ence 1 am glad to see him do so, but when
an employer violates the rights Of his em-
ployes by demanding that they shall
march in parades or wear certain badges,
the employe has right to take advantage
of the secret ballot. am willing to let the
public sit in judgment upon the advice
which have given to employees If Mr.. In
gals and Mr.. Harrison are willing to sub
init their advice to the people. am willing
that the public shall decide
whether it is Immoral for
people to vote according to their
consciences IL Mr. Harrison and Mr.. In
gals are willing to stand on the position
they have taken, namely: That employees
must vote republican tickets on election
day, because they had worn republican
badges during the campaign"
Rockford, ILL.,, Oct. 2l.-Four or five
thousand people, including large numbers
of farmers, and their families who drove
into town from the surrounding country.
heard Mr.. Bryan in the fair grounds at
Kewanee at noon. In his speech Mr..
Bryan said: 1--WE have had 16 to / exem-
plified and illustrated In various ways as
we have passed from place to place.
Sometimes we have been greeted by six
teen little girls dressed In white and one
little girl dressed In yellow, sometimes
a carriage has been pulled by sixteen white
horses and one yellow horse, and in n
number of places we have received flowers
where the bouquet has been composed OF
sixteen white flowers and one yellow one,
but I understand that in this county you
have the 16 to ratio represented in a much
more practical and effective way than we
have found IL representa- anywhere else.
You have one family in this county with
sixteen persons who have heretofore voted
the republican Ticket all OF whom Will
vote for free silver this year at l6 to ].
(Cheers) And when the family has been
republican before. why it counts, you
know, at the bullion ratio, because when
we have vote from the other side II
counts two, so in this family 1t really
means the bullion ratio of 81 to !. (Great
cheering). Now, 1 am not surprised that
people who have been republicans all
their lives are this year deserting the re-
publican party because the republican
party has taken a new position.
''They are standing by their convictions,
and they say that they are not leaving
their party, that their party has left them,
but the democrats who go from us TO the
republican party on the money question
have to desert the history of the demo-
cratic party because our party has stood
for bimetallism, for the use of gold and
silver as standard money, during its ex-
istence. / say therefore, that when re-
publican comes to us he stin has convic-
tions that he used to have. When
democrat leaves he has got TO change h'a
convictions and go over and denounee-an
he used to love, and love what he used
to hate"
The most persistent attempt made dur
ing Mr.. Bryans tour to create a demon
stration against him occurred at a lit
tie place called Galva, where the train
halted few minutes just after leaving
Kewanee. About 200 people were there.
They were fresh from imbbing repubn-
can doctrine administered by the five eN>
governors of Illinois, who are travelling
through the state with John r.. Tanner.
The Tanner special train, with its fiat
car containing a cannon had passed Mr..
Bryan's special earlier In the day. A sa-
lutte was fired, and the governors deluged
the Bryan train with republican literature
as they passed by. Cheers for Mckinley
were given as Mr.. Bryan stepped out 10
greet the gathering at Galva, and the can
didate responded with, us there anybody
here who thinks that the gold standard
Is the best thing?"
Cries of Eyes" and mo" followed
Mr. Bryan repated his question and got
an immediate answer from an elderly man
who was very much excited and shouted
at the top Of his voice: I'VE have coined
twice as much silver since the demonetlza-
tion act as there ever was from the time
of Jefferson to 49," and the crowd cheered.
"How much silver are we colning nowY'
demanded the candidate
There was no response and he went on
II want those who say that gold is a good
thing to hold up some gold; hold UP your
gold, some of you"
Just then the train began to move and
Mr.. Bryan called back: MY friend, look
out for the gold man without any gold"
The crowd cheered, but whether for Nc
Kinley or Bryan was not evident.
Rock Island, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-The twin cit
les Of Moline and Rock Island, with the
assistance Of many people from Daven-
port, just across the Mississippi, in Iowa,
held joint celebration OF Mr.. Bryan's
coming this afternoon. Speeches had
been made at all these places by Mr..
Bryan on his trip from Lincoln to New
York, I'm August, but evidently there had
been no cessation of interest in the dem
ocratic candidate, for at least 10000 peo-
pie gathered 10 hear him at point mid
way between Moline and Rock Island
Vice President Stevenson was also pres
ent and made short speech when Mr.
Bryan had concluded.
Mr. Bryan said, in part: 1--WE have an
unique spectacle this year In American
politics. We have had an administration
carried on by a man elected by the demo-
Gratis of the United states, and when tic
democratic convention met TINS year tHey
refused to indorse the policy of the al
mlnistration on the financial question.
They, In effect, repudiated the pol
icy OF their own administra
ton and declared In favor OF a
reversal 81 that policy, and then the re-
publican party comes to the defense Of
repudiated democrat and they tell you that
Grover Cleveland was right and that Mr..
Mckinley will continue his policy for four
years more. (Cheers.)
That Is what the republican platform
says II says that the existing gold stand
ard must be maintained and when 1t says
that, II means that you must continue
the only means by which that standard
can be maintained, say there will be
more bonds II the gold standard is main
talned DO you say there win not be? l
ask you why the republican convention
did not denounce the issue OF bonds BY
this administration? 1t Is because the
leaders of the republican party
were approving OF the bond Is
sues I'm the past and viii |
continue bonds issues in the future. |
(Cheers) Under this financial policy the |
money in actual circulation among the |
people has decreased S15O,000.OO0 in two |
years. Under this policy the people who |
nay taxes have been burdened with an in- |
