The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25


money question have TO desert the history O.
the Democratic party, because our party ha:
stood for bimetallism, for the use OF gold and
silver ns standard money, during all its exist
ence. I say. therefore, that when Republi-
can comes to us he still has convictions thai
he used TO have. When Democrat leaves us
he has got TO change his convictions and &c
over aud denounee what he used to love and
love what he used to hate.
The most persistent attempt made dur
ing Mr.. Bryan's tour to create demon
stration against him occurred at little
place called Galva, where the train matted
few minutes Just after leaving Kewanee.
About 200 people were there. They were
fresh from imbibing Republican doctrine
administered by the five ex-Governors Oh
Illinois, who are travelling tnrougn Ine
State with John r. Tanner. The Ianner
special train, with a fatcar containing q
cannon, had passed Mr.. Bryan's. special
earlier in the day. A salute was tlreu ana
the governors deIuged the Bryan tram
with Republican literature as they dashed
by. Cheers for Mckinley were given as
Mr.. Bryan stepped out to greet gamer,
ing at Galva, and the cand idase RESPONDED
with: as there anybody here who thlnks
that the gold standard is the best thing"
Cries of .sYes" and mo" followed
Mr.. Bryan repeated his question and
got an immediate answer from an eioerly
man who was very much excited ana
shouted at the top of his voice: 1--WE have
coined twice as much silver since the de-
monetization act as there ever was from
the time of Jefferson to 70, ne snouteu,
and the crowd cheered. -,
How much silver are we coming nowT
demanded the candidate. There was no
response and he went on: Il want those
who say that gold is a good thing to hold
up some gold" he said, "hold up your
gold, some of you" Just then the train
began to move and Mr.. Bryan called back:
My friends look out for the gold m an
without any gold"
The crowd cheered, but whether for Nc
Kinley or Bryan was not evident.
MONMOUTH, Ill, Oct. 24.-The twin
cities of Moline and Rock Island, with the
assistance of mary people from Daven-
port, just across tue Mississippi in Iowa,
held a JOINT celebration OF William j.
Bryan's coming this afternoon. Speeches
had been made at all these places by Mr..
Bryan on his trip from Lincoln to New
York in August, but evidently there had
been :, O cessation of interest in the Demo-
cratic candidate, for at least 20, 600 people
gathered to hear him at point midway
between Moline and Rock Island. Vice
President Stevenson was also present and
made short speech when Mr.. Bryan had
concluded.
The vice-president went aboard the
companied the Presidential candidate to
Quincy. Although Alpha and Alexis were
not scheduled for stops the train halted
at both places to enable Mr.. Bryan 10 adj
dress good sized crowds. About 1000 peo-
pie were at Alexis and Mr.. Bryan told
them that he felt an interest in the town
because it was the home of his law part
ner. If his law partner had not persuaded
him to go to Lincoln, he said, he would
not have been elected to Congress, and if
he had not been elected to Congress he
would not have become Presidential
candidate. at Macomb Mr.. Bryan spoke
as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen: want to call your
attention to an interview which appears in
yesterday mornings Chicago Chronicle.
hope that we may find out that it is not true.
l waited until to-day before using it, thinking
that possibly the morning paper might make
q correction, and when speak of it want you
to distinctly understand that if there be sub
sequent denial of the language used, then all
l shall say about it shall tall to the ground.
IL is an interview published in the Chronicle
of Chicago of yesterday morning and dis
patch from New York giving the interview
with Bishop Worthington OF Omaha. Let me
read you what he says: when IL was sug-
gested to the Bishop that the farmers through
out the country were not in as prosperous
condition as they had b cen in the past, Bishop
Worthington said:
1.-The trouble with the farmer, in my judg-
ment, is that we have carried our free educa-
tional system entirely too far. The farmers
sons q great many of them who have abso-
lutely no ability 10 rise, get taste OF ed uca-
tion and follow it up. They will never amount
to anything-that is, many of them-and they
become dissatisfied to follow in the walk of
life that God intended they should and DRIFT
into cities. 1t is the overeducation of those
who are not qualified to receive 1t that fill our
cities while the farms lie idle"
say, my friends, hope that 1t may prove
that these words were not uttered by Bishop
MOrthingtOn.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at Quincy on his
special train at $3.50 O'Clock, accompanied
by Vice President Stevenson. Big excur-
sions came from points in Illinois and
Missouri and helped swell the thousands
OF residents who turned out to see the
parade and hear the speaking. Three
Speeches were made by Mr.. Bryan, the
first at Courthouse square, where an i'm
mense)throng was congregated. He was
heartily cheered. The beautiful Wash
ington square was the scene of the next
demonstration, and then Mr.. Bryan went
to the Empire Theater. He brought out
no new features in his several speeches.
When the nights work was over the
candidate and Mrs. Bryan returned to the
special train, which left over the Burling-
ton for Jacksonville, Ill.
