"This is a bad time for you to^come In. .Mr. Smith," said Mr. Bryan, as he ■hook hands. “You ore in the company °f o mlglfly dangerous man, you know, and the newspapers may get hold of It." "Oh, I guess there’s n» danger now," remarked Mr. Smith, "I’ve won my race, you know'.” A conversation between the two big Democrats followed. Mr. Bryan, sit ting easily in u big locker, looked cool and comfortable In his shirt sleeves. He wore a low turndown collar and a blnek string tic and the wrinkled trousers which excited the scorn of a London tuilor were still In evidence. Change* in Appearance. The Nebraskan lias changed since that first great campaign. Ten years have taken much of the glossy black hair from his head and the baldness txtends far back from his forehead. The thin, almost haggard face of the St. Louis convention has disappeared and the cheeks have put on flesh. But the ir.outh, that mobile, flexible mouth, •ias not changed.

He had succeeded in getting one leg over the railing, when the crowd surged against hlin and knocked him to the floor. Be fore he could be rescued he had been badly trampled. Dr. A. L.

At I o'clock every car to Ponce DeLeon waa crowded with passengers and the steep stair way leading to the rink was blocked with pushing and shoving people who fought for entrance. Seate wera pro-* tided for about 3,(00 persona. All of these were filled before 3:30 o'clock. The chairs occupied only three-fourths of the auditorium, and the big spare behind the chairs was rapidly filled. Three row* of wicker rocking chain were provided for the todies just In front of the stage. And these were soon Ailed, wfille a large percentage of the ladles was aratterod through tha crowd. Halowell'a band played pa triotic and popular airs. The auditorium was decorated 'with national flags, a number lining the stage, while two great banners were draped at the rear of the stage. Among those on the platform ware Congressman Charles L. Bartlett, of Macon; the justices of the state su preme court, J. \V. Goldsmith, Colonel John Temrle Graves, Major E. E. Pom eroy, Judge J. T. Pendleton. Dr. John E. White, State Treasurer tl. E. Park, E. P. Childress, Captain W. D. Ellis, Judge H. M. Reid, E. T. Williams, W. S. Elkin, Jr., Rev. W. T. Hunnlcutt, Dr. W. W. Landrum, Hugh Dorsey, Judge Nash Broyles, and W. O. How ard. At 4:05 o'clock Mr) Bryan arrived In an automobile, driven by Mr. McDon ald, of the Franklin Company. In the car with him were Lamar Hill and J. J. Hastings. Mr. Bryan waa dressed In a sack coat of dark material. Hoke Smith and H. H. Cabanlss ar rived at the same time In another au tomobile. More than a thousand people were gathered outside the enrrance to the Ponce DeLeon skating rink and these people were the first to raise the cheers which welcomed Mr. Bryan. The ova tion which was begun when the city's guest first apiieared was continued as he passed up the steps Into the hall and taken up with a will by the six thousand people on the Inside of the building. The cheering was tumultu ous and long continued and Mr. Bry an's welcome could hardly have been warmer. When Mr. Bryan and the party were seated Prealdent Lamar Hill toook the floor. President Hill said In Introducing Reuben R. Arnold that the Young Men'a Democratic League had for Its purpose not so much the Democratic campaign work as the duty of receiv ing nnd entertaining the leaders of the Democratic party. He referred to Mr. Bryan aa the man who In 1308 would lead the Democratic party on to vie tor} - . In his short Introductory speech Mr. Arnold said "Right now we scent vic tory for the party In the next presi dential campaign." In the course of his remarks he said: "The day has come when we demand sharp, clear- cut platforms and when we demnnd briefly In the candidate as In the plat form." He then spoke briefly of the Democratic platform, platforms of the past and the Issues on which the Democratic party rests today. Bryan 8tarts Spesch. MR. AND MRS.

