BRYAN EN- ROUTE TO TBXAS.
No,hy;lla Ion 12AHon w 4 RrvaI

NHSnylllp, Jan. IO.-IlOH W. - DiJdh,
en- route to Texas on lecture tour, spoke
in jackson, Tenn, this afternoon. A
large crowd greeted him at the depot,
and he spoke from the depot platform.
He said there were more silver advocates
now than the day before the election, and
that as yet the republican party had
failed to throw open the mills any more
than open the mints. He said:
"If we were right before November =,
we are right yet, and the free SILVER pol.
icy would yet triumph.
He referred to Senator Waicotts trip
to Europe, saying:
'Tt was to ask them to help America
adopt bimetallism, and he was glad to-
see the republican party working for BIZ
metallism."
He said he was for the interest Of the.
American people, but he believed the way
to obtain bimetallism was not to ask
some one else for it, but to get It our
selves. He said his book, The First
Great Battle" would be out in sSsat tive
weeks.

He had the. strong, ruddy physique Of
