Redoubled enthusiasm was caused whon a big banner bearing Bryan's picture was taken to the platform. These act3 to Induce the crowd to keep up the cheering were really not needed, however. Old and young men and women gave fervent to their feelings and rein to tho voices. The crowded galleries Joined In the oheering and pandemonium reigned supreme. Carried away by tho excitement women clambered In to their chairs and waved hats and handkerchiefs. Some even went to far as to grab the hats from the hands of their men friends and Join ed in the mad walk around the hall. Tho contrast in the character of tho demonstration with that at Chicago three weeks aeo was marked. There the enthus'asm was confined largely to tho galleries.

Aside from tho fact thnt tho com munlcntion was neither signed, nor contained nny evidence of its being official, tho chairman of tho commlt teo neither indicated tho Intention, purposo or plan of action, nor had he as much as hinted a probablo date whon his committee would consider this apparently much vexed question. "However, I turned ovor tho lot tor to Mr, Wm. S.

Thus, without ob taining any Information from nny of tho admitted toureds of supply, your commltteo, according to its own dec larations, and within a fraction ,ot one week, lnvotlgnted, established nnd ro-estnbllshod abouU ono , and one-half miles pf street grado, giv ing no hcnrlng to tho party upon nhom tho henvlest oxpon) In this transaction is to fall, nor wnlt for any information from any rource, nnd apparently rested its ratio upon the opinion of your city engineer, who, though hcrotoforo n Wrong and unqualified s.upportor of tho pres ent grndo as built by tho Oregon Electric Railway company, nil of n buddon exporioncod n ahnngo of heart and recommends a grado much lowor than the grado wo nro objaot ing to.
