The ceremony was one of the South. The veterans who fought for the "Lost Cause” were gath ered together to pay their tribute to the man whose memory Is revered above all others. That the multitude had gathered for one purpose wai shown by the attitude of the people toward William Jennings Bryan, who was the gnest of the re union. He was given a remarkable ovation as he drove through the streets In the line of march, and cheered as he mounted the stand before the program was begun. At the conclusion of the ceremony there were calls for him. but these were drowned In a chorus of “No, no. no!” General Stephen D. Lee announced In ringing tones: "There will be no poli tics here." Mr. and Mrs. Bryan had occupied a position In the rear of the speaker’s stand, nut of sight of the people.' As eoon as his name was called Mr. Bryan made a movement as though to withdraw from the stand.
