ARRAYINa OF GLASSES.

| ARRAYINa OF GLASSES.
| Lincoln, Neb.-In the course of his
speech here Mr.. Bryan said:
"Talk about arraying one class against
another. want to ask you why it is that
every Democrat who is interested in q
syndicate or a trust or has salary from
railroad corporation that is more than
his other property, want to ask why
they are all arrayed against the Demo
cratic party9 Why is it? 1t is because
the Democratic party has declared against
this issue of bonds in time of peace and
the traftioking with syndicates. 1t is be
cause the Democratic party is opposed to
the trusts and the prices which The trusts
have instituted. 1t is because the Demo
cratic party believes in the control, regu
lntion and the restriction of all corpora
tions, that they may serve the purpose
for which they are allowed to exist.
"If those connected with trusts are
focking together in the Republican party
may we not appeal to all the smaller bust
ness men, who have felt the iron heel oi
the trust and who have been driven out
of business by it's unlawful competition
If we are to lose all the attorneys of these
great trusts, may we not appeal with con.
fdence to the support of the people who
have been plundered by these trusts, while
their attorneys have received part of the
plunderf These are responsible for the
arraying of one class against another.
These people have defined the foundation
of all business to be not the producers OF
wealth but the exchangers of wealth, or
those who try to corner wealth, and they
are trying to array them against the rest
of the people.
"The Republican platform in the state
of New York said that we ought to have a
business administration, conducted by
business men in behalf of the business in
terests of the country. What do they
mean by that? Do they call the farmers
business men? Oh, no; they simply pro-
duce wealth. But if a man goes on the
board of trade and makes more in an hour
betting on the price of what you raise,
than you make in a year, be becomes a
business man.
"Those people who have attempted to
array few of the people against the rest
of the people and who have insisted that
the affairs of this government should be
put in tho hands of few-when we have
complained, what euphonious names they
have given to us. They have been calling
us disturbers of the public peace, and they
have called us anarchists, my friends.
"My friends, these terms simply express
the contempt which they have for the
great mass of the people of this country.
These names they call us simply prove
that they are not willing to trust the des-
TIMES of this republic in the hands of the
people who have created it's wealth in
times of peace and who fought its battles
in times of war.
"Show me the people who now call us
anarchists and will show you class of
people, who, if we had a war, would never
60 to the front, but they are the very peo-
pie who slander those who fight the bat
ties to save their own property"
SITUATION AT M'K1NLEY's HOME.
Pueblo, Colo. o.-Evidence is constantly
accumulating that Mckinley will have
the fight of his life to carry his own state
this fall for the gold standard. Personal
letters written without the expectation of
publication express unbiased views of
the situation. One received here yester-
day by former resident of Ohio gives
the greatest encouragement to the advo-
Gates of free silver. 1t was written in
Tuscarawas county which adjoins Stark
county wherein Canton is located. The
home of the writer ia not more than four
teen milesfrom Canton. He is in posi-
tion where he comes in closest contact with
the people. Furthermore, as will be
seen from the letter, he is not one of
those who do not see the obstacles in the
path. Therefore his opinions are deserv-
ing OF weight. He says:
"You ask me what think of Ohio.
You know 1 am Democrat or 'Popo.
crat' and may take too rosy view of
the situation. If the election we're to be
held September Is Bryan would carry
Ohio by 10000, but great changes may
take place before November.
"They tell us that the silver sentiment
is dying out in this state. We can't get
a goldbug to stand up and argue any
more, and there is no fun in talking where
we are all on one side. know from
personal knowledge that Canton is the
hottest silver city in the state. They
have five Bryan clubs with member
ship of from 300 to 600 each.
"a man to man poll of our township,
which went ten for Mckinley for COVER
nor, shows Bryan to have fifty maturity,
and about thirtysix in doubt with Bry-
ans chances good for more than half.
This is about how it runs over the county.
"There are some gold democrats, but
not enough to do any harm. Nearly all
our gains would come from the farmers.
predict that we will give them the
hardest fight they ever had in this state
with good chances for victory.
"Hanna's money may upset some OF
our calculations, but don't think he can
do much outside of the large towns. The
bosses don't realize how strong the silver
movement is in the rural districts and
think they will get surprise.
"About half way from here to Canton
there is little postoffice called Bancroft.
Last week they put up pole 1876 feet in
length and had a meeting. I went up.
The road was lined with rigs for half q
mile each way, all farmers. That's the
way its dying out"
