Mr. Bryun spoko in prt ns follows:

Is within the rcrtrh of every citizen of

ambition than that for any olllce, and that
Is an ambition to do what I can to mnke

common people who never got stuck up

laughter nnd upplnune.)
The object of my speech Is u practical
one. I want to uso this occnslon to point to
a great lesson. I believe the fact thnt thu
nation has here the representatives nf all
of the races of Europe gives It n peculiar
advantage among tho nation". The fact
thnt the best blood of nil the civilized races
mingles here In the develonment nf. the
American character ennbles till nation to
mm upon every question tno light or uni
versal history and avoid the dangers from
which other tiHttntw hnvn iirTnrfi,l (An.
plause.) When a problem nrlses In this
country we look hack and llnri out what luw
been tho experiences of others. If we knew
the history of our own people only wc
wouldn't be so well prepured to detect dan
ger before wi suffer from It. but If nny on
does not know the growth of Inncllordlm
and Its dAnfters Un has only to ask nn Irish
man what landlordism mentis and he need
not read history to find It out. (Great ap
plause.) If nnv one want to ltnow whether
an nllen government Is good nil he bus to do
Is to ask an Irishman what his opinion I
of nn alien government, although tho gov
ernment Is sepnrnted from the governed
only by a narrow channel. If you want lo
Know wnai militarism means nnd wnnt its
burdens are all you have to do Is to ask a
Oermnn who enmo to this country to avoid
me militarism ot me out world. Aim so i
inlcht co through the various experiences
of other nations, -The fact that wc hnvo
here the representatives nf theso pcoplft
enables us to scent tho dancer from afar
mid to ghnrri against their experience
hero. And I mlss-my guess ir tho American
people, thus made up, will not develop n
civilization higher, greater and moro endur
ing than nny civilization which has pre
ceded ours.
When any one tells mo thnt we want to
Imitate an Anclo-Saxon civilization I tell
them that an American civilization Is high"!1
thon nny other no matter what it is. I no
not mean to say one word against tin
Anglo-Saxon. I have not a word to say
against the Celt, the Latin, the Greek or
the Teuton. Hut I do believe that th
American. In whom are combined the vlr
tures of them till. Is the greatest citizen
the world hns ever known nnd th.it the
civilization to be developed here will lift
humanity to a hlKher piano than It Ikih jc-
cupled In the daya gone by
Mr. Stevenson's speech wns eulogistic of
Ireland nnd Irishmen.
Hon. Charles A. Towne wns the third
speaker of the day. Mr. Towne's speech was
largely an appeal to "Make good and keep
good the promises bf the Declaration of In
dependence.". Ho declared that tho Ameri
can principle was reacting not only upon
Europe, but upon Japan nnd South Africa.
Speaking of the Transvaal republics, he ex
pressed tho hope that if liberty was to (lnd
Us grave In South Africa, It should find Its
resurrection In America. He declared that
the present administration had been the first
In the history of the United States to enter
upon a war of conquest, declaring In strong
terms In this connection against Imperial
ism nnd militarism towards which ho as
serted tho country Is tending.
Hon. Samuel Alschuler, democratic candi
date for governor nf Illinois, nssorted that
tho Issues at stako In the present cnmpalgn
wero more vital than had over been pre
sented in tho history of the country. The
issue he defined to he that of liberty and he
criticised In sharp langungo tho attitude of
the government of the United States toward
tho Boers and the Filipinos.
A nlEht meeting was held at which
speeches were made by Hon. John F. Flnerty
ana Michael j. nyan of Philadelphia.

that ho had lost bis mileage book and had
