meet him. Superintendent of Police Colbert saw what was about to happen and dashed ahead of the crowd. YV'ltn the assistance of two or three officers the road waf Cleared back from the platform. Then the crowd reeognize-d the presidential candidate and set up an immense shout. From the street north of the station the police had a rope stretched back to the euro and the street was kept clear of the surgin throng. Just for a minute or two there was some confusion of people pressing- forward toward the car in the end of the train shed, but detectives and police ottlcers quickly got them under control, although ' It was, with great difficulty eager men. anxious to press their idol s hand, were held In check. " There was several minutes' delay in the tart of the party to the Grand Hotel. Myron King, the Governor's private secretary, stood at the step with a small stool to shorten the distance of the step to the ground, ready to assist the distinguished fcuest as he alighted. The chief ceremony at the station was the introduction of the candidate to Myron King, chairman of the reception committee-, which wes accomplished by Governor Matthews. Mr. Bryan appreciated the honor, but did not seem a bit abashed. Mayor Taggart officiated as master of the ceremonies. In a few minutes an open carriage, drawn by six black horses, drove Into Meridian street and turned toward the train, headed south. Other carriages turned north. Mayor Taggart saw that it would cause a good deal of confusion for the other members of the party to walk across the open space to their carriages and directed that all of them drive on across the tracks and return !n proper position for the parade. Some two or three minutes was lost by this arrangement. Meantime the police found it almost impossible 'to keep back the surging crowd and several men fought forward to the platform to reach the candidate's hand. With a smikj; Mr. Bryan signaled that his arm was sore" after reaching down to take one or two hands, and then he firmly declined to shake hands with others. After a time the carriages returned and Governor Matthews alighted and then turned to assist Mr. Bryan. They hurried

across to the carriage, in which they were seated with Mayor Taggart and Mr. Tomlinson, of Alabama. The first of the carriages was occupied ly Mr. Bryan, Governor Matthews. Mr. Tomlinson snd Mayor Taggart. In the next carriage were Chairman Martin. A. G. Smith, Jhn Overmeyer and Adam Heimbererer. Two more carriages followed containing the newspaper men. The carriages moved 'between a double iPe of men formed tfor the parade and when they reached the head of the procession there was a brief delay while the street was cleared. , THE PARADE STARTS. Up Meridian street from the Union Station were stationed the citizens' reception committee, the Gray Club, the Cleveland Club, a so-called Republican free-silver club, the Bryan "Traveling Men's" Club and a few other organisations. When the Bryan party was ready to start the signal was given, a band struck up a march, the various organizations iell into lines and the parade began. The Cleveland Club, lined up by twos on either side of the 'street, formed an open passageway for the carriage and then fel! In to do escort duty marching along with the candidate. The other members of Mr. Bryan's party and the committee that escorted him from Jjouisvllle also rode In carriages. The carriage In which Mr. Bryan rode was decorated with flags, and. with the top thrown back, he was plainly visible to the curious throngs that stood along the sidewalk or hung from the windows and housetops to see him pass. William Jennings Bryan was easily recognized, as the many lithographs of him are fair likenesses. He looked somewhat tired and a trifle careworn. His face was rough and unshaven. tie wore the familiar turn-down white collar and black bow tie of his pictures. He wore a black overcoat, turned up at the collar. In his hand he held most of the time a brown tourist hat. As he was uncovered the fact that he was partially bald was easily t,een, as the wind played hide-and-seek in the scanty' black curl that graces the top of his head. Walking beside Mr. Bryan's carriage were a number of reporters, several detectives and a detail of poiice officers under the ccmriand of Captain Quigley, who left the hmise yesterday for the first time after a long siege of illness. It was almost impossible to Judge how enthusiastic or lacking in enthusiasm the crowds were along the line of march. Immediately ahead of the carriage was the reception committee and a brass band, while beside it marched the Cleveland Club. Those In the parade, of course, fehouted themselves hoarse. But the shouts from the crowds on the sidewalk seemed forced and feeble and were of not long continued duration. At times there was ailance. This would be broken by wi'd cries of "Hurrah for Bryan" from the Cleveland Club and other organizations marching. Such cries were the signal for answering shouts from the crowds. At only one place on the line of march was there anything, like a blockade, ana that was at the corner of Washington and Meridian streets, where a long line of street cars were backed up. But even there it was not necessary to make a stop, and the carriage continued steadily forward. From , the Union Station to Washington street there was a fringe of people three or four deep standing along the rope, while back of them, along the sidewalk, poured a stream of excited men and boys, who iseemed to be there to make a noise. The most impressive sight, from the speaker's carriage, was perhaps a glimpse of the circle as the carriage reachea Washington street. The steps leading up to the monu- ' ment were black with people, and Meridian street, from Washington street to the Circle, was filled. NONCOMMITAL, ON POSTOFFICE. " Up Pennsylvania street by the postofflce and the Denison Hotel , the parade passed, almost like a funeral procession. A real circus parade has bfen known to call out more exclamations oj' surprised delight than those with which the Boy Orator was greeted. Occasionally enthusiasts broke through the line of the marching clubs and the escort of police officers, determined to shake hands with Mr. Bryan. They were re strained by the Mayor, who said that the ! presiaentiai canaicute was tired and must refuse to speak to anybody. One man, more persistent than the others. Insisted on reaching past the Mayor, but, although lit fcven called Mr. Bryan's name, he received no response and fell back considerably crestfallen. As the carriage passed th-. postcrace a newspaper man suggested to Mr. Bryan that Indianapolis wants a new federal building and would expect to get i: "when he was elected." Mr. Bryan heard the suggestion with a pleasant smile, buretained a noncommittal air. Even Governor Matthews's declaration that lhdianap-. olis need not fear a veto brought no reonse. Mayor Taggart said, to relieve the tmbarrfls.."nent, that Indiana has laws which prevent ante-election promises. A burst of music from the band interrupted further efforts to interview the candidate at that juncture. At another point, while there was a lull In the cheers of the crowd, Mr. Bryan re-. ponded graciously to inquiries as to bin health by saying that It was good. This man from Nebraska is a keen observer anj peoms to see things in a humorous light. Passing the Palmer and Buckr.tr headquarters in the Cyclorama building, be