Governor Taylor should have held out
firmly against making any concessions
Later in the day a telegram was re-
CeiV0d from Frankfort saying Governor
Taylor still maintained his attitude, and
had not signed the agreement. This
burst the bubble Of anxiety and mes

compelled to shake hands with all who
could get near him. Preceded by q
brass band. the carriages started for
the Cedar Brook farm, the home of

At the farm an informal luncheon
was provided. Mr.. Bryan was intro
duced to 200 men as he entered the
house. Shortly after o'clock the party
started for Music hall, which was
packed 10 ito utmost capacity There
were many Republicans in the hall, and
also many gold standard Democrats
The speaker said he had no hope Of
converting any man who in 1896 voted
against free silver and did not know
why he voted. The man who voted
against free silver, and who knew why
he voted that way, was a man open
fer conviction.
Bimetallism Strong in West.
BimetaIlism, Mr.. Bryan. said, was
stronger today in the west than over
before. The armies of England had

much applause. and Mr.. Bryan said:

He said he had been asked to drop
the money question. In reply, he found
say he considered it the greatest ques-
ton that had ever been presented to
the American people. He would not
drop il, but would stand by all the
principles Of the Democratic party.
