( LINCOLN, June 29.-( Special Tel
egram. when Governor Morehead
arose to introduce william ]. Bryan
from the balcony of the Lindell hotel,
probably 5000 people were massed
in front of the hotel
Governor Morehead said that it
was a pleasure to welcome back to
Lincoln and the state a man who had
not been afraid to fight the battles
of the common people, for it was hard
work these days to find such man.
Mr. Bryan was greeted by a round of
hearty applause when he came to the
front of the bancony. He stated that
he had furnished the papers with a copy
of the speech he expected to make so
thatIthe people of the country could read
in lhe morning what he would say to-
nigNt and he wanted to be fair with
the Sapers and would read his speech. and
if the people could stand for It, he would
try to do so, but It was much harder
on him than on them. but after 1t was
4 over he would say some things which
he had not written.
Mr.. Bryan's Speech.
Mr.. Bryan said in substance:
Governor Morehead. Mayor Bryan and
Friends 1t Is delightful to look once
mote into the familiar faces OF the
frlJnds of more than a quarter OF cen
turf. You, our neighbors, have a home
in our hearts. as 1 hope we have in
yours. 1t is good OF you to welcome US
debt of gratitude which has been accumu-
,lating throughout The years. We are
looking forward with pleasant anticipa-
tions to renewal Of the acquaintances
which have made Lincoln so dear to us.
I'VE have already commenced to rest
the very sight OF these boundless prairies
is soothing. We are away from the ex-
elements that come with official respon-
sibility, and in position to appreciate
the advantages of those who live in this
favored portion of the union.
II congratulate you upon the fact that
you enjoy an environment which lends
itself to the calm consideration of the
nations welfare Lou are especially for
tunate in that you can take counsel of
the producers of wealth End do not have
to be irritated daily by the producers of
trouble. 1t is we'll that you are thirty
six hours journey from the New York
newspapers-the journalistic mosquitoes
cannot carry the germs OF the red fever
so far; II is well that you are not COM
PEELED to rely upon them for the ma
terial upon which you form your opinions.
Intolerance of East.
THE owners Of some Of the New York
k.papers are much better acquainted with
klfope than they are with the United
h Nates, and they reflect the sentiment of
old world rather than that of the
W. The Allegheny mountains are a
Jdsend to the Mississippi valley they
|erve as a sort of a dyke; they protect
~ from being inundated by the prejudice
and intolerance of that portion of the
eastern press which affects a foreign
accent. The owner of one of the leading
lingo papers of New York lives on the
other side of the Atlantic; think of this
norkesident using the columns of an
A1ierican paper to libel both the native
boFn and the naturalized citizens of this
i country who are helping to develop the
resources of the nation. while he, lux
uriating abroad. is advocating a policy
which. II adopted by the country, would
waste our accumulated wealth upon bat
tlefieds as the wealth Of Europe is be
ing wasted. Some of the New York
papers are owned by men who either by
birth, by social ties or by investments
are so intimately connected with preda-
tor wealth that they cannot look at any
