is man who respects party regularity he
cannot complain of the manner of my nom-

met at Chicago represented the voters of
the democratic party more truly. more com

BRYAN BRINGS GOLD IN.
The nominee then entered into a compari
son of the republican and democratic plat
form on the line of many OF his previoup
utterances He insisted that the issue was
clear cut and that the honest voter must
decide between the democratic and the re-
publican ticket. The nominee added:
"They tell us that the election of tho
Chicago ticket will drive gold from
this country. ! want you to remember that |
the mere nomination of candidate for |
president on free silver platform has been |
bringing gold to this country for the past |
few weeks. Great applause, My friends
II nomination will start such a flow of |
gold to the United States, what will be |
the enormous flow when we actually have a |
president who is for free silver? CAppause) !
MY friepds, our. enemies tell us that il |
we have the free coinage of silver that |
foreign nations would get our gold | want |
to say to YOU that the moment this nation |
opens its niints to the free coinage of sill |
yer, the ctedit6r nations of Europe will |
have to join us in the maintenance of the
value of silver lat a parity with gold in
stead of conspifing to force down that sill
