 T had no idea, gentlemen" said he, ''of making a speech. The resolutions 1 just presented contain my views OH l this subject as tersely and forciby as they could be expressed III words. believe that the people of the country will digest this great question before the next national election and find tho fallacies of the arguments of the gen tlemen on the other side.
 Tn this campaign of education the bloated pIutoerats will find that they are the pupils and we are the teachers, i instead of they being the teachers and We the pupils, as they claim. There never has been q time in the history of the world when the nations were as much interested in a question as they are in this one. Hard times do not exist in America along.

 He insisted that the silver question was the most important one before the l public, and that free coinage must be l carried, whether within party lines or not, but he asked no one to leave his party. He said that he had no doubt that Sherman and Cleveland would vote the same ticket next year.
 Wm. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, the next speaker, in the course of his remarks, l said
 "Populists will not envy you repub- l lieans when you follow the famous motto of your martyred president, l Government of the people, for the peo- pie and by the people, and win vic tories for truth.
 They will not envy you democrats any victories won for truth, if you fol- 1 low the rules laid down by Jefferson and Jackson. Republicans and demo- crats will not envy you populists, who are made up of the two mother parties, and honor alike Lincoln, Jefferson and Jackson, if you win victories for truth"