caught sight of three gilt talis and a sign announcing that the proprietor had money to loan. f "Money to loan on diamonds, watches and jewelry!" exclaimed Mr. Bryan. "That's a good sign to have next the Paimer and Buckner headquarters." Before the procession turned into Ohio street off Pennsylvania there was a good deal of disappointment expressed bv the marching clubs that there weie not "more people on the sidewalks. Along the itreet In front of the When building there was a single row of people, and but little iiterest was shown In the neigl borhcod ei the Denison Hotel, althougn fifteen or twenty ladies, some of them with open glasses glued to their eyes, seemed anxious to see Mr. Bryan end waved their handkerchiefs excitedly. At one window two chambermaids sat looking out. Every other window was closed and not a head anpeared. On Ohio street, past the Marion Club, there were but few people. Turning into Meridian street, however, the managers of the show feit a little more encouraged, as the street was well filled and the steps of the monument were swarming with a shouting crowd, although there was a great deal of open space about the monument. The crowds were thickest along the sidewalks, but there was plenty of room to spare and people found no difficulty In getting along. When the parade turned toward the Statehouse another curious crowd was seen swarming up the steps to th( door of the Capitol. Bryan seems to enjoy being a hero and smiled ami bowed pleasantly to shouts of Hurrah for Billy Bryan." He laughea outright when some one yelled: "Billy Bryan needs a shave:" but he seemed shocked, however, at a cry for Eugene V. Debs. To Inquiries for Mrs. Bryan he replied that she was at home, where he left her after the flrst tour. Going down Capitol avenue from Market street the procession passed the Park Theater. At the broad open doorway on the second floor, where scenery and baggage is hauled up to the actors' dressing rooms a group of Thespians and stage hands were gathered to see the "show." One fellow, with makeup half finished, shouted out In a big voice. "Hurrah for Bryan!" A good deal of amusement was afforded the marchers and th members of the Bryan iarv bv the funny t-ntics of an oid.

bearded Populist who kept pace with the carriage, waving his hat and shouting frantically for his favorite. If Bryan had noticed him he would have expired with dolight. As the carriage reached the . last stage of the march and turned down Illinois street. Mr. Bryan smiled when he saw that a man with a camera was ready to take a snapshot. Mayor Taggart beamed proudly from the front seat in the carriage and came in for a good deal of pleasant applause from his followers. He shared with Mr. Bryan in the triumphs of the hour, and more than once a loud cry. "Hurrah for Tom!" fell upon his ears. Cheers for Taggart were punctuated with cries for Bryan, "the poor man's candidate." AT THE GRAND HOTEL. On the balcony of the Grand Hotel there was a large crowd of ladies and men, leaning down the street, anxiously waiting for the carriage to draw near enough for them to catch a glimpse of Bryan. An immense flag, wjth stars as big as Bryan's hat, hung gracefully from one corner of the balcony, and it fluttered over BVyan's head as he alighted at the big entrance. A large force of police kept an open passageway from the. curbstone up the broad steps and through the lobby to the elevator. while Mr. Bryan, Mayor Taggart, Governor Matthews and Mr. Toraiinson entered. There was a big crowd in the lobby, and the cheers that rang cut were almost loud enough to lift the roof. Here there was another wild scramble of men anxious to touch the hem of Bryan's garment, but the blue coats kept them back. As the elevator door closed behind the party the crowd broke up rapidly and the shouts el led away. For Mr. Bryan's use the Mayor had reserved Suite .', on the parlor floor. When the party entered the hotel the crowd on the balcony crowded into the parlors and hallway, determined to follow Mr. Bryan into his room, but in this they were disappointed, as more police officers were there to head them off. Only a few friends who were there to meet him by invitation were admitted to his room, and the Mayor announced that Mr. Bryan would not see anyone until after the night meeting, as it was necessary for him to put on fresh attire, take a short rest and incidentally have his lunch. It was just fifty minutes after he alighted from the train at the Union station that the door of his room closed behind Mr. Bryan and he was given a chance to catch a few minutes' rest. Mr. Taggart's announcement that Mr. Bryan must positively decline to see or talk to anyone was accepted with skepticism bv some few who hung about the parlor hall, sitting on the comfortable seats or wandering aimlessly over the canvas-covered carpets. All sorts of excuses were made to patrolman Mathey, who stood on guard, by people anxious to catch a word with the distinguished man. but he was firm of purpose and denied them admission. Postmaster Albert Sahm, with a bundle of registered and special-delivery letters, however, was one of the privileged few who were admitted, and it was his privilege to catch a few words after he was presented to Mr. Bryan by the Governor. It was while Mr, Bryan was closeted in his room that he was called "the second Christ." as stated above. A man comfortably dressed, of sane apnearance and wearing a white badge of the Bryan Traveling Men's Club, made the assertion. He said that he had been sent there by his brother, a music teacher, who has been unfortunate all his life. At Chicago, however, the man said, his brother happened to be fortunate enough "to touch the hem of his garment" after he was nominated, and from that moment his luck changed. JUST TO TOUCH HIS GARMENT. "Now," declared the man, "my brother has all the scholars he can teach. He told me to come here, at any cost, and lay my hands on Bryan, as It would give me good luck. He is a second Christ. I tell you. I won't bother him. I know that he is tired and must have rest, but I just want to lay my hand on his shoulder. It won't take over a second," said the man to the obdurate officer, imploring. But he was not to be persuaded. He declared that Mr. Taggart told him not to let anybody in. "Why. Tom Taggart knows me." said the man. bristling. "I have known him for years. I am a traveling man. My name is John S. Stegg. You ask Tom if I ain't all right." But the patrolman refused to stir from his post, and the fanatical worshiper stood about for some time. He left, saying he would "hunt Tom Taggart and see whether he couldn't get to see Bryan." Dr. and Mrs. T. N. Bryan, Mrs. Enos Hege. Mrs. D. C. Bryan, her daughter. Miss Maud, and Mrs. George B. Von Phul and her friend, Mrs. Henry H. Logan, the last two of Greensburg. were waiting at the Grand Hotel to meet Mr. Bryan, by invitation of Governor Matthews. They had a few moments' conversation. Mr. Bryan making inquiries for different members of the family. Dr. Bryan and his family, of this city, are relatives of the candidate. Mrs. Von Phul's brother married the candidate's sister. William Jennings Bryan attended a family reunion at Salem, 111., shortly after his nomination, where he met Joseph Bryan, a brother of Dr. Bryan, of this city. He referred to that incident in his conversation with his relatives and expressed the hope that he might meet them