 itMr Bryan entered the stand at 7:2O on the arm of Congressman William Sulzer. His eye lighted up and a hap py smile appeared as he saw the thou sands before ktm waving their arms hyster1cally and cheering at the top or their voices. For ten minutes he stood before them lowing and waving his hand and begging for silence. At the request of MT Hamburger he first stepped on chair that all might see him. and afterward on u table. shak- ing his head, smiling and waving his hand to command attention When he spoke his, voice showed but little the eHects of the twenty speeches he made before in New York state lyester- uay.
