eHSever since tho days of Barnums Dig
Hhow with Jumbo were there so many
HSople on the streets as when Bryan passed
III the Capitol Hotel. lie bowed contlhu-
1wusly on both sides and the Democrat,
Popocrat, Single taxcr and nopubllcan
were all treated the same, for bryan was
gmiling as he passed under the HoHecker
Mud Willis banner Which noats across
LtQkerlnan street,
IN the afternoon there were about S,ooo
persons at the fair grounds when he de-
Sivered his address and he disappointed his
Vanguine followers because he read too
much from Bismarck and did not explain
enough about the money question. us
1eerned to have special hatred for trusts
and would impress farmer that there
was no Issue but that Of the agricultural.
One farmer stated to REPUBLlCAN re-
porter that when ho gets 60 cents now f6r
bushel Of wheat 1t pays only W cents ot
2sht whereas If FREQ silver ooines o) cehts
Viii pay ST. 20 of debt. There was lax
81 enthusiasm about the whole affair. In
the course Of his speech Mr. Bryan stated
the reason why he came to Delaware was
that when the roll was called In Chicago
Delaware was the FIRST TO cast vote Tor
him and free silver
After quoting from speech of Mc!iin-
10y Oh last Saturday and from letter OF
Blsmark to the Governor OF Texas on bl'
tnetallsm and why the farmers OF Gcr-
many arc not as free as those Oh the
United States he said
"My friends, divide society into two
classes; on the ono sido put tho non pro-
Aucers and on the other side put Ihe pro
ducers Of wealth. and you VIII ma that
In this country the majority oil tho laws
are made by tho uon producers Instead OF
the producers of wealth, and Just rs long
ks tho non producers make the laws. JUST
30 long 1t will bc more profitable to De u
non producer Of wealth.
DEoNEs IN LEGISLATIVE HALLS.
Bismarck tried TO arouse tho farmers OF
Germany to throw out these drOncs and
take charge OF legislation themselves. l
suppose they will c.ll Bismarck an agita-
Tor. daughter and nGplause) suppose
they will say that he ought not
to array one class of society against an
other OF course, don't know how dro.
nes feel in a beehive. but il drones could
talk and make speeches will bet that you
could not tell one of their speeches from
the speeches made by tho heads OF those
WIN call every body Anarchists who do
not believe with them (Applauso)
will venture that if IA drone could talk
and write and express his ideas In langu-
age there is not member OF u syndicate
that has been beating this government
but who could take the dr0nc's speech anu
use il as his own, and without being ac-
cusoh of plagiarism (iroat app4usc).
NV friends, that is the only class Issue
that VIC raise, AMI il to say tho people
