 Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 15.-In his speech here MT. Bryan said: T am in hearty accord with the declarations (Cheers.) Sometimes people have de- platforms of railroad coaches, made to get in on, but not to stand on after you get in But that is not my idea of a party platform I have been reared in that school of democracy which taught that the officer who for a short time exercised the authority conferred by law was the servant of those for whom he labored and that they have right to prescribe his course of couduct. (Applause)
 The adoption of platforms is the recognition of the right of the people to instruct their public servants. It is a recognition of the fact that public officers are elected not to think for the people upon the great issues, but to act for the people after they themselves have thought (Applause.) If I am elected I will take it for granted that the people are in favor of the policies for which I at this time stand and the people shall never have cause to com plain of my desertion of the cause which I advocate. Cheers long con- tinued applause and a voice: Whats the matter with Joe Blackburn?"
 MT. Bryan-t'Joe Blackburn is where he is always--in the front of every fight. (Great applause)
 stIt seems to me this campaign dem- onstrates more than any recent cam paign the power of the people to gov ern themselves. (Cheering.1 In ordi- nary times people let the machinery control but in times of great emergen-
 
 sovereign right to conduct public af- fairs. (Cheers.) The democratic par ty has proved in the recent campaign the capacity of the people to do what they please in a measure which con- cerns them. We entered upon a great contest in the democratic party in which democrats differed; some be- lieved in gold standard, and some be- lieved in the free coinage of silver and these classes of democrats went before the primaries throughout the states to determine before the people them- selves what should be the policy of the democratic party.
 We believe that a majority of the party has right to control the policy of the party Not only the right to control the policy of the party, but the right to retain the party name by so controlling it. (Applause.) The battle was fought at Chicago and in a. regular way the majority of the democrats of this union declared for the immediate restoration of free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the consent or aid of any other nation" Applause O~
 Versailles, Ky, Sept 15.-The rain was falling heavily when Bryan's spe- cial car reached the town of Midway at 11:30 and the people who were ex- pecting a speech from the candidate were disappointed on account of the weather.
 MT Bryan, Senator Blackburn, Ma B. he others in the presidential nominees party were transferred to special train on the Southern railway in which they proceeded to Versailles.
 MT Bryan reached Versailles at 1920 A band was at the station playing "Old Kentucky Home" when his train came in and with that in the lead and followed by a troop of horsemen he was escorted to stand erected on a beautiful thoroughfare. Here MT Bryan spoke to several hundred peo- ple and then went off to Senator Blackburn residence, where pan- quet was served to a large party.
 MT. Bryan, Senator Blackburn and a big party of democrats from Louisville and other places in this state reached Lexington from Versailles at p. m. and were met by State Senator Bron- ston, chairman of the democratic cen tral committee, and a number of local supporters of the Chicago ticket A procession a mile long, composed of Bryan and Sewall clubs and a thou sand horsemen, escorted MT. Bryan to the fair grounds, where he was given an ovation by a crowd variously esti- mated at 12,O0O to 20,00O
 Mir. Bryan made a speech. Just after he had begun to speak a, heavy shower drove many of the spectators from the field. but their places were taken by a continuous stream of constantly arriv- ing people. In the middle of the speech 500 equestrians passed the stand car rying banners, and interrupted Mir. Bryan in his talk, making a very i'm pressive sight. They cheered him time
