 men who did not support the ticket that Bryan led to go to the St. Louis Con- vention and write the platform of the party" said Mir. Hefiin. We stand for ;he nomination of some Democrats wno supported Bryan.
 Laughed at Grimaces.
 He had what he said were a numbe. of cIippings from The Advertiser. He read these with grimaces and exagger- atioi.s that touched the disabilities of the audience In reading out these extracts he showed his gifts as an actor. The audience rot much amusement out of this part of his address.
 The reading included extracts from The Advertiser in 1892 when Kolb was a can dldate for Governor. and from The Ad- vertiser of 1896 when Bryan was a candl- date for the Presidency. They were on bolting and party regularity.
 From this he went on to the abuse of Cleveland. He attacked Cleveland, aileg. ing that as President he had sent a telc. gram of congratulation to the convention
 which had nominated Palmer and Buck. ner. He particularly attacked the lasl
 Cleveland administration.
 At this juncture, MT. Hefin was an noyed by interruptions from some enthu
 siastic supporter in the gallery. Int supporter did not appear to be quite a himself. He insisted on interpolating re marks in support of the speaker. more ol less intelligible and more or less to thu point.
 After berating Cleveland and his admin istration to his helrt's content, thu speaker started in to telling stories. Th' stories were told in his characteristic style. In this portion of his speech, h' got the greater share of his applause. Hi audience found them intensely amusing. Hearst or Cleveland. Branching off from the storytelling, h said:
 'They have deliberately challenged U to a contest in Alabama, a contest be tween the regular Democrats and tn Democrats who supported Palmer an Buckner. I have no choice for President but desire to announce right here tha between the man who supported Brya in 1896. with all his resources and wit all his energy, William R. Hearst, an the man who flashed congratulations t the convention of bolters, I will be foun with the Hearst supporters" He declared that he did not favor reaffirmation of the Kansas City plat form. and said that he would supper Cleveland If he was nominated, but sai that it would be nauseating dose. He declared that warfare had bee made on him and Mir. Stallings becaus they had exposed the still hunt that wa going on to capture the State for Clevs land. He called out a large list of Democrat of Alabama whom, he said, would b suitable candidates for delegates at larg because they had supported Bryan. Tn
 time had cCyrie, he said, when none hu regulars should be put on guard. In con
 nection with the race for delegate fror
 the State at large he told his Bill WI
 loughby story.
 He too, had a eulogy for Hearst an what he had done and he praised hir
 highly to the crowd. Amid applause an laughter he told the story of the negr preacher and his imitation horn of Ga
 briel.
 Tn winding up his address he raited ou against the spirit of intolerance whic he said had been manifested in Mont
 gomery by the morning paper. He eS claimed vehemently that free discussio of governmental policies was tho great est boon of the American government. II declared that as soon as one honest, Toy al Democrat named his choice for Pres dent he was straightway subjected t continued abuse.
 But we'll fight them to the utternost, he said. wen appeal to the boys wh stood by Bryan to stand by loyal an | tried Democrats" sest ,Ae ssst-, pol 2
