State In the Union richer in public speakers;
so DO not come because il is not necessary,
but simply to see the people who are so enthu-
siastleally supporting our ticket Let me call
your attention to one characteristic of this
Campaign. / have said you are rich in public
speakers but DO you know in a campaign like
this no community is poor because in syery
community can be found public speakers.
In times OF quiet very often the machinery
OF the party takes charge of things, but in
times ike these the people themselves rise up,
and II the machine does not do what it ought
then they have the remnants of q machine
scattered all over the State. [Applause.l The
machinery OF party is used TO advance the
principles and interests of those for whom the
party speaks. You are fortunate in this State
that the machinery has been acting in har-
mony with the people of thk State, but in
States where 1t has not done so they are find
ing the people are greater than any machine.
[Applause.l They tell us the silver craze is
dying out-that IL is a lunacy.
If so the Iunacy is Speeding so rapidly that
by election time there will not be goldbugs
enough leIl 70 turn1sn guards IN the insane
asylums for all these silver lunaties- [Great
laughter.l Some of those who q few months
were calling the advocates of free coinage
lunatics are to-day the most enthusiastic ad-
yocates OF free coinage we have, and they are
grateful to those who saw the conditions be-
fore they did lapplausel and the new converts
are among the most zealous supporters we
have.
