BURLINGTON. Iowa, Oct. S.-Candi-
date Bryan arrived at Burlington at
5:55 this morning in private car, the
name Of which, Idler, is in striking
contrast with his campaign record. A
local reception committee of 200, head
ed by S. X. Lacy, waited in the depot
from $50 to $3.50. when Mr.. Bryan arose.
He was taken for breakfast to the resi-
dence of John ]. Seerley, colleague of
Mr.. Bryan's in congress. A reception
was held at $3.50 o'clock at the court
house. At 10 o'clock the sprocession
started to Crapo park, where the colise-
UNI is located. The parade was an i'm
posing one Behind the carriage in
which the nominee was seated followed
an escort of women on horseback, cav
airy and eleven bands. including the
Iowa state band, sandwiched in between
the various silver marching clubs.
At II o'clock the first speech of the day
was made in the gigantic coliseum
erected for the semi of Iowa's
admission to the United States. The
crowd filling the building was enthusi-
astic to a great degree.
At the coliseum there were Republi-
cans present who did not hesitate to
applaud, and one more daring than the
rest who cheered for Mckinley. Mr..
Bryan said he was glad they were there.
as he wished to talk to those who IA
vored his opponent.
After being introduced by ex-COn-
gressman S. E.sErley, Mr.. Bryan began
by speaking of the Importance of the
questions to be decided at the polls
this year. He continued:
Our platform has driven from us some
who acted with us in the past We
might have been able to keep those men
with us had we been willing that the
Democratic party should be MAKE the
instruments of plutocrats to overthrow
the government. (Applause) In their
place we expect to find men who are
willing to act with US at this time in
order to make this government worthy
of the love of those who live beneath
the flag, and come today to submit
for your consideration some reason0
why the Republicans should join with
us upon the platform we have adopted.
The Pepulists have already Joined
us. will say Joined with us. They may
say that we have Joined with them, but
I care not how you express it, so we are
together now. (Great applause)
There is this difference between Re-
publicans who come to us and Demo-
Gratis who go from us. The Democrats
who go from us must repudiate the his
tory of the Democratic party and aban-
don that which has been Democratic
from the time when Jefferson organized
the Democratic party. (Applause.)
The Republicans who come to us have
simply to stand by that which the Re-
publican party used to advocate, and
which in this campaign it has aban-
doned. (Great applause and a voice,
"Hurrah for McKinley!" Applause and
hisses.)
Mr.. Bryan-My friends, L beg you to re-
frain from any manifestation of dis
pleasure. am glad a man here is in
favor of my opponent. I only hope that
there are many such, because 1t is to
such persons that desire to address my
remarks. (Cheering.) My friend has
declared his preference for Mr.. McKin-
ley. want to ask him whether he is for
the Mckinley of 1890 or the Mckinley
Of 1896. cloud cheering.)
Will my friend favor the Mckinley
Of 1890. who wanted more money. or the
Mckinley of 1896? (Great applause and
cries Of '1S90.") Mr.. Mckinley said in
1891 in a speech made at Toledo, OK that
Mr.. Cleveland had been discriminating
against silver. had been trying to degrade
1t, had been trying to contract the cur
rency and that by lessening the currency
he made money dearer by making 1t
scarcer. and making money the master
and all things else the servab.s. If it
was wrong for Mr.. Cleveland to make
money dear by making 1t scarce and
money the master and all things else the
servants. Is 1t right for Mr.. Mckinley
to try and make money the master and
all things else the servants? applause
and cries of "No.")
My friends, we can support our cause
by appealing to Republican testimony.
We can support every contention we
make by quoting Republican authorities
and therefore Republicans who come to
us In this campaign do not change their
convictions; they simply change their
party name, when their party has aban-
doned the position 1t used to occupy and
now demands that you shall surrender
the convictions of q lifetime. (Great
applause and cheering)
Somebody may feel like cheering for
ex-President Harrison. II 30. will
