BRYAN RECEPTION.
Yesterday was Bryan Day at the
Park and Pavilion, and the distin-
guished Nebraskan and his family
seemed to enjoy themselves in Sacra-
mento.
Accompanied by Messrs. D. w. Car
michael, w F. Purnell and P. A. Byrne.
representing the State Fair and Iro-
quois Clubs, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan ar
rived in Sacramento at 11:45 yesterday
morning. The train was fifteen min
utes late, and when they arrived at the
depot a goodly crowd was there, but
no cheer rent the air.
At the depot the party was met by
John w Heating, Secretary Of the Iro-
quois Club, and by Mayor Land, T. L.
Enwright, E. I. Woodman and F. L.
Gray
The party was driven to the hotel for
luncheon and later to the Park. Mrs.
Bryan was escorted to the Golden Eagle
by Mrs. ]. w. Hughes. Mrs. Matt F.
Johnson, Mrs. w. H. Devlin and Mrs.
H E. Wright
Owing to a change from 1 to p. m.
in the hour of speaking the party had
ample time for a rest at the hotel but
Mrs. Bryan and her child showed the
result of fatigue.
The crowd at the Park yesterday af-
ternoon was the usual assemblage that
congregates to see the racing events,
plus a few hundred enthusiastic ad-
mirers of Mr.. Bryan. Though the sill
Yer champion was advertised to speak
promptly at 1 o'clock there We're hardly
three hundred people in the grand stand
at that early hour. So it was arranged
that the speaking should be later-a
sort of interlude between races - and
when Mr.. Bryan arose there were sew
eral thousand people in front of him.
They crowded around his hack and
sought every available place.
When the Bryan party arrived (Which
was about p. m.) they were at once
escorted to the Directors stand, but Mr..
Bryan remained seated but a. few min
utes as he desired to see the cattle.
Mrs. Bryan was escorted to the Di-
rectors' stand, sleepy and half-worn
out from loss of rest by the following
committee of ladies': Mrs William
Devlin, Mrs. Judge Johnson, Mrs. DR..
Wright, Mrs. DR.. Matthews, Mrs. DR..
Dixon, Mrs. Walter Longbottom and
Mrs. Judge Hughes. She was very
weary, but was pleasant and most
agreeable in her conversation, but she
left soon after her husband began to
speak.
Mr.. Bryan waved back the crowd
when there were calls for speech, and
after some discussion with the Direct
ors, as to when and where he should
speak, he said: Ladies' and Gentlemen:
1t has been decided that L shall speak
while the narrowing is going on be-
tween races. In the interim, with
your consent, 1 shall award all the pre-
miums on cattle" Uaughter.)
This little sally was cheered, after
which the visitor was driven out to see
the stack, which he pronounced very
fine
Shortly before o'clock he was driven
to a central part of the track, where
those on the grand stand and elsewhere
could hear him, and it was there that he
spoke. When his carriage (from which
he spoke) was driven up to it's place,
Grove L. Johnson introduced the visit
or in one of the briefest and hap1iest
efforts of his life. He was at a disad-
vantage by reason of the noise and the
vast crowd, but he said:
1T is a pleasure to introduce one of
the most distinguished citizens Of the
United States to a Sacramento audi
ence Without wealth, without high
family position and worldwide fame,
without those accessories of human
condition that are such a leverage in
the struggle for success, this man,
whom I am about to introduce is an
example of a poor boy who has won.
He is an example of what an American
boy can do by the very strength and
originality of his character. We may
differ from all that he holds dear in
politics. but we must all admire his
talents and his sterling honesty. With
these reservations and explanations, ]
take great pleasure in introducing Will
lam Jennings Bryan"
The crowd cheered little, and crowd
ed one another for hearing places, after
which the speaker began as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I am great
ly obliged to your distinguished towns
man for the very high words he has
given utterance concerning me. I APP
preciate his pleasing liberality and
charity, sterling qualities that enabled
him to introduce an opponent here.
rejoice that / live in a country where
men may differ yet respect one an
others opinions. I am glad to live in
