Rochester, Aug as-The Bryan party
: left Syracuse at $3.50 and reached Roches-
ter at 2:l5. The only stop was az Lyons,
where a crowd of 30, reinforced by a
band. demanded a Bryan speech. and Bry-
an responded. The greatest crowd or the
trip surrounded the Rochester depot and
followed the party 10 Brown square. There
a platform. fag-draped, stood on pic
turesque spot under trees. Several thou
sand people were gathered in grove. a
large sprinkling of ladies' with bright
coiored dresses and parasols giving color
10 the scene. On the four sides OF the
square were solid lines OF carts and car
riages crowded with people. The area
OF humanity stretched back OF the plat
form so far that more than hail Oh the
would-be listeners secured only view or
the speech in pantomiue, and on the out
skirts hundreds were coming and going.
so proba bly, 25.00o had a sight OF the man
of the day, though not more than fourth
Of them could hear him. Bryan was pre-
scented by ex-Secretary of State Frederick
Cook. He spoke as follows:
"It will not be possible for me 70 occu-
by any great portion of your time. Inc
train which carries me from you VIII De

We believe that no question has arisen;
that no question is before them now. and
that no question ever will arise which is
too great 10 be submitted TO the common
people of America. Great applause)
Whenever I find a man who says the
money question is a complicated question,
] generally find a man who thinks he has
made d speciality of complicated ques-
tons Q4aughter.) Whenever | find
man who thinks the money question TOO
deep for others. l generally find man
who thinks il is just about deep enough
for him. Whenever | find man who tets
you not 10 bother about financial legisla-
lion. l find a man who wants 10 take up
on himself all the suffering and do your
thinking and your acting for you. But
when l find such a man. | am afraid
find nan who. when he acts for you,
will be sure he does not neglect himself.
Great iaughter.) There is one thing that

other nation on earth. you find man
be good for himself and believes II 10
be good for others also. l like tina, sort OF
candor Ask the farmer why he wants bi-
rnetall.sm and he says, Because 1t $

man why he wants b-metaillsm.
and he SAYS he thinks II 20 be
good for him. Ask the business man Why
he likes bi-metaiism, and ne says:
make my living out of those 10 whom
sell. not ont OF those from whom Dor
row: therefore bf-fnetallism IS good for me,
because IL enables the people TO buy what
I have 10 SELL You ask the professional
man why he favors bi-metallism, and ne
tells Won II is because his business rests
on he producers of wealth, and he cannot
rrosper unless the producers prosper, out
Won ask the fnancier why he is in favor

that U.aughter.) If You ask these man
ciers why they want the gold standard
some OF them viii tell you free coinage

You tell them these people are willing 20
risk t,i-rnetallism. and these financiers rise

the people must have the gold standard,
ard they ram the gold standard down the
throats Of the people whether they want
