At Dunkirk, where Mr.. Bryan talked
again, being introduced by Chairman
Durbin, chairman of the state central
Democratic committee, he spoke as fol-
lows:
Ladies and gentlemen: I am very
glad to meet you this morning; am
glad to notice the interest which you
are taking in this campaign. In my
judgment, it is
THE MOST IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN
that the people of this country have
been called upon to engage in for many
years, and all L can ask of you is, that
you each study this money question for
yourself, and when you have made up
your mind what is right, then Go what
you think best
Great cheering followed this speech.
Bucyrus, O., gave a hearty welcome
to Mr.. Bryan. The crowd did not num-
Der more than 500, but had plenty of
enthusiasm and gave it to him without
stint. Republicans with vigorous
lungs tried to get up counter
demonstration in favor of Mckinley,

Ladies and Gentlemen: l am very
much obliged to you for this very cor
dial greeting, and l want to thank one
of the pioneers for having SoWn years

Crestline. the next stop, was
reached at 1890. Bryan's car was
switched to the rear end Of the train,
and the difficulty of allowing the crowd
to see and hear him without danger
of being pressed under the wheels was
obviated. Crestline's welcome was
noisy. Under the escort of P. w.
Poole, Mr.. Bryan was conveyed to
temporary platform near the station.
Mr.. Poole introduced him and ne spoke
as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: would not
be surprised to find such an audience
as this in Nebraska, but l can hardly
realize that such an audience as this
assembled in the state which has the
honor to contain the residence of my
opponent. daughter and cheerS.)

Il thank you for this opportunity
of greeting SO many OF your people.
am gratified ait the interest which
you are taking in this campaign. L
want you TO realize that in this con-
test we have an issue which appeals
to every man, woman and child in the
land. Aye, more than that; upon the
decision Of the United States may
turn the financial policy of the world.
Not only in America, but all over the
world, the toiling masses are looking
for relief to that nation which ought
to stand foremost in every great re-
form. We have an opportunity which
comes to few generations, but that OPP
poreunity brings with It its response
bilities. The policy advocated by our
is continuation Of the
gold standard policy, which they dare
not defend; the continuation of this
policy, until some of the foreign ma
tons will help us to help ourselves.
(Cneers and laugbter). If the gold
standard is a good thing, I ask you
why did not the Republican party at
St. Louis declare that the gold stand
ard should be maintained permanent /
y? And if the gold standard is bad
thing, why was it SO cowardly as to
say to the American people, You
should submit to a bad thing until
foreign people, potentates and powers
COME TO THE RELIEF
Of a suffering people, (Cheers). Put
these two questions to our opponents,
and you drive them from the battle !
field. The first is, if the gold stand
ard is good, why not keep it? And if /
bad, why should we keep lit for !,
single moment? (Great cheering). 1 |
hank you for your attention.

Bryan made a few remarks in a husky |
voice, which told of the strain of the |
past few days.
Ladies and gentlemen-It gives me !
/ great deal of pleasure to greet the +
people who hive in the town of my old /
friend, Judge Hare. l knew him in i
congress, and l am glad to see the
people who honored themselves by his

An elderly man jumped ON the steps
beside Mr.. Bryan, and shouted that
lie was afraid the country would be-
eome flooded with silver if the Demo-
ratio ticket was elected. He was
leard by the crowd, and Mr.. Bryan
urned to his audience and said: IF
my of you are afraid of a flood of
money 1 want you to vote for the
