We're cries of What's the matter with

When Mr.. Bryan began TO speak, there
was general silence in the audience and
while there were afterwards slight inter-
ruptions IL Seemed evident from the be-
ginning that there was no intention to
make unfriendly demonstrations such as

publican campaign is confessedly a fall

failed to make the campaign that IL
started out TO make and today IL is not
In position to defend itself before the
