fresh from campaigning with Bryan.
spoke to one of the most enthusiastic au-
diences OF the campaign tonight The
meeting was held in the courthouse, and
had been but little advertised, yet In
spite Of the storm and the rush of Satur-
day night business, a hall full was pres
ent.
Lorin Farr was chairman.
William H. O'Brien and John n.
Perkins spoke briefly, and the glee club
made some great hits.
MI Evans was given a great round of
cheering when he arose, and time and
again was interrupted by cheers and ap-
piause. Referring to the chances for
Bryan's election, Mr.. Evans said:
There is no man who can safely pre-
dict the result There has been such an
upheaval that all the experience of the
past is set at naught We know that
mighty forces are at work against our
young leader. The wealth of America
and of Europe are against US. But 1
firmly believe we shall win"
THE SITUATION.
Mr.. Evans then stated the situation
squarely, figuring the solid west and
assurance that Illinois. Indiana. Mime
sofa and Michigan would go for silver.
or at least one of them, which
would elect Bryan He arraigned the Re-
publicans of the east for asserting that
religion, law and morality were on the
side of gold, when amongst its main
champions were IngersolI, Herr Most and
William G. Breckenridge. Ingersoll he
characterized as the greatest repudiator
Of the age. First, he had repud:ated
Moses and the prophets. then the re-
deemer OF the world, and later the money
CT the people, the silver dollar. stamped
with the motto In God we Trust"
With the gold standard in force, the
people OF this country are like the boy
not tell where he was going, but answered
as ne went by hitting only the hign
places. L don't know, ask the bull Ac-
cording' to Republican lights we don't
know where we are going, ask John
Bull daughter and applause.)
Mr.. Evans emphatically repudiated the
idea that this nation cannot adopt a tinan-
cial system without asking the queen of
England, or the money KINKS of England
Germany. France. The Latin union and
the United States have ali maintained ST..
Yer at parity with gold in times past.
Why can't we do it now? (Cheers.) The
Republicans even admit that it is what
we ought 10 have. Must we wait five,
ten or fifteen years till they are ready to
do it?
1.-THE people of the east feel kindly to-
ward the west. Their orators Of the east
say that free coinage would give employ
ment to 1o0G,O00 in the west who would
put money in circulation to buy the
east. (Applause.) They are waking up to
the importance of the question.
Gold is always coward.y, both in war
and peace. In every crisis it hides. ]
have challenged audiences to search
pockets and take out a piece of paper
money that represented gold. They have
gold. (Applause.) Silver is the money of
the people. 1t is what is put in the con-
tribution boxes to build churches and to
build hospitals. It relieves the distress
aims. Always silver is the money of
mercy. I feel so deeply on this subject
that I verify believe that if the ReDub-
leans win this campaign. this nation will
have lost the high place it should hold
among the nations of earth.
HANNA'S CRAWLING.
MARK Hanna mounted to the high po-
sition he now holds as the serpent
reached the eagles nest-he crawled up.
He rescued Mckinley from bankruptcy
and set about to make him his tool he

to make money-nothing more 1t seems
to me that our young Nebraskan was
providentially nominated. l am not a

controlling in this contest. (Cheering-)
Bryan is one of the greatest political
proselyters the world has even seen
theories tear off the Mckinley button
and replace it with Bryan button when
they heard him. (Cheers) He will be
elected 1 feel sure he will be elected.
and if not this year still William ]. Bryan

prolonged cheering.)
LOCAL SITUATION.
OF the local situation SIR. Evans said:
Il cannot see why every man running
on the Democratic ticket is not entitled
to the same confidence as the great
leader All honor TO the silver Repubii-
cans. but this is a burning question-this
i7 the fight of the age. 1 regret that we
did not unite on local questions. as We
have on national ones. 1 would rather
die freeman than live slave. Whether
be political or financial. 1 want
none of it." (Cheers)
The meeting closed with cheers
for Evans, King and Bryan. ana
the crowds under awnings, waiting
for conve--ances to take them home
through the rain, were cheering for them.