again People kept constantly coming to Mr. Bryan's door and the Mayor found it necessary to announce several times, as he came back and forth from the room, that the candidate could meet nobody until evening. Nevertheless a curious crowd started up every time the eloor was opened and cast hasty glances into the room in an effort to see. David Gooding, one of the unique characters connected with the silver "push," went away satisfied when he was informed that he "could see Bryan after supper." "That will suit me," he said, "all I want to say to him is 'howdy' and 'good-bye.' " The autograph collectors were there. J. T. Darnell, of Greencastle. was one of the first to request Mr. Bryan's signature and after that several other albums were sent into the room, but like the cat, "they never came back." A young man who was persistent in his desire to see Bryan asked the Mas'or if he could not be prevailed on to say a few words to the big crowd which stood in the street looking toward the balcony. Mr. Taggart replied that as he was elresslng it would be impossible. The crowd would not go away from the doer cf Mr. Bryan's room and exhibited a good deal of curiosity as the colored waiters carried a small table into his room and a little afterwarel the trays containing his lunch. It was 2:13 when he sat down to lunch with his secretary, Mr. Davis. Meantime he had shaved himself and put on clean clothes as he received occasional telegrams and lettors and granted brief audiences to men who are connected with the campaign in this State. The committee had arranged to have Mr. Bryan leave the hotel at 2:51 o'clock, so as to get to the Statehouse by 3 o'clock, when the meeting was advertised to be held, but as he was subjected to so many interruptions he decieled that he could not be ready until a quarter past three. W. S. Cantrell, of Illinois, the representative of the national committee, who is traveling with Mr. Bryan to conduct the campaign, was admitted a few minutes before that time, and a little latter Mr. Tomlinson appeared. He spoke of the demonstration at Louisville Monday night, where Mr. Bryan made three speeches, and afterward attended a banquet. Mr. Tomlinson said that Mr. Bryan was up until 1 o'clock and had to get out at 6 o'clock yesterday morning in order to start here. On the way to Indianapolis ho said that the party was not interrupted by the rain, except at one point, where Mr. Bryan spoke from the famous rear platform to a crowd that stood in the rain. Mr. Cantrell and Mr. Tomlinson both expressed much pleasure at the excellent manner in which the elemonst ration here was managed, and they told Myron King, the Governor's secretary, that the arrangements here were better executed than at any other place in which Bryan has appeared. 1 TO THE STATEHOUSE. Alonzo Green Smith, "Bill" Flynn. Maurice Donnely. County Chairman Rochford and others stood expectantly at Mr. Bryan's door as they were there to act as escort to the carriage. Superintendent Colbert was complimented for the excellent manner in which the crowels were handled by the police. The eletail at the hotel acted upon his special direction, and when Mr. Davis appeared at the door and informed Mayor Taggart that Mr. Bryan was ready everything was in waiting to hold the crowds at bay as he went to the street. From the elevator down the corridor a strong eletail kept the crowd. back and they were rady to repel the rush that began when the elevator slopped and the party appeared. Again a shout went up and the men surged forward, seeming bent on lifting the candidate from his feet. But he reacheel the carriage in safety and entered -quickly, followed by the Governor, Mayor Taggart and State Chairman Martin. The scenes along the line of march to the Statehouse were a repetition of those attending his entrance to the hotel and every thing moveel along without special Incident, although there were one or two laugnaoie circumstances. A man in the crowei, following close to the carnage, noticed that Bryan looked brighter and more cheerful after a few moments rest and a good lunch in throe courses. "Whoop-ee." cried the fellow: "Billy Bryan's got &haveel since he come to Jndlanupolls!" Along the road Mr. Bryan bowed gracefully to the cheers that greeted him. The

party entered the Statehouse by the west door and passed through the broad corridors, while a number of employes of the State offices stood looking on curiously. It had been arranged for the party to reach the speaker's stand through a window at the east end of the north cross corridor, but several hundred people, all bent on getting scats on the stand built to accommodate about flftv. were waiting, and it was with great difficulty that the party reached the window. Mr. Bryan entered a side room, where he waited while the corridor was being cleared. When he stepped through the window to the stage he was received with a shout. Several members of the Cleveland Club that had escorted Mr. Bryan to the window were angered when they found that no place for them to hear him had been provided and expressed indignation at being led into "a trap." The Mayor assured them that it was an oversight and promised to see that they got a chance to "hear Bryan" at the courthouse meeting. His promise satisfied the more reasonable men. but some were not to be pacified. A POOR PARADE. The "push" try to explain the far from creditable showing made by the parade by saying that no efforts were made to get up an organized demonstration, but they seem somewhat sore because more people did not get out, march and "holler for Billy Bryan." At the outside not more than 1.C00 men were in line. Fred Adams, at the Builders' Exchange, on Ohio street, took the trouble to count those in the procession, and says that his count showed 663. This included Mr. Bryan and Myron King. The procession was headed by a platoon of police. Behind them came the reception committee'. Myron King and band. Then came the carriage containing Mr. Bryan and his party. All of the carriages were decorated with flags. The first one. containing Mr. Bryan. Governor Matthews, Mr. Tomlinson of Alabama, and Mayor Taggart. was drawn by a team of six handsome black horses, which were one of the most attractive features of the procession. On either side of the Bryan carriage marched the Cleveland Club, in ranks of two. Their banner, denuded of its picture ef the hated Cleveland, waved triumphantly In front. Other organizations in the parade were the Young Men's Gray Club, the Bryan and Sewall Traveling Men's Club, with about 200 in line, not one-tenth of whom were traveling men. decorated with white hats and vari-colored umbrellas, the celebrated Republican Silver Club, with about, thirty ex-Republicans and 100 Democrats In line, the First Ward Silver Club, a dozen or so. the Boone County Silver Club, the Roachdale Silver Club and the Ninth Ward Cooper Club, with eleven men in line. The only "guying" that was dene along the line was when Worth Wright and his faithful few came along. The Republicans could not refrain from poking a few good-natured gibes at them. When stretched out at its full length the parade was not more than three blocks long. When the last man fell into the line of march at the Union Station the brass band and reception committee had only reached Maryland street. By actual timing it was not more than ten minutes in passing the Journal office. AT THE STATEHOISE.

