Bryan. 1--WE are met to welcome home
the first citizen of the republic" the
said-"not yet the first official, but
the first citizen by common consent
He is a democrat, for he believes in
the honesty and the intelligence of
the people. He is a republican for he
believes in the republican form OF
government Men say he is eloquent,
and so he is; but the charm of his
elouuence is his sincerity, its strength
is his moral courage. He has finished
the long Journey around the world,
and now we of America know that we
have made no mistake in him; for
everywhere the people have seen him
as wehave seen him; for everywhere
they have hailed him as the American
leader of ideal democracy. Over that
principle the thought of the world is
agitated today In some form or other
in all civilized countries democracy
is struggling against privilege. Millions
of our people have but just begun TO
learn that this irrepressible conflict
is being waged in the United States.
They are just beginning to learn their
American democracy must abolish
special privilege or special privilege
will abolish American democracy.
They are just beginning to learl their
need for the democratic inspiration
of another Jefferson and the democrat
ic leadership of another Lincoln.
They are learning it fast. And with it
they are learning another thing. They
are learning that they have among
them a simple citizen whose qualities
of leadership all the world recognizes
They are learning that for ten years
they have had in training an able and
sincere leader of the democracy o.
all political parties, against the in
trenched interests of special privileges
of every kind and degree. They have
come to know, for the true man that
he is, is our buest Of tonight" He closed
thus: "Mr. Bryan: In the name and in

AS he rose the audience was on it's
feet as one man. The cheering which
began at that instant did not end I'M
til 8:48 and then only after Mr..
Bryan had waved his hands franti-
cally in an effort to still the waves
of noise which rolled in from the au-
dience and beat upon the speaker
platform. At first the man for whom
the demonstration was planned stood
bowling and smiling. Then his attl-
tude was one of appeal This at last
prevailed, and as cheering died away
in reverberating echoes along the
ordered roof Mr.. Bryan began his
address.

Antitrust League, called the assemb-
lage to order.
Governor Folk was given an ova'
ton, and it was several minutes be-
fore he could speak. When he finally
secured silence, he asked the audi
ence to be as quiet as possible, other
wise none of the speakers, not even
Mr. Bryan himself, could be heard.
The mention of Bryan's name called
forth renewed cheering.
Governor Folk concluded by intro
ducing Mayor Tom L. Johnson OF
Cleveland as chairman of the meet
ing. The applause was deafening as
Mr. Johnson came forward on the
speakers platform. At this same mo
ment William Randolph Hearst en-
tered the box which had been set
aside for him For two minutes the
crowd cheered without interruption.
Many rose and waved hats and hand
kerchiefs in the direction of Hearsts
box. Then there were many cheers
for Johnson.
Crowd Fairly Beside Itself.
When this joint demonstration had
but partly subsidized, Mr.. Bryan, &C
companied by his wife, entered the
garden and appeared on the platform.
The crowd, which had been so free
in it's cheering before, was now fairly
beside itself Men shouted and
Jumped on seats. They cheered and
threw their hats into the air, appa'
rently caring naught as to the ultl-
mate fate of the headgear. Women
waved handkerchiefs and cheered as
loudly as they could. Five minutes
after Mr.. Bryan appeared on the plat
form the crowd hOwled, cheered
and screamed, but eventually Mr..
Johnson secured comparative quiet
and introduced Augustus Thomas,
whose every reference to Mr.. Bryan
called for additional cheers.
Mr.. Thomas was cheered for sew
eral minutes after he had concluded
and bowed many times in acknowl
edgment. Mr.. Johnson then arose to
introduce Mr.. Bryan.
