At Seymour the Candidate Quotes from
Message of President Harrison in sup
port of His Argument for Expansion of

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 7-Thc reception
accorded William J. Bryaa on his arrival
in indianapolis yesterday was nearly as
great as any he has received during his en-
tire trip He made five speeches here, two
in the afternoon and three at night, and
at each meeting ne addressed immense
audiences, one of which was nearly ~
large rs that addressed by him on Boston
Common, the largest of the campaign.
The Bryan party was received at the sta
ton with great enthusiasm from many
thousands gathered about the station,
He was taken Immediately to the Grand
hotel, and the parade from the depot to
the hotel was u continuous ovation to the
candidate, the principal thoroughfares be-
ing so crowded that the sidewalks were
roped off in order to keep the crowds from
pressing upon the carriages.
After dinner Mr.. Bryan addressed the
largest crowd of the day at the state house.
Every inch of available standing and
climbing room was taken, The park in
front of the state house was packed with
humanity, the streets on either side were
crowded, and people We're gathered in the
windows of the buildings across the street
in order to see the candidate, even if they
could not hear him. Probably less than
one-fourth of the audience heard his
speech, but those who We're able to get
within the sound of his voice were en-
thusiastic to II great degree. 1t would be
an impossibility to estimate the crowd, 50
great was it.
After the nominee had concluded his re-
marks at the state h ouse he was taken to
| Tomlinson Hall, where he spoke to rs
| many people as could be gotten into the
/ hall ana in front of the balcony where he
/ stood. This meeting was also enthusiastic,
and often during his speech the candidate
was stopped by the demonstrations of APP
/ plause. Last night he spoke to three
more audiences, one to the Commercial
| Travellers association in the Grand hotel,
one from a platform outside the court
! house and one in Tomlinson hall.
Mr. Bryan sppkcat all towns whore the
train stopped while passing through lndi-
ana, and at Jeffcrsonville, Seymour, Mar
ion and Columbus, he spoke at length
being received by enormous crowds. Dur
ing his speech mt Seymour Mr.. Bryan
quoted ex-Presidcnt Harrison, rs follows
Il want to call your attention here in
Indiana to portion of that message sent
to congress by Mr. Harrison when he was
president in 1890 Let me read you what
he said about the effect of the legislation
on silver You will remember that this
was just after the passage of the sherman
law, 1t was signed by President Harrison,
and after its passage the price of silver
rose to SLIP an ounce On the first OF
December of that year President Harrison
sent his message to congress, and in the
message you will find the following words
The enlargement of our currency by
the silver bill undoubtedly gave an up
ward tendency to trade, and had a marked
effect on prices, but this natural and de
sirablc effect of the silver legislation was
by many enormously attributed to the
tariff account.
