At Federated Trades Hall on Com
mercial street this evening, John D.
Spencer win recite, declaim or promul-
gate as the case may be, William j.
Bryan's celebrated crown of thorns,
'cross of gold" address to the Chicago
convention. Spencer is an elocutionist
of no mean merit, and it will be treat
to hear him deliver this.
In addition to this there will be sew
eral red-hot speeches by different can
didates, and music by quartette and
band. The meeting will be held under
the auspices of the Workingmen's
Bryan club.
In private letter under date of Oct.
%, Judge Powers says: l spoke in the
Twelfth ward Chicago this evening
and struck the undertow, which is for
Bryan. The Peoples Institute, cor
ner of Van Buren, and Ledvitt streets,
where the meeting was held, will seat
$500 people and every seat was filled,
and in addition to those, there were at
least 1,5OO people crowded in the aisles
and on the stage. Besides, on the out
side there was an overflow meeting of
more than 1000 more. And they were
voters and all for Bryan. The en-
thusiasm was unbounded. Altgeld
spoke and received a grand ovation.
He made strong and convincing
speech for silver, and the applause was
terrific. [ am satisfied that under the
surface the Bryan feeling is intense.
At 80 tonight 1 go to Peoria, where
join the Bryan train, after speaking
at Peoria afternoon and evening.
The fight here is intense.
o. W. POWERS.
