nee. Mr.. Bryan left Cincinnati on a
special OF the Baltimore and Ohio at 4
O'Clock this morning. The car was in
charge of Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioned Cantren Of Illinois and Allen
W. Clark, state committeeman OF Indi-
son OF Kentucky.
Lawrenceburg was reached at 7:35.
and the platform erected near the depot
was surrounded by great crowd Of
expectant and enthusiastic people.
They cheered the nominee as he made
his way from the car TO the platform.
GETTING UP EARLY.
Mr.. Chairman and ladies and gem
tlemen: This is commencing the days
work pretty early. but we have TO make
UP in public speaking and in hard work
what we lack in newspapers and cam
paign funds for the circulation OF liter
AZURE. Therefore We have 10 get up
earlier than our opponents and believe
that most of US are better acquainted

anyhow. AS I came upon the stand
met a gentleman who said he had been
a Republican but he was going 10 vote
for silver this year. That has got TO
be quite common phrase. do not go
into any community without finding
that there will be Republicans who have
boosted of their fidelity TO the Republi-
can party from the time of Fremont or
Lincoln until this year. But this year
is different.
FINDS A REASON FOR IT.
There is reason for these changes.
There is a reason why men who have
hoped that the Republican party would
obtain relief from present financial con-
Gitions-there is a reason why these
men this year have TO look elsewhere
for remedial legislation. The Repub-
hcan party has men holding out a pros
pect for bimetallism. 1t has been de-
clared that the American people. from
tradition and interest, desire bimetal-
hSm. But this year the Republican
party says that, while the American
people may desire IT, they can not have
it until other nations bring 1t TO them.
(Applause) That is the new doctrine.
want you to remember that il is the
q LII -. ss-r-
that any great party ever proposed
that the legislation OF this country
should be dependent upon the Will OF
people in foreign countries. (Applause)
A READY-MADE SYSTEM.
'1The platform of the Republican party
says this year that bimetallism is de-
Sirable, because IL pledges the party TO
get il as soon as IT can get other nations
to help us. 1t tells US that the Ameri-
can people cannot have that desirable
thing. ! am not willing to believe that
the American people are going to ac-
oept their financial system ready-made
from abroad. Our opponents tell us that
the tariff issue is the great issue. Until
they put a prohibitory tariff on foreign
financial policies they cannot talk tariff
to me. Great applauSe.)
AZ want to impress upon your minds
that it is not sufficient to elect presi-
dent who is in favor of free coinage.
because the president can do nothing
until the bill reaches him, and the bill
cannot reach him unless the senate and
house are in favor of free coinage. The
senate is in favor of ii and the house
must be before free coinage can be
realized. / shall not be satisfied with
al T ant
that viii give you the free and unHmlt-
ed coinage Of silver without waiting for
the aid or consent OF any other nation"
NOT SIZE BUT NUMBER.
At Augusta there was another big
crowd in waiting. Mr.. Bryan said:
'sIvhe cause which we represent is not
a new cause. There is nothing expert
mental in the plan which We propose.
We are not trying to make the gold or
silver dollar larger or smaller. They
are to remain the same But We want
more of both than we have now. Gap
