prevent international bimetallism, toward
which all the efforts of the country should
be directed. But the majority ruled at
Chicago. Then what? Then their leading
men at Chicago organized another conven-
ton, and what did they do? Did they
adopt platform they tried to
get adopted at Chicago. oh. no.
When they got down to Indianap-
oils they threw off the mask and declared
in favor of the gold standard What does
that mean? lit means the attempt at Chi
cago to commit the democratic party to
international bimetallism was a fraud and
deception practiced upon the party.
Great applause). And the fact that those
men who tried to get that sort of plat
form at>Chicago and failed, went down to
Indianapolis and then adopted gold stan
dard platform, Is a confession that when
they acted at Chicago, their purpose was
to deceive the American people. Great
applause)
1--WE are willing to fight the republican
party or anybody who opposes our posi-
ton and will come out and so state, but
when party, as at Indianapolis, puts up
one man for the purpose Of electing an
other, we declare they are no more honest
in their desire for bimetallism than they
are in the political methods. (Applause)
The convention at Indianapolis
was held in the interest of
republican success, and if they had cour-
age that ought to follow their convictions,
they would endorse Mckinley for whom
they expect to vote. Great applause)
They are attempting to get over into the
republican party by degrees. (Applause).
l have talked longer than 1 ought to in
the afternoon. (Cries of "go on.') You
will have to excuse me. l believe in all
the speaking 1 have ever done, this is the
only audience who stood out doors until
they wore out the rain. Great applause
and laughter).
Three speeches were made by William
]. Bryan before Milwaukee audiences to-
day. In the first the democratic candidate
scored those who took part in the gold con-
Vention at indianapolis, accusing them of
dishonesty intention in nominating a third
ticket. One of the other addresses was the
most sensational Mr.. Bryan has delivered
during the campaign. 1t was devoted al
most entirely to the government bond is
sues and teemed with implication of the
administration and the members of the
bond syndicate. He did not mention any
names but it was evident who he meant in
his denunciatory statement.
A heavy rain spoiled the afternoon
speech for half of those who attended the
Bryan meeting at National park. About
5000 people composed the audience and
| large segments of them broke and rar
when the rain became a down pour. The
other three thousand or so held tnen
| ground, and very uncomfortable ground
at that, and would not let the candidate
| cut his remarks short, as he said he want
| ed to do, despite the fact that nearly every
| body was drenched to the skin.
Both of to-night's meetings were helt
| in Schlitz park. The first address of Mr.
Bryan there was delivered in a small the
alter, in which 1900 people found seats
and another thousand crowded the aisle:
| and the spaces around the door. Outside
in the chill, damp night air were gathered
more than 5000 people, who were unable
| to gain admittance, and these Mr.. Bryal
| addressed after his indoor speech wa
concluded. Both audiences were liberal II
| applause and the utterances concerning
| the bond negotiations, which bordered OF
| the sensational were received with grea
cheering.
| During part of Mr.. Bryan's remarks il
| the theater there was much confusion an(
| shouting by those outside the door, an(
| the speaker was compelled to pause sew
eral times. For the first half hour of his
! speech considerable kissing was heard
| but it was not apparent whether thii
mark of disapproval was intended for Mr.
| Bryan or those who were causing the con
| fuSiOn.
