An Interesting Descu-Iption of the Great Ovatlou (iiven to tlho NetC President. Special to fhe G.reenville M oulntaineer. Asmitviri., N. C., Sept. 17th. It is worth going much farther than to Asheville to hear William Jennings Bryan speak, and the dozon or moro Greenvillians who heard him here yes terday felt more than repaid for their trip. It was a glorious occasion. All day Tuesqay, Tuesday night and Wed nesday morning peoplo poured into Ashovitlo from far and near. Wed nesday morning, a loud clatter of hoofs was heard coming up the strects. K'verybody rushed out of doors to see what it meant. I t was two or three hundred sturdy mountaineers riding Into town on mules and horses, and they made a grand spectacle as they galloped along waiving their hats and shouting for Bryan as only a mountain eer can shout. They were of all ages and sizes, but all were for Bryan and free silver. Mr. Bryan on his arrival was d'riven to the Battery Park, where he par took of an elegant dinner in company with a fow invited guests. Host E. P. McKiosick presided over the table, and Mr. Bryan, of course, occupied the scat of honor on his right. Judge J. S. Cothran represented South Caro lina. The speaking was scheduled to be gin at, 3.30 p. i., but it was after four o'clock when the Bryan party reached the stand. The stand was erected near the depot in a place seemingly designed by nature for suCh an occa casion. Directly in front of the sapeak er's stand and several feet lower was a large plhtform, admission to which was by ticket. Beyond this rises a curved hill, formipg a grand natural amphitheatre. On the hillsides were were thousands and thousands of peo ple, all of whom seemed to hcar Mr Bryan's words as well as those on 9he platform nearer him. Lut this was not IJI. I3chind the stand and on the si(les people were huddled tog-thor for several hundred yards. The number of those present was variously esti mated. I think there could not have been los.; than 25.000, and believe this is a eonsrrvative estimate. Men who are good judges of crowds placo the nuumber evcn above this figure. Cyrus Watson, tile Democratic nominec for Gavernor of North Carolina, told ne there woro at least 25,000 there, and he knows what he is talking about. The principal thing that struck a South Carolinian was the contrast between this meeting and a campaign meeting in the Palmetto State. There was not the slightest disorder. EMvory one seemed intent upon catching overy word that the speaker uttered, and if there were any goldbugs present they did not make themselves prominent. Mr. Bryan was introduced by Mr. Locke Craig, a young lawyer, of Ashe ville, whose spoech was eloquent, but just of the right length. W hen Bryan stepped forward, the crowd rose to a man and yelled until Mr. Bryan had to wave his hands to them to be seat ed. ["rom the start he had the crowd under control and by a mere gesture stopped any unnecessary licering. ilis principal argurnents were maet with re sponsivo cheers before he sometimes reached his climax. .n beginning, he paid a tribute to the late Senator Vance, and his eulogistic reference to to this groat North Carolina statesman set the e.~owd wild again. 11is denuin eiation of John 0. Carlisle was enthu siastically received by the crowd, as was alIso his sarcastic reference to the "Assistant Repu)Iblicansi." It was a Bryan crowd through and through. Some were disappointed in his speech. 1 was not, and yet it was not w hat, I thought it would be. llaving heard so much of his eloquence, I had expected at succession of well-framed and pre'tti ly worded paragraphs with - ouit much real argumwent. Brmyan is not as5 eloquent ats lhe is logical. Hie fol lowed up one argument after another with just the right thought. llis ges tures are not s0 carefully stu~diedl as to detract attention from the argumnent, but you don't notice his gestures or' how he says anything. What he says keepS you fascinated. His arguments were plain enough to be understood by the most ignorant, yet notpjo plainl t to weary a trained listener. So mruch for the speaker. Tb'c man, Bryan, is a wondler, too. 11 is magnificently proportioned. It h dloubtfulh whether his pictu res (1o hill justice or whether they flatter himi Tihey probably improve the looks of th< features, but do not near give IL trt( idea of his expression. Ils mou0th is 0 aI leculiar. shaptie, but is not ugly. Lik< all the features of h Is face it Is voer large. Hie opens it very wide whuen hi speaks. But his eyes are what cateh one's attentIon. They show determi nation anid power and ability to contr'o -others. Hils voice must have been atl tuost Maporhuman before lhe comme ed his series of speeches, th ione hern being number 130o. When' he began his voice was hoarse and husky, buti Improved as he proceeded -and though evidently In a very bad conditioni still wonderfully strong and far-reach lng. Mr. Bryan looks very tired ani evidlently cannot stand this strait mtuchb longer. H~e had to refuse t shake hands, as his right hand is sor and badly swollen from continua shaking. When he closed his speech, the im mense erowd jumped up and shouted and then made a rush for the stand Mr. Bryan made his way to the dop wIth difliculty, though he had only i[yv miniutes In whichl to catch his trair 1-is specech lasted one ho-ur andi who be closeItd the peCopIo .shouted for hir to go on. It was a great day for the Nort C2arolina Do)moerats, but they wer nol. aLlo ln their demnonstrationi honor of their leader.