The BiKKest Crowd, of All There What He Said. As soon as Mr. Bryan retired to his room at the Grand Hotel the crowd dispersed, and more than half the people went immediately to the Statehouse yard, where he was billed to speak at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A stand had been erected at the northeast corner, and here the people began to gather and take up their long wait fr his appearance. The ground was soft from the rain of the night before, and it was soon trampled into a sea of mud, with scarcely a vestige of grass left. The people packed themse-lves in around the stand and spread out in fanshape in a solid mass, reaching from within a few feet of the building to the other side of Capitol avenue, from the Market-street entrance to the diagonal walk leading from Ohio street. The crowd was estimated all the way from 10,000 to 25,000. It was a fairly quiet and orderly crowd, considering the discomforts it had to undergo. There wasmuch good-natured chaffing, and while there was some impatience at the nonappearance of Mr. Bryan at the appointed time, yet this impatience took no more serious form than good-humoreel guying of Councilman Clark, who was guarding the stand from intruders. The stand itself was excellent, but the sort of annex put up for the accommodation of the newspaper men was a miserable failure. However, it was occupied by everybody but reporters, so that It did not make much difference. At 3:25 the window of the north corridor, leading to the stand, was raised, and Tim Griffin was seen struggling frantically to get the blind up. The crowd understood that Bryan was about to make his appearance, and a cheer went up. A moment later Governor Mattehws appeared at the window leading Mr. Bryan, and a cheer went up, while a few hats and umbrellas were waved. Mr. Bryan and the Governor were followed by Chairman Martin and others entitled to seats upon the stand. .As soon as quiet was restored the Governor introduced Mr. Bryan with a single sentence, declaring that- he knew the crowd was impatient to see and hear Mr. Bryan, and he would introduce him at once. While he was saying this Mr. Bryan, who had doffed his overcoat and donned his skull cap, stepped forward. Another cheer went up, and more hats were waved. The demonstration did not suit Green Smith, who sprang forward, and 'with four or five vigorous waves of his hat brought from the crowd another cheer. Mr. Bryan waited with perfect calmness and self-possession a minute or two and then put up both his hands with a quick gesture to silence the crowd. He was given attention at once, and the people listened to him attentively throughout. The only point of his speech that aroused much enthusiasm was when he made a slap at the sound-money Democrats. Then there were loud cheers, cries of "Bynum" and invitations to "hit him again." Mr. Bryan said: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and GentlemenIt gives me great pleasure to come to Indianapolis, and when I come I recall my first visit to this city. The first great Democratic leader whom I ever saw was one of the citizens of this State at that time and candidate for the vice presidency, Thomas A. Hendricks (applause) and such was my admiration for his life and character that my first political pilgrimage was made to Indianapolis to attend his funeral. Therefore, I think of him when I come to this city. I think of the principles for which he so heroically contended. I come to-day to defend principles which are Democratic in the broadest sense of that term, because when you come to the fundamental principles of Democracy thev are loved and accepted and applied by all. irrespective of party name, who believe in a government of the people, by the people and for the people. (Great applause.) JABS GOLD DEMOCRATS. .'This city enjoys the unique distinction of being the birthplace and the deathbed of a so-called party. (Applause, cheering and laughter.) My friends, I know that I am not obeying the Bible injunction. 'Let the dead bury their dead, when I speak of this so-called Democratic party. I speak of it as I would not speak of any bona fide organization of men. (Laughter.) But this' party occupies a peculiar place in history. It calls -itself the National Democratic party when it doesn't expect to carry a single county in the whole Nation. It called itself a Democratic party when it was organized for the express purpose of electing a Republican candidate for President. (Continued applause and cheering and cries of 'Give it to them.') If it was big enough to justify the name I would call it a stupendous fraud (gre-ut laughter), but it Is too small to be called stupendous. I will call it a transparent fraud. (Applause and laughter.) "It was the first political convention ever held in this country where the members of the convention nominated a ticket that they did not expect to vote for. and the first place where men have received a nomination and don't want to be voted for. "The minority plank In the Chicago platform opposed free coinage on the ground that It would interfere with international bimetallism, toward which, according to that minority plank, the efforts of this government should be steadily directed, and then when they failed to secure the adoption of that plank they assembled in convention here and fortrot all about International bimetallism. There could be no clearer evidence of intended deception than Is found in the fact that the minority at

Chicago, when they had things all their own way, repudiated the planks they stooel on there and came out hi favor of a gold standard insteaei of international bimetallism. My friends, I am willing to m"et an open enemy in an open field and concede to that enemy all the rights and privileges of open warfare, but when our opponents call themselves advocates of sounel money and want to fasten upon us an unsound financial system, when they call themselves the advocates of honest money and then deal dishonestly with the American people, when they "say that they are members of a party and yet employ speakers and openly say they are going to vote the Republican ticket, that party does not deserve to be treated like an open enemy in this campaign. (Great applause and cheers.) STRIKES AT BYNUM. "My friends, I have no criticism to make of any man who believes that the election of the Chicago ticket would destroy this country, and who, in that belief, votes the Republican ticket, but, my friends, to find a man who wants to elect the Republican ticket and then hasn't the courage to bear the odium of advocating it, is an entirely different matter. (Applause and a voice: 'Give it to Bynum,') If you want to know what that distinguished citizen ( a voice, 'Extinguished.') The gentleman suggests extinguished citizen. (Great applause and laughter), but I will say distinguished because he has a past, whether he has any future or not. (Laughter and applause.) If you want to know what he said about the gold standard, let me read from his speech in favor of silver in 1SS6. " 'Again the advocates of gold approach us with open arms and smiling countenances, but I fear with a elagger concealed beneath their coats.' (Applause.) Ah, my friends, he unelerstood the nature of the animal before he began to associate with it. He is right in his description. The gold standard never fought an open fight. It carries the knife of the assassin and does its work behind the mask pf a burglar. It is not an open enemy, never was and never will be. (Great applause and cheers.) Now, see, see how well he understood them. He said: 'Oh.' they say, 'We want silver; we are bimetallists. but we want an honest

