without straw. | want to say to you,
my friepds, that no system, no policy,
has been contrived by the mind of man
so calculated to make the toiling
masses
MAKE BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW
as the gold standard (cheers), and I
want to suggest to you that the man
who goes to the fnanciers and syndi-
Gates TO secure their aid in restoring
party that is good for the American
goes on a fools errand. l thank you"
Mr.. Bryan bowed his thanks. Some
one in the crowd called for three
cheers for William Mckinley" and the
cheers were given with apparent good
will
Mr. Bryan arrived at Ripley at 80
p. m. after a rather embarrassing drive
across the country from Mayville The
candidate and his wife took dinner at
! the house of Lyman Bennett with Hon.
Charles Corbett, a member of the
Democratic state committee and other
supporters.
Mr.. Bryan made a speech to a large
crowd and left for Cleveland. over the
Lake Shore road at 3:05 p. m. His
speech was delivered in Tallman's
grove, where the Knights of NIaccabees
were holding a picnic. His audience
numbered 1000 and was fairly enthusi-
astic. Mr.. Bryan was introduced by
the chief officer, w S. Stringham, who
took care however, to say that he did
not endorse him but had produced him
here as an attraction for the people.
AS the question was one on which they
desired to hear Mr.. Bryan he hoped
they would give him close attention.
Mr.. BRYAN SAID:
81 desire to speak to you for just a
short time about this campaign. But
before proceeding to discuss any poll
teal questions, 1 desire 10 thank the
members of this fraternity for the
! privilege which they have given to me
of meeting the people here assembled.
shall not ask the members of the fra
.ernity to endorse anything that 1 say.
1 recognize that the order is a nom
partisan order as it must be, and
therefore, politics should have no place
in its consideration. That is, so far
as the order is concerned, although
members of ali orders must be, as citi-
zens, interested in any question that
is before the American people. Not
only do L appreciate the courtesy
/ which the MaccabeeS have extended
/ but ] appreciate the work which that
4 order and other orders are doing. I am
myself a. member of some of the SINH
lar orders and I speak what I believe
when I say that they are doing great
! and important work among our people
! (Applause) This is the last opportu-
nifty which I shall have to say q, word
in the state of New York. For the last
week I have been travelling and meet
ing the people. l am greatly pleased
with the interest which is being taken
by the people Of New York in the is
! sue Of this campaign. / am able to
carry back to the people Of the west
! the news that while we have not met
with a very hearty reception in Wall
street. we have met a hearty reception
in every other part of the state of New
/ York. { Cheers) And I have come to
believe there is among the masses of
the people of New York about
AS LITTLE LOVE
for what is known as Wall street as
you will find in any western state.
4 (Cheers9 And as this is my farewell
meeting in the state for the present L
desire to submit just a word to the
people of New York. First, to the
members of the Democratic party: L
have been gratified to find so few-few
relatively-of the members Of the
/ Democratic party are going to oppose
! the platform and ticket nominated at
4 Chicago. / desire to say word to the
4 Democrats Of this state who believe
/ that the state convention ought 10 en-
/ dorse not only the candidates of the
/ Chicago convention but the platform
on which these candidates sGand.
/ CCheers) If there is any person here
who thinks that the Democratic party
of the state of New York ought not to
! endorse the candidates and platform,
what l shall say is not addressed 10
such persons, but to those who believe
I that the state convention to be held
/ in this state in about two weeks should
1 endorse both platform and candidates,
[ desire TO offer one suggestion. we
/ have had a great fight in the Demo-
cratic party-one Of the most memor-
I able contests ever waged in the Unlted
States. and those who advocate the
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER
have won by carrying their cause, not
/ to the conventions. but to the people
/ themselves, the source Of all pollticdl
power. (Cheers).
IF we had waited until the convent
ton assembled at Chicago and then
made our appeal to the delegates VINO
had been sent there uninStructed ana
without regard TO the money question
we should have been defeated, but we
saw that the strength of bimetalllsm
was in the rank and file OF the party.
IF YOU want the state convention 10
support the Chicago platform and
/ ticket. there is only one way to be sure
of if and that is not to let any man
go TO any convention great or small I'M
/ I'll Won know where he stands on this
question and know that he stands by
You. (Applause) No man who wants
/ to do what is right will refuse to let
4 thA neople know what he will do when
! he gets to the convention. The men
who assemble at conventions do not
90 there as individuals. They go to
ACT for YOU who send them. And you
rot only have a right to know what a
man is going to do when he gets there,
hut YOU have right to tell him what
TO do and to bind him with instructions
to do it. I do not, in making THESE
suggestions. mean to advise any OF
YOU how he shall act in regard to the
endorsement of the action taken by
the Democratic national convention
but simply wish to suggest to you that
If YOU wish to endorse that convention
that is the only way you will be sure.
/ That is the way in which this tight
must be carried on if the people are to
have
THEIR WISHES EXPRESSED
in the convention. 1 have not in this
campaign insisted that a Democrat
shall vote for me merely because 1 was
nominated by the Democratic party. l
have insisted that Democrat who be-
ieves that the success of this ticket
nominated at Chicago would be best
for his country, best for himself, best
for his family and best for his neigh
Dor should regard the ticket as having
such a claim upon him that he would
have to support it.
And / have been willing to concede
