.sAiy Fellow-Citizens i am Persu2d-
ed that mortal eyes have never Deheld
a greater assemblage than this. This
is BRYAN weather. (Cheers and APP
plause.) The Democracy at its con-
vention in Chicago selected for the
Presidency a distinguished statesman
from the great Non lhweSt. For the
hrst time in cur history candidate
for the high office of President was
chosen from a State lying on the West
bank of the Mississippi. The conven-
ton in selecting standard-bearer
builded wiser than it knew. (Applause
and cheers.) Each passing hour has
emphasized the wisdom of its choice
has said: When the times demand the
man, the man appears. (Applause and
cheers.) The times demanded a great
leader and the great leader has APP
pearad (Applause and cheei's.) His
campaign lis the marvel of the age.
From the Atlantic seabceTd, two thou
sand miles eastward his living words
have cheered the despondent, given

and touched the hearts of millions of
his countrymen. tApplaHse and
cheers.) In advocating his election we
have kept the faith; VIC have not de
parted from the traditions OF the faith

all parties up to the assenlbling--of the
st. Louis convention. (Applause ard

Mr.. Bryan said:
''Ihis is the home of the Vice-PTesi-
dent of the greatest nation of Gods
foot-stool. They who have been keep
ers of the Democratic faith love Adlai
Stevenson, not only for what he is,
but we love him because he is all we
have left of the last National Demo
cratic ticket.

Democracy of our position ON the
money question, | want you to read
what the Republican cand: date for the
Presidency said yesterday. He says,
in a speech from the front porch,
daughter, )severy dollar representing
one hundred cents and good, not only
among our cwn people, but wherever
trade goes, in every market and mar
ket place of the world New remem-
Der what he says, speaking of this
dollar, he says: 1T was made by the
Republican PARTY, but let me say
while it was made by the Republican
party, the administration of Grover
Clegeland has maintained it, There
he tells you that Grover Cleveland
has simply carried out the policy of
the Republican pc ty and inferential-
~ IbltS you tIilelL puulICGI SuCCccS
means that the Republican party for
four years will carry out the policy
of Grover Cleveland. This adminis-
tration has issued $262 ,000,0 900 in bonds
to maintain a gold standard, for three
years and MI. Mckinley praises Mr..
Cleveland for having maintained the
standard. When Mr.. Mckinley says
that Mr.. ElesEeland has maintained
Republican doctrine and praises Mr..
Cleveland, you have reason to believe
that if Mr.. Mckinley is elected you
will go on issuing bonds for the bene-
fit of the bond-holders and tax people
to pay for them. My friends, these
are strange times. You will find in
our political history another instance
where a President has been thrown
overheard by his own party only to be
caught up and idolized by the opposi-
ton party. Yet that is what you find
to-day. The only people who are COM
mending the financial policy of Grover
Cleveland, are the men who are trying
to elect a Republican President to
continue THAT policy for four years
more Are you surprised, when you
find a Democratic President endorsed
by a Republican candidate for the
Presidency, that q policy inaugurated
at st. Louis and reiterated by the Re-
publican candidate is driving out of
the Republican party those who still
believe im government by the people
and for the people. applause and
cheers.)
