Gates and for syndicates, you have a
right to it, and you can cast your in
fuence with those who are against us.

government that Jefferson advocated;
the government that Lincoln desired
government of the people, by the
people and for the people-you must
join with those who believe in a gov
eminent by the people. (Applause)
So far as 1 am personally concerned,
this election will simply determine
whether shall remain a private citi-
zen or occupy the most exalted posi-
| ton within the power of man to con-
fer upon a fellow man. 1t will deter
mine whether l shall remain with you
to uphold, as best can, the hand Of
the one who is elected until his policy
can be reversed al the polls. or whether
shall depart from you to be gone four
years, and then return to live with you
the rest. of my days. (Great applause
and cheering.)
HE MEANT 1T.
81 have stated that if elected I shall
not be absent from you more than four
years. When L stated it l meant it,
and I want you TO believe in my sin
certify when 1 say So. applause and
cries of I'VE dos'i1 L believe that the
l.,
with responsibilities so heavy, that the
man who occupies it ought to have no
personal ambition beyond proving him
self worthy of the confidence of those
who elected him. .(Great cheering and
continued applause.) If elected, 1 shall
consecrate four years of my life to the
service of my country, feeling that
when that is done all has been done in
the way of honor that can be done, and
then l shall rejoice again to be priv
ate citizen in this nation where to be
a citizen is greater than to be king.
Great applause.)
My friends. / remember that when
little less than two years ago. ] re-
turned to this city after completing
four years in congress, you met me and
extended to ne a welcome which
touched my heart, and 1 want to say to
you that nothirS you can do in the
future can withdraw from me what
you have done in the past. You may
turn against me if you like, but, my
FRIENDS, you can never undo what you
have already done, nor can you take
from me the feeling of gratitude which
L entertain towards those whose kind |
ness and confidence first gave me an
opportunity to become interested in
public questions, the kindness and the |
confidence of those, who enabled me to
begin the great fight III which / am
now engaged. (ApplauSe.)
A RIGHTEOUS CAUSE.
My friends, I want you to believe
me when | say that 1 have enjoyed the |
opportunity Of defending bimetallism, |
because I believe it is righteous |
cause, and I want you to believe that |
L would rather stay among you as a |
private citizen and be permitted still |
10 raise my voice against what 1 con- |
m hG q fr,r% 4
race than to enjoy all the honors in !
christendom if I had to join in the con-
spiracy. (Great applause and cheer |
inG.) And, ROW, let he ask you who |
are interested in the result of this cam /
paign TO lose no effort to have the vote |
recorded tomorrow exactly as the co.
pie desire to vote. l am seeking no in
voluntary support. l have said, and 1 /
repeat, that l do not want a vote I'M
less there is behind the vote the heart |
of the person who casts the vote |
(Great applause.) The work which lies |
before president who goes into Office !
with the desire to reform a financial /
policy and to drive the trusts and syn
dictates from this land, will be hard
enough if he is supported by the people;
his work would be impossible If he |
were not supported by them. Great !
cheering and applause.) l want you, (
if you are in earnest to give us a /
senate and a congress as well as an /
vote (Cries of I'VE WILL" and
applause) If you are in earnest, 1 .
want your earnestness to be manif.sted /
in clear sweep and then, my friends,
if by the suffrage of my countrymen I /
am made their chief executive. l Will /
promise You that no power in this /
country or in any foreign land will pre-
vent the restoration of the money of /
the constitution among our people,
Tremendous cheering and great ap-
plause.)
OMAHA, Nov. 2.-Three stops were
made by MIR. Bryan's special on the
run from Lincoln to Omaha They
were at Greenwood, Ashland and Gret-
ma, and at each the candidate was
enthusiastically greeted. His remarks
at Gretna were rather interesting This
is what ne said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: When 7 be-
gan my first canvass for congress in
1890 1 came to Gretna, being the young
est Democratic precinct in the only
certain county of the district, and
when / came here l remember that
you raised the first pole ever raised
in my honor and put upon it banner
bearing the inscription w. J. Bryan,
NJ c. Six years have passed since
then, and l now come among you on
the last day, and in the evening of that
day, when, instead of being a candi-
date for congress. / am the candidate
of three parties for the presidency. I
remember, with grateful appreciation.
the handsome vote that / received in
going to watch the returns tomorrow
night and see if Gretna does as well
this year." (Cheers.)
