He wants those who are going to vote
for the advancement of our peoples in
terests and general prosperity TO display
the American flag. My friends, we be-
lieve that the free coinage of silver, the
opening Of the minis for the free COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 TO ] with
out waiting for the aid Or consent OF any
other nation on earth, means the ad-
vance,nent OF the interests of the people
and Of general prosperity, and therefore
we can join with these men in displaying
the American flag, and let it be known
to the country that we are standing by
the flag and we are not asking foreign
nations what that flag snail mean.
FOR THREE REASONS.
81 join in the request for three rea-
sons: first, because everything he asks
in that letter we believe in and therefore
we have as much right to display the
American flag on that day as any Re
publican has, and We believe that we
have a good deal more moral right to
do it in this campaign. / join in the let
ter for another reason. | do not want
them to mark the advocates of free sill
yer for slaughter on that day. i do not
want employees 10 go about over your
town and throughout the country and
find out who has a flag in his window
and then threaten to discharge any man
who does not say he is going to vote the
Republican ticket.
My friends, IL coercion is going to
be attempted, for heavens sake let it
not be attempted by using the flag as
a means Of pointing out the men TO be
threatened. If they want 10 find out
who shall beslaughtered, let them take
some other emblem than the nation S
emblem under which to do their nefari-
Gus work. There is another reason
why I join in that request. / want
some flags to float on that day which
do not mean a government by syndi-
Gates and for syndicates. l want some
flags to float on that day that do not
stand for the right of a coal trust 10
send representative to every fireside
and collect from every family in this
land. 1 want some flags TO float on that
day that do not stand for the opinions
of those who say that if the majority
of the people Will decide a certain way

whether they viii submit to the decis-

on that day which have behind them

$50, my friends, 1 want to ask all adj
vocates of silver TO bring out the flag
on that day. I want them to put it
into their homes and in their places
of business and if need be. 10 carry it
upon the streets, and let our opponents
know that we do not intend TO surren-
der that ensign and emblem into the
hands of the enemies of the people OF
this country" Great applause and
AS enthusiastic an audience as Mr..
Bryan has addressed for some time
was at Wapakoneta when the special
train pulled into that place The houses
in the vicinity Of the City hotel, in
front of which the stand had been
erected, were decorated with flags and |
bunting and pictures of the candidate.
As soon as Mr.. Bryan was seen emerg-
ing from the car the crowd cheered him
wildly. His speech was punctuat ted
by rounds of cheers and his
admirers continually expressed approx
a. of his ideas. He spoke on the same
fines as he had used often before dis |
cussing the money question.
Dayton, o.. Oct. 19.-The largest |

Piqua. There were a great many yell |

minutes here was devoid of new fea- |
lures, as was the one at Troy a half |
hour later.
