Coldsboro, N. c., Sept. 1S.-Goldsboro
did not sleep must last night. William
Brvan had arrived just before midnight,
and everybody stayed up to receive him
ond forgot to go to bed. In order that Mr..
Bryan might sleep, the special train fur
nished him by the North Carolina state
escort was hauled out of town, and the
s,seper in which the candidate spent the
night. was side-tracked away from bon
fires and brass bands and strong lunged
enthusiasts.
This morning at O'Clock, Mr.. Bryans
train was hauled back to town. At the
station the candidate was met by the local
reception committee, which conducted
him TO the speakers stand on Center
street. a broad main thoroughfare. A
brass band and the Goldsboro Rifles, in
full uniform and with equipments, march
ed ahead Center street. at the point
where the stand was erected, was crowd
ed. The gathering numbered between
8O0O and 1900. A B. Aycock, prominent
attorney, presented MIR. Bryan, who made
speech that worked his hearers up to
high degree of enthusiasm.
Mr.. Bryan said: Sometimes they ac-
cuse us of raising a sectional issue. One
Of the best evidences that the platform
adopted at Chicago does not raise sec
tional issue is found in the language of
the platform adopted yesterday in New
York Let me read it TO you. After un-
reservedly indorsing the platform and
candidate of the Chicago convention the
New York platform contains these words:
1t declares as its deliberate judgment
that never in the history of the demo-
cratic party has a platform been written
which embodies more completely the In
terests of the whole people, as distin-
guished from those who seek legislation
for private benefits, than that given 20
the country by the national democratic
convention of 1886 (Cheers) There,
within the shadow of Wall street there
against the combined opposition of those
i once leading democrats Of New York, who
4 have left the democratic party, and either
gone over entirely to the republicans or
stopped for moment at the half way
house. the democracy of New York de-
clares the platform adopted at Chicago
Is the most democratic platform eyer
put before the country by q democratic
convention. (Cheers.)
I'm the state Of Connecticut they have
also indCrsed our platform and in Penn
81 sylvania and New Jersey. In these and
other eastern states, the democracy is
beginning to realize that the Chicago
81 platform presents TO the American people
those great issues around which the peo-
pie must cluster if they are going to re-
tain government of, by and for the peo-
pie.
The Chicago platform contained a
plank expressing a desire for an income
tax, not saying that we are going to ignore
the decision of the supreme court, but
that an income tax should be retained
an1 enforced so far as the decision of
the court would permit, and that We
would abide by the principle Still, If
future court exercising the same right to
reverse the decision recently given that
the present court exercised in overthrow
ing the precedent of a hundred years
we should go back to the doctrine we used
10 have and declare that under the consti-
tution II is possible to make those who
nave large incomes pay their share of
me expenses of the government. ,
(Cheers9 ..-
In my judgment, the income tax is
just 1t is not war upon property but it
Is demand that those who have prop
ery and who demand the protection of
mat property by federal laws should be
NHhng TO support the government to
which they look for that protection and
NOT seek to use the instrumentalities of
the government for their own benefit and
tneh thrown the burden of supporting
mat government on the backs of those not
ape 10 bear it. (Cheers) The three par
les that joined in my nomination, agree
