Mich, and he was introduced two years
ago at lonia by Mr.. Mckinley as the only
survivor OF the sixteen who met and
suggested the name Of republican party
on the 9Th of July, 1851, under the oaks at
jackson. He must be an anarchist because
he Is with us this year. My friends he is
one of the many men who have found It
necessary TO either get ont of the repub-
lican party or surrender their country into
the hands of foreigners, and he has
naturally chosen to get out Of the party,
ana yet, my friends the campaign of Cdu-

hour and a half had been arranged for AT
Jackson, but the train was late reaching
there and the allowance had to be slightly
curtailed. Mr.. Bryan found time however
to address two meetings. When the carriage
conveying the nominee got within two blocks
of the stand where he was to address his
first audience. ii was stepped by the dense
crowd which surged back and forth about
the vehicle. The enthusiasm was so great
that II was dangerous. as II threatened TO
key the admirers OF the triple candidate I'M
TO such a pitch that they would not respect
his personal safety. The police were power
less in their effort to control the mob and II
was impossible for the candidate to reach
the speakers stand. He climbed to the driv-
er's stand and was there introduced by
Thomas Il. Barkworth the candidate for con
gress in that district. 1t was many minutes.
however, before Mr.. Bryan could proceed
with his address and he was often inter
ruDted by the demonstrative evidences of the
affection OF the crowd There was nothing
new in his speech and Mr.. Bryan afterwards
remarked that the worry incident to the
great crush completely upset him. There
was but five minutes left for Mr. Bryan to

the driver had succeeded in eXtricating the
carriage from the crowd When he arrived
at the place of speaking he found a repet-

he recognized the right Of each citizen to
act for himself politically, and he addressed
The public that II might act with greater in
telliSenCe by understanding the arguments
which he advanced. He said that the sill

ployes of the corporations to vote as they
pleased while the great republican leaders
are seeking to have the managers OF corpo-
rations coerce and bulldoze their employees
into voting the republican ticket.
