JACKSONVILLE, Ills, Oct. 27-Jackson-
vile was very much alive yesterday. II
was decorated with flags and bunting,
and great many Of the residences bore
the pictures of Bryan and Altgeld. The
streets were crowded with mass Of hui
manity wearing ribbons of silver, and
many of the enthusiasts had headgear
made of the white metal. The stand
erected in the center of the city square was
surrounded long before noon with people
anxious TO see and hear the standard
bearer of three parties Notwithstanding
that his speech did not commence till after
2 o'clock Crowded excursion trains be-
gan to arrive early in the day, and con-
tinued until long after noon The candi-
date made two public speeches in this
city.
The ovation given Mr. Bryan was one of
the greatest he has received anywhere in a
city of anywhere near the size of Jackson
vile. oThere was parade during the day
which would have done credit for n town
much larger than Jacksonville. There was
noticeable number of yellow ribbons
scattered through the crowd, but they
were in the minority. Mr.. Bryan was in
troduced by Judge o. p Thompson in
short, flattering speech, and when he took
the stand to speak he was cheered wildly.
He said in part:
1T is gratifying to meet again the
friends whom L used to know and to learn
by their presence and their words that the
acquaintance then formed is continued
and that the good will so often manifested
then is still evident l come back as the
representative of great principle, as the
champion Of great cause, as the candi-
date Of those who believe that the Ameri-
can people are able to attend to their own
business. If there is any one in Morgan
county who believes that seventy millions
of people must bow their knee to foreign
nations and bend their necks to a foreign
yoke, cannot expect those people to vote
for me this year, because l do not believe
that we should submit ourselves to for
eign dictation.