dollar. Suspend coinage anel we will drive England. Germany and other nations to bimetallism, and then the price of silver bullion will appreciate and our dollars will be worth a hundred cents.' That is what he said in ISStS. My friends, instead of saying now that we will adopt bimetallism anel drive other nations to it, he says that we will stand by the gold standard and allow other nations to drive us away from it. (Applause and laughter.) I might also quote to you what Mr. Bynum quoted in that speech from Mr. Ingalls. Now, note the language quoted from Senator Ingalls. " 'No enduring fabric of national prosperity can be builded on gold. Gold is the money of monarchs. Kings covet it; the exchanges of nations are affected by it: its tendency is to accumulate in vast masses in the commercial centers anel to move from kingdom to kingdom in such volumes as to unsettle values and stir up the finances of the world. It is the instrument of gamblers and speculators and the idol of the miser and thief. The object of so much .adoration, it becomes haughty and sensitive and shrinks at the approach of danger anel whenever it is most needeel it always disappears at the slightest alarm: it begins to look for refuge; it flics through the nations at war to the nations at peace. War makes it a fugitive. No people In a great emergency ever founel a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break. It has no friends whom it does not sooner or later betray. Armies and navies are not maintained by gold. In time of panic and calamity, shipwreck and disaster, it becomes the chief agent and minister of ruin. No nation ever fought a great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary, in the crises of greatest peril, it becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field. But when the battle is won and peace has been secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory.' "Those are the words of the distinguished Republican Senator, and those words are true. Gold Is arrogant, tyrannical in time of peace and it deserts anv nation in time of war and never is a friend when a friend is needed. "Show me a man who thinks that this Nation cannot survive unless it draws on British capital; show me a man who thinks that our financial pot icy ought to have for its object the borrowing of monev abroad, and 1 will show you a man who would make the people bow their necks to foreign oppression and observe whatever financial policy our creditors desire to force upon us. (Great applause and cheering.) MEXICO VS. TURKEY. "Our opponents tell us that if we favor free coinage and introduce it here that we will go to the Standard of Mexico. Why don't they tell us that if we maintain the gold standard we will approach the standard of Turkey, which also has a gold standard? (Great applause.) I see, my friends, that the Armenian have been called Anarchists by those in authority in Turkey, and I suppose that means that they are in favor of bimetallism and have raised their voice against the gold standard tn Turkey. (Great applause aiid laughter.) They call us Anarchists over here because we are onposed to allowing foreign nations to send in a financial policy, and then comoel ut to accept it whether we like it of not. (Great applause.) But I was thinking toelay, as I saw the people who lined the streets, as I looked into the faces of those members of the various clubs who escorted us from the elepot to the hotel, and I wondered, my friends, if these were Anarchists how the patriots of this country would look if they could get them In a body once and gaze upon them. : (Tremendous cheering and applause.) And, my friends, if those who assemble here to-day and those who have assembled in similar meetings throughout the country were really enemietof their country, I would like to know how you would save this country from its enemies. (Great applause.) Why the men who insist on doing our legislating in time of peace never fight any battles in time of war. (Applause.) They are the people who call you Anarchists when you insist on having a hand in legislation, but in iime of trouble they woulel ccmc to us and say: "Oh, Anarchists, save our property, because you know we cannot afford to fight.' (Wild app'ause and cheering. Voices: 'Hit Bynum again,' 'Give it to Cockran.') "I think from the expressions which 1 have heard that I can safely leave hirn with you, and I am sure that he will get nothing more than he deserves. (Great applause and cries of 'Give it to Cockran; we'll attenJ to Bynum.') "Having secured two platforms four years ago almost identical, and having secured nominees equally satisfactory, the New York financiers have sat back and said: 'They are both go.:el men; they are both good men.' (Grea applause and laughter.) Either one woulel be perfectly safe.' (Continued applause and laughter.) They tried it, this year. They got the St. Louis platform all right, but somehow they misseel their calculations when they got to Chicago. This year they only got one platform which is all right, according to the Wall-street idea, anel this year they don'i say, 'Both gooel men.' (Laughter.) They simply say: "One is a good man. the other a dangerous man. a dangerous man.' (Great applause and laughter and cries of 'You don't look like it.') "Now, my friends, why do you suppose that those New York financiers do not like our advocates of free coinage? I can understand it. All that we say Is that while they are. as gooel as anybody else they are no better than anybody else, and they do not like to be put on the same level with common humanity. (Great applause.) We say that they have their rights, like anybody else, and rights superior to no one else. They have a right to vote for themselves anel to think for themselves, but they have no right to vote for anyboely else, to think for anybody else, or to act for anybody else. (Great applause.) We saythat they have a right to use their money in a legitimate business way. but we deny their right to use their money to tyrannize over the people of this country, and to intimidate every man who owes them a note. (Applause.) We are in favor of banks existing and doing the business which legitimate banks ought to do. but we are opposed to a government ny banks, and we are opposed to being compelled to ask permission of the banks to pass any law that the people want in this country. (Great applause.) "But. my friends, I have spoken eight times to-elay. and I have three more s;peeehes yet to make before my day's work is done. (Applause and cries of 'Well, make them all here.') Therefore. I ask you to excuse me from any further talking now and I will try to see you hereafter." (Great arplause anel cheering.) After the abrupt close of Mr. Bryan's address the crowd dispersed with remarkable rapidity, going almost In a body over to the courthouse to listen to his second speech. Among the crowd there were very few comments upon the address. Certain it was that he hael not overreached the expectations of anyboely. HIS SECOD SPEECH. Chilly Ilecepttoii AVhea He Appeared on TomlitiMon Hall Balcony. The crowel began gathering at the north side of the courthouse before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but it did not get together very rapidly. At 3:30 there were not more than .SCO people standing in the cold breeze waiting for the appearance cf

