him at the door of the cab with a
hand about the size of a leg of NUT
ton. She wanted to shake hands, and
when Bryan saw what was coming he
faced the music like a hero and gave
her shake which she will remember
through time and for a few aeonS in
eternity. Bryan has a grip like a fell
lowcraft, and he closed down on the
digits of the spinster with a clasp
which betokened fervor and enthusi-
asm. The look of pain which shot
athwart the face of the female was
supplanted for an instant by one of
surprise, but then the pain again re-
asserted itself and she let go the right
of Bryan with an alacrity which be-
tokened gladness, pure and simple.
Don't shake hands, cautioned
Judge Powers; you will never get 20
the stand"
Bryan tried to obey the injunction.
but it was impossible. People would
get hold of his hands and he had to
shake himself loose. After few min
utes' brisk work. in which Miss Mad
Olson of the Tribune declared she
was going to be squoze to death, she
knew she was" the platform was
reached.
Crisp of Missouri was on the stand.
In fact, Crisp had been making mat
tiers interesting for the crowd for some
time. He had to do something, and
it was a good thing for the manage
ment he did. for if that party had got
to breeding over the fact that ii had
paid two-bits to get into the stand
over by the track without avail, it
would have doubtless wreaked some
vengeance on someone connected with
the place.
Crisp waited until the people were
seated, stood up and had climbed all
the trees it could get into, when he
stalked to the front and said:
LAS I was saying when L was in
terrupted by the arrival of this party.
and you will excuse me. Mr.. Bryan,
for moment, down in Missouri where
l come from we do not ask each other
when the Hon. W. J. Bryan is COM
ing; we do not ask when Bryan is COM
ing; We just say When is he coming%
Then everyone laughed and Crisp
quit right snort, saying he knew a
good thing when he saw it,
JUDGE HENDERSON.
Judge Henderson in a few compli-
mentary remarks introduced Mr.. Bry-
an. He said this was Jubilee week,
and all Utah was dealing with a cele-
bration of the past. But while it was
proper for this to be done, it was
agreed by many that good thing
would be variation of the proceedings
and have something of the future. He
had TO present the man who was the
central figure of the campaign of 1896.
the man who went into the battle with
the administration he helped TO elect
opposed to him, and with all that,
made the most brilliant campaign
which ever had been recorded in his
tory. He was fortunate in being hon
ored in introducing Hon. William J.
BRYAN.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The crowd did a whole lot of cheer
ing Then it cheered some more. The
noise had about subsidized, when some
large man with cOrns on his hands
and a voice like the sound of many
waters, proposed three cheers for the
next president. This was repeated two
or three times and then the assem-
blage mustered up silence enough for
Bryan TO mount a chair and begin his
address.
Mr.. Bryan was in the best kind of
humor and kept the crowd good ma
tured from start to finish. He was
never better and his speech was gem.
His illustrations were apt and to the
point: his delivery was as good as it
ever was and the audience was in per- /
feet sympathy with everything he said. /
He started them off right, too. He /
began:
