ruin them. then
my friends, it will be bad indeed; because
the gold standard has increased the number
OF failures among business men and every
step that has been taken has been followed

men who earn their own living that hardly
