LOUD CHEERS FOR BRYAN.
Amid storm OF cheers Mr.. Bryan began his
speech. He felt perfectly at home In this city
he said, and wasn't all disturbed at speaking
from the same platform with men who had
/ fought against him. or those who announced
their decided preference for candidates He
had no choice, he declared. all he wanted was a

ties as the Albany conventions PLATFORM" de-
manded Mr.. Bryan There was more. IT is
politics for babes and stockings to preach that
the gold and silver question be kept out of the

against Mr.. Clevelands election That was
thirteen years ago, yet in the last convention did

platform, a platform which means nothing, and
appeals only TO towards and straddIers Demo-

Mr.. Bryan continued.
| This platform is given forth as a model for the
