He was greeted with applause after
which he spoke at great length.
Mr.. Bryan began by stating that he
scarcely realize that it was reality
and then launching upon his speech he
said that when the people met a man
of their making they placed him on a
pedestal for what they believed they
made him, and not for what he really
is. 1T frightens me-" he said. referring
to the free coinage question, when l
think how many people there are in the
country who believe as we do. We be-
lieve that we were for what was best
for all classes of the people, and the
oppressed of all foreign countries
prayed for our success. This issue goes
down deeper and towers up higher than
all others that have confronted
US in years. 1t is a grappie
between the producers of wealth and
the monopolistS and the monopolists
We're the victors. and the masses were
with us. We must go on with this
tight. We cannot stop it. Defeat can
not change II. I think we have been

Iour years more with the laboring men,
We failed in our campaign to reach

entrance of Mr.. Bryan was the signal
for prolonged applause. Among other
things he said:
In campaign it is necessary that
some one should bear the standard.
and N campaign we must whether
we desire 1t or not, connect the cause
with the person. When the campaign
IS over, the connection ceases. While
the campaign was in progress, l was
the standard-bearer. and the cause
could only be successful, nationally,
through mT election. When the cleo
ton IS over. my connection with the
cause IN the representative CAPACITY
ceases and l express it as nv earnest
convlction-aye, 1 give it as my earnest
deslre-that my name cease to be con-
nected with the clubs that are organ
lied for the continuation of this work.
