When the train rolled into the union station, at 6;45 o'- clock, several thousand people filled nearly ail ava iable space in and arourd I hat structure, and as Mr. Bi—an alighted from his car in charge of the local reception committee lie was wild'y cheered.

Bryan appeared on ti e balco ny of the hotel. He would not make a speech and the crowd had to be satisfied with his bows. Af ter dinner Mr. and Mrs. Bryan went to the Grand opera house, where the dem icratic candidate addrerted an immense ai'di?ncc. The healed atmosphere was almost unbearable and m j arly every man in the audrence had his coat off’. On the stage were President Dolan, of the Miners’ Union; Secretary John Kilgailen,of the Ama'gamat vd Association of Iron aud Steel Workers; sev* ral of the officers of the United States Labor League and local democrats.

Mr. Bryan proceeded to define the ratio of 1G to 1 and ridiculed the notion that free coinage would enable a man to sell ,50 cents' worth ot silver for sl. Under free coinage 4124 grains of standard silver would be worth a dollar to any one, because he could take it to the mint ai d get it coined into a dollar and when it is min'ed it is for the advantage of 'he w hoi people, because it furnish'd ihe means of buy ing the things which people produce. While the two meetings were in progress the streets in that vicinity were packed with people.
