RIPLEY. N. Y, Aug. 31.-At Chau-
tauGua, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were driv
en- about the grounds and the buildings
pointed out and described as well as
the system of education. The party
stopped at he residence of Coleman E.
BISHOP, former editor Of the New York
Judge. and the Buffalo Express, who is
one Of the Chautauqua Republicans
who viii support Mr.. Bryan.
After leaving Mr.. Bishops. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan drove to Prospect park,
where ldr. Bryan. despite his asser-
ton that he would not speak, made a
three-ninute speech to 500 people. He
said his visit had no political signifi-
canoe. When he found he was so near
Chautauqua he could not withstand the
temptation Of visiting the place He
said he had a great regard for the
work done at ChautauQua. and that the
Chautauqua platform was broad
enough to allow the discussion Of all
questions. He thanked the people for
assembling. AS he drove away, he was
given the ChautauQuan salute which
is the waving Of handkerchiefs.
Mayville, which is the home of Judge
Albion W. Tourgee, who is at present
stumping for Major Mckinley was
reached at 1890 a. m. Mr.. Bryan spoke
here from the balcony of the hotel to
400 and his reference to Judge Tour
gees books caused laughter from the
crowd that heard him.
He said that Mr.. jefferson had the
correct idea when he said that govern
ments were founded liz jealousy, not in
c0Efdence-that confidence was every
wGhre the parent of despotisn;
SHOW NE A PEOPLE"
said Mr.. Bryan, ''who are so confident
in their leaders that they take no part
s-, 1a orr
show you a people whose leaders look
out for themselves and not the inter
ests Of all the people. Show me a peo-
pie who, instead Of having too much
confidence ara Jealous of their liberties
are watchful Of their servants, and
careful as to the policies proposed by
the different varieties and [ will show
you a people hat have d good gov
ernment" (Cheersl
''1n this campaign parties come to
you with their platforms outlining
what they viii do. and in this cam
paign there is one great question which
overshadows all others-the money
question. On this question the two
leading parties take positions entirely
antagoplstic 10 each other. The Re
publican party declares in its platform
that the gold standard must be main
TAPPED until the leading commercial ma
ti0Fs ioin with us in substituting BIZ
nletallisn for The gold standard. They
don't say that a gold standard is good.
burt simply that we must continue it
until other nations help us to secure
something which the Republican plat
form admits to be better; namely, BIZ
metallism.
Now. the Democratic party takes an
entirely different position. Heretofore
it has been too much the custom for
both parties TO take ambiguous posi-
lions and to straddle the question. This
year they did net do that The Repub-
licau party has declared for the main
Atenance Of the geld standard until other
nations come to our relief The Demo-
cratic party declared for the innme6i-
ate restoration Of the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of gold and silver at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
foreign nation on earth. That makes
the issue. The Democratic party says
that
BIMETALLISM IS DESIRABLE,
and that it is desirable right now. and
that it Sc not only a good thing, but it
: is a good thing which cannot come too
higEtFor the American people. Cheers
at not only says that bilnetallism is
q good thing, but that we ought to
have It right now. What else does it
Go2 In order that nobody may mis-
- understand, IL declare that the people
who are to secure bimetallism are the
American people themselves. and thai
we are not justified in waiting one sin
gle day for a foreign nation to come To
our help. The Democratic platform de
clares that the American people should
restore bimetailisgn for themselves
whether other nations aid US and con-
ih Or NOT ((Nbna7c
Il want you 10 think over this money
question and find out how it will affect
yea. You have just as much right tc
find out how it affects you as any other
class Of Our people-as those who are
engaged in negotiating with the gov
eminent for the sale Of bonds on which
the people have to Fay interest. The
