MIGHTY OVATION FOR THE
GREAT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

TIMENTs." SAYS THE DIS
PATcH-NEws, A REPUBLICAN
ORGAN OVATION NoN-PAR-
TIsAN.

The Parkersburg Dispatch-News
OF yesterday contained a very able
account OF the ovation to Col. Bryan
In Petersburg Saturday evening.
The Dispateh-News is loyal to the
Republican party and at the same
time-eminently fair in its report of
the BryAs> meeting. We publish be-
low some oil ne salient features of
the address as reparted:
Mr.. Bryan began by compliment
Ing his audience and by expressing
his pleasure at seeing so many. He
spoke of Honesty in Politicsl ald
Democracy as the Peoples Hope. ;"
Audience Responsive.
Mr.. Bryan's voice was even
stronger, more persuasive and more
commanding than at the time of his
last presence here. He does not at
tempt TO drive his audience. He
coaxes 1t. 1t was not a party audi
ence; IL was representative gath
ering and there were many ladies
both on the stage and in the main
auditorium. Before he had half An.
ished a response met every sally.
and the audience showed IL felt the
noble sentiments the speaker ex-
pressed.
Mr. Bryan passed quickly from
one Of them to another. He began
by complimenting the president. IL
was true, he said, that he had en-
dorsed the president for many OF
the things he has attempted to do,
but he continued:
mo Republican president can
crowd me off my own platform: I
= don't intend to abandon the Demo
cratic doctrine because a Republi.
can president has endorsed 1t.
II am grateful to the president
for making so many of my ideas re-
Specialize"
Mr.. Bryan's Spirit.
After relating story about the
girl who had tried to make her
sweetheart propose and had met
with the statement from John that
he had nothing agln nobody" Mr..
Bryan said that was the way he
felt He said that tonight have
nothin' agin nobody" We are all
human, he declared, and II was a
sense OF gratitude that made him
grateful to Mr.. Roosevelt for max
Ing so many of his ideas respecta-
Die. Things that he was accused
OF being an anarchist for represent
Ing, he declared, were now regard
ed as safe and sane. The things
once regarded as radical. for which
ne stood, are now necessary.
He said that he was glad the pa
pers treated him so much better.
He formerly was Obliged to keep
many newspapers out of his home
because they kept his family upset
by what they said and by the car
toons. Yet a few weeks ago Col
hers Weekly came out with a car
toon picturIng him as a bird.
"A bird, mark you" said the
speaker. And I'm the same cartoon
President Roosevelt was pictured az
bird" The audience applauded
heartily.
THE only difference" continued
the speaker, was that the president
was on the nest while I was still
seated on limb. (Laughter.)
Stolen Feathers.
And the nest was feathered with
feathers plucked from me. In the
cartoon had but a single feather

In his last message. sent TO congress
few days ago, he made plea for
tariff reform after the next cleo
ton. The president wants that last

Rounds of applause followed this
sally, but the speaker remarked that
he had more than one feather left
which had not been plucked by the
president. and that he had other
feathers growing.
II am willing to keep on growing

As n Dreamer.

Bryan next referred to the recent
statement of Senator Beveridge. o!
Indiana. that he (Bryan) was a
dreamer. He said that he paid liz.
tie attention to that until few
days later. when Speaker Cannon
called him a dreamer. Then he be-
gan to take notice. Then Governor
Cummins called him a dreamer, and
he began to feel the force of tn
charges. and finally when Governor
Hanly called him a dreamer he said
he did not seek to escape but plead.
ed guilty with Justification.
Then he said he went to the Pr
Bile. He did not hope to refnte Re-
publican testimony in any other way
because that was authority which
the Republican pRty, tr an other
party, could not oppose.
And in his BiSle he read the
wonderful story of Joseph, the
dreamer. And he found that when
Joseph told his dreams his brothe-s
grew angered with him and they put
him down in the pit. and when the
merchants came they sold him to
the merchants, who took him dow.
to Egypt.

Mr.. Bryan declared that he did
not want to be a dreamer, but a
worker, and that when he had fin
ished LIES work and when his DAYS
were numbered he had no fonder
hope than that his work had been
right, and in the cause of justice.
Bryan said that he believed the peo-
pie were about ready to try the ex-
pertinent of honesty in government.
The Great Awakening.
Mr.. Bryan asked II the audience

driven out; how the party bosses
have become more and more dis
