Hon. VIM. J. Bryan celebrated Flag
Day, and with the exception of the
work he is to do in Nebraska on Mon
day next, closed the memorable cam
paign for the presidency in which he
has been engaged since his nomination,
by tour across the southern part of
Iowa. He made eighteen speeches be-
tween sunrise and his time Of retir-
ing, beginning at Mount Pleasant, in
the southeastern corner of the state,
and ending at Council Bluffs. Three
of his addresses were made at Ottum-
wa and four at Council Bluffs, and one
each at Mount Pleasant, Abba Chair
ton, Osceola, Creston, Corning, Will
sea, Red Oak, Hastings, Malvern and
Glenwood. These places are in each
instance surrounded by farming COM
munities.
The day was devoid Of any disagree
able incident. The Democratic candi-
date was met at each stopping place
by enormous crowds, and 1T was evil
dent that the farmers had generally
suspended operations for the day in or
der to attend the Bryan meetings. At
some of the stops there were practical
ly no yellow badges, but in one or two
instances gold was the predominating
color. There was no disposition mani
tested to interrupt any Of the speeches.
Mr. Bryan seemed to feel the benefcent
effect of the bracing temperature; he
spoke with a vigor, manifested both
in voice and style, which would have
dnpa orodif n tho OF af to
paign. His speeches were generally
directed to the agricultural interest,
ana were as rule constructed upon
the general lines of all his addresses
Of this character. The first speech at
Ottumwa was an exception in char
acter to the other addresses Of the day.
in that it was summing up Of the
campaign from Mr.. Bryan's stand
point. In this speech Mr.. Bryan said
We are now about to close a memorable
campaign, campaign in which greater is
sues are involved than were ever involved
in a campaign in the United States in time OF
peace. We have passed through a campaign
which has aroused a deeper feeling than has
try In time of peace. We have come to the
close of a campaign that has witnessed more
unselnsh devotion to a cause than has ever
been witnessed in any campaign in this
country In time OF peace.
Men who have never spoken before in pub
lie have gone forth in this campaign because
their hearts were so full of the truth that
they could not maintain silence. II they
had wiped from the face of the earth every
man who had made a public speech before
we would have had sufficient of public speak
ing from these new men who have demonstrat-
ed that eloQuence is the speech Of one who
knows what he is talking about and believes
what ne says.
The time has now come Tor you TO sit in
Judgment as SOVereignS OF the greatest n fioy
on the earth, and all that we ask of YOU is
that you shall make your votes represent
what you believe. The cause Of bimetalIism
has grown every day OF this campaign There
Las not been one backward step. There has
not been single moment when there was
q cessation in the progress Of the cause
