say to you, my friends, that that ad-
vice given to me by my father has
been worth more to me than any
amount Of money could have been, and
1 believe that it is a principle that we
should Undue in the minds and the
hearts of all confidence of triumph OF
every righteous cause. If evils come,
let us have confidence in the intelli-
gence and the integrity and the patrt-
otism of the people. I am an optimist.

I believe that the great movements
for the uplifting of society are going
forward with resistless force.
eve cannot stop the triumph of the
truth. We may accelerate 1t; we may
retard it.; we cannot stop it.
but IL l were to talk too long on
principles like these I might be tempt
ed to apply them to conditions and to
the issues and that is not my purpose
this morning.
Didn't Buy Nomination
"A great honor has fallen to me.
The voters OF a great party have made
me their standard bearer. I need not
tell you that did not buy this nomi-
nation. I need not tell you that | had
no way of coercing people. Why, my
friends I have no way to coerce the
people who live about memo way OF
coercing the people of Normal or OF
Lincoln or of Lancaster or OF Ne

am glad that the responsibility Is theirs,
not mine. (Laughter.)
This I know: I appreciate 1t be-
cause it has been free Will ofrering
presented by some 10000 OF my coun-
trymen. We are going to do the best
we can to present to the public the
issues of this campaign.
I'VE are going to meet you as best
we can and then we are going to be-
lieve that whatever the result is on
election day il is going to be good, and
if it is for us we will feel that we are
gong to be permitted to put into prac-
tice the principles which will be pre-
sented, and If 1t is against us we will
know that we can learn by the manner
in which our opponents apply their
principles whether they were right in
advocating them or we right in OPP
posing them.
you have come out at the beginning
often as you will, and there is one
thing about it, the pleasure of success

Hold AlI-Night Session
An aIl-night session was held at
Fairview last night by Mr.. Bryan, a
few personal friends and a number of
newspaper men. During the long hours,
while waiting for the reading Of the
platform and the balloting on the nomi-

juice, he retired to snatch a few hours

At 7 o'clock he was up and about,
for the struggling advance guard of
enthusiastic Lincoln citizens, calling to
pay their respects, were already arriv-

The homage of the people he had
known for so many years, many of
them opposed to him in politics, af-

at the record breaking demonstration
made by the delegates in the Colorado
capital.
At o'clock tonight Mr.. Bryan re-
tired to enjoy a well earned rest.
1t is not probable Mr.. Bryan will go

upon the return from the convention,
or, If that were inconvenient, offering
