Jacksonville, H., Oct. 26.-That portion
If the city hall square in Jacksonville
about the gaily decorated speakers stand
which had been built near the north end,
vas densely crowded when, at 2 o'clock,
william j. Bryan began to speak this ar
ternoon. The ovation given him was one
ne the greatest he has received anywhere
IN city near the size of Jacksonville.
There was a parade during the day
which would have done credit to town
much larger than Jacksonville. There
was a number Of yellow ribbons scattered
through the crowd but they were in the
minority. Mr.. Bryan was introduced by
Judge 0. B. Thompson in short fatter-
ms speech, and when he took the stand
TO speak, he was cheered wildly. He said
in part:
1T is especially gratifying to find so
many willing to turn out on this occa-
sion when ! come back TO the city which
was for many years nay home. II is graf
living again to meet he friends l used
to know. I come back as the representa-
tive of q great principle, as the champion
Of n great cause rs the candidate OF
Those who believe that the American
people are able to attend TO their own
business. If there is any one in Morgan
county who believes that 100000 people
have 10 bow their knees to foreign ma
tons and bend their necks to foreign
yoke, l can not expect those people TO
vote for me this year because 1 do not
believe that we should submit ourselves
to foreign dictation.
The Foremost Issue.
The national parties declared the money
question to be the paramount issue of the
campaign, and those boiling democrats
who went over to help the republicans
without having the courage to call them
selves republicans also declared that the
money question was the paramount is
sue ana yet our opponents, when they
find themselves divided on this question,
when thew find themselves unable TO
meet the argument in favor Of bimetil-
sm, when they find themselves unable
10 convince the American people th2t-ouf
finances are safest when in the hardS
Of syudicajes. now turn to the people Oh
this country and say that the election OIL
the Chicago ticket is n menace to our
form Of government. We are prepared
to meet our enemies on any battlelleId
hut we want them to distinctly under
stand that, no matter how badly they
have been defeated in argument
they have got to face this money ques-
ton for one week more before the Amer
lean people"
Mr.. Bryan then defended the plank III
