William Jennings Bryan had no
cause to feel slighted utter his chilly
greeting oil the way from the railway
station when he bowed and smiled and
waved his hands madly and frantically
in Metropolitan Hall today as the
cheering audience rose as one man and
did him honor with hands and feet
and voice. It was truly a demonstra
tion to delight his heart, for few
private citizens of this great nation
are so universally admired. Mr. Bryan
was like a man who had traveled
much, who was weary, but the light
and fire leaped to his eyes as he ac
knowledged the greeting. It made him
feel as if he was at home with his
friends.
Throughout his long address the
audience did not move except to
scream and cheer. He was thrilled
again in the square at the capitol
when, other crowds yelled joyfully.
Without that miserable, beating rain
and mist the ovation would have swept
the thousands on the streets.
As soon as the carriages containing
the Bryan party and members of the
various committees had deposited their
occupants i at Metropolitan Hall, and
all had passed through the doors, the
crowd was allowed to enter, and the
hall was densely packed in a minute,
it seemed.
The doors were closed in a few min
utes.
On the platform on either side of Mr.
Bryan as the band played Dixie
while the crowd was seated, sat Gov
ernor Glenn, Chief Justice Walter
Clark, National Committeeman Jose
phus Daniels, ex-Governor Charles B.
Aycock and Senator F. M. Simmons.
Behind these were several hundred
guests and committeemen and county
chairmen and state officers, members
of congress and others, with their fam
ilies. In the boxes were the ladies of the
Bryan party and those who partici
pated in the reception.
All the arrangements passed off
without a hitch.
Mr. Bryan Introduced.
Governor Glenn introduced Mr.
Bryan briefly and eloquently as a
statesman as profound and learned as
a Calhoun or a Webster and more
pathetic and more powerful than a
Clay, but as a man who had chosen
the tetter part and was an humble
Christian gentleman. "He enjoys,"
said the governor, "the unique dis
tinction of rather gaining the approval
of his own conscience than the plaudits
and honors given by men. I now in
troduce to you the statesman, orator,
defender of the rights of the people,
Hon. William Jennings Bryan of the
United States of America."
As Mr. Bryan 'arose the applause was
deafening, and there is no telling how
long it would have lasted hail not the
orator held up his hand with a ges
ture that asked the crowd to desist.
It was a quarter after 11 o'clock
when Mr. Bryan began, and until ten
minutes to 1 o'clock the packed hull
was as one man at attention. The ap
plause that came all through the
speech was given with spirit as the
points were made, and when he con
cluded It came In great volume un
checked. One noticeable change in Mr. Bryan
since He was In Raleigh last is that
ho wears eye-grlasses to read. He said
he had been obliged to use them re
cently, and added that while It now
took four eyes for him to see what he
could formerly see with two eyes, he
still saw them from a democratic point
of view.
After the speaking the great com
moner was surrounded by a crowd who
wanted to shake his hand, and a num
ber of telegrams were handed him. As
soon an he could bo gotten away from
his admirers he was taken to the Capi
tol Square, where he addressed another
biff crowd from the band stand.
Governor Glenn announced that on
account of the lateness of the hour It
-would be Impossible to hold the recep
tion contemplated, that Mr. Bryan
would be cotripelled to eat and run in
order to catch the special train leaving
at 3:10.
Bryan Begins Speaking.
At the outset of his speech Mr. Bryan
said that North Carolina had a peculiar
claim upon his affections, as it was one
of the first states of the union to de
clare through its delegates that it want
ed him for the democratic nomination
for 1908. It was not difficult, he said,
to locate the original Bryan man. In
this connection he promised that In
