OVER 11,000 PEOPLE HEAR HIM. fie U Enthusiastically Welcomed t? St. Louis, Where lie Makes t Speech to the Commercial Travelers, ^ ? - St. Louis, Mo., 8 pec la4!,'?Hon. W, J. liryan spoko hero Saturday at the Coll? eeum Hall, under tho au-pLc.es of the Rational Democratic Club of Com mercial Travelers. Tho hull Is mid to ?eat 14,000 people. Not only was every neat occupied, but every available foot of staifdlng room won also covered. Mr. wjun was late In arriving at the hall, having been detained by hi* attend ^ ance upon a mooting of tho Knightg gT/Viad Indies of Honor at 'voncordli ?, whero he also inadj a brief ad titjf, Dr.yan had wrrlred in tho ' ?lty about oWoctC^in^S h?>re from : Ea.st St. Louis, tie was escorted across tho Mississippi b/tA- committee of tho commercial travelor who met him lit tie Illinois city. They brought him into this city in a carriage drawn by fovr cream white horses, and followed by 20 other carriages, all drawn by white horses, and accompanied by a mounted guard and a largo squad of t>oHce. Tho meeting at the Coliseum was prdfcldcd over by J. \V. Jump, chair man of iho Commercial Travelers' Club, and the time previous 4o Mr. Bryan's arrival was filled by other speakers. The first of these was Hon. John A. Lee, Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Covernor of this State, and himself a "commercial traveler, and by Hon. Webster Davis. Mr. Davis took occasion to reply to the recent charge that he had received money from v President Kruger for taking a position In favor of the Democratic ticket in the present campaign. He said that ho had gone to South Afriea <9 visit a personal friend of his, who was consul there. Ho then said: "I have born accused of an infamous crime by men I do not know and who, I have no doubt, are Retting big pay for what they are doing. I challenge them to produce a singlo latter that 1 havo ever written or to bring forward any other legitimate proof to substantiate their charge.'* Mr. Davis said that since he had tak en his position his crlpplcd brother, who had held the place of assistant postmaster at Kansas City, had been deprived of his office. Mr. Bryan received a great ovation when he appeared on the sta?e. He read his speech from manuscript and. Ihe entire document was well received. Beginning his speech, lie ssid: "The j lamco-t of DavifV over Absalom is one of the most pathetic passages of the Old Testament. The fdet that the son was In rebellion against civil as wc'l as parentlal authority did not shake the father's affection, and the anxious query, 'Is the young man, Absalom, safe?' lingers in the memory of all who study the life of the great Hebrew King. And, yet, the Interest which David felt in his pon. Absalom, has lt3 parallel In the more than 10,000,000 families which make lip tho American people. "No language can dopcribe ft moth er's love, or overstate the nbidin? in terest which tlio father feels in th) welfare of hlvi child. From the time when the mother'* life hang* in the balance at tho hoy's birth nnfll the death dl tho parents there is scarcely a waking hour when the son is not prosit In fhelr though s nnd plan.'. It - to Utislvarental devotion, so unlvor reoognlsed, that I desire to ap "Occasion. 4 ixld call the attention of every " father and mother to preaent political aiid Industrial conditions. I would ask them to analyze these conditions, v, investigate their c?usf* and their ten dencies. I would pre-s upon thenj this question: 'la the young man. Absalom, jafe?' Are you satisfied with the p?k alblflties and the probabilities which ?a now open before your son? a- "Is ho safe when foreign or domestic yw financiers ere allowed to determine tli? monetary system under which he iNiVes?
