HARRISON FLAYS BRYAN.
WILL GIVE HIS sERVICES FREE
TO ANY COERCED MAN.

He Denounces Again the boy orntor's Ad-
vice 20 WorRinumcn to Br lIypocrites
and Wear False Coiors- Ringing Ar
rniEnment or the Candidates Speeches.
INpIASAPoLIs, Oct. 25.-Twice as many pco-
pie sought entrance into Tomlnson Hall last
night to hear Gen. Harrison as could enter. The
great audience listened with intense interest to
the ex-Presidents discussion OF coercion. Ho
quoted Bryan's Saturday reference to NJ. T..
Ingalls, and to himself, in which Bryan had re-
peated his advice to worklngmen to be hypo-
critics, and to wear Mckinley badges and vote
for free silver. Gen. Harrison replied so ear
ncstly and eloquently that every sentence exc
cceded its predecessor In emphasis until the
climax was reached. and n mighty and pro-
longed shout arose from the audience. He said
My friends. Mr.. Bryan assumes that Mr..
Ingalls, and have justified coercion.
1t Is an assumption absolutely without
truth. [Greot applause.l Mr.. ingalls, has pub
licly proclaimed thnt every employee OF every
railroad In his charge should be FREQ to vote as
he pleased. lApplause.1 He has publicly de-
clared that ifany subordinate Of his dismissed
any man because of his political opinions. or at
tempted in any way to coerce his action and
vote. he would dismiss that man and REIN
state the worknEman that was dismissed.
tApplause.l
at is not a question at all Of justifying coer-
cion. denounce it; have always denounced
It. have always proclaimed as American doc
trine that every man should voto according to
the dictates OF his own conscience lapplause1;
that man should coerce him, aud that his
vote, when cast, should be honestly counted.
This gentleman does me wrong when he inn
putes to me any acquicscence in the suggestion
that the vote Of any man shall be coerced.
But what of his position? My view Of the
situation is that II any railroad President. II
any employer of labor. attempts to contro. the
political convictions OF any employee. he should
assert his manhood then and there [great ap-
plausel and declare to that President or en-
p!oyer that he would vote as he pleased Icon
tinued applausel. and that declaration OF his
will be supported by everybody. lGreat APP
plausel
II will undertake to defend this principle
everywhere. not only here. but II an instance of
this kind is brought to my attention will
pledge myself rs a citizen and lawyer to re-
buke IL. tGreat applause What shall be
said. however, Of the suggestion that Mr.. Bryan
makes! would have the workingman assert
his manhood: not only vote as he pleases. but
wear the button that he pleases Lnpplausel;
march in the parade that he p!eases and ask
no mans consent. tApplnuse
II cannot think of qualification that goes fur
'He' '"".' i"i man W cover MS lace with a
mask and march undera banner that he de-

to keep his place. [Arpause.l That is not the
spirit Of a free man, and Mr.. Bryan greatly un-
dervalues the anaood of the American work
ingman whom he cOmmends such a programme
rs that to him. tAppiausc.l He greatly under
values the sense Of fairness Of the American
people for undertake to say that II there were
