i being impossible to report his
mech in this issue, we give below his
'pssch At Barlow last Wednesday, as
,soortei by the COurier-Informant:
'hHon. N. P Bryan, candidate for the
,om;nation for the United States
sostorship, addressed a deeply inter-
.sisd audience, in the court room, on
vsadsy nightSn advocacy of his claim
n the nomination. Mr.. Bryan already
Id 4 strong hold upon the confidence
and good will of our people who had
kad him and knew his view upon most
pbIic questions through his speeches
doiag the primary campaign asst
uIur He thel efore held not only the
interests, but the sympathy Of his
audience from the beginning to the close
Of his address.
AS this paper is a strong supporter
ofMr. Bryan's candidacy, and as he is
undoubtedly the leading candidate in
this county and in this section OF the
state, no excuse is deemed necessary
for making more than usually full re-
bort Of his address which followed close
i on the lines laid down in his print
d announcement issued q few weeks

Speaking of his relations to the late
Governor Broward, Mr.. Bryan said:
within a few days after his death
bot less than a thousand of his prom
inent and Influential supporters through
out the State had approved of my
andidacy. | have been content to
work in the ranks of the Democratic
party have never sought nor held
political Office, but because of this re-
guest came forward modestly, l trust,
yetnevertheless with all the determin-
,liO1 and courage of man wno has
,avictions, to take up the contest for
the principles which the people had
endorsed; and in doing so | do not mean
hsy that believed in. every thing
which Governor Broward believed in,
bat am q firm believer in the great
rVemmental principles which actuated
hin in public Office and have been an
earnest advocate Of them. Nor yet 90
q become a candidate for the purpose
efnheriting only his support Ii l did
not have any convictions of my own
would not ask or expect the people to
elect me 70 this high office.
1T is quite gratifying to me to learn
that many Of those who opposed Cover.
boz Broward have now assured me OF
their support. And not a few Of Sen.
sitor Taliaferro's friends have based
tAelr support of me- upon the reason
that while | made as vigorous a defense
q Governor Broward as it was possible
ia me to make, yel did not say any
tlng in the campo IN to which the
inends of Senate Taliaferro could
lua!y take exceptl1n.
y believe that Toe activities or the
ntvidual should be within his party

The individual members! OF a party,
