Ho realized its magnitudo whon many others did not. Thofto words caibo from him as wards of command. "To your touts, (), Is rael.1 And tho command v as hooded by the Domooratio party, and they on gaged first in a warfare within tho party to rescuo that party and tho party namo from tho hands of those who wore using it to advanco tho interest not ot Democracy, but of plutocracy. (Applauso.) It was a groat contest. I venture tho a&sortion that never before in tho history of this country did any party havo anoh a contest within its ranks as that which ondod at Chicago. I vonturo tho assertion that never bo foro in tho history of this country havo tho voters themselves had so much to do with a conten tion as did tho voters of the Domooratio party with tho conven tion at Chicago. This question was submitted to tho voters. Tho Domo ocratio idoa has boon that tho party is but tho instrument of (hoso who com pose it, and derives its power from tho will of the totors who number thom selves membors of that party. Yet it is ofteu tho case that Iho party machin ery or bosses havo moro to do with shnpiug tho polioy and making ti e nomination than tho Voters themselves. I am proud to bo tho nominee of a convontion which represented no machine, no bosses, but tho unpur chased snfTrogo of the voters of this country (Groat Applause.) A few months ago tho most sanguino Demo crat did not boliovo that success this fall was moro than possible. The most sanguino Democrat felt that four years of gold standard administration had destroyed almost tho possibility of suc cess. But the voters of the Democratic party dotormined to mako 0110 final fight and dotormined that if die tho party must, it should at least maintain tho hohor of thoso who belioved in tho right of tho pooplo to govern them selves. (Applauso.) Tho result is just what it always is if people lay aside oxpondiojjcy and sCok to do their duty and accept consequoueos. In trying to right tho Deiuooratio party won a possibility of success which it never could havo hoped for if it had consult ed oxpedionoo. (Applauso.) * * z I, for one, said, whenever our opp<? ( nonts Would bring a pledge that tho gold standard Democrats would take, it would bo time ouough to ask free silvor Democrats to mako pledges. I stated in answer to an inquiry that I would net support for President a man who womd in the Presidential chair continuo the present financial policy and mortgago iho United States to English bondholders. (Applause.) "I said it beoauso I meant it. I may bo wrong in my judgment, because none of us oxff'ip fallible, but my judg ment is onl^'judgmont fhat can eontrplnaV conduct. (Applause.) Now whorf" iho Secretary of tho Treasury do nounccd mens a'Populist and said I said I wouldn't support tho nominee. 1 replied that I'dfd not expect him to support' tho nominee if ho were a free silver man. The timo came when he was put to the test, and tho only dif feronco between him and mo was that T ,w>\s candid enough to tell tho people I would follow my conscience, and he triod to control a convention and then bolted whon ho failed to do it. (Great applauso.) I havo sont him no letter bogging his support. (Groat laughter.) Tho highest compliment ho can pay is to oppjso me, because then the world will know tho Secretary of tho Treas lifor whom I appoint, if I am elected, will bo as different from him as 1 can find. (Groat applause.) "1 do not dispute thd* light of any Democrat to voto against tho Chicago ticket, if ho thinks its success will im peril tho country, but what I ask is that these men who have been pretend ing to bo Domocrats shall now, whon tho Domooratio party hun been rescued from tho people's spoilers, leave the namo and net attempt to tuko that namo with them into disgrace. (Cries of "right/') They call themselves truo Democrats. No true Dornoorat ever nominated one ticket for the pur poso of voting for another. (Great applause.)" The speaker continued in a sarcastic vein to poko fun at tho Indianapolis crowd, calling th-3m "assistant Repub licans." Ho made his previous argu ment that tho Ropublicarf party wan l^jally in favor of silver and bimetal lism bocauso it had declared for inter national bi-ractallism. "Then you will hoar thiil under free coinage we would bo flooded with tdl?'| ver nutil money would ho ho cheap wo would not have any u?o for it, and when you havo boon frightened am bud* ly ft 8 you cau be' that way, they will tell you this cheap money will run tho dear money out and it will tnko fifteen years, with our mints running at full capacity, to make money enough to tnko tho place ot gold.nnd that will jnKfcre money to scarce that a silver, dol lar will be harder to got than a gold Hollar.

Tho pro grara wub not carried out as sohedulod by the committee, owing to Mr. Bryan's request thrit there should not bo any demonstration on hia arrival. In spite of bin request thousands Jlooked to tho station to see the next Presidont, but tho Pullman palace sleeper was side - tracked on tho outskirts of tho city, whero it reinaiued over night. Early Thursday morning an engiuo brought tho car into the station and the inevi table crowd was there. As Mr. Bryan appeared under personal escort of CqJ. 11. C. J ones, a shout arose that Wfcs heard tip town. Ho and his patty wero escorted to tho Buford Hotel, n hero an elaborate breakfast was served. At K :i0 the escort ?;f honor, tho Uni form Bank Knights of Pythias, and the Second Begiment baud had been drawn np in lino in front of tho hotel, while tho carriages waited at tho Fourth street entrance. A mighty choor from that side of tho building announced tho coming of Mr. Bryan. Tho band struck up a lively air, tho corps of mounted marshals cleared tho way an^, the march to the park was begun. In tho handsomely decorated carriage, drawn by four black horses,- wcro seat ed Mr. Bryan and Gov. Elias Carr, Mayor J. II. Woddington and Col. Julian S. Carr. On arriving at tho postoflloo cornor, Mr. Bryan and escort alighted from tho carriago and in sin gle file mado thoir way slowly through the narrow lane that had been opened to tho speaker's stand. Promptly at 9 o'clock Wm. J. Bryan stepped upon Jhe platform, escorted by Maj. Bobertson and ollicers of the Uniform Bank Knights of Pythias.

