The remainder of Mr.. Bryan's speech
was devoted to an argument on the silver
question covering the grounds which his
former speeches have made familiar to
the public.
The handshaking process was repeated
In the station at Erie, Pa, where the
train stopped ten minues At Conneaut
the first stop was made in Major McKin-
ley'S state, and here Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
were greeted by Daniel AIcConville chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee of Ohio. There was no mistaking
the heartiness of the Ashtabula reception.
Cheers were continuous, and they came
with increased vigor when Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred 10 Republicans changing their pol
iticS in this campaign Ashtabula has
been a stronghold of Republicanism since
the days before the war. Here Mr.. Bryan
opened his Ohio campaign. Mr.. and Mrs
Bryan went out on the rear platform of
the car and cheers We're called for and
Mrs. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan said:
1 understand that this is one of the
places where it is not necessary for a
Democrat to speak, as there are Repubii-
cans here who are running the campaign
and making the speeches and they do not
need anybody to come in from the out
side.
My friends, I recognize your salute to
the flag, and l stand upon a platform
which declares that the people who owe
ALLEGIANCE TO THAT FLAG
are the only people who have right TO
say what our policy shall be. In this
country, where you have many in
stances of Republicans who are coming
out for free silver, 1 want you to ask
yourselves one question. If this free sill
yer sentiment is a craze, If it has no sub
stantial foundations; If, as our opponents
norance, want to ask you how it is that
honest, thinking Republicans are willing
to leave the associations Of life time
in order to stand by the free coinage of
number of men who in the last three
months, by study have come to believe
in that to which they are opposed? "a
voice. Because they are honest.") And
how is it that you cannot find a Democrat
who was for free silver three months ago
and who is opposed to it now, unless he
is man who has a pecuntary reason for
deserving the Democratic party? We
of American people. We have a cause
that appeals to the hearts OF the Ameri-
can people; and for every Democrat who
goes away from the Democratic party be-
cause of its attitude on the money ques-
ton, because of its opposition to bond is
sues and because it is in favor Of con-
trolling and suppressing trusts in this
country, we expect is people to take mis-
place. Voive in the crowd-'16 TO Id
SIXTEEN TO ONE
has several meanings; but one Of the
meanings Of l6 to l, and the one which
our opponents fear most, is that we Will
get sixteen men for every one we lose
(Cheers and laughter). You people have
discussed bond issues, and j want TO ask
you, my friends, whether the citizens of
this country who must be taxed to pay
every dollar of the S262, co., 600 of bonds is
sued-the workingman, the laboring man,
the wealth-producing class, the business
men-have not as much right to protest
by their votes against bond issues as the
syndicates have to fasten that policy up
on the government for another admin
istration?
Our platform declares against these
bond issues. The Republican platform is
silent on the subject, and there is not
to raise his voice against the financial
policy of the present administration. If
we must lose the Democrats who Ipchted
by the bond issues. why ought not we to
and who suffer by tulose issues? Are there
any Republicans in this crowd? Shouts
of NOD Are there any men in this
crowd who have been Republicans?

publicans here who are going to vote the
Democratic ticket lift up your hands.

am glad to know that. Now, l commits
sion you to get out as missionaries and to
bring this doctrine before all the people

had since the war. Some of
OUR OPPONENTS ARE AFRAID
that if we have free coinage of silver we
are going TO be troubled with 5O-cent
dollar. 1t will be a new experience to a
few people to be troubled with any kind
of dollars now. daughter ana appiause)
We do not expect the silver dollar to be
a 50-cent dollar. We expect that with the
opening of our minis to free silver every
ounce of silve will be worth Sl.29.
Some one asked the candidate ques-
ton on the silver question as he con-
cluded his address, and aIter air. Bryan
answered this a number OF other queS-
tons bearing on the main issue of the
pie his reply in each case being cneered
by the crowd. Meanwhile a lively scene
was going on around a window of the car
out of which Mrs Bryan leaned and dis

was at its height when the train moved
out, followed by tremendous cheering.
The next stop was at Geneva, where sew
eraI hundred people were gathered, and
more handshaking and cheering took
place.
Madison had an unique reception, which
Nlr. Bryan seemed to enjoy heartily. The

marched up to the train and gave three
hearty cheers for the Republican candl-

was an opportunity for anything further

on for a speech and in reply he said:
There is only one issue in this cam
