A r ceptiOn by Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Shep-
ard and Mr.. Carmack followed, and
then at 115 three hundred members Of
the league sat down to a banquet in
the great dining room of the hotel.
Among those at the dinner was Miss
Ruth Bryan, who is accompanying her

Then the Speaking.
At the conclusion of the dinner the
crowd repaired to the mammoth tent
on the lawn in front of the hotel. In a
few minutes every seat was taken and
the canvas at the sides was removed
IN order that hundreds who were un-
able to get in might see and hear.
The speakers appearance on the
platform was the signal for loud and
continued applause.
Mayor Collins introduced Edward NJ
Shepard, of New York, who said in his
address:
"The American people are today
thoroughly ready to deprive the great
y
of the special tariff privileges which
they enjoy. If the Democratic party in
selecting its issue defer, as it is bound
to do to the popular will, it has no
choice. The issue of tariff reform is
irrevocably at the foremost"
Senator Carmack followed, and for
nearly an hour and half held the at
IGNITION of his hearers. Among other
.1aings, he said:
1.-THE president is now engaged in a
terrific lingual assault upon the trusts.
He demands that there shall be more
and stronger laws to curb the power 1
have always understood it to be the
duty of the president to advise con-
gress by message of such legislation
as he thinks will promote the general
welfare. But he waits until congress
has adjourned and then tells the peo-
pie what he intends to have enacted by
some other congress at some other
time. If you wish to deal effectively
with monopoly, If you want to. sup
1ress the trusts, you must put a party
in power that means to do it. We
know that the Republican party will
not even try"
Bailey Writes.
Senator Baileys letter contained the
following:
"All Democrats agree with each 9TH
er upon the main and permanent prin-
ciples of our government, and they
ought to be willing to submit their
differences over issues, however i'm
portant to the assembled wisdom OF
our party, and abide by the decision
when fairly reached. Upon no other
basis can any organization be main
tained and there is no organization to
which this best can be so easily ap-
piled as the Democratic party. A
Democrats party aff1liation ought to
be determined upon what we have
been pleased to call the fundamental
principles to the government and sure
ly 1t ought to be easy for men who
agree upon those principles to su-
bordinate their differences upon issues
of day or of decade, and act cor
daily and harmoniously together"
Now Comes Bryan's Turn.
The presentation of Mr.. Bryan de.
veloped great enthusiasm. Cheers
greeted him as he stepped to the from
of the platform, and he was severa
times interrupted by demonstration.
of approval. He said:
There can always be harmon,
among Democrats who have the pur.
pose that Jefferson had and are will.
ing to employ the methods that Jeffer.
son employed. There can always b,
harmony among Democrats who be-
neve in a government of the peopl,
