A reception was held for two hours in the hotel parlors in the afternoon, wbeu Mr. and Mrs. ilryun shook bunds with a constant line ot callers, which still stretched along half a block out side the building when the doors were closed upon the lust coiners. Mr. Ilryun was escorted to the hull by tiie “Cleveland Democracy,'' the city's oldest party organization, and by ward clubs bearing torches. The line of murch was along half a mile of Main street, crowded almost us thick ly as was the hull, and red fire and cannon announced his coming. When Mr. Ilryun appeared upon the stage, escorteu uy mnTc < ommmeeinan noun C. (Sheehan, the police were powerless to control the audience, and swarm ing down to the front, several hun dred men took possession of the seats reserved for the clubs which escorted Mr. liryan. Mr. liryan xaid, among other things: "We propose a financial policy. Our opponents propose nothing. Without during to defend the gold standard, without daring to set a time when you shall escape it, they nreach the doctrine of 'grin and bear it,’ and offer no hope to the human race. We ask for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. We have had it in the past, and we ask that the American people shall do their own legislating for themselves without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, and we have had it In the past. We believe that the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 will maintain the parity between gold and silver. “And right here let rne call atten tion to something which I have learned since I came into your city. I am told that some of your mer chants, in order to give an object les son to the people, have been offering to furnish Mexican dollars for 60 cents as part of the change when you buy goods Mv friends, let me give f'ou sn opportunity to test the smeer ty of these people. Let me give you a suggestion. They tell you that If we had the free coinage of silver that the American dollar would be as little as the Mexican dollar is now. They tell you that if we bad the tree coin age of silver, silver will not rise in value. Let ine give you a suggestion by which you can test them. When ever a man offers you a Mexican dol lar for 50 cents, you take it, and then take It to your savings bank and ask them if they will take- it on deposit for 50 cents and give you a written agreement to give you a Mexican dol lar the next dav after the inaugura tion of the next president. “Our opponents have said that the soldiers who are receiving pensions must be protected against the free coinage of silver. They would have us believe that these financiers who are insisting upon the go d standard are insisting upon it for fear the sold iers drawing a pension may suffer by the abandonment of the gold stand aril. They forget that those who were soldiers remember the times we hud during the war; they forgot that these soldiers were old enough to know something of legislation; they forgot that these soldiers know that the financiers who are today pleading the cause of the soldier who was offering his life for his couutry and receiving his pay in greenbacks while these same financiers were making their bonds payable in coin, although they did not fight themselves (Applause.) And I ain not willing to believe that they urt auy more considerate of the soldiers' interests today than they were at the time when tliov were look ing after themselves (Applause.)