"I am very glad to be with you again and I appreciated the kindly words employed in presenting me to you. I have great faith in these splendid young men who have presented me at this meeting. Their prophecy Is half wit and half environment. If that rate bill had contained a clause limiting the presidential election to Georgia I am sure I should have no doubt of my election. And I shall not wait until I hold office before advancing the In terests of my party. You have a style of oratory down South that we can not Imitate. Your warm blood fills your peeches with flowers, while we of the North live In such cold winters that we must confine oureslves to cold facts, "I remember that Georgia nominated me in Chicago after I had requested my own state not to do so. I have vis ited Georgia among the first of states and shall visit her at the last, for If do not get out an Injunction against me I intend to come again and again, and I shall bring my wife with me. Republicene Are Apologizing. I am glad that I am In a party that, 1 stands tor things so fundamental tl|%i they may be Incorporated In a plat form In any state. The Democratic party Is a party of thug? in every sta tion who want eqvlj T.ghts for all and special prlvilegM for none. It Is the hope of the po>r man, for It pro William Jennings Bryan, Democratic choice for next president of the United States, accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, ar rived In Atlanta from Augusta Thurs day morning and will be the guest of the Young Men's Democratic League until 4 o'clock Friday morning, when he will leave for Birmingham over tt?e Southern railway. Between 2,200 and 2,500 people shook hands with Mr. Bryan In the reception room of the Piedmont Hotel within a period of 35 minutes Thursday morn ing. The original plan was to have Mr. Bryan stand from 11 to noon, but, At the end of 36 minutes Burton Smith suggested that the reception 1 be ter minated then, as the heat was Intense and the line of visitors perceptibly thinning. This proposition Mr. Hryan readily agreed to, us he was beginning to look a Utile tired, and he also realized that several hours were ahead of him before he left Atlanta at midnight. Several times he stopepd the line In order to wipe the perspiration from his face and neck. A powerfully built man came for ward, and as he shook hands, said: "Mr. Bryan, I am /nun Omaha, and have voted tor you twice. Jam ready to do It again, too." "So glad to know ono Omaha man who voted for me," was the pleasant rejoinder. Two handsomely gowned ladles stopped long enough to say: "Bryan admirers nnd Westerners, too.” As Judge George Hlllyer came up Burton Smith Introduced him with the remark: "The best Democrat In Georgia.' "That’s a great distinction—tho best Democrat in Georgia, where they grow the best you can And," was Mr. Bry an’s reply. With Judge Hlllyer was his two brothers, Henry Hlllyer, of Augusta, and Dr. Eben Hlllyer, of Rome. It waa noticed by many that neither of Georgia’s senators nor any one of her eleven congressmen were present during the reception. So far as known Congressman T. W. Hardwick, of the Tenth, was the only one In the city. About 11:25 Mrs. Bryan came Into the room with the ladles of the recep tion committee. She took a position beside hsr husband for a few minutes nnd shook hands with all who cams forward. She looked rested from hsr trip. After she left the line some one asked for her. Mr. Bryan pointed to where she stood In a group ot ladles and said; "You’ll And her over there. Just look for the handsomest woman In the party and that will be Mrs. Bryan. It will probnbly be a hard task as they ore all very handsome ladles.” Sidney Tapp came near the close of the reception nnd lingered long enough to whisper something confidentially to Mr. Bryan, and pat him on the shoul der as he moved away. large number of the most promi nent people in Atlanta attended the re ception. and there were many visitors from over the state.

The Republicans are to day apologizing where they do not fol low Democratic doctrines and rejoicing when they do follow Democratic doc trines.” Mr. Bryan here read an extract from a speech of Secretary Shaw, delivered nt Salisbury. N. C., showing where Mr. Shaw had adopted Democratic prin ciples. He said that In the South Shaw had used a policy that had been dis carded by the Republicans In the West. "Mr. Shaw Is the friend of stand patters." he said. "The Democratic party IsModay a united pqrty nnd unit ed on the side of the people. The Re publican party Is Just entering the Val ley of the Shadow of Death from which Democracy has Just emerged. "We may pity It, but can not help. It must fight its own battles. The Re publican party will have a harder time than we had. The Republican president repre sents the reform element. He Is not, to my mind, an advance*! Republican, but owing to his position the most prominent. Secretary Shaw has been exposed to reform, but It did not tnke. The burden of his speech at Salisbury was on the tariff and he admits al most every contention of our party. For years the Republicans have con tended that the foreigner and not the consumer paid the tariff. But Secre tary Shaw In one of his lllustrations admits that the consumer pays.” Mr. Bryan continued with a num her of statistics showing the evils of high tariff. He was given the closest attention, even In those periods when he touched on dry subjects nnd those of little interest to the average citi zen. Pressed Down By Tariff. Mr. Bryan brought out with striking illustrations the contradictions In the argument put up by the Republicans in favor of high tariff. Mr. Bryan then declared that when he was a child his father made him put ground "chunks" under the lever when he wished to lift a fence and that although he was not a precocious child, he always knew that the real weight was on the "ground chunk." He then used this Illustration to show how the consumer was being pressed down by high tariff. "I can understand," he declared, "how a man under compulsion can sfard be ing a ’ground chunk.' but I can not un derstand how a man sRsr having once been used In that capacity can say, Here I am. use me again.’ ” Mr. Bryan then declared that If the pe*jrie wanted high tariff they should get their council to levy a tax on $100,- 000 a year and divide this among ten people with the proviso that the ten people use the money for building houses. This, he declared, would give work to the brick layers and the car penters and then the ten people owning the houses would state that the coun cil was the best In the country. BASEBALL. NATIONAL.
