me. III you can THINK as well OF me as you
have always thought OF him, and II you
can vote as strongly for me as you have
always voted for him, l shall have good
reason to remember my visit to Butler
county. (Cheers)
You call this the Gibraltar of democra-
cy. want TO say to you, my friends, that
in this campaign l stand for those poll
cies which are democratic IN the broadest
sense of that term. (Cheers.) l believe
in the democracy that means the rule OF
the people, and l am opposed to pluto
cracy that means the rule of few money
magnates and servility of all the rest of
the people, (Cheers) Our opponents pro-
pose nothing. You tell them that the peo-
pie are suffering and what do they tell
you? Why; they say that the trouble Is
agitation, and l never hear any one who
finds fault with the agitation of a public
question, without wondering how that
man can make up his mind to live in
country like this. They imagine that they
can stop agitation by simply commanding
1t to be stilled. There is agitation, and
it will continue until that foreign policy
Is taken out and sent from this country"
(Cheers)
Mr.. Bryan then proceeded to speak on
his well known line of argument. and end
ed his speech amid a tumult of applause
and cheers.
Xeuia, o., Oct. 19-Dayton gave Mr..
Bryan the most enthusiastic demonstra-
tion of the day. In fact, two greetings
were accorded him there The first was
not on the programme. In the run over
to Hamilton, the train passed through
Dayton, and a crowd of nearly, IL not
quite, 10000 surrounded it in the railway
station during its short wait there and
cheered the nominee for five minutes. On
the return to Dayton from Hamilton, the
principal exercises Of the day took place
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were conveyed to the
fair grounds two miles distant. People
filled the grand stand to it's utmost capae-
ity. and a tremendous crowd was drawn
up in front of and on every side OF the
platform from which Mr. Bryan spoke.
Mr.. Bryan had lost so much time at
Hamilton, and was so far behind his
schedule that he cut his speech short
He said in part: There Is not an argu-
ment that can be made against bimetal-
lism which has not been answered over
and over again, and yet in spite OF the
fact that every objection to bimetallism
has been met and repeled, our opponents
are appealing to every class of people and
trying to arise n selfish interest in favor
of the gold standard. One OF the last
appeals has been to the church societies,
and letters have been sent from the ma
tional republican committee to the vari-
Gus missionary societies. We go upon the
theory that the only permanent prosper
ity that can come to this country Is a
prosperity whose blessings begin with
the people who produce wealth and go to
all the other classes of society Our OF
ponents insist that you must legislate to
take care Of the financial magnates, be-
cause they have to be looked after. The
people can beg"
The delays at Hamilton and Dayton
had caused the Bryan train to lose much
nd la4E
ing at Xenia.
But the crowd which had been patiently
waiting all that time for Mr. Bryans APP
pearance did not decrease in number and
there were fully 6.O00 people to greet him
when his train halted beside the tempo
rary stand that had been erected for his
accommodation. In order to avoid further
delay, however MIR. Bryan spoke from the
rear platform Of his car. There were
some protests from those who had come
early to obtain points of vantage near
the stand only to find themselves farther
away from the candidates voice than the
late comers, but Mr.. Bryan put them in
good humor and made a speech Of five
minutes, which was frequently interrupt
ed by applause.
Five hundred people in jamestown heard
him for one minute. At Washington c.
H., reached after dark, at least 5000 peo-
pie were gathered and another rear plat
form speech, ten minutes in length, was
delivered by the nominee Rain was fall
ing when Mr. Bryan reached here at 8:45
o'clock. He addressed a big crowd and
left twenty minutes later.
GAINESVILLE, o., Oct. 20, / a. m.-More

rain, but found three quite large audiences
waiting for him. Although very tired, he
kept his engagements to speak.

each Of these towns he was given an en-
thusiastic welcome.
