me, and that is. If am elected ne viii
not come down and tell me he has help

that plank of the platform which de-
olares for the arbitration OF differences
between railroads and their employees,
There is another advantage which
shall derive from his opposition if / ann
elected. He will not come down to
washington and want me to use my
executive influence against that bill
that passed the senate which attempted
to protect the people from the employ
ment OF federal troops by Injunction.
MY friends, there is one great con-
ISOLATION that / find in the opponents
that have arrayed themselves against
me, and that is if am not to have their
aid In this campaign, 1 won't have their
domination after the campaign is over.
But, my friends, our platform has
declared that the paramount issue OF
I this campaign is the money question
/ and I believe it is true. The Republi-
can party IN convention assembled, has
declared that this nation must continue
| its present financial policy utl foreign
nations join with us in abandoning II.
The Democratic platform declares IN
favor of an American financial policy.
MKINLEY'S TURN.
Mr.. Bryan then read an extract which
he said was from a speech by Mckinley
in Ohio, on February II, 1891, CRITICS.
ing the financial policy of Mr.. Cleve-
land and said:
'1Iy friends, the Republican candidate
in that speech at Toledo, Showed that
he understood then the fundamental
principles which underlie the money
question, viz: That the value OF the
dollar depends on the number OF dol
lars. He recognized then that you can
make dollars dearer by iessening their
number. He recognized then that you
could raise the purchasing power OF
dollar by law, and 10y law reduce the
value Of all kinds OF property. He
recognized then that the legislation for
the gold standard made money the mas
ter and all things else the servant, and
we have q right to conclude that since
he has advocated that policy, he be-
Heves that money should be the mas
ter and that al things else should be
the servant"
ENDS WITH A ROAST.
Mr.. BRYAN continued with a lengthy
and most severe denunciation or the
gold standard, and the Republican
party and then said:
81 have respect for the man who has
convictions, who states those convlc-
ticns and stands by those convictions.
1 respect the Republicans who stand
openly and above board for the Repub-
lican ticket, but, my friends, shall not
attempt to disguise the feelings which
entertain towards those who, having
failed to control the Democratic party,
seek still to claim the Democratic name,
vino having failed to control the Demo
cratic organization, start out with
new organization which they call
truer Democratic organization"
When Mr.. Bryan had finished he
showed signs of exhaustion. Mr.. Sew
all, the candidate for vice-president,
was introduced and while many of the
audience were leaving, made a few re-
marks of thanks for the reception. Many
people crowded upon the stand to Snake
hands with the candidates.
OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN.
Notwithstanding the steady downpour
there was an immense assemblage in
front of Tammany hall and a sea of UNI
brellas met the gaze of those who had
the temerity to brave the storm and
emerge from the comfortable committee
rooms out on the two stands erected on
each side of the entrance to the wigwam.
A band of musicians helped to entertain
the drenched but enthusiastic people
who listened to brief addresses by Con-
gresham Livingston Of Georgia and
Congressman A. M. Cummings on the
advantage of free coinage of silver.
The large crowd seemed to think Mr.
Bryan, Notwithstanding the elements,
would not depart from Tammany haI
without making an address, however,
brief, and they hravely stood their
ground till about half past nine o'clock
when Afr. Bryan finished his address in
the hail of the old wig-wam and. escort
ed by ex-Comnlissionero of Charities T.
y. brennan and Senator Bernard L,
Martin, made his way to the council
chambers on the ground floor, accom-
PARSED by Viye Presidential Candidate
Sewall.
THEY SHOW THEMSELVES.
But both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Sewan
seemed worn out and the heat inside
the hall appeared 70 have affected both
gentlemen. 1t was evident that the ora
torical efforts of Mr.. Bryan within the
past few days had done some mischief
and there seemed no doubt that, even
though the wea Their had been favorable.
he would have been unable to carry out
his irtenron of speaking at the other
stands. After a brief rest, Police In
spector Brooke with some difficulty
cleared a paSsageway for the candida
and led him out on the east stand in
front Of the hall. AS soon as the crowd
caught sight Of Mr.. Bryan a mighty
shout went up. umbrellas were fran
tioally waved and cheer after cheer was
given the candidate. Mr.. Bryan, how
ever, had made up his mind TO make
no remarks. but made a simple ac-
knowt edgnPent Of the greeting by taking
off his hat TO the cheering crowds. after
which he crossed the hail TO the west
stand and repeated the bowling and was
given another ovation. After this he
and Mr.. Sewau were led TO their car
riaSes and driven 10 the Union Square |
