Mr.. Bryan delivered three speeches here
tonight, and this Republican city turned
out in force to see and hear him-not be-

taken to the public square and there he
worked over one of his oft-repeated finan-

West Virginia towns brought big crowds
The committee on arrangements, in order
to provide room, tore down an old house
on a lot in the center of the city and In
its place erected a platform. 1t was there
Mr. Bryan spoke. His speech was similar
to previous ones. He had seen so many
Republican badges in his trip through
West Virginia that he used them for his
text, saying:
You talk to Republicans about the gold
standard and they will tell you they are
as good friends of the gold standard as
az y body And yet when they come to
get out their badges. when they come TO
print the name of their candidate on paper
they by some strange circumstance. select
yelio paper to print it on. Applause and
iaughter.) Another thing. You cannot find

Now, why do they use sound money IN,
stead of gold? Because they dare not tell
the people what they mean by the term

friends, everybody wants sound money but
the question is what is sound money? l
