AN ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING

Omaha, Neh.. Oct. 17.--Every seat in the big auditorium was filled to- night and standing room was in de- mand almost an. hour before the time at which William J. Bryan was ad- vertised to appear. and for an hour af- terwards hundreds came and went un- able to gain admission to the great hall.
 That 1t was an enthusiastic crowd was evidenced by prolonged demon- stration that greeted every reference to Mfr Bryan by the speakers who preceded him and the riot of applause that shook tho great edif1ce when ev- cry one of the thousands stood and waved flags, and gave greeting to Ne- braska's most distinguished citizen when he appeared upon the stage.
 Mayor James c. Dahlman presided over the meeting, ana back or nrm on the stage were 800 prominent Dehi ocrats of the city.
 MT. Bryan's qualification was eVi-s dent as he stepped to the front or the stage and was received ny applause by the gathered thousands. MT bryah said that in view of the fact that many in the hall were Republicans. ne Lele like SO shaping his. address as to please tha Toamocrats without treading upon inc toes of the Republicans. but ne aaand q aeiIeve that the defense or | inc Democrats is more acceptable 10 the Republicans this year than ever De | fore r,ar,. | ocratfe President and House are | sSsst1S he believes the Senate can De ,,srssaAsa to aid in reforms, Conunn- l ing. he took up the planks s oa ,,as nAs f se%.s, y.tfic platform which uemands he euarantee of the deposits or oA'NS Said he: - n.onosed in I NN i. fo most.

 Mr Bryan told of an old German
 farmer who he declared had mad'
 inc argument In the best form he ha'
 heard it. He said;
 "When go to the banker Tor losn he tells me to get my farme friends to go my security. When h. asks for my deposits, lot him get hi

 n say: This bank will fail?' No. tn notice says This bank is closed. an
 that Is all" MT. Bryan then took up the tarii and other Issues following the line o argument heretofore used.