the Boy Orator. They stooel as near the speaker's stand as they could get. fearing that the rush Jater on might take them too far away to hear anything. By 4 o'clock a crowd of probably l.(K) had gathered there, and then Mayor Taggart mounted the speaker's platform and announced that a change had been made, and that the afternoon speaking would be from the balcony in front of Tomlinson Hall. The words were scarcely out of his mouth when those in the rear of the crowd made a break across the lawn of the courthouse to get good positions in front of the hall. The others followed on a run. like sheep following a leader. All those who had been waiting were soon gathered in front of Tomlinson Hall, but they were so few compared to what people expected that those who arrived later and die! not know of the change in the programme simply took their positions near the stand in the courthouse yard, not considering the crowd in front of the hall of sufficient importance to indicate that there had been a change in the programme. By the time the speaker arrived there was about half as large a crowd gathered in the rear of the e-ourthouso as filled the street in front of Tomlinson Hall. To add to the uncertainty of matters anel make those in waiting woneler "where they were at." the Cleveland Club, headed by a band, came marching to the courthouse. The club marched right through the crowd to the rear of the courthouse, and forced women and children to get out of the way so the members could get good positions near the stand. They got the good positions, but about tn minutes after their arrival a shout was heard in front of Tomlinson Hall, and Mr. Bryan was introduced bv Mayor Taggart. The Cleveland Club then saw its mistake, and made a grand effort to get within hearing "distance of the speaker, but in this they failed. When Mr. Bryan appeared on the balcony there was a cheer, of course, but it was not what was expected by the leaders of Democracy. While there was a crowd cf over 4.000 people packed in the streets and on the lawn of the courthouse, the che-er that went up was weak enough to have been made by less than 500 voices. It was not prolonged as the cheers that greeted Blaine when he visited this city in 1884. The cheer that greeted him did not die out for fully five minutes, ami then it was ready to break forth again on his slightest move, but the cheer that greeted Mr. Brvan was forgotten in less than a

minute after it began. One Democrat remarked that he had heard cheers a great deal louder and more vigorous and prolonged when McCarthy sent the ball to center for three bases. While Mr. Bryan has a strong and remarkably clear voice it could not be heard yesterday by much more than half of those assembled. This was partly on account of the wind, which was unfavorable. Only enough could be heard at the courthouse to show that he was really saying something and not going through a pantomime performance. In the sheriff's office a surveyor's telescope was placed In position, and those in the building were given a near view of Mr. Bryan. Every feature and movement could be plainly seen, but not a word could be heard. Those present were startled to look upon the features of the man. The common expression was that he had missed , his calling, and that he would have been perfect in the character of the villain in a trageeiy. Others compared his face to Lewis Morrison, the ivnor, who has made such a hit as Mephistopheles in "Faust." Mr. Bryan entered Tomlinson Hall by the Del.-ware-street entrance, and stepped out onto the balcony before any one in front knew of his presence. He was behind others, and could not be seen. Finally Mayor Taggart stepped forward and introduced the speaker. All the' time Mr. Bryan talked Charles M. Cooper, the opera bouffe candidate, and ex-Cadi Buskirk. sat one at each elbow. The ex-Cadl didn't spit tobacco on Mr. Bryan's shirt front. The crowd that heard the orator was composed largely of Republicans and sound-money Democrats, who were desirous of seeing the man who has made over 200 speeches during the campaign, and has traveled over 8.000 miles to do so. The cheering was very faint. Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: , "Fellow-citizens We have progressed far enough In the campaign to begin to have the lines drawn and the plan of battle understood. . When we first started out our opponents thought that ridicule would be a sufficient weapon with which to meet the argument presented in -support of the Chicago platform. They did not go very far until they found out that it was not a good year for ridicule because the people were too much in earnest to be laugheel at when they were striving to secure relief. (Applause.) Then they began to abuse us and no name that carried with It any opprobrium was too severe to be used against those who were advocating the Chicago platform. But after a while they found that to attempt to. abuse so many American citizens, to attempt to abuse so many well-meaning people was not advancing their cause and they have been somewhat at a loss for a reason, for a plan of battle during the past few days. But I found when I came in the State of Indiana that they had discovered a new method of warfare. I found that in the State of Indiana the Republicans were circulating an editorial which appeared in the Omaha WorldHerald about four years ago. It was an editorial which criticised pension and pension appropriations." air. Bryan then denied, as he has done before, that the article was written by him. Continuing he said: "There is no reason why a.ny soldier who believes in the principles set forth in "the Chicago platform should vote against the nominees of the Chicago convention. If there are soldiers who are opposed to the principles set forth in the Chicago platform they will be found upholding the ticket just as anybody else will oppose the ticket who is opposed to the policies supported by the nominees. But there is no reason why any soldier who believes in the right of this Nation to have a financial policy of its own should oppose any man on the Chicago platform. My friends, when I hear these financiers appealing to the soldiers and telling them that the free coinage of silver would hurt the soldier, I cannot but wonder when the financiers became so much interested in the welfare of the soldier. (Applause, and a voice: 'It s a Republican scheme all the time!') SOLDIERS AND PENSIONS. "The soldiers who went through the war will distinctly remember that when they were out fighting in the field the financiers were making laws, and they will remember that the financiers so maele the laws that the man who furnished money was paid back in gold, while the man who risked his life was paid in greenbacks. (Applause and a voice: 'Worth 40 cents on the dollar!') "The gentleman suggests that they were worth 40 cents on the dollar. He Is right. The very men who are now so much afraid that the soldier will receive his pension in 50-cent dollars were not afraiel to pay him for his services in 40-cent dollars measured by gold. (Applause.) My friends, there is another reason why it seems to me insolent for these men to appeal to the scldier. Why, they tell the soiiiier who is drawing twelve or eighteen or twenty-four dollars a month that he ought to oppose free coinage because