streets made a desperate rush to gain
entrance. During the turmoil several
women tainted. At last by a vigorous
use of clubs the police were able to secure
q semblance of order. From floor to roof

and was recognized by many in the audi
ence, great cheer went up Bryan,
Bryan, Bryan" was the shout of those who
knew him. and, others in the crowd
realized that the hero of the evening had
come. the cheering became louder and
threatened not to stop. But 1t did stop
at last. and those who timed it said that
the ovation had lasted six minutes. 1t
was the first tribute of the enthusiastic.
The crowd was reserving itself for the
event Of the evening.
Notified by Gov. Stone.
Senator Jones introduced Elliott Dan
forth as chairman of the meeting, and he
In turn presented Gov. Stone. of Missouri

MIR. BRYAN'S SPEECH.

Following are the most telling points in
Mr.. Bryan's speech:
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen Of the Com
mittee and Fellow Citizens ! shall al

underestimate the forces arrayed against

of the struggle in which we are engaged ::
but, relying for success upon the right
eousness of our cause, we shall defend
with all possible viGor the positions taken

II has been charged by men standing
