ERIE, Pa, Aug. 26.--William J. Bry-
an made speeches today at three cities
OF Two states, Syracuse and Rochester,
n X, and Erie, Pa, and incidentally.
travelled several h INBRED miles to meet
the thousands who gath cred from the
surrounding country, to. hear him at
each place. The days demonstrations
eliminated in Erie, where the meeting
OF $50 delegates of Democratic societies
OF pennsylvania made the presence of
the candidate particularly opportune.
MI Bryan made three stirring speeches
to as many different audiences in the
evening, being driven quickly from one.
nall to another. The first meeting was
at Mannerchor hall, which held $500
persons, to whom Mr.. Bryan appealed.
TO study the issues of the campaign
and vote their convictions. His second
appearance was on the stage of the
Auditorium, where he faced an audi
ence OF equal size The second speech
was like the first, brief but stirring.
Outside of Erie opera house thousands
more had waited for a glimpse of the
candidate, and inside were assembled
the delegates to the meeting of Demo-
cratic societies. When the people were
admitted they filled the house in fif,
teen minutes, and the doors were closed

oy those who go forth to prosecute the work
OF this campaign. In my judgment we are
enterlng upon campaign which will be
memorable In the history of this country for
many reasons-not only because of the issue
involved, though that would be enough 10
make IL an epoch in the history of nations
put there are other reasons. This campaign
demonstrates as mo campaign has done with
in the past generation the capacity of fhe
people for self-government. Great ap-

Mr.. Bryan-ls there man in this land who
douDts that the american people can rise to
the requirement of an emergency? If SO, l bid
him to cast his eyes upon 70, 900 eco of people
thinking out their own salvation. Great
applause.) Is there man who believes that
l. bid him look until he can see the great
common people breaking every machine that
stands in their way. Great applause and
cheers.) Is. there man who believes that
the age of oratory is gone? / point him
to every precinct in this nation where he
will find a modern Demosthenes. Great ap-
plause.) Oratory will live so long as there
are causes which appeal to the human
heart. (Appause.ls Oratory is the speech Of
the person who knows what he is talking
about and means What he says and in this
campaign you will find the orator every

Applause and cheers.) will show you a

will meet the attorney of corporations and
crush him before any audience. (Great an

money question and who knows that if the
dollars go up his wheat comes down. and
you cannot answer the logic of that argument
at all.
You cannot drive the tariff question into
this campaign with a pile driver. 1t is not
more taxes the people want It is more
money to pay the taxes they already have.
want you to go home and take with you
the determination to- leave efforts undone
to carry out the principle which you espouse.
We have a cause that appeals to the hearts
of men. There is no sentiment in the human
heartP that is deereri down than the love of
Justice. 1t is that love of Justice which society
is built on-withost which there could be no
such thing as government i and that sense
OF Justice is offended by any LEGISLATION that
seeks to give to few people the prosperity
that ought to be the heritage of all.
Now there is one rule by which we can de-
termine upon which side the citizens of this
country will fight. r remember hearing a
sermon -preachedta good manyeyears ago from
the text: LAS he thinketh in his heart so
is he" The more I have thought of that
text the more deeply it has impressed me.
The heart is the place where conduct Is de-
termined. and If want to find out where
man is in this fight don't look at his brain
that would find reason for whatever his
heart wants to do, Look at his heart and find
out where his sympathy is. When people
choose their sides in this campaign. after
having studied the question and understand
Ing 1T, they will take the side to which their
sympathies lead them.
You might not accept my autherity-I win
give you authority that our opponents at
least, Will not question. Hon. John G. Car
Isle in 1873 made speech in congress- and
IN the course of that speech in the house of
representatives used these words-I think I
can. quote them exactly - sfIf this measure
(which was the Bland actl could be left for
It's enlargement, to "a public official who was

Do you comprehend what he has said I'm
those words? Mr. Carlisle divided society
into classes. He said that on the money
question. the idle holders of idle capital were
on the one side and the struggling masses
who produce the wealth and pay the taxes
OF the country. were on the other side.41 If
that division existed then. it exists now He
