Mr.. Bryan talked to an audience {
10000 in Columbu from the yer,
platform on which Mark Hanna face
the Ohio Republicans only few day
ago, and tonight Mr. Bryan dineC
with ! 700 democrats. guests of th'
Mohawk Club, of Detroit, while , ,00t
Others looked on, and every hour to
day he received fresh evidences of the
swift unificatiOn OF the Democratic
party in all parts OF the country.
Leader after leader, representing
every faction and every interest, sent
messages of confidence and hope to
him.
Hardly had Mr.. Bryan seated him
self in the car which carried him from
Columbus TO Detroit to-day, when he
was greeted by q slender man whose
earnest face and candid eyes marked
him in the thong that pressed around
the Democratic leader. He was
Frank Monnett, the late ATTORNEY
General OF Ohio, who was politically
degraded by Mark Hanna for enforc-
ing the anti-trusts law against the
Standard Oil Company. Mr.. BRYAN
congratulated Mr.. Monnett heartily
on the courage and intelligence he
had shown in attempting to honestly
enforce the law. 1t was an extraor-
binary scene, pregnant with meaning.
Here was faithful public officer who |
refused bride of $4OO, 900 and drag
ged the most dead law breaker in the |
world to the bar of Justice, spurned
by the leader of the Republican party.
thanked and honored by the Demo
cratic party.
INSTRUCTED DELEGATES
On his way to Detroit Mr.. Bryan
was accompanied by committee Of
Columbus citizens, headed by Chair
man Philbrick. Congressman Lentz
was one OF the party Various lead
ers boarded the car during the Jour
ney.
Mr. Bryan read the newspapers and
seemed gratified by the announcement
that the Michigan State Convention
had instructed it's delegates to the
Kansas City to vote for him. This
Is the tenth State that has instructed
its delegates for Mr.. Bryan, and h,
has now 1913 instructed delegates
not speak of individual districts that
nave instructed delegates in various |,
states. More than a hundred of
these delegates represent States that i,
voted against Mr.. Bryan and the
Chicago platform in the last Ma
tlonal Convention. 1t is now certain
within the next three weeks two-thirds !,
OF the delegates to Kansas CITY will
be instructed for the democratic
leader.
L showed Mr.. Bryan my figures.
and asked him what he thought :.
about instructed delegations. =
Il would rather be nominated bv :,
he people who elect delegates than
20 be merely the nominee of a conven-
ion, but still greater honor to be F.
'hosen by the people, who are the
source OF authority in a government g
ike this. A President who attempts n,
he abuses which have grown I'D I'M W
Ter Republican rule will have a diff II
lcult tas even when the people are -
'ehind him. The task cannot be ac- al
emphasized at all without popular nj
Import. That is how | feel. The q,
'eople can only speak in the National ri
convention through instructions. If az
delegate desires to carry out the w,
FISHES OF those who elect him. he can at
ot object to instructions. \,
There was roar that made the \;
in the hall dance when Mr. -;
ulzar said: \,