it will be a personal injury to him. and yet the people who tell the soldier that he ought to use his ballot to protect his personal Interests, tell the soldier that they are in favor of the golel standard not for any personal reason, but because they love their country and do not want anybody to be hurt. (Laughter and applause.) "The gold standard means financial bondage. It means the enslavement of the American people, and yet the golel, bugs would ask the soldier, for the ditierence in his pension, to vote to enslave seventy millions of people. (Applause.) My friends, if the soldier looks at the money question merely from the standpoint of his own interest he must remember that his pension is only property anel that, if he legislates the value of the elollar up. while he raises the purchasing power of his pension, he will decrease the value of whatever other property he has; and if he finds that he can benefit himself by raising the purchasing power of his pension, he must remember that he is condemning his children and his children's children to the injustice of a gold standard. "My friends, I elo not say one word against the- financier. He is a good man in his place. The difficulty is to keep him from getting out of his place. (Applause.) The banker is a good man when he comes to his own business, but he is so anxious to attend to other people's business that be does not spend time enough upon his own. (Laughter.) My observation is that a banker is a good man to look after your interests when your interests and his are identical: but when your interests anel his are different, he is a good man to look after his own business, and wiil leave you to take your chances. (Applause and laughter.) Let me ask you this: You say the financier is a good man to look after all financial legislation. Ixok through the records of legislation and find out where the bankers of any State ever petitioned the Legislature to reduce the rate of interest. (Applause.) Whenever the rate of interest has been reduceel 'it has been reduced by the people themselves not with the aid of your financiers and money loaners, but over their opposition. When you have passed laws making the depositor more secure you have not passed them with the aid and by the persuasion of these financiers. You have passed them yourselves, to protect yourselves from the financiers and the bankers. And, my friends, in my humble judgment, we need a great many more severer laws before the people are fully protected In their deposits at the banks. (Applause.) I only state all this to show you that the financier cannot be trusted to Initiate and secure the legislation which you nox-d. You have got

to think it out yourselves: you have got to advocate it yourselves: you have got 10 vote for it yourselves. A voice: 'We are going to!') LOMBARD STREET CHESTNUT. "Now, my friends, on this money epuestion, why can t your bankers here Join in with the people c-r this State? Why Is it that all over the West and South you find bankers who array themselves against the interests of th? people among whom they live? T will tell you why I think it Is. It is because so many of them receive their instructions from their New York corresponelents. and instead of thinking for themselves they act when the button is pressed in New York. (Applause.) And the financiers in New York receive their instructions from the financiers in London, and when a business man in this city is caliod into the bank and told how he must vote on a money proposition, let that business man remember that it is not his banker talking to him. but that it is a London banker talking to him through these several other bankers down the line. (Applause.) "My friends, the reforms of society have never come elown from those who did not feel the need of reform. They have come up from the people who have suf?ered from vicious legislation, and having suffereel, achieve their own salvation. Vicious legislation is never remetlied by those who enjoy its benefits. It is always remedied by those who suffer from it. We are not appealing to trusts to stop the existence of trusts, we are not appealing o syndicates to shut off the fee that syndicates have been receiving from the public treasury, but we are calling upon the great mass of the people, the unpurchased and the unpurchasable voters of the United States, to rise in the strength of their mannood, and to restore to this Nation a government which, instead of doling out its privileges at so much to those who will contribute large campaign funds, shall treat every man as the equal of every other man and guarantee to each one the right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness." (Applause.) I COSTS TO HEAR HIM.

Bryan- Chareel Columbus $150 for MaklnK a Stop. Bryan's tour seems to be a money-making scheme, at least in one sense of the word. A prominent business man from Columbus, who was here yesterday, said that Bryan refused to speak at Columbus unless some body would guarantee to raise 110 for tho "campaign fund." This is construed to be an attempt of the candidate to levy tribute with which to pay "expenses." Alter it was announced a few days ago that Bryan would cross this State and make short stops at various points, another announcement went out that he would not stop at any of the towns elown on the schedule unless $150 was raised in each Instance. The Democratic committee at Noblesvllle went about over town taking up collections, ranging from 25 cents to $1. Many Republicans contributed to the fund, eleclaring that they were glad to give "two bits" to see the "show." A well-known physician in this town was complaining yesterday because he had lost his badge as a member of the reception committee. He said that it cost him $1. He did not care for the money, he said, but wanted to preserve the badge as a memento of the occasion. It was whispered last night that the committee also sold tickets to the stage at Tomlinson Hall for the night meeting. The report could not be verified, but it seems plausible, inasmuch as badges were sold. No one knows what other schemes to raise funds the desperate Popocratlc committee is resorting to. Some of them are finding fault with Bryan for open boasts he is making to the effect tha,t he is glad the money power is not with him. A little of the money of that same power would be highly acceptable at this time. A Crowel of Curious People. Yesterday afternoon a resident of this city stood on the courthouse lawn and listened attentively to all that Bryan said. When Mr. Bryan was concluding his remarks, the citizen turned to a friend and said: "I have heard every word he said, but have hearel no argument. He simply makes assertions, and assertions that cannot, be proved by argument based on facts." "Look here, you are a pretty big man," said a bystander, "but you are in the wrong crowd to talk for McKinley." "No you are not," came from a dozen or more throats at once, "McKinley is all right, and we are with you." This showed that even among those who heard him. the Bryan sympathizers were in the minority. A Straw from Springfield. One of the visitors in the city yesterday from Springfield, 111., gave some figures from a ballot, which was taken in Springfield at a fair last week. On Wednesday the vote was 1,030. divided as follows: Gold 706. silver 324. On Thursday the vote was, gold 1,212, silver 614; on Friday, gold 1,472, silver 650. Arion Concert Glee Cluh.

