TALKS OF BOLTERs

North Vernon, Ind, Oct. 3-NVm- J.
Bryan's arrival in Indiana and Illinois
called forth the same hard work that
has characterized each visit he has
made to what is considered by many
the battle ground of the campaign
Fourteen stops were scheduled for
these two states and ne spoke at nearly
every one of them. and where it was
impossible for him to speak he again
pressed into service Congressman Nc
Millin, who talked to the people for the
nominee Mr. Bryan left Cincinnati on
the special car of President Peabody of
the B. q O. at o'clock this morning
The car was in charge OF Railway and
Warehouse Commissioner Cautrell of
mitteeman OF Indiana and National
Committeeman WoOdson OF Kentucky
Lawrenceburg was reached at I.30 a.
m, and the platform erected near the
depot was surrounded by a great crowd
of eXpectant and enthusiastic people.
They cheered the nominee as he made
lie said
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men--This is commencing the days
work pretty early but we have to make
up i'm public speaking and ia hard work
what We lack in daily newspapers and
campaign funds for the circulation of
literature. Therefore, we have to get UP
earlier than our opponents, and be-
live the most of us are better acQuaint-
ed with getting UP early than they.
anyhow AS came upon the stand I
met a gentleman who said he had been
a Republican, but he was going to vote
for silver this year. That has gotten to
be quite common phrase I do not
go into any community without find
ing that there viii be Republicans there
who have b0asted of their fidelity to the
Republican party from the time of Ere
mont or Lincoln until this year. But
this year it is different There is a rea-
"a
son why men who have hoped that the
Republican party would obtain relief
from present financial conditions, there
is a reason why these men this year
have to look elsewhere for remedial leg
islatiOn.
"The Republican party has been hold
has been declared 1aat the American
people. from tradition and interest, de-
sired bimetallism. But this year the
Republican party says that while the
American people may desire it, they
cannot have it until other nations bring
ii 10 them. (ApplaUse) That-45 the
new doctrine I want you to remember
that it is the ffirst time JAY the history
of this country that arF great party
ever proposed that ting 1gislati0n of
this country should be dependent upon
the viii Of people ia foreign countries.
(Appl8use)
The platform of the Republican par
ty SAYS this year thGt bimetalism is
desira Bile because it pledges the party
to get it as soon as it can get other ma
tions TO help us. Tit tells us that the
American people cannot have shat de-
sira bla thing. 4 am not willing to be-
have that the American people are go-
ing to- accept the financial system rea-
dy made from abroad. our opponents
tell us that the tariff issue IS the great
issue Until they put a prohibitOry tar
iff on foreign financial policies, they can
not talk tariff to me. Great apulause)