Tho People are Going to tie Polls anti Unleratiand the Value ol' ile Ballot. " You gentlemen who livo in this city, surrounded by an agricultural country, know that thero is no wiy of bringing prosperity to Kansas City until you first bring prosperity to the toilers upon whose success Kansas City rests. " It dops not require financiers, it does not require a railroad attorney to tell you woore your prosperity lies. (Great applause.) Nor can these men )r event you from exercising the right of sovereignty as you please. (Ap plause and voice: "They are trying to do It.") "1 My friends, I met a railroad man yesterday, who told mle that while be did not agree with me on the silver question, an issue had been raised greater than the silver question, and that was whether lie lived in a Repub lie, where a man had the right to vote as he pleased, or whether his vote was the property of somebody, to be used as somebody olso pleased." (Applause.) A voice: " Missouri gives you 100, 000 majority, you bet." Another voice: 'Put Kansas down for 60,000. Another voice: "And Arkansas did pretty well herself." Mr. Bryan: "That sounds very much like one of those meetings where they take up a collection. (Laughter.) My friends, there is one characteristic about this campaign, and that is the intense earnestness of the people. Sometimes in a campaign you find men lukewarm, who do not know whether they are going' to be at the polls or not; and sometimes you-lind it neces sary to got carriages to take the peo ple to the polls. Unless all signs fail, the people are going to be at the polls before the booths open and stay there until they close, and there won't be a man who can got to the polls but who will be sure to be there. What does it mean ? It means that the people are taking the interest in the election that they ought always to take. They are beginning to understand the value of the ballot as the means by which they can redress their wrongs. Sometimes people have complained that the laws were bad and have allowed them to re main bad. They have complained that they ought to be better, and have done nothing to make them better. If the laws are bad, themselves are to blame: and if they wish good laws they must secure them themselves. And this in terest means something. It means that the government is going to be made nearly what government ought to be, and tuat is a government which will )rotect the humblest citizen in the land in his right to work and to enjoy the fruits of his toil." (Great applause.) AT ST. LOUIS. I assume, in the first place, that every citizen is competent to form an opinion upon this issue. Our oppo nonts tell us that the money question is a complicated question, and that only a few arc able to master it. There is no question which can conic before the American people which is too deep for the American people themselves. (Applause.) There is no question which must be submitted to a particu laR class of people. (Applause.) The Creator did not make any class of peo ple to think for the rest of the people. (Applause.) If lie had He would have given extra brains to those who were to do the thinking and simply have given backs to all the rest that they might carry the burdens of life. (A p pilause.) The constitution did not sug gest that any class of people was to act for any other class. Tf the found ers of the constitution had ever sup pmosed1 that a question would arise liIke the money question, and had thought that it could be only settled by finan ciers, then ouri forefathers would have written in the constitution that while on most subjects all the people might vote, on the money question only the linanciers could vote. (Applause and laughter.) When the ballot was given to you it was given upon the assump-) tion that you had the intelligence and patriotismi necessary to use It right, and I believe, my friends that you havL~e. in this gover'nment publication, is sued by the treasury department on thew first, of July13, l89(i, I find a statement of the amount of money of all kinds in circeulation among the people for the various yarims. Let me call your atten tion to the amount given here for the yeairs 1894, '95 andl '96(. - In 18914 the amount of money In circulation, ac ('coding to this rep~ort, was $1,660,700), 4)00. lIn 189)5 that amount, ofimoncy had fallen to $l~,5O1,000,00-a deer- ase in one0 yearI of $51,000,000. On the 30t~h dhiy of Ju ine, I1896, the amount in cir' cul ation had fallen to $1,501i,000,000i. What, (10es it, meanik ? It means that in t~wo years timelt, aiccor'ding to the ireasur'y repmort, the amount of money ini cir cuilation among the people had falleni about, one hundred and fifty imill ion dol)1lars in amount. In othei' wvods, ini tVwo year's time there has b)een a deccr'ease of about 10 por' cent. in the amiouniit of mioniey in' circulation among -the people. Tis 1, my3 fr'iendms, Is the Tr'ieaisuryn,, report,, and thiis rep)ort shows that while tbhe per capita elirculIation in 1 81 wams $2 [28 per capita, in 1896 It had fall eni to $2 I.-10, aL fatll of moire th an I 3 per. capita. (A voiceo: "~ I haven't got, Ii ve cents ini imy pocket.") T1hor'o is evi denmce in the reim-'i'k of my fiendi that cv''n d'creaime peri capitat is not, distr'ibuited wvithi ab~soluto equal ity. Now I have called your' attention to thiis dece'e ho(wn by )3 tihe Trieasuriy report,. Le~t ime show you, imy fiendsI~, - that instead~ of tlihi'e being IL decre'ase ,theroe ought to haive been ani increase each year'. Senator .John i Sbherman t made aL speichi on the 6th of .Ju3no, I1890, 3 andl In the cour -se of that speech lhe -used- these words: "If our' presenrt, 1 currency Is esti miatedl at $' 1030.0: ,d000 1 and ouri po pulationm is incre'ta- ing ati thec rate of thi'oe per' ,'ent. pir annium~i, it, would req iri' $ 12 4444.0004 inccased a cir~ultio Cieh war'14 t o cp paeo(' rt with the i ncm'ease' of popuaiitIin hmt B as the Increase of popu'ti'i is ac at comfpanied by a till p-iLter3 raLt' oIf .i increase of wealth and iu dow it, a (hought that an Immmediate increase Inecireuldattn mih be obined by larger purchases of silver bullion to at amount suflicient to make good the re tiremont of bank notes and keep paa vith the growth of population.

