BRYAN QUOTES JEFFERSON
(continued from First Page.)

uLVe committee, ana H. IL. CnapmaH of Jackson, who will be appointed a member of the state democratic eXecu- tive committee, There was considera- ble enthusiasm at Conneaut and calls for speech. but MT. Bryan did not gratify the desire.
 There was no mistaking the hearth ness of the reception. Cheers were con- tinuous and they came with increased vigor when MT, Bryan referred to re- pubAcans changing their plan in this campaign. Ashtabula is a stronghold of the republicans since the days before the war when Joshua Giddings one of the early apostles of anti-slavery, rep resented the district in congress. Here MT. Bryan opened his Ohio part of the campaign. MT. and Mrs. Bryan went out on the rear platform of the car and cheers were given for the American flag and for Mrs. Bryan. MT. Bryan then addressed the crowd, which was very noisy, but in a jovial temper, and he appeared to enter fully into the humor of the moment. He said:
 
 places where it is not necessary for a democrat to speak, as there are repub- licans here who are running the cam paign and making the speeches, and they do not need anybody to come in from the outside. My friends, recog- nize your salute to the flag, and I stand upon platform which declares that the people who owe allegiance to that flag are the only people who have a right to say what our financial policy shall be. In this country, where you have so many instances of republicans who are coming out for free silver, want you to ask yourselves one ques- ton. If this free silver sentiment is d craze; if it has no substantial founda- ton; if as our opponents say, it is founded on dishonesty and ignorance I want to ask you how it is that honest thinking republicans are willing to leave the associations of a lifetime in order to stand by the free coinage of silver? Why is it you can find any number who in the last three months. by study, have come to believe in that to which they were opposed? GA voice. Because they are honestD
 And how is it that you cannot find democrat who was for free silver three months ago and is opposed to it now unless he is a man who has a pe- cuniary reason for deserting the party? We have cause that appeals to the intellect of the American people. We have a cause that appeals to the hearts of the people, and for every democrat who goes away from his party because of It's attitude on the money question, because of it's opposition to bond is- sues, and because it is in favor of con- trolling and suppressing trusts in tbis country, we expect sixteen people to take his place GA voice in the crowd, Sixteen to one.)
 Sixteen to one has several meanings. but one of the meanings of IS to 1, and the one which our opponents fear most, is that we will get sixteen men for every one we will lose. (Cheers and laughter.) You people here have dis cussed bond issues. want to ask you. my friends, whether the citizens of this 1 county who must be taxed to pay every dollar of the s262, 100000 of bonds issued --the woKkingmen, the lahoring men, the wealth-producing class, the busi- ness men-have not as much right to protest by their votes against bond is- sues as the syndipates have to fasten that policy upon the government for another administration. If we must lose the democrats who have profited by bond issues why ought we not to gain republicans who have suffered and will suffer by those issues? Are there any republicans in this crowd here? Are there any men in this crowd who have been republicans? Shouts of tYes!)
 If there are any republicans who are going to vote the democratic ticket lift up your hands. Slaughter and an upraising of hands.) I am glad to know that. Now, I commend you to go out as missionaries and to bring. this doctrine before all the people of our country. This is peculiar cam paign. It is developing more public speaking than any campaign that we have 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 a fifty-cent dollar. It will be a new experience to people to be troubled with any kind of a dol- lar.
 We do not expect the silver dollar to be fifty-cent dollar. We expect that with the opening of our hints to free silver every ounce of it will be worth $12a.''
 A number of questions bearing on the main issue of the campaign were put to MT Bryan by his hearers, his reply in each bringing cheers from the crowd.
 Meanwhile Mrs. Bryan leaned out of the window of the car and distributed flowers from bouquets that had been presented her. Men and women fought for the blossoms and the scramble was at it's height when the train moved out, followed by tremendous cheering. The next stop was at Geneva, where several hundred people were gathered and more handshaking and cheering took place.
 Madison furnished unique reception which MT. Bryan seemed to enjoy hear tily. The members of the Madison Me- Kinley club bearing their banner and wearing Mckinley badges marched up to the train and gave three hearty cheers for the republican candidate. The train moved out before there was an opportunity for anything further and the democratic nominee waved his hat at his enthusiastic opponents.
