THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
'Tadies and gentlemen: In this cap
ital Of West Virginia, desire to ex-
press my thanks for the very cordial
welcome which has been extended TO
me by the members Of the Triple Al

fering among themselves ON minor

AWAKE AND AT WORK.
Our people are awake and they are
at work. They are thinking and after
thinking comes action and, my friends,
you may depend upon it that while
a majority Of the people may some
times be wrong, yet there is no safer
dependence than the vote, the express
ed opinion, Of a majority of the people
Of this country. 1 believe that in this
campaign, we are entitled to the sup
port Of all political parties who believe
still in a government Of the people,
by the people and for the people.
(Cheers.) We may differ upon the ap-
piication of fundamental principles to
the various questions which arise. We
may differ in opinion upon policies sug-
gested by various parties but, my
friends, whenever any party in this ma
ton denies the ability of the nation
to have such a financial policy as the
American people want to have, then
other questions disappear and we stand
united to vindicate the right OF self
REPUBLICAN BOLTERS.
''Those who have been Republicans
in the past, those who have voted the
ticket from the time the
party was organized, find ample ex-
cuse for departing from that party this
year. Go back to 1883 and you will
find that the Republican party declared
for gold and silver as standard money
and even went so far as to denounce
the Democratic party for trying to de-
monetize silver. (Applause.) Read
that platform, adopted by the Republi-
can convention in 1888. and see how it
fired the indignation of the people
against the Democratic administration
because thar administration had been
bostile to silver and on that platform
The Republican party won the election.
In 1892 the national convention Of the
Republican party declared that the
American people, from tradition and
were n favor Of bimetailism.
If the Republicans who believe in BIZ
netallism are determined to punish the
party, am perfectly will

ENTITLED TO VOTES.
'T say we are entitled to the votes Of
silver Republicans. We are entitled
10 the votes OF the Populists also "a
voice: And you will get them" because,
while a large majority OF the Demo-
srats have always been for the free
coinage of silver at is to and while a
arge majority of the Republicans have
al along been for free coinage at 16 to
|, the Popugists deserve the credit OF
being the first party to mention the ra-
ion of Is to 1 as the proper ratio.
MY friends, one OF the best evidences
hat the position taken in this cam
1aigu is a correct one. Is found in the
act that all the great trusts and cor
ooratfons are against the success Of our

proof that the American people win be

Mr.. Bryan closed his speech with an
exhaustive argument for free coinage.