A' MT. VERNON, ILL. Irvian Never Decclarei that fie Was Not a Democrat -- It was a Ca paign Lie. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people packed themselves into the court house square at Mt. Vernon, Ill., where ho denied the allegation that be ever said lie was not a Dlomocrat. Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Judge Senple, of the appellate court, who announced that ho had always been a Republican himself until this year. Mr. Bryan said : I appreciate the fact that this meet ing is presided over by one who until this campaign has been a Republican. I also appreciate tile fact that while my opponents may say of me that I am young and ;ackiug In public oxperienue, they cannot bring that charge against a member of the appellate court, whose judgment and heart have led him to espouse the cause of the 1)01)10. I am glad that from day to day we are finding recruits to our cause from those whose positions in public life raises them above the slander of those who ai.ply the name of anarchists or disturber of the public peace to those who raise their hands against the en croachments of syndicates and corpo rations. (Applause.) A few months ago I was in your midst, then as a private citizen, simply representing a cause which was near to my heart, and when I told you hero that the brand of my Democracy was di ferent from the brand which was be ing presented by the administration, your city was advertised by those who tried to maka it appear that I denied that I was a Dmocrat. (Applause. My friends, those of you who were hert know that I not only did not duelart myself not a Democrat, but that I havt always declarod myself a better Demo crat than any man who bought to undt what Jetferson and Jackson did for tht American people. (Great applause. Since we met here last March. the Re publican part-y met in national conven tion at, St. Louis, and did what no part3 in this nation ever did before-solomn ly declared that the financial policy oi this country should depend not upor what the American people wanted, bul upon what foreign nations in .thei compassion would allow the Americat people to have. (Applause.) The Re publican platform does not say that the gold standard is a good thing. It it substance declares that a double stan dard is better than the single gold standard, because that platform pledge. the Republican party to get rid of tlc gold standard and substitute the bi. metallic principal. When ? Not wher our people need it; not when oui people desire it; but as soon as the leading commercial nations of the world will join with us in doing it. (Applausc.) I ask you, my friends, to study that platform well, because we may fairly asunie that a man elected upon a platform will carry out that platform. When does the lelpublican platform say wu shall have bimetal lism ? It does not state that time. How long does it say that we must maintain the gold standard ? For one year ? It does not limit it to a year or four years. Now, my friends, so far as that platform goes, it declares that whether the American people like the gold standard or not, whether they suffer fromi it or not, they must maintain it forever if foreign nations insist upon our keeping it,. (Great applause.) I am willing to submit the qfuestion to the A merica~n plel. ( A pplause and cries of "That's right.") AT' LO)USVI[,AMl, KY. Appeals to thle Country on Higher Grounds(5 thani Party Fealty. M r. Bryan received a great ovation at Louisville, Ky., whore he spoke to 4l0,000 ele,~( andi expressed hiimsel f as follows: WVe are entering upon a campaign, and, as we have nothing to conceal, I toll you frankly that I have come to Kentucky because I want the electoral vote (of Kentucky in November. (Ap plauye and cries "You will get them.") As the nominee of the D~emocratic patrty' I might appeaCil to you on the ground of the regularity of rmy nomnina Lion. I might call your attention to the fact that the Chicago convention was regularly called by the regular authority, and all over this Union Democrats assembled In the regular way to select their delegates to that convetntion. I mighit call your atten tion to the fact that noj convention ever held in the country as accurately ro ll-icted thu sentiment of the party which selected the delegates as did the Chicago con vontion. (Great cheuring.) In no convention within this genera Lion have the~ voters taken so active and so inlluentiali a part as (Lid the voters oif the~ Democratic paIrty take In the Ch icago convention. If you have re-. gatrd for the will of a majority of the party regularly expressed, then I can appleal to you on the ground that I am the nominee of the De~mocratic party in the r-egular way. But I shall ap. peal to you for your support on higher groundls than party regularity. (Cheers] I exprlessly release, so far as I am con. cornedtl