ment. It seems that | am running
against two republicans instead OF
one, but our platform is so plain and
the purpose OF our party is so well
expressed in that platform that | am
prepared to meet the argument of one

Hurting defiance at his republican
| loppOnents, William j. Bryan speak
ing here tonight before an immense
audience so declared himself. The
democratic leader reached here at

mitted on all sides today and tonight
that at no time during the present
