his return from fishing trip last night.
Mr.. Bryan gave out prepared answer
to the allegations made by Senator
Thurston that Mr.. Bryan was in the pay
of mine owners. Mr.. Bryan's state-
ment follows:
81 have already denied this charge on
several occasions, but the reiteration OF
1t by Senator Thurston justifies me in
answering it again. l have never at any
time, or under any circumstances, been
in the employ of any mine owners, in
dividually or collectively directly or in
directly, nor have / ever been in the en-
ploy or paid by any metallic league as
ISOLATION. Aside from editorial salary,
of about $3.50 per month, paid by the
Omaha World Herald, and small
amount derived from the legal profess
sion, my income since my retirement
from congress has been derived entirely
from lectures before Chautauqua lyce-
ums and lecture bureaus, which have
usually paid me a fixed sum, and from
contributions made by the people of the
localities where 1 have spoken. In some
instances l have received nothing at all.
In most cases | have received more than
enough to pay travelling expenses. In
only two instances, think. has my COM
pensatio exceeded 500, and in these in
stances it was about $500 at one place
and about $500 at the other.
THE first platform on which l ran for
congress, in 1890, before | was known
politically outside of my state, con-
tanned a free coinage plank, and my
Republican opponent that year was an
advocate of free coinage. In the CAM
paign Of 1892 l again ran on free coin
age platform. In 1894 | again ran on
free coinage platform, and my opponent
for the senate Mr.. Thurston, while op
posing unlimited coinage at is to l, in
sisted that he favored bimetallism.
wrote the free coinage plank on which
ran in 1890, and the free coinage planks
in the Nebraska state platforms in 1891,
1892 and 1896, and tried to secure the
adoption of free coinage planks in the
state platform in 1892 and 1898. / only
mention this to show that my advocacy
of free silver is not of recent date. Hav-
ing made this answer to Mr.. Thurston's
letter, | shall hereafter take no notice
of individual or newspaper comment on
this subject. If the Republican national
committee will say officially that have
ever been employed to deliver speeches
by any mine owner, a group of mine
owners, or by any association supported
by mine owners, am ready to make
statement showing in detail all money
received by me for speechmaking."
