TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. z2.-THo
trip of William ]. Bryan through
Hoosierdom today was Of interest. NOT
only because of the enthusiastio
crowds encountered at nearly every
stop, but because of the aggressive nae
ture Of his speeches. At Delphi he re-.
futed the charge Of ex-President Hars
rison that when he spoke Of those who
had been saving the country for thirty
years, at so much per save, he alluded
to the old veterans. On a platform
erected within a few yards Of the home
Of General Lew Wallace he replied n
vigorous language to the author Of Ben
Hur, who in a speech made some time
ago alluded to Mr.. Bryan as an anarch.
list.
At Lafayette he denied the statement
of ex-President Harrison made yester~
day at Salem that 1.-The present condis
tions are that we are q bimetallto
country" He said that that statement
meant that, having been defeated IN
this campaign on a gold standard, the
Republicans are trying to get under
cover of bimetallism and claim their
platform is fraud. There was great-
er absence Of yellow badges in all the
crowds today, and at every place where
the candidate spoke he had large and
enthusiastic crowd. The same trouble
was experienced as was encountered
yesterday in regard to the delaying Of
the train at different places, and the re-
suit was that when Terre Haute was
reached the train was nearly two hours
behind schedule time.
The Indiana committee evidently did
not intend to allow Bryan to fall far
behind his record as a speech mak0r
on this trip. Nineteen speeches were
made in the twenty-foudr hours end
ing at midnight last night, and today
seventeen were on the card. But Parks

tee, who is in charge of the train, 10

correct them before they reach the
acute and dangerous point. I am certain,
therefore, that more constant and ac-
tive participation in the political affairs
on the part of our men of education would
be of the greatest possible value to our
country. 1t is exceedingly unfortunate
that politics should be regarded in any
quarter as an unclean thing, to be
avoided by those claiming to be edu-
Gated and respectable. It would be
strange indeed if anything related to the
administration of our government or
the welfare of our nation should be es-
sentially degrading. I believe it is not
a superstitious sentiment that leads to
the conviction that God has watched
over our national life from the begin
ming. Who will say that the things
worthy of Gods regard and fostering
care are unworthy Of the touch of the
wisest and best men? Iwould have those
sent out by our universities and colleges
not only as counselors of their fellow
countrymen. but as the tribunes of the
people, fully appreciating every condi-
tion that presses upon their daily life
and sympathetic in every untoward sit
uation, quick and earnest in every eff
fare and prompt and sturdy in defense
of all their rights.
I have but imperfectly expressed the
thoughts to which I have not been able
to deny utterance on this occasion, so
full of glad significance and so pervaded
by an atmosphere of patriotic aspira-
ton. Born of those surroundings, hope
cannot be in vain that the time is at
hand when all of our countrymen will
more deeply appreciate the blessings of
American citizenship, when their disin-
terested love of their government will
be quickened, when fanaticism and pas
sion shall be banished from the field of
politics and when all our people, dis
carding every difference of condition or
opportunity will be seen under the
banner of American brotherhood, march
ing steadily and unfalteringly on toward
the bright heights of our national des-
tiny.
At the conclusion of the presidents
address the entire assemblage arose
and sang America. The benediction by
the Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee,
bishop of Washington, D. c., concluded
the sesqui- exercises.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland were enter
tanned at lunch at 1 o'clock by President
and Mrs. Patton, invitations being is
sued to the visiting delegates. Later in
the afternoon reception was given by
President and Mrs. Patton to President
Cleveland and wife. This function last
ed until o'clock, and Immediately after
ward the president and Mrs. Cleveland
were escorted to their special train and
the homeward journey to Washington
was begun at Sis p. m.

CLEVELAND'S ADDRESS.
Popular Government Is Based Upon the
Peoples Intelligence.

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen
AS those in different occupations and
with different training each must see
plainly in the same landscape view of
those features which are most nearly
related to their several habitual envi-
ronments-so, in our contemplation of
an event or occasion each individual
especially observes and appreciates in
the light his mode of thought supplies
such of it's features and incidents as are
most in harmony with his mental stu
alton.
Today, while all of us warmly share
the general enthusiasm and felicitation
which pervades this assemblage, am
sure it's various suggestions and mean
ing assumes prominence in our respect
i've fields of mental vision, dependent
upon their relation of our experience and
condition. Those charged with the man.
agement and direction of educational
advantages of this noble institution
most plainly see, with we'll earned sat
isfaction, proofs of it's growth and USE
fulness and it's enhanced opportunities
for doing good. A graduate of Prince
ton sees the first evidence of greater
his alma mater and added honor thence
reflected upon him, while those still
within her student halls see most prom
inently the promise Of increased dignity
which awaits their graduation from
Princeton university. But there are
others here, not of the family of Prince
ton, who see with interest not to be
outdone the signs of her triumphs on
the fields of higher education, and the
part she has taken during her long and
glorious career in the elevation and the
betterment of a great people.
Among these I take an humble place,
and as yield to the influence Of this &C.
casion I cannot resist the train Of
| thought which especially reminds me
I of the promise of national safety and the
guaranty Of the permanency of our free
institutions which may, and ought, to
radiate from universities and colleges
scattered throughout our land.
Obviously, government resting upon
the will and universal suffrage of the
people has no anchorage except in the
peoples intelligence. While advanta-
ges of collegiate education are by no
means necessary to good citizenship,
vet the college graduate, found every
where, cannot smother his opportunl-
ties to teach his fellow countrymen and
influence them for good, nor hide his tai
ents IN napkin, without recreancy to
his trust.
In nation like ours, charged with the
care OF numerous and widely varied in
terests, the spirit Of conservatism ami
