Of today.
When the applause had ceased, Mr.
Bryan declared his intention to make
the history Of American finance and
the theory Of bimetallism so plain that
those of his hearers who believe therein
might defend their beliefs, and those
who did not would be able to explain
why. His explanation of the lack Of
connection between the possession of
money and a knowledge of the money
question, evoked hearty laughter and
much applause.
Starting from the proposition that
"all men are born free and equal" he
said those who did not believe in 1t
could not believe in bimetallism. and,
in fact, had no right to live in this
country. Assuming this to be true, it
was the duty of the government to
protect each individual in life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness.
No man, then, should be permitted
to take that which belonged to any
other man. The gold standard made
larceny by law possible, and those who
loved it most had found it easier to
steal by law than by force
Mr.. Bryan then attacked the melt

VIZ: That it was money which could
be melted without losing any value.
1t left out the elment of purchasing
power entirely. Casually, Mr.. Bryan
explained that he referred to the gold
bug not in an offensive sense, but with
the same kindly feeling that they re-
ferred to him as an idiot, an anarch-
ist, and a fool. Those who urged the
melting pot" test forgot the fact that
it would not exist at all but for the
especial privileges, mot intrinsic val
ues, conferred on gold by the law of
the land.
Mr. Bryan then gave his definition

church were relieved only by one bit
of special adornment.
Behind the rostrum, over a colored
portrait of Mr.. Bryan, was inscribed:

Hall, of Ala bama, introduced Lafayette to the gentle men, after which Hon. Dandridge Bibb gave an address of such eloquence and pathos as to make even the the old war riors shed tears, like so many children The delegation then journeyed on to Mont gomery by easy stages. General Wood ward says: "Such a cavalcade never trav- eled that road before nor since..' The largest crowd ever assembled in Montgom-
 cry met them on April g. 1895, at the foot of
 Goat Hill, upon whose summit now stands
 our beautiful old capitol. There the gen
 eral and attendants quit carriages and
 horses and marched up to the top of the
 hill to the Scottish air, Hail to the Chief"

 fully dressed children, who scattered flow

 troduced him was so overcome with emo-

 too, the reunion between Lafayette and
 John Caffey, ST., Isaac Lansdale, John
 Griffin, Robert Ware, Sr., and other revolu-
 tionary soldiers, was so beautiful and
 touching a scene as to bring tears to many
 eyes.
 The welcoming crowd must have been
 picturesque, consisting as 1t did of all the
 citizens of Montgomery and hundreds from
 the surrounding country. The woods around
 were full of the neighing of horses; old
 fashioned gigs and sulkeys, many wagons
 and a few heavy carriages were scattered all about, while here and there the gaily
 dressed Indians lent color and charm to
 the quaint old scene. Lafayette was en- tertained at the boarding house owned by the then wealthiest citizen of Montgomery, Mir. J. Edmonson. This house was situated in the center of lot fronting perhaps 100 feet on Commerce street, and running through to Coosa street. adjo ming on the side toward the river the lot on which the First National bank building now stands. Many and Imaginable are the incidents told about how the ladies fitted up the room in this house for Lafayette's bed chamber. Each vied win the other in taking the choic- est articles from her home to furnish that of the "cher Margins" and many and warm were the discussions as to who possessed the finest. The carpet selected for his room was said to be the only Brussels in the town, and was the property of Mrs. Wm. Hains, mother of the late Mrs. Albert | J. Pickette and Mrs. John H. Gindrat.

But that night, bless you, it was safe enough-and though the ceiling was low and the gay young gentlemen could not jump so high as they liked. yet within those walls beat happy, loyal, brave, true hearts and the still April air was musical with laughter and the lights were mellow and the gowns were silken and the women as beautiful as the women of France. The accommoda- tioh was rude and the music not the fin- est but the table groaned with wild fowl and rarest of delicacies, and best Of all, Lafayette was there. Lafayette with ms new buckles and cooked hat and VelVet brooches, with the breath of Paris about him and all the grace and elegance or La Belle France Lafayette, who was old now and lame, and loved not then the dance. but who moved gracefully over the rude floor because his heart was young and knew full well how many there were to come who would love to say My grand aunt danced with Lafayette what a pity we cannot keep the uear, quaiii' ois' house foreveri
 Among the great ladies of this ball was Miss Martha Summerville, the great great aunt of your beloved towns-womah, Niis. w w. Wikerson, who was MISS Aeh1 Summerville of this city.

This lady was Miss Margaret Carpenter Perhaps even now the Ialr dead of today may be about the great white throne with the dear old aunt of yesterday and our long-ago LaFayette- who knows? General Lafayette left the ball before midnight, going to the home of his friend MT. John Gindrat. There he is described as chatting quietly and pleasantly in English and French with the cheerful family, taking upon his lap the children, among whom was the late Mrs. Albert J.
