came manifest that the workers had
surrendered their privilege and had
made 1t a Bryan day. Within an hour
after his arrival in the city the demo-
cratic candidate for president. stand

hotel received the plaudits of thou
sands of toilers, as they marched by
in the monster labor pared. The air
was rent with cheers, and the en-
thusiasm was unbounded. Not un-
frequently the marchers halted before
the presidential candidates seat,
doffed their caps and gave three
cheers for ''our next president" Many
more familiarly addressed him as

shout went up when he reached out his
hands and caught cigarmarkers' un-

smiled continually. bowed and clapped
his hands. always giving the women
in the parade an equal share of ap-

crowd in front of the hotel that Mr..
Bryan yielded. In the course OF a

several miles away, where he was
scheduled to deliver Labor day ad-
dress. There a multitude awaited his
coming. AS he neared the park the
word was passed around and he got
another ovation as he came in sight.
