that trey must always, under the stress
OF conditions, go down to the point 10
which the people can afford to pay them.

Closing, he said: My friends, do not

The close OF the speech was marked by
another outburst of applause.
When Mr.. Bryan was about to leave the
stage to proceed to the reception, which
was to be held directly in front of it,
souleone shouted: What about CinCinnati?''
amid great applause.
This brought MIR. Bryan back, who said

Senator Jones spoke briefly in response
TO Uniyesal demand and cheers He en-

opinion expressed by MIR. Bryan, that we

he believed thatit was now fairly la unched.
tApplause and cries of "iightl' Right!''b
In fact, the campaign began on the 18th
OF November, 1886. which, reviewing, he
held that il was a Bryanvictory, eliminating
the colored vote of the South and the

than ever before, and predicted for it a
sweeping victory at the next meeting of