(Oheefa). _ X~J?iU.,nat keop you waiting, as this ifi Bryan's day, and not my day." He look his seat and Mr, Bryan roso amid pro longed cheering. Mr Bryan stood and quietly sur veyed the erowd, and initantlythey . quieted down. As soop waa quiet he began by saying: Mr, Chairman and Fallow- Citi ten*: t think I can make myself heard aaUuw ?4wMrt*?f ^Osaneial poHeywbfcfafa indspagdatt of any foreign powar. I stand on a plat f or ? which ta a aeeo**! Declaration 'of Independence, and ' : fool that heroin this county it "ill *>** ' rocogniaed because of your having ; made a Declaration of your own. I may tlnd in other ji'acea those who i want to accept a financial policy made by foreign powers; hut the people of ? Mecklenburg county helieve t tint the i United States enh make a financial pel* 1 icy of its own. (Cheers.) l'ointing to the hornets' nest, which wtui suspended ! near him, ho aaid: ? ''Here the enemy ! will find a veritable hornets' nest. 1 am not speaking against any for- | eigner. t would despise any English man, Ocrman, or any other foreigner, j who would submit to the t'nited Stntea dictating a policy governing them in their domestic relations. The l\ej ublicatt platform sets forth a policy never openly set forth before. They do not advocate the gold stand aril, but have plodgcd thoniftolvea for a double standard *as soon as the for eign powers will help them. If they camo out boldly for a single standard wo could meet them but they do not ! do so. The gold standard advocates never made an open fight in their lives, but I do their work after tiighi. (Olioors, ) I There ia & great deal of talk about j the two yard sticks, 1 do not mean that it is mentioned in the Republican platform but it in being used in the campaign, A yard stick measures length and cannot change, but a dol lar measures value and may change. You ail know thai a piece of iron i? shorter when it is at zero than when il is rod hot. So, if von had a yard stick that would be twice km long when it was red hot as it was when at zero, you would go to the stole ami want the merchant to measure your goode with your rod hot yard stick, but lie would step to his refrigerator and take out his zoro yard-stick ami measure your goods. So, as it is necessary to have a yard-stick of uniform length, it is nocessary to have the dollar uni form. At thin point thoro wero calls from tho crowd on the south fido of tho stand unci Mr. Brynn stepped to tho' railing and repeated in a measure what ho had j i> Ht vaid, aud lidded I li i h : Von | on n mako >a dollar purchase a great i dt'iil muro by mailing them scarce and on'thc other hand' make 1 ho purchasing power Iobh hy making thorn plentiful. It cannot ho disputed that tho money must keep pHCo with the population and industries. Mr. Bryan produced sonio typewrit ten manuscript and read Home extracts; fi\.ni a speech of Senator Sherman, niado on Juno 5, I MOO, in which ho ad vocated increasing tho circulation a? tho population increased, hut now he had forsaken that policy aud was tho leader of tho Republican party and that portion of tho Democratic party who want to elect a Republican presi dent. (Cheers.) "?Senator Sherman favored increas ing circulation at tho rato of 8M, 000,000 per annum and according to his policy we flhould not have 8250, 000,000 moro money in circulation than wo havo now. The circulation tho 30th ol' .June, 18U-1, was 31,G(>0, ? 000,000 and has decreased*- each year, since until we now havo $1,500,000,000. notwithstanding Sherman said it should increase. ' I nm not surprisod to find Repul 1 cans on this platform with mo today who havo changod aud are going to vototho Democratio tiokot. Thoy want an inoronsod circulation. "In North Carolina the Republicans havo made more capital by denouncing this administration hoforo this lost platform was niado than out of any thing else, but now thoy aro standing sponsors for tho samo administration. llenry Glrfy is tho only candidato for the I'residenoy who ever came to your State aud spoko prior to my visit.

You must stop falling prices to mako good times. 1 must close as thoro may l:o need of speeches in other places. Ho here paid the lato Senator Vanco a glowing tribute which was greeted by prolonged cheers. He spoke of tho last spccch Vanco made in which he favored free coinago and said: I know tho people will bo truo to his memory. Wo appeal to tho masse? to support tho ticket in^l ) wo know they will do it. - He closed with a few words as tho time was up, and although tho peoplo cried for more, ho was quickly escort;' ed from tho stand to catch tho train. 2/5,000 Ht (?reen?boro.
