THE BRYAN BLOW OUT
The Orator With a Big Reputation
and.PresidentiaI Aspirations IT.
tracts a Big Crowd to
Prescott.
Mr.. Bryan Presents the Prescott AHdisnss
With the Same Old PoIitieaIspahaIHm
that he has flashed to the
Thousands.

Bryan Day has passed, and it was
a success so far as citizens OF Pres
colt were concerned. They could
not have been more enthusiastic
than they were, or at least that pOr-
tion of them who are admirers Of
him.
The train arrived at the depot at
$40 2. N. and its arrival was an
Lounced by the blowing of the tw
whistles of the Prescott h-iectTi e
company and by the firing of anviis.
There was big crowd at the depot
and a line of procession was formed,
and preceded by the Prescott bras
band, escorted the visitor to Hotel
Burke where an elegant dinner w-s
partaken of at an expense of 81 pei
plate.
Shortly after s O'Clock Mr.. Bryaa
made his appearance on the plar-
form at the court house, which Was
the signal for considerable applause
but not such as would have expeei
ed from the audience of the SIZE
that had congregated there.
j. G. Herndon introduced the
speaker to the audience in one ii
his most happy and eloquent veins,
aud in fact, although his address
was but brief, in eloquenee and
beauty of diction 1t surpassed tha,
of Mr.. Bryan.
Lack of space, as we'll as lack Of
facilities for getting 1t in type, pr
vents the publication of Mr. Bryan
speech. but any who are Gesirous 81
reading it practically as he delivered
it last evening can find it In the LIS
Angeles Times of April 10, as the
same speech, set to the same mnsse
was delivered in Los Angeles.
The speech was disappointing tO
very many, If not majority Of hi-
hearers, and particularly t. sbo>-
who listened to his address at the
depot four years ago. OF course
very manv of his followers ana al
mirers profess to have been wei
pleased with it and the JoORNAL-
MINER bas no reason 20 doubt thelI
sincerity.
He spoke OF free silver, of Im-
perialism, expansion, the English
Boer war, and of trusts, and charge
iae republican party with being r.
sponsible for all that was not gOoC
in all of them, and if the peoP.e
will only elect him and give him !
chance he would regulate or wsp=
cut all of the unfaYorable elementi
of these things.
HIS address was composed largeil
of an arraignment of the republi
can party, his charges against 1t eou
sisting of unsupported assertion
and most of them without fOuada
tion in fact.
The audience. while quite large
was not as large as the facilities 70
seating, there being a great mani
empty seats. In less than half Al
hour after the speaking had com
menced, one by one of the aud.ene'
began to drop out, and by 9 o'elocl
there was a regular stream of them
leaving.
1t may be stated, though, in ex
PLANTATION, that while many left iron
disappointment of the speake
many others left on account Of tn
chilly atmosphere, as it was IN
pleasantly cold sitting there in tn
night wind, even with overeOats anC
wraps or.
At the close of the speech Mr
BRYAN was driven to Dake's operi
house, where he made brief cal a
the dance given there, ans
was thence driven to the home of L
G. Norris. where an informal recep
ticn was held and where he Ee
mained until time to take the tran
this morning for Albuquerque. Tn
beautiful and spacious resi6ene
was very beautifully decorated fO
the occasion, there being a grea
profusion of flowers. Quite mum
ber of ladies and gentlemen ealle'
during the evening to pay their It
spects to Prescott's distinguishe
visitor.