any future campaign the peo;ile of this
state could always call upon him. t
Mr. Bryan said he was doubtful In
coining south if he was using his time
to the better advantage, and added that
his coming was made stilt less neces
sary from the fact that Secretary Shaw
had been here before. Taking up Sec
retar Shaw n Ashevllle speech, Mr.
Bryan said he felt grateful to him
for the service he had rendered the
democratic party, but he had not
paid North Carolina a high com
pliment. Secretary shaw, be de
clared, had tried to palm off
in the slate some second hand cloth
ing he could not gel rid of in Iowa.
He had brought a speech Which had
been rejected in his own state He
declared that Secretary Shaw is the
high priest of the stand-patters, that
he goes beyond ( very other republican
111 that the republican party has done
everything necessary.
What He Said of Shaw.
"Secretary Shaw," he said, "has not
a word In favor of any modification
of the tariff schedule, while in other
states, New England states, and Iowa,
conspicuous republicans are demanded,
and even Mr. McKinley had reached
a point where he saw something must
be done to extend our trade."
Mr. Bryan showed nt some length
that Secretary Shaw's argument con
firms almost all that the democrats
had ever said about the tariff.
Mr. Bryan said:
"You can't take Mr. Shaw's argu
ment as true without, believing that
these protected manufacturers get
money out of the Amerlcna people
and then get it again out of the for
eigners afterward."
On the question of democratic
planks advocated by republicans, Mr.
Bryan said that whenever a republi
can speaks of anything with praise
and rejoicing he is speaking of some
thing done i:i accordance with the
democratic government. When he
apologizes, he is talking about some
purely republican doctrine. Every
thing the republicans say on the tar
iff, he added, is in the way of apology.
Roosevelt's Greatest Victory.
As to President Roosevelt as a war
rior, Mr. Bryan said that two years
ago Governor Black in nominating
the president, delivered a eulogy on
war, saying the country needed a man
of blood and iron. "At the St. Louis
convention," said Mr. Bryan, "I quot
ed this and said it was a challenge,
to christian civilization. Now isn't It
strange that within two years the man
who was then ca'.led the god of war
has won his greatest victory and laid
the foundation for his greatest glory
as a maker of peace between Russia
and Japan."
Coming to the question of trusts,
Mr. Bryan said that "you don't en
join horse thieves, but put them in
the penitentiary, but trust magnates
must be just asked to desist before
the uproar becomes too great. Thoy
found that did not do and they said
we will actually tin.; you $5,000, when
you can make $100,000 during the
trial. We say treat rich and poor
alike. Talk about anarchists, the re
publican party has made more an
archists In this country by discrimi
nating In the punishment of the rich
and the poor than were ever made by
all the speeches on anarchy put to
gether." Socialism, The Rate Hill.
Mr. Bryan said there might be some
good business people In the south, who
now that the rate question was settled,
fdt almost ready to get over Into the
republican party, and they tell you it
is because they are afraid Of socialism.
"I want to tell those people," he said,
.... k .i ..... I .!;,.., , nt.r lo rn.nnliRl-
I Hull me royuvuvAti ... .
Ikio rr socialism. The fundamental
proposition of socialism is that com
petition is a bad thing, and the method
of relief is to have the government own
and control everything."
In this connection he said that the
way the republican party was going
now "we would be forced to meet the
question in time, whether monopolies
shoid be owned by a few people or all
peoflle, private or public ownership of
mJSfcipolies." . . .
Touching on the question of railroad
rates Mr. Bryan said:
"The president has made himself
popular by his action on the rate ques
tion. Where did he get the idea?

