thUsiasm. Although the attendance
OF southern nOtables was smaller than
at first expected, on account OF Mr..
Bryan's recent acceptances of numer'
Gus invitations from other southern
cities. still the mass meeting at the
armory was a representative southern
gathering, graced by the Kentucky
leaders of Democracy a number or
prominent Democrats from other
southern states and a great mass OF
citizens from Kentucky and Indiana.
Mr.. Bryan was welcomed to Kentucky
by his whilom opponent, Henry Wat
terson, who presided over the meet
ing. The other speakers preceding
Mr.. Bryan were Senator Carmack of
Tennessee, representing the south,
and Senator w. ] Stone OF Missouri,
who introduced the guest Of honor.
Mr.. Bryan read n lengthy statement
celebrating his position as to govern
ment ownership Of railroads, but de-
| clared that the making Of platforms
rests with the voters Of the whole
party, and never have and never
will attempt to force my opinions, or
those OF any few men, on the people.
