Way Business in This Campaign,
A Splendid Gathering Of Farmers
at Lexington.
Lexington, Ky, September 15.-Ken-
lucky hospitality and Southern enJhusi-
asm were showered upon William Jen-
nings Bryan to-day in his trip in the
Blue Grass region. The greatest dem
onsration rendered him in the South
was at Lexington, where he addressed
1900 to 10000 people al the fair
grounds.
A procession, unique in its character
and impressive TO a large degree, passed
before him as he was on the speakers
stand. The farmers of the surrounding
counties got into Lexington early this
morning, and came in typical Southern
way. riding the entire distance on horses.
While Mr.. Bryan was addressing the au-
diance. the horsemen were seen entering
the gates 10 the fair grounds, riding in
double file and carrying appropriate
Democratic campaign banners. 1t took
% minutes for The 2O,0C0 people TO file
past the nominee and very one OF these
tried 10 Guido mis- neighbor IN yelling
and cheering.
Mr.. Bryan spoke to the farmers, and
il was a speech intended for farmers.
4.I1 -, Ios bn n
piled The name Of anarchist to the bone
and muscle of this country We're doing
more 10 overthrow our government than
any anarchist who aver carried a red
flag, and this statement created the
greatest enthusiasm.
L was nearly o'clock when Mr..
Bryan arrived At the Driving Park. His
appearance was the signal for ,Ae great
est applause. II was introduced 20 the
audience by the Hon. c. J Bronson.
State Senator and candidate for Con-
gress. Mr. Bryan's speech was devoted
entirely 10 the silver question on much
the same lines as former addresses. He
was interrupted by tle proc ssion pass
ing by the stand for % minutes. When
il had passed, he continued:
Fellow Ci,iZens:-I have been inter-
rupted in me midst of speeches before,
bu. 7 can say that this is the most pleas
an. interruption OF which I have recol-
lection. (Applause) I shall remember
this speech which was cut in two by the
most remarkable parade which il mas
ever been my good fortune 10 witness.
tApplause.) And they bore banners
which present motto which make any
further speaking unnecessary. If l
were 10 talk 10 YOU from now until night
| could not more than emphasize the
notices which have passed in procession
before YOU (Applause.0
[ notice Cne motto. drawn with let
t-rs. not altogether according 10 the lat
est patterns, but il presented a senti-
ment that ought TO find a lodgment in
the memories Of all. that is, High Mon
ey, Low Times" (Applause) | chal-
lenge YOU to find in any of the speeches
that will be made this year by the op-
pOnen,s of free silver a single sentence
that contains as much of political econ
Omy and common sense as is contained
in that phrase. High Money, Low
/ Wages" (Applause) It seems that the
things which are hidden from those who
were in themselves all wis. are revealed
untO those who in the estimation of the
fnaciers. are but babes and sucklings.
| saw another motto: "Our Barns Are
Full. But Our Pockets Are Empty"
(applause) and in that sentence is eDi-
tOmi2ed twenty years of farming his
tory.
Nature smiles upon your husbandry.
your soil gives forth in rich profusion.
but according to the experience of the
farmer with all that he can do with
his industry. with his economy. with all
his patient toll, he fi1ds that the load
of the American farmer grows harder
every year. (ApplaUse) In olden
times. under the rule of those who
waved and swept the saher as they
said by right divine. complaint was
answered with the ash. but now the
just complaint of the tOil.ng millions
Of the United States is answered by
| charges that they are anarchists and
socialists. Great app!aUse) My
friends, there is one unfortunate thing
in connection with the use Of the word
"Anarchis;' as applied to those who
are banded together to restore the
money Of the constitution. Anarchy is
a thing not 10 be considered in land
like this Anarchy can have no home
among the people who have the ballot
10 right their wrongs. (App,ausel.
And the unfortunate thing about this
campaign is that when the name an
urch.st is applied to the bone and
muscle of this country by men who are
doing more to overthrow our govern
ment than any anarchist who ever car
ried a red flag: l say that when this
word 2narchiSt is applied to the toling
millions by men who SEX without toll
N usurn the fruits and reap the re-
wards of those who toll. the danger is
that il will make the name respectable
bec9use of its association. (Uproarlous
apDlause and loud cheering).
nrofest against the use Of that name
FOR The purpose which depfives t OF all
ire torrors. Ny friends. those who are
onnosad ~ rs cannot afford 10 place the
sar,,,ers Of his country and The laborers
of fbi,s country in the position of enc
mics of the government because 'Aey
are The only friends that any govern
ment ever had. (Applause).' MY irlehGs'
these very men who are abused ana a.
snised nv those who doubt me capacity
Of g'5Ie tbe masses for se,f-goyernment, these
