His Home In Canton-SenatOr Till
man Challenges Gen. Harri-
son to Debate.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, Aug. e9.-That
wonderful voice of William j. Bryan
was in bad condition for oratory Friday
morning at Tonawanda, l2 miles from
Buffalo, where he had the first oppor-
tunity of using it. He spoke with an
effort and showed plainly the effect on
his vocal organs of the last few days
of long speeches.
Tonawanda, the scene of the great
strike three years ago, was reached just
before nine o'clock. In the crowd of
500 persons gathered at the regular
stopping place for the electric cars,
workingmen predominated. Cheers
were heartily given as Mr.. Bryan APP
peared on the rear platform. He made
a short address, speaking with COLI
siderable effort to make himself heard.
At the town of Niagara Falls, reached
shortly after ten o'clock, there was no
demonstration. A reception commit
tee met Mr.. Bryan md the candidate
and his party were taken in another
trolley car to view the whirlpool rapids
and the other sights below the big
cataract. After viewing the big falls,
Mr.. Bryan, at 11:1S, left for Medina by
the Central road.
A Pretty Incident.
Knowlesville, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Just
before the train left Niagara Falls, Mrs.
U4,-xyo hor IL,
of chrysanthemums. On the way to
the next station, Medina, the chrys-
anthemums, one by one, were present
ed by Mrs. Bryan to everyone within
her reach, and when the train held up
at Medina the lady stood with her hus-
band on the rear platform and there
resumed the work Of distribution among
. large crowd of persons who had as
sembled near the tracks. Many ladies
were in the crowd and stroye with the
rest for the coveted flowers. Mr.. Bryan
excused himself from speaking. He
said he had to save his voice for Knowles
VILE. Arriving at Knowlesville at 1:1O
Ep. M, Mr.. Bryan was received by large
gathering. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan took
seats in carriage drawn by four sill
ver-gray horses and were wheeled away
TO the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Woodford, where they were entertained
lat lunch.
Talks to Farmers.
Mr.. Bryan then proceeded to Slaw-
sons grove, where the Farmers alliance
picnic of Orleans county was in prog
ress. Here Mr.. Bryan addressed a
large audience, and was afterwards
given an informal reception at the home
tof Mrs. Saxton, on the Slawson estate.
In his address to the farmers Mr.. Bryan
read an extract from Mr.. Carlisle's
speech Of 1878, and commenting on it,
said:
"John G. Carlisle divided society into two
CLASSES. On the one side he put he idle hold
'ers Of idle capital; on the other he put the
Ietruggling masses, who produce the wealth
and pay the taxes of the country. If that
division existed then it esists to-day. More
than that, John q. Carlisle said that a pub
controlled in his official conduct by his
Ieynpathies and If his sympathies were
with ethe idle holders of idle capital, he
would coin as little money as possible,
Iwwhereas, II his sympathles were with
the struggling masses, he would coin as
much as the law would permit.
my friends, the issue to-day is between
the idle holdres of idle money and the
|strugglging masses who produce the wealth
and pay the taxes of the country. And
when this Is understood, when men find out
about the money question, you will find
out Il there iB man In your community
whose interests. whose sympathies are
with the idle holders Of idle money, he will!
be in favor Of O gold standard and not dar-
ing to say so. lie will talk about honest
money and Sound dollar But II his
leympathies are with those who produce
the nations wealth. he will be for the gold
and silver coinage Of the constitution.
'~They tell US that these prominent flnan-
lciers are going to leave the democratic
party because 1t declares for the restora-
ton Of silver. We shall not go into court
to secure an order to prevent their goging.
The democratic party has been weighed
down by those millstones long enough.
use the party organization for private
gain and their country for public plumber
Let me read a little from Mr. Carlisle S
speech" A voice: "Why do you read
from Carlisles speech?"
Mr.. Bryan-"Why? Because no man has
presented a more forcible argument in
favor OF bimetallism than Mr.. Carlisle
has"
Again quoting Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Bryan
said: HE understood the laws of finance,
He understood what would be the effect
lot adding this money to the circulation,
land my friends, If he stated the truth, then
that truth has not changed since then. nor
can 1t be changed, though everyone who
spoke for 1t has turned his back upon it.
lApplause]. Truth lives. it is the one
thnigg that will not die. quote these words
ito you to show that by the increase of the
volume OF money we expect to stop the con-
slant appreciation of money and the con-