when I was at home and the Kansas

Skies Seemed to Exercise a Gloomy
Influence On the People.
When Mr. Bryan's special train
arrived at the union station at 10: 50
o'clock there were not more than a
few hundred people around there to
see and greet him, As he stepped
from the car platform there was no
demonstration whatever. lie shook
hands with Governor Glenn, his face
was lighted by a broad smile, and
then he turned and was presented to
the ladies. Members of the reception
committee grasped him by the hands.
and the party moved away towards
the carriages.
Mr. Bryan, Governor Glenn, Sen
ator Simmons and Chief Justice Clark
entered the first carriage and waited
three or four minutes while the lesser
dignitaries were tumbling in behind.
The mounted escort, cut out to the
head and next to the band, which
beat out in front and filled the damp
utmosphere with melody. By and by
the procession started. George W.
Norwood and Waller Grimes, on
horseback, rode on either side of the
carriage and Chief Mnllins and an
officer tramped.
Rain Made Reception Chilly.
Whether it was due to the small
crowd, the weather or the fuel thai
Mr. Bryan was partly concealed from
view in his carriage, it was ncvertho
leas true that his reception was chilly
to a degree. As he left the station
there was no shouting or yelling. At
the Academy of Music some members
of a' theatrical company out on the
fire escape clapped hands and scream
ed a little, but every effort to arouse
a demonstration fell flat. Except for
the rain and mist it might, have been
different and more joyful.
As the procession wheeled into
Fayetteville street the corner was
congested and one or two yells toro
the air. The Bryan carriage stopped
in front of Metropolitan Hall, the
distinguished guest was hurried
quickly from the cold, and the band
wont tramping toward the capitol, to
return again. Soon the head of Gov
ernor Glehn was stuck through a win-

BRYAN WRITES
TO GOV. VARDAMAN.
(By the Associated Press.)
Jackson, .Miss., Sept. 17. in a letter
to Governor James A. Vtirdaman, W.
J. Bryan declared that the main thing
which lei! him t,i believe in the gov
ernment ownership of railroads was
the corrupttlon in politics brought
about by private Ownership.
"You are right in saying I prefer
private ownership consistent with
pure politics anil Justice to the
public. I came reluctantly to my
present position, and I believe that you
and other democrats will be brought
reluctantly lo the same position. As
for the party it can only net when the
voters are ready to act and it is im
possible at t'uis time to say how far
public opinion will support the sug
gest ion I have made."
The letter was relative to a state
ment given out by Governor Yardaman
in which he stated that be would pre

governmental supervision.

The special committee to meet Mr.
Bryan and party in Greensboro and

ally at 3:30 yesterday afternoon and
put up at the McAdoo Hotel.
In this party were: Ex-Governor
Charles B. Aycock, Col. F. B. Aren
dell, Solicitor Armistead Jones, Coun
ty Attorney Herbert E. Norrls, Ed.
Chambers Smith, Col. Jos. E. Pogue,
and a representative of The Evening
Times.
Just before the committee left ar
rangements were perfected between
Chairman Simmons of tlie state dem
ocratic executive committee and the
officials of the Southern Railway for
the special train which was to take
Mr. Bryan west from Raleigh to
put on this morning at Greensboro
and bring the Nebraska statesman
and his party from there to Raleigh.
This train followed the regular morn
ing train, due in Raleigh at 10:30 iy
about ten minutes.
How They Traveled.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan arrived in
Greensboro from Roanoke, Va., via
Lynchburg and Danville on Southern
train No. 37 at 7:35 o'clock this
morning, forty minutes late. They
were traveling alone, three newspaper
men who are on this trip having gone
on ahead to Greensboro last night.
Mrs. Bryan and their daughter,
Miss Grace, had joined Mr. Bryan at
Cincinnati, whither he had journeyed
alone a'.nid a whirlwind of ovations
from Lincoln, Nebraska, with Homer
Bassford of the St. Louis Republic,
who accompanied the foremost Amer
ican cilizen during a great part of his
trip around the world. From Cin
cinnati the little family party and
the three gentlemen of the press had

crowd through Roanoke to Holllns,
Va., seven or eight miles east, and
there, at Hollins Institute, on Satur
day, parted from Miss Grace, who
was entered as a student.
The two other newspaper men
mentioned are Charles E. Kerr, of
the Washington Star, and C. O. Pen
nypacker, who is traveling in the

a style truly democratic, almost re
calling tlie days when Thomas Jeffer
son is recorded to have ridden up to
the fence surrounding the White
House grounds, tied his horse to the
palings and gone In and taken the
oath as president of the United States.
The man who has just been honored
as no other private citizen was ever

extra pair of trousers in a hand grip.

Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were met at
the station in Greensboro upon the ar
rival of No. 37 this morning by the
committee from Raleigh, headed by
