Sir. L'orkran 1'nya Compliment to
the NVIirmUun,
CHICAGO, Sept. 1C The exciting
Joint debate looked for last night be
tween William J. Bryan and Bourko
Cochrane on trust did not tako place.
Central Music hall was packed with
an eager audience, but tho people pres
ent had to content themselves without
tho orntory of the famous Nebraska!!,
who occupied a scat on the platform.
Mr. Bryan' reached tho hall early In tho
evening. He went to a room upstairs,
where he was greeted by Chairman
Fianklln Head, Congressman Gains
Rnlph M. Easley and other members
of tho program commlttco of the Civic
Federation.
Mr. Bryan declined to rpenk nt tho
night session with W. Bourko Coch
rane, In accordance with tho program
previously arrnnged, Mr. Brynn ex
plained that ho did not wish to let
the Impression go out that he was to
enter Into a debate with Mr. Cochrane.
For that reason he said ho would not
speak at the same session with Mr.
Cochrane. Mr. Cochrnnc was sent for
and he and Mr. Bryan discussed tho
situation. The committee withdrew
to allow the two orators to scttlo tho
dispute. Mr. Bryan asserted that ho
never said ho would follow Mr.
Cochrnnc with nn address on tue
same evening. If tho committee got
that Impression from tho conversation
he had with them by telcphono ho said
thoy misunderstood him. Mr. Uoenrniio
wanted to talk nt the sumo session
with the noted Nebraskan and offered
to flit n coin to detcrmlno who should
have tho privilege of dcllvcrlni; tho
closing address.
Then Mr. Cochrane agreed to appear
at any time the committee desired. The
program was changed, however, to
meet Mr. Brynn's wishes,
Mr. Brynn said he was nnxlous to
address tho conference, nnd repeated
that his only reason for changing the
program was to avoid any Indication
of n public discussion with Mr. Coch
ran. Mr. Bryan will speak at tomor
row's session. Though disappointed
In falling to sco such a spectaclo us
Bryan and Cochrnn pllJd ngalnst each
other, tho audience nevertheless en-
Joyed a rare treat, an Mr. Cochran wan
at his best, nnd his speech was punc
tuated with frequent and prolonged ap
plause.
When Mr. Brynn mndo his nppcnr-
nncc nt tho entrance It wns tho signal
for tumultuous cheering, which lasted
until tho Ncbrnsknn had tnken his
scat on tho stand. Mr. Foulko of In
diana, who was In tho intddlo of an
address when tho outburst occurred,
put tho nudlenco In good humor by re
marking:
'I guess you enmo hero tonight to
hear somebody elso speak." Mr. Foulko
wns followed by Hon. Edward Roso-
wntcr of Omaha, whoso address re
ceived close attention. Tho chair then
Introduced Hon. W. Bourko Cochran
of Now York.
At tho close of hlfl speech the New
Yorker won tho hearts of hla listeners
by paying Mr. Brynn a few well chosen
compliments, which the democratic
leader blushlngly acknowledged. Mr.
Cochran likened Mr. Bryan to a mo
nopoly and claimed ho was a bigger
monopoly as tho leader of the demo
cratic party than nny financial corpo
ration In tho world. Mr. Cochran spoke
for about two hours, and when ho con
cluded cries for Mr. Brynn canio from
all over the houso. Finally Mr. Bryan
arose and said that for the good ot the
conforenco all partisan feeling shou.u
bo eliminated from tho gnlhorlng, nnd
although ho agreed with Mr. Cochran
In ninny of his arguments, It was
necessary thnt hla sldo of tho contro
versy should bo given tomorrow.
