SIVe because of its unconscious tri-
butte to a noble mar living. and a
noble sOn lying in death a hundred
yards distance. Mr.. Bryan at once as
sured the audience that it was no

launched out into a magnificent tribute

accomplishments. declaring that a hun
dred years hence he would live, not

liam Jennings Bryan arrived here to-
day to make eleven speeches in North
Carolina, winding up with an address
at Charlotte tomorrow night.
Rain has been falling intermittentIv

damper on the spirits of those gathered

Not more than 400 persons were al

The limited capacity OF the hall was
filled. Governor Glenn introduced Mr.
Bryan briefly.
At the outset Of his speech Mr.. Bryan
said that North Carolina had a pecu-
liar claim upon his affections, as it was
one OF the first states of the Union
to declare through its delegates that it
wanted him for the democratic nomi-
AoLIO1 lOl ISUo. +
1t was not difficult, he said, to locate
the original Bryan man. In this ON
nection he promised that in any future
campaign the people of ibis state could
always call upon him.
Taking Secretary Shaw's Asheville
speech, Mr.. Bryan said he felt grateful
to him for the service he had rendered
the democratic party but he had not
paid North Carolina as high a compli-
ment as ia deserved. Secretary Shaw,
he declared, had tried to palm eff in
this state some second hand clothing
he could not get rid Of in Iowa. He
had brought a speech viii III had been
rejected in his own state. He declared
that Secretary Shaw is the high pIi2st
OF the stand-patters, that he goes be-
Wound every other republican in think

every thing necessary.
Secretary Shaw" he said. has not
a word in favor of any modification of
the tariff schedule, while in ether
states, New England states, and Iowa,
conspicuous republicans are demand
ing it and even Mckinley had reached
a pOino where he saw something must
be done to extend our trade.
You can't take Mr.. Shaw's argumcat
as true without believing that these
protected manufacturers set mCncy out
OF the American people and then get it
again out Of the foreigners aftcrward."
On the question Ct demco-otlc planks
advocated by republicans. Mr.. Bryan
said that whenever a republican speaks
OF anything with praise and rejoicing
he IS speaking of something done in
accordance with thu democratic doc
trine. When he apologies, he is talk
ing about some purely republican doc
trine. Everything tie republicans say
on the tariff he added, is in the way
OF an apology.
Mr.. Bryan said there might be some
good business people in the south who
now, that the rate question was set
tied, felt almost ready to get over into
the republican party and they tell YOU
it because they are afraid CT socialism.

Mr.. Bryan paid a beautiful tribute to
