Tho Democratic Leader Addresses Mon
ster Meeting at Huntington, Where II
House Had Been Torn Down to Make
Room for the Crowd.
CINCINNATI, Oct 3.-William j. Bryan
arrived in this city last night, and ad-
dressed three meetings hero. Then he
crossed to the Kentucky sido and spoke to
great assemblage ut Covington. 1t was
fitting close to most eventful day.
From dawn to dusk the nominee sped
across West Virginia from Charleston to
the Ohio river, stopping and speaking at
almost every town of consequence, and
then along tho Kentucky banks to this
city.
On arriving here he was met by a local
committee and driven to the Gibson
House, where he ate light supper. AL
most Immediately afterwardsa n procession
was formed to Music Hall, where the first
and biggest meeting of the night was
held. At the conclusion of his speech
there he addressed two other successive
meetings from stands erected ut street cor
ners to crafty the thousands who could
not gain entrance to the hall.
At CoyingtOn the vast hall was so
thickly packed with people that it was
next to impossible to move. Even the
aisles were clogged with standing men
and women. In the beginning was
started what looked like an uttompt to
break up the meeting, but it was quickly
suppressed, and thereafter the candidates
utterances were greeted with the utmost
Il li.,tt ri, ,Nus pr
by gang of roughs in the gallery.
Mr.. Bryan left this city for ST. Louis at
$3.50 this morning
Mr. Bryan's reception at Huntington
was most enthusiastic Huntington had
openly boa5ted that it would give tho
Democratic nominee the largest crowd OF
any city in West Virginia, and whether 1t
kept its promise or not it certainly did
turn out Il great crowd. Tho excursion
trains from points in Kentucky, Ohio and
West Virginia helped to augment the
crowd, and many came from outlying dis
tricts by wagon and on horseback. An
old house in large lot had been torn
down in order to give the nominee
chance to speak near the ccntor of the
city. From platform erected mt this
place he spoke after being introduced by
Hon. j. FL Holt, candidate for judge of
appeals, saying;
During his speech to the assemblage at
Huntington. Mr.. Bryan said;
1--WE have two policies presented, or
rather we have one class of people propos-
Ing remedial legislation and another class
who oppose that legislation and propose
nothing The advocates of free coinage
tell you what they want and how they ex-
pect to get it. The opponents of frea coin
age propose nothing, advocate nothing,
czacpt that they do not allow the other
people to do what they want to do Our
opponents ars well called opponents, be-
cause they simply oppose everything
''You cannot find any clubs among the
Republicans which are called gold stand-
arl clubs. What do you find? Sound
money clubs. Now why do they use
sound money instead of goldS Because
they dare not tell the people what they
mean by thu term. They are using these
words to deceive Everybody wants sound
money, but the question is what Is sound
money? will tell you what | understand
sound money to be- Sound money Is
money furnished in sufficient quantities
to form u safe basis for the business of
this country. There is something neccs-
sary besides quality in money. Money
may be good, splendid, but there may be
none Of it, 1t is Of money as it is of food.
You have to combine quality with
Quantity. You must combine quantity
and quality.
suppose that person tried to feed
himself on bread of the worry best quality
and vet not enough of it to sustain life.
SuppOse he tried to feed himself on meat
of the very highest quality, but so inSutil-
cent in quantity that he would die for
lack of nourishmont. Wouldyou call that
sound food? Not n BIT Of it. And yet our
opponents are trying to build up u tlnan-
cinl system on gold alone when they arc
not able to find the gold to furnish the
basis of their system. The gold standard
is of no advantage unless you can find
enough gold to furnish the standard
money. Our opponents have not furnished
that gold They cannot furnish 1t.
IAN over the world today the nations
are scrumblng to get all the gold there is
II the statistics furnished by the treasury
Gspartment arc correct there are only
81, UOO, 900 600 in the world, Buff the sta
tistics furnished by other nations in re-
gard to the supply of gold arc rs deceptive
as tho statistics furnished in regard to
this nations supply Of gold, instead of
there being four billions Of gold in the
world there are not three billions, In or
der to make up the four billions they give
this nation more than $j0O, 100000. 1t is
not here. The treasury statistics say 1t is
but if you attempt to find it you find that
there is some in the vaults at Washing
ton, some in the national and state banks,
and then when you have added this store
of gold all together, you have little more
than half Of the estimated amount of gold
in this country and you ask them where
is the rest of their gold. They tell you
that that is what is known us theinvisible
supply of gold. When they talk about
tha invisible sapply of gold they talk
about the supply which cannot be seen,
because invisible means not to be seen,
and will tell you that this invisible sup
ply of gold is getting to be more and more
invisible every day.
"My friends, if the banks want to go
into politics let them beware of the re-
sults that may follow political banking
II they train to be business men, and run
their business on business principles they
must not come into tho field of politics

the great corporations, trusts, syndicates
and combinations Of wealth are against
us, but remember that they were against
Andrew jackson In tho same fight that
we are making today. They were power

the people, but whom the time cnme to

human history he found but one parallel
to jackson That was when Cicero over.
