known. and who says hat there is a
'well-founded rumor' that certain
things are going to happen. Naugh-
ter.) That, my friends, is
THE SORT OF ARGUMENT
that is being spread before the Amer
lean people. Why do not these men
who are giving opinions give their
names. so we can find out who the
men are, and What their opinions are
worth? But 1 am afraid hat they
love darkness rather than light, be-
cause their deeds are evil and they
dare not come out in the open light.
(Applause.) l call attention to this
because we car see by it what an I'M
substantial foundation is laid for the
fears which they attempt to excite in
the breasts of American citizens.
Let me give o another evidence
of the lack of candor and %directness
that characterizes u opponents. Elk
Secretary Fairchild is quoted in this
same paper as saying: I do not see
how we a do anything else than put
a third ticket in the presidential arena.
We have practically committed our
selves to such a course. We want to
see the defeat of the Chicago ticket,
and we shall try to draw away as
many voters as we can from 1t. We
feel that their defeat may be best ac-
complished by a third ticket. OF course,
we shall find no fault with those of
our friends who cast a straight vote
for Mckinley. As to who the nominee
will be, ! have not the slightest idea
Now, there. my friends" said Mr..
Bryan, lis a party that claims to be
in favor of honest money, advocating
the putting up a ticket, not for the pur-
pose of electing the ticket, not for the
n1lH~nnCa Of rvnffn@ fnv- 41a +i11xlf I4-<
for the purpose of electing another man
whom they are
NOT WILLING TO ENDORSE
in a convention. (Applause.)
Il simply call your attention TO the
methods which we nave to meet in this
campaign. And l ask you whether
these methods characterize a party that
is SO evoted to honesty n everything
that it want honest money and sound
dollars. (Derisive laughter.)
Now, as against d party, without
daring to advocate a gold standard,
yet declaring in favor of its mainten-
ance until other nations come to our
relief, and as against another so-called
party that advocates the nomination of
a ticket not for the purpose of electing
II, but for the purpose Of electing an
other ticket, we present a sfraightfor-
ward. emphatic declaration, which is
so clear that who runs may read.
We demand the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present ratio
of Is to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation on earth.
l believe o have a right to consider
the frankness, the candor. with which
these positions are stated when you
coma 10 dnnidn which cila &c loaart1y
striving to do that which is best for
the American people.
IF"
Nov. if the gold standard is a good
thing, the Republicans ought to have
declared in favor of its perpetual main
tenance. If the gold standard is a
good thing, then the United States
ought to have 1T, and if the gold stand
ard is a bad thing then no foreign ma
ton should be permitted to force a
gold standard upon the people of the
United States. (Cheers.) There is not
in that money platform of the Republi-
can party a single ray of hope. Are
you satisfied with your condition? If
SO, why do you not keep up a gold
standard? If o are o satisfied with
your condition. are you willing to sub
mlr to present conditions until other
people
TAKE PITY ON US
and come to our rescue? (Applause.)
That, my friends, is the position in
which we are placed in this campaign
no party depending on a gold stand
ard, and yet a great party willing to
surrender the right of self-government.
willing to vest its legislative powers in
other lands, and let them legis1ate for
the United States. (Hisses and shouts
of Never, never.'0 1 do not believe
that the American people will ever
consent to receive their mandates from
over he cean. CA voice with a strong
Hibernian accent Johnny Bull will
never do IT'D
Another thing, my friends, our op-
ponents do not attack one of the strong
planks in u platform. We declare
against the issue of bonds in time of
peace, and against the traficking with
~syndicates who hire themselves for a
high price to look after our govern
ment. Naughter.) We denounce that
policy. Does the Republican party de-
nounce it? No, no;
NOT A WORD
in their platform d~enounces it. If the
1NNpNO-ANon pal ~ SuCC6SNS. VIII IL SlOD
thai policy? Woices, No, no.') How
DO you know it will not? It is because
every man who is interested in these
~syndicateS; every nan who profits out
of the governments extremities is
declaring that the Republican ticket
must be elected this year to save the
country. These people would not go
to the polls and try to elect the Re-
publican party if they thought that
that party was going to stop the traf-
ticking with s~yndicates. (Applause) =
And yet when ~ opponents come
before the people to whom do they ap-
peal for votes? Do any of these Re
publican speakers turn to the money
changers and appeal to them to vote
the Republican ticket? No. 1t is not
necessary to waste time on them.
ITO whom do they appeal? To the
ones they think the least likely to vote
the Republican ticket. They appeal
to the ones where they think it will
require the most persuasion to get
them out. They appeal especially to
the laboring men. They tell the labor
something is going to happen to him.!
Oaughter.)
"Now. how can you tell whether
these men who stand at the head of the
gold crusade, and yet do not have the
courage to say gold when they talk
how do O tell whether they are going
to help the laboring man or not?

PAST.
