Frankfort, KY, September. 15.-The
pilgrimage of the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency was continued
through Kentucky at 1925 o'clock this
morning. The same special car used
yesterday was taken by the party and
on board. managing the tour was Urey
WOodson, National Committeeman from
this State. On board the train were re-
ception committees from Emlnence and
Frankfort and at every place other COM
mittees came on board TO welcome the
nominee 10 their towns. There were
short stops made at Anchorage, Boards
and PeWee Valley, where the candidate
shook hands with those gathered about
the trains. The first speech made from
the platform CT the car was at La
Grange. and in it Mr.. Bryan asked the
people to take the interest in the CAM
paign which its importance justified.
This campaign, he said, was of the great
est importance to this country and he
paramount ISSUE the money question
deserved the Geep study of everyone. He
told the people he was glad
10 mee1 the Kentuckians and
that his reception everywhere
had ben most cordial, but he found out
that mis- visit was unnecessary, as the sill
yer sentiment predominated before his
coming He was cheered and applaud
ed wildly by the 700 people present At
ter leaving La Grange Engineer Ben
Schultz, of the Louisville and Nashville
train. 10 which the car was attached,
gave Mr.. Bryan one of the fastest rides
he has had on his entire campaign, send
ing his train along at a trifle over sixty
miles an hour.
At Eminence il had started to rain, but
/ 900 of the citizens Of Henry county had
nocked about Il little speakers stand, TO
which Mr.. Bryan was taken. Here he
gave a ten minute speech. devoting him
self for the greater part to answering
the statement made by his opponents that
in consequence of the much greater pro-
duction of silver than of gold, the white
metal had deprecated I'm value. He admit
ted that the production of silver had been
three times as great in the last twenty
years. but ne said that in the last five
years the production of gold had increased
more rapidly than the production of sill
yer and that the gold price of silver bull
lion had fallen more than any other
time. He said that the price of silver was
affected by the law of supply and demand
and that when the United States repealed
the Sherman law and slipped the purchase
of ffty-four million ounces Of silver per
year. it had decreased the price of silver,
because IL lessened the demand for it.
In his speech at Frankfort Mr. Bryan
emphasized his statement of last night
that those who did not believe in the free
coinage of silver. Democrats or Republ
cans. should vote the straight Republican
ticket. The rain was falling IN torrents
when the train pulled into frankfort and
Mr. Bryan was conducted to the platform
in the Court House square under umbrel-
las which were knocked aside every min
ute by the efforts of his Southern admir-
ers to grasp him by the hand. During his
speech of Is minutes the rain continued to
pour down. but his audience of 1,SOO people
stood i'm the wet and yelled for him to so
on.
Mr.. Bryan retired Immediately after
his third speech last night and would see
no one. As a consequence he got a good
nights rest and left this morning very
much refreshed Before leaving he eX-
pressed himself as highly pleased with his
Louisville reception.