from the supplIort of the Chi cage tickot overy Decmocrat who bc !ieves that the suiccess of that ticket would iminperil ouar coautry. (Cheers. I shall not ask anay mamn to violate hih conscience or be (leaf to the voice of his judlgment. I shall ask no false fealty to party above love of country (Applause.) I would not (10 It my self, I will ask nobotdy to (1( what I will nol do. ( Applause and cheering.) I be lieve, friends, that the Chicago plat form presents the pollhes which will be best for- the people oif this country I believe that these hpolices put int<( i'aw will bri n i blces in to) the AmI~eri can peopale, anrd I(L esi or attentior to the fact thiat in tisCtI campiign tht lines arei( drav-n bon:ween p)luitocrac1 aind Defmlocracy, thiere~ it no( id(dlt ground. (Cheers anid appilause. ) I sa) to you miy friends that ini a camnpaigm lIke this on the onme side~ atre arraytt the syndicates, trusts arAl combinai Lionis of money grabbers of this coun try and in IEurope, and on the othei -id aireno the tnlling masses, and mn, nman has the right to throw away his ballot. (Applause.) If the success of the Clh icago t icket will be a bad thing for this country, every one of you w ho believe so ough t to vote the Republican ticket to save your country from distress, If the elee tion of the Republican ticket woulid be a bad thing for your country. the you ought to vote for the Chicago tieet to save your country f rom id istress. (Cleers and cries of " We are going to.") The Chicago platform (oos not present new doctrines. Our platform decitres against the issue of hids in times of peace, and against traulicking with the syndicates which have been saving our country at so much per save during tbo last few years. (Great cheering.) Lot inc read you what one of your own citizens once aid On the subject. in 1878 Hon. John G. Carlislo (basses and applauso) used the words which I shall quoto. (Hisses and applauso.) I.et ie read these wo'ds ': "Tiis troublo now going on cannot cease until all the industrial interests of the country are fully and finally emanipated from the heartless domination of syndicates, stock exchanges and other great coi )binations of money gaiiblers in this country and iurope." (A pplatso.) That, my friends, was the language of John G. Carlisle. I thank God," said Mr. Bryan, " that the Democratic party has driven out of its ranks the representatives of these syndicates." I seek no votes under falso protensos. I want your sullrage under no condi tions whereby you may be deceived, and therefore I say to you that if thero is one person here who believes that this nation should maintain its present gold standard until foreign nations help us to let it go, that person ought nlot to vote for im1e for f Will not carry out his ideas. I am willing to submit to the A meru'i can people any question, however great, and abide by their decision, w hatever it may be, until the American people themsel.ves rev erso' t ih t (1 . ,I I am ni'. %%Wt -ttillt i : fi t - trillin:t question that t.fleets our doim tic alflairs to foreig.n intervention or tihe adt and consontof any other nation Oil earth. (Applause.) It is not necessary to speak to silver men. If there is an advocate of tLie gold standard here, I ailt toi show that gold taindaLd to him ul intil h will be ashamed to look hi- flihow men in t1w face and say he wants it. (Cheer.) W. are opposcd to the gold stlnda rdh cause it nakes moiny dear. Dear money makes clihap propecrt3 anl cheap property makes hard tinme,. Hard tinmce. makes every producer of wealth taste of a(Irtaess, and utIit of those who would be emiIployed it malks idle men, and out of idle mnen it mnak destitute anen, and out, of destitute men it makes criminal men. The gold standard mneans more of crime and a larger army to keep the cilninals in sjubj"etion. \ 0ehave not all the newspapers with us in this light. (A voieo : " We have got the people.") We have not all the newspapers with us, but an editor only votes once. (Laughter and cheers.) An editor only votes once, and I have known some editors who had so little influonce over their own conduct that they could not evev control the vote that tile law gives them. (Great cheer ing and laughter.) We would like to have tile newspapers with us beciause we hate to have our- peo)ple get muad overy morning when they read the pa pers. (Great laughter.) I don't know of one thing that has caused so miany people to forget the resolve they made on the irst of tihe year never to swear again. I don't know of any one tihing that has made so many break that promise as the gold editors. They say we don't think. I allinm tihe ad vocates of free coinage are the people in this ciampaigni wlo.r ap.ply natural laws to the money question and carr~y into the discussion of fi nance the same intellIi gence thaat is used in ord inary bus inelss.