TRIP TO CANTON FRIDAY

SEVERAL SPECIAL TRAINS WILL LEAVE THIS CITY THAT MliHT. Indiana AVIieelnien Will Lend Bicycle l'araile nt the Iteiulllcjt i Mceeu Crowd from Other Point. About 350 members of the McKinley ah;I Hobart Bicycle Club met last night for drill purposes-. The reports showed that the club now has over eight hundred rnemlers anil more are coming in every day. There was a desire on the part of many of them to see a man who is a canelidato Ufor President and this took many of the members from the meeting last night. Almost all of those present said they were going to Canton with the club Friday night. The trip to Canton'grows to larger proportions each day. Yesterelay the members began buying their tickets for the trip in accordance with the tlesire of those having the trip in charge. This Is done so the railroad company can know just how many people to provide accommodations for, and if all who are going will taka advantage of the request to purchase tickets early, there will be no crowding In the cars. The Big Four has promised to vsee that there are enough cars to accommodate all with seats if those going will simply let the company know it by purchasing tickets in advance. Fifty tickets were sold yes'erday, which Is quite a large number for the first day, considering the fact that riders were simply requested to buy tickets before Thursday night. The first train will leave here Fcijhty night promptly at 10 o'clock and will carry the staff officers and as many members as can find room in it. Other trains will leave immediately after, running about, ten minutes apart. The first train will be composed of two sleepers, a chair car, two baggage cars for wheels and refreshments and two or three day coaches. The other trains will be made up according to the wants' of those who buy tickets. A sufficient number of sleepers and chair cars will be provided for all who engage space in them before Thursday night, but after that time there Is no certainty of being able to get a berth or a chair. The preparations for the parade in Canton Saturday morninsr are going on. Brigadier General George N. Cat terson and start will lead it. They will he followed by a man dressed as Uncle Sam and e-arryiiii? a banner bearing the words: "Indiana wheelmen are for sound money, protection, prosperity and good roads. So is McKinley.' On each side of the banner bearer will be a e-olored boy dressed in yellow to represent the only true sounel money, carrying large silk flags. On the hacks of thee boys will be the word "Gold." The First Regiment officers will follow these colorbearers and then will come the companies of the First Regiment in order. The Second Regiment will follow, headed by the regimental officers. This will make "a biir parade In itself, but that will not be ail, for in the rear of this will come the organized McKinley clubs of the State, anel then the unorganized wheelmen who attend. All will be on wheels. A parade arranged in the same manner will be glvei here Friday night before the club starts for Canton, except, being at night. It will be headed by the Flambeau Club, with, fireworks. The prospects for the trip are better now than was anticipated. Not only will them be a big crowd from here, but letters from all parts of the State show that other cities and towns will turn out big crowds. Contrary to expectations tho Terre Haute Club will probably not pass through here, but It will meet the Indianapolis men In Canton Saturday morning. News from Terra Haute yesterday was to the effect that five hundred would go from that city, but that they would go by a route that will not bring them through this city. Letters from other towns bring the news that more are going than was at first estimated. Manv of the wheelmen from these other towns will come here to start and will get theiv In time to join the parade Friday. All those who come in are requested to report at beaelquarters, Nos. IS and 20 Norlli Meridian street, as soon after 7 o'clock In the evening as possible to be assigned te a place in the parade, which is to form at 7:30. Arrangements have been made to serve lunches to all on the trip from one of the baggage cars. The contract with thos who will have the privilege stipulates that the prices are to be the same as in the ordinary restaurants in this city, with the prices of many articles such as sandwiches, coffee and pie named at 5 cents. There will be an ample supply and no overcharging. . The Traveler' .irrnnKeiiiroU. The Republican Commercial Travelers Club, which will go to Canton on trains following the wheelmen's trains, is also receiving encouraging letters from members who are out in the State this week on their regular trips. These letters Indicate that the other cities and towns of the State will send a large number of pilgrims to swell the crowd. . It is expected that more than eight hundred will go from this city and that more than that number will go frcru other points in the State, most of whom will either come here to start, or will join the train before It gets out of the State. This club will also form and have a parade Saturday morning at Canton, but on account of the members not being mounted, it will be entirely separate from the parade of the wheelmen. The Baldheaded Glee Club has been engaged to furnish music for the occasion. A III Rally nt Southport. Representative Overstreet was at Southport last night, where he addressed the largest crowd ever assembled in that place at a political meeting. The meeting was held in the public hall, which has a seating capacity of about five hundred. At leat. this many , more people croweled into the place and as many more were turned away. Mr. Overstre'et conflneel his remarks almost exclusively to the money (fuestlon. He was enthusiastically applauded from time b time and throughout held his audience wltti rapt attention. William O'Conner, said to be formerly a Catholic, but now a Protestant, who registered at a hotel from Indianapolis, was sent to the Insane asylum at Springfield. O., vesterday. He claimed that he was Jesus Christ. Do You Intend to Buy a Stove This Fall? If so. it will pay you to look at the JEWELS." They are "right." LILLY & STALMKER, 64 East Wash.
