Did Not Make it Political Speech, but
Advised People Not to Vote Accord

II ib Address Mm Ailuuded at
frequent Intervals.
Chicago, Sept.". As early as 10 o'clock
Sharpshooters' J'ark began to till up
with men uml women and by twelve
every scat before the speakers' stand
was taken by people who sat in the boil
ing sun for two hours u get a chance
to hear the orator of the day. A few
minutes after 2 o'clock half a dozen car
riages bearing the Itryan party arrived
at the piii and were followed Into the
grounds by a cheering, running crowd uf
men ami boys. Without sutllilcni police
pr.itectli.ii Mr. Hiyiul was forced to
push his way through the crowd at the
speaking platform, and after shaking
half a hundred outstretched hands he
dropped to a seat with his party follow
ing, amid the same obstacle to their
passage. In .Mr. Uryan's carriage were
Kdward Carroll, president of the Huild
Ing Trades council; J. ('.. .MeKinley,
president of the Carpenters' district
council, ami J. .1. ltyan, a local labor
leader.
The crowd of li.ixin was a motley and
ilisoiderly one and it was fifteen min
utes before Chailiilun Carroll could be
heard. Nobody wunt".l o hear him.
jand he iilckly Introduced the man for
I whom the thousands kept up an inter
mittent tire of "Hurrah for Hryan."
1 The crush around the platform was so
great that several women 1'ninteil and
narrowly escaped being trampled upon.
Mr. Itryan uppculcd fur iiulel, and Du
ally it was accorded him. broken occa
sionally by cries of "ijood boy, Willie."
The speaker began with an eulogy on
American labor.
Although his audience was largely In
sympathy with him politically. Judging
by the general manifestations tind the
absence of any hostile demonstrations,
Mr. Uryiin did not inaac a partisan
siicim h. He said he did no! intend to
disregard the proprieties of the occa
sion by entering Into a discussion of
partisan ipiestious. His speech was de
voted to un exposition of the form of
government in this country, its useful
ness and Its abuses; to an appeal to
workingmen to maintain the Integrity
of the ballot, to bring about a reforma
tion in the conditions which surrounded
them If they were discontented and
wanted a change.
He told the people not to vote accord
ing to the Idens of their employers and
was greeted with tremendous applause,
lilsciuiiciit lay ut the foundation of nil
progress. He inipl csse.l upon the work
ingmen the importance of voting only
as their judgment and conscience' dic
tated. When he said: "Some people
have criticized labor organizations."
voices cried "Manna." derisively. His
address was applauded at frequent In
tervals. jtitY.ws si'i:i:cn.
Mr. Itryan said in purt: Ladies and U-n-lleihen:!

whom this uiuiun is so largely Indebted
for ull that It has had, for all thut it has
now, and for all that it can hope lo have.
1 nm not Indulging in idle flattery when 1
say to you that no purt of the people of the
world are so important to the welfare of
mankind as those whose labor un.l brains
convert the natural resouues of the world
into material wealth. 1 might quote to
you what Mr. Carlisle said lo these peo
ple in 1STS. w lien he described thrill as tl.e
striiKUliug miissi s who produced the
wealth and who paid the taxes of the co'iii
try. Jle did not praise thein too highly.
The struggling masses not only produce
the wealth and pay the taxes in time of
peace, but the struggling musses hav
ever been and must ever be Hie tuition's
sun sf protection In time of peril. The
speaker then look from his pocket the
coi.v of un address by Abiuhum Lincoln-
delivered In congress, lrom which n
quoted certain puiuiiiiiphs, one of whi -li

UK Qt'DTES SOLOMON.
Mr. Iiryan followed with a quotation
from Solomon and continued:. ."Solomon
favored neither poverty nor riches. We
regarded that condition best which Is not
at either extreme, but lies between the
extremes, neither great riches nor abjc ;

necessary to had one on to the greatest
achievements, and those who possess too
great wealth, lose the necessity tor labor

to the development of that which Is best
In human nature. Solomon was right.
therfore, when he praised this Intermediate
condition for the great middle clashes are
the bulwark of society and from the mid
dle classes have come almost nil the good
that has come to bless the human race.
Let me rail your uttentlon to the fact
that when the meek and lowly Nazarei.o
came among men and preached peace on
earth and good will towards men he was
not welcomed by those who are described
as people who devour widows' houses and
under pretenses mado long prayers, but
when he gave that greut commandment
"love thy nelghhor as thyself" who lis
tened to him? The Scripture tells us it
was the common people who listened tn
his commandments and who Welcomed
him, it Is the greatest compliment ever
paid to the master. The Scriptures say
the common people heard him gladly and
the common people are the only people
who have ever heard gladly any mup vho
preached humanity and equal rights.

not taken ur the Hardsley matter and
said he would not be In a hurry to do
so. The board of pardons has had
three years to consider the case and he

appointed by him. He has a letter
from Jr. Charles K. Mills and Kdward

un examination of Hardsley on the 19th.
