'-s5ut with all this claim to regularity,
DO not ask q single democrat to vote
for my election If, in his heart, he believes
| that my election would injure his country
\ To me, party is but a means to an end
| And shall not feel unkindly to any demo-
crat who honestly and conscientiously puts
| his country above his party and votes
against me, If he believes that the policy
| for which I stand would bring injury
to our common country. But, my friends,
want the man who leaves the democratic
party to find his reason in his head or his
heart, and not in his pocket. How can
you tell whether man is honest when he
tells you that the election of the Chicago
ticket would inture his country. I will
| give you a way to tell. Any man who
thinks my election would injure this coun-
try can prove it in just one way, and that
Is by voting for the republican candidate,
and thus make sure of my defeat
Now, we appeal to no man to go Contrary
to his judgment and his conscience, but
] want to warn YOU who are in contempla-
ton of desertion from the democratic
party at this time that the man who In
the face of such an enemy either goes to
the rear or is found in secret conference
with the enemy is traitor, upon whom
the brand shall be placed, and he shall
not come back again.
VIII Continue tho Fight,
''These assistant republicans, whose
hearts are willing, but whose flesh is
weak, may as well understand now that
the contest with which we are engaged
is not contest for this year alone. be-
lieye we shall win now. But whether we
win now or not, we have begun war
fare against the gold standard which
shall continue until the gold standard is
driven from our shores back to England
We have been opposed to the importa-
ton OF criminals and paupers from abroad
and we shall oppose the Importation of q
financial system which is criminal and
which makes paupers wherever 1t goes'
The Gold Importations.
Mr.. Bryan then presented lengthy argu.
ment in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer. Referring to the present influx of gold
from abroad, he said:
do you tell me that we do not need
any more money in this country? point
| to the fact that the advocates of the gold
| standard rejoice whenever any money
comes to this country. They point to it
as an evidence that there will be better
| times. II we have enough money in this
country, why should we want any money
to come from abroad? If we have enough
now, then any more would be too much,
and surely nobody wants too much money
| in this country. If it is desirable to have
money come from abroad, then it is evil
dent that we have not enough money here
| now, and If we have not enough money
now, 1t is better to let the money come
out Of our own mountains and be our own
| money than to borrow it abroad and have
| to pay it back with interest some time.
They tell us that the election of the Chi
| cago ticket will drive gold from this coun-
try. I want you to remember that the
mere nomination of the candidate for
president on free silver platform has
been bringing gold to this country for the
last few weeks. My friends, If nominal
| tion Will start this much of flow of gold
| m a will ha I ho
enormous flow when we actually have a
president who is for free silver?'
After his speech Mr.. Bryan was hur-
ried out at private door to his car
rage just in time to escape the rush
of the more enthusiastic upon the stage.
He was taken to the Jefferson hotel
and made an address from the hotel
balcony to about 1000 people gathered
in the street below. To representa-
tive of the Associated Press Mr.. Bryan
said that he had seen in the newspapers
copy of Senator Aliens notification
of his nomination by the populists AMI
would probably answer it early next
week.
