an, saying he believed firmly that the
patriotism and good sense OF the
American people was too great to place
in the office OF President any man who
did not represent the plain people of
the country. as Jackson and Lincoln
had represented them.
Mr.. Bryan was such man and he
took great pleasure in introducing him.

The Crowd Enthusiastic.
The fact that the train vas an hour
behind schedule time in reaching Indi-
annapolis did not seem TO dampcn the
enthusiasm OF the crowds that waited.
How many there were is impossible to
estimate. but such was the pressure
that 1t required the utmost energy OF
Col. Martin to get his party landed in
the waiting carriages. At one moment
Senator Jones, chairman OF the national

and had TO be sought out like wan
derlng plelad.
