been Il Republican, Il man who owed II
mortgage of 81, 900 on II farm which used
to he worth S., 600, and who stated i'll his
letter that under the gold standard he eN-

under gold standard farmers cannot pay
their mortgages and simply have to lose
what they have invested and turn their
land over to the man who loans his
money and uses his mortgage to intim-

There were no new features in the adj
dress of Mr.. Bryan at Niles; that city was
reached at II 80 and he addressed II crowd
of several thousand for twenty minutes.
At Dowiac, Mr.. Bryan found that eX
Congressman William d. Bynum was to
speak from the same platform he occu
pied, few hours after the address and in
order to prepare the silverites of that city
for Mr.. Bynum's speech he quoted what
Mr. Bynum had said on the subject of
finance in 1886.

chist. You will probably see his picture

name is Hon. Albert Williams and he
lives in Ionia, Mich, and he was intro

kinley rs the only survivor of the sixteen
who met ard adopted the first Republican
platform and suggested the name of the
Republican party on the sixth of July,
1854, under the oaks at Jackson. He
must be an anarchist because he is with
us this year. My friends, he is one of the
many men who have found it necessary
to either get out of the Republican party
or surrender their country into the hands
of foreigners and he has naturally chosen
to get out of the party, and yet, my
friends, the campaign of education which
our opponents are carrying on consists
mainly in applying abusive names to such
men. Our opponents tell you that this
country cannot be trusted in the hands of
any party or any men who have the sup
port of such men rs Albert Williams and
they insist that if you want good gov.
eminent you must turn the Government
over to the Wall stIc Get syndicates and let
them run it for all there is in it''

which sllrged back and forth about the
vehicle

bic for the candidate TO reach the speak
er's stand. He climbed to the drivers
seat and was there introduced by Thomas
f.. Barkwortb, the candidate for Congress
in that district.
1t was many minutes, however, before
Mr.. Bryan could proceed with his address
and he was often interrupted by the de-
monstrative evidences of Tie affection of
the crowd.
There was but five minutes left for Mr..
Bryan TO speak ut the second meeting
when at last the driver had succeeded in
eXtrcatlng the carriage from the crowd.
When he arrived at the place OF speaking
he found II repetition of the first scene.
