dressed the Itnlian-American League.
The waving of 1000 Italian and
American flags greeted Mr.. Bryan
when he entered the club. Every one
stood up and yelled and cheered. and
it was ten minutes before tho tribute
was over. Then 1t was only silenced
by Mr., Bryan himself who held out
his hand to signify that he wanted to
speak.

near the stage.

note sounded in both the speech of Mr..
Bryan and those of other speakers.

was the signal for an outbreak of the
most unbounded enthusiasm. This was
worked up to n point where it became
contagious. and every person in the
large audience jumped To his feet and
waved the American flag which he
found in his seat. The band played the
star Spangled Banner" but at first
could not be heard for the tremendous
volley of applause.
Mr.. Bryan was profusely greeted by
those, on the platform. He returned |
their greetings in the most cordial
manner. AS he faced the audiece ne
