KANSAS CITY, July 17.--Wllllam J..
Bryan, the Democratic presidential
nominee, wlthshis wife and family, re-
sumed the Journey to Lincoln, Neb.., this
morning, leaving The city over the Bur-
llngton road on q regular passenger,
train. A hard rain was falling as the
party was driven from the hotel TO the
depot and but few people were on hand
to sc the distinguished guests depart. II.
L. Harmon, city passenger agent OF the
rendered the press repre-.
sentatives special car for the temaln-
der OF The trip;
AT every station between Kansas City
and st, Joseph there were crowds Of
citizens who cheered the nominee. AT
each place Mr.. Bryan shook hands with
the enthusiastic people. 1t was 1880
when the train reached st. Joe, where
between 5000 and 1000 people were at
the railway station to meet the train
bearing the free silver orator. The
crowd ,cheered with marvellous Nenthusi-
asm. Every telegraph pole. railway
train, building and elevation of any sort
was crowded with people anxious TO see
and hear Mr.. Bryan speak. Upon being
introduced, Mr.. Bryan said:
Ladies. and gentlemen.-I believe that
this Is u larger crowd than we had when
we had our silver meeting here In Mo-.
vember last. I don't know whether to
regard it as an evidence that curiosity
has increased or as an evidence that the
silver cause has grown since Noyem-
Der. q (Applause. I have been very
much gratifed to find the inter-
est which the people are taking
in this campaign. ] am not vain enough
to assume that these demonstrations are
intended as personal compliment" E
a A2volce-"Yes, they are" q
Mr.. Brynn-.1Or rather as an indlca-
tion Of that respect; that we find In the
hearts of the American people for our
government and those who for. the time
being stand as the representatives OF our
government, and those who aspire to
public positions OF prominence in the nd.
OF that government, and,
my friends, whenever 1 think OF govern
ment 1 think OF the words OF Andrew.
Jackson that there are no necessary
evils in government; that Its evils exist
only; in its abuses.
when we declare against some law
as unjust, when we Hcritlcise policy, It
must not, be considered as an attack
upon the government, and yet there arc
some who would ldcn0unce every person
who seeks to reform and every person
who seeks to change a bad custom.
"Why, the men who denounce agita-i
tlon denounce the principles that under-
lie our,form Of government, and the only
methods OF redress left to O free people.
(Great applause.)
Agitation OF the Agitntor.
Agitation is the only means by which
politics can be brought before the people,
and when people denounce agitation
upon any subject they must remember
that agitation has Its cause, and the
cause Is In abuse and the only way to re-
move agitation IS to remove the abuse
and give people no Just cause for COM
plant. This agitation OF the money
question arises out of vicious system
Of finance that has not had In view the
welfare OF the great masses Of the peo-
plea system OF finance which has allow;
ed q few to gain an unjust advantage
over the many, and the result Of agita-
tlon, Is to restore the gold and silver coln-
age Of the. constitution and to place Sill
yer back by the side of gold as one Of the
metals OF this country. Great
applause). But I am not here to discuss
political questions. It Is hard to talk at
this time without touching upon that
subject which is uppermost In the minds
OF our citizen, and I desire simply on
this occasion to express the qualification
which, I feel In the presence OF so large q
OF people and to leave wlthtyou
that advice which feel It Is the duty OF
each of us tojlcave with each other, the
advice that the people. not n few, bear,
he responsibilities which rest upon cit!-
yens. ] know not what will be the result
of this campaign, 1t rests with you. But
I want to assure you that If by your
suifrages am elected to the highest
honor;wlthin the gift OF man, I shall be
as anxious that you crlticise me II 1sgo
lstray from my duty as / am that YOU
shall stand by me whenlI give express
sion 10 the wishes OF the common people
1f the United States" (Great applause.
