Tonawanda. the scene of the great strike
three years ago, was reached just before
o'clock. In the crowd of 800 persons
gathered a the regular stopping place for
the electric cars workingmen predomi-
mated. Cheers were heartily given as Mr..
Bryan appeared on the rear platform. He
made a short address, speaking with con-
siderable effort to make himself heard.
An enthusiast in the crowd waving fold
ed newspaper cried out I'VE are lighting
the plutocraQy of gold"
Immediately responsive to the cry Mr..
Bryan said: "And in the fight no one will
be nearer to the enemies lines than the
one who carries the standard" (Cheers).

the Chicago platform when it was writ
ten and adopted by the democrats of the
west and south does not raise and section
al question 1t simply reasserts the de-
moracy first taught by Mr.. jefferson, and
afterwards defended by Andrew jackson,
and the democracy on which the demo-
critic party must always stand unless it
decides 60 abandon the principles which
have been its principles from the begn-
ming and TO substitute the plutocracy which
some have falsely called modern democ-
racy. (Applause) The Chicago platform
simply reiterates those fundamental prin-
ciples on which our form of government
must rest. The keynote of the Chicago
platform is found in the declaration of in
dependence that all men are created equal
and that therefore no class of men, no
class of citizens has a right to appropriate
10 Itself the blessings which the creator
intended Tor all the people of this coun-
Try. (Cheers). That laws shall not be
made so that the many shall toll and the
lew shall enjoy the fruits of the toll of
many CgoodD; that every man shall be
defended in the enjoyment of that which
ne earns and that no man shall be per-
mtted to acquire what somebody else
has earned, and which has been taken from
him by vicious legislation
Ihe reason they use abusive epithets
anu apply names to those who support
mdL platform is because they know that
the platform is a menace to the wrong
ooer' not the smaller wrong-doer only.
Ddl also to the larger transgressor who at
leihpts TO use government and its instru-
'leHtdIltleS to wrong others. (Applause J
do not think it is going to require \
great deal Of talk in this campaign. we
are not going to have any difficulty to
Hhd speakers. We can go out in any of the
agoleS' lhe machine shops, the farms or
among the men who work and find them;
men VINO know enough about the princi-
p'vS oI lhls government to be able to dis
1u9s the questions and apply to them
selves The great common people do not
Aeeo any particular class to tell them
"hat t9ey shall do. They can think for
themselves and 1 trust that when No.
Ne'HDer comes they will act for them
S'.es. (Great applause)
