FULL BARNS AND EMPTY POCKETS.
A Catchy Motto Carried in the Pro-
cessiOn at Lexington.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 15.-Wiliam ].
Bryan was given a rousing reception here.
He made a speech at the fair grounds, to
an immense audience, estimated at from
1900 to 10000 The spacious grand stand,
said to hold 5000 people, was used by spec
tators to the extent of three-fourths OF
it's capacity. In the lower story, which
was packed with humanity, nearly all the
places were filled by men, while in the up
per story a majority of the on-Iookers
were women. On the track in front of the
kiosk-like judges stand. from which Mr..
Bryan made his address, several thousand
men and boys stood ankle deep in mud;
elsewhere, about the stand were a couple
of thousand more spectators.
Mr.. Bryan, Senator Blackburn, and
big party of democrats from Louisville
and other places in this state, reached
Lexington from Versailles over the South
ern railway at O'clock and were met by
State Senator c. ]. Bronston, chairman
of the democratic state central commit
tee, and a number of local supporters of
the Chicago ticket. A procession mile
long, composed of a Bryan and Sewah
club, and a thousand horsemen, most of
them mounted on spirited Kentucky thor
oughbreds, escorted Mr.. Bryan to the
fair grounds.
The appearance of the candidate was
the signal for an ovation. Men waived
their hats as they cheered and the women
waved handkerchiefs as they Joined in the
shouting. Mr.. Bryan was presented by
State Senator Bronson. Just after the
candidate had begun his speech a heavy
shower drove many of the spectators from
the field but their places were taken by
n continuous stream of constantly arriV-
ing people.
one of the pleasant incidents of the day
was the parade Of over eight hundred
horsemen, which passed the stand from
which Mr.. Bryan was speaking. In the
middle of his speech, the equestrians made
their appearance, carrying banners, and
interrupted Mr.. Bryan in his talk, max
ing a very impressive sight. They cheered
him time and again and fell in line at the
outskirts of the crowd and listened 10
the rest of his speech.
Mr. Bryan said in part: Nature smlles
unon your husbandry. Your soil gives
forth in rich profusion, but according 10
the experience of the farmer,~with all ne
can do with his industry, with his econo-
nv. with all his patient toll, he finds that
the load of the American farmer grows
harder every year. Great applause) IN
olden times, under the rule Of those VINO
waved and swept the saber as they sald
nv right divine complaint was answered
with the lash, but now the just complaint
of the toiling millions of the United states
is answered by charges that they are an
archists and socialists. Great applause)
Friends. there is one unfortunate thlns III
connection with the use of the WORD an
archist as applied to those VINO are Dahueu
together to restore the money OF the con-
stitution. there is one unfortunate thlns
&c a thing not to be cOnSlu-
cred in a land like this. Anarchy can nave
no home among the people VINO nave the
ballot to right their wrongs. (Great ap-
nlauseO And the unfortunate thlhg
about this campaign Is that when
the name anarchist is applied TO
the bone and muscle OF this country py
men who are doing more to overthrow
our government than any anarchist VINO
ever carried a red flag, / say that when
this word anarchist is applied 10 the
toiling millions by men who seek without
toll to usurp the fruits and reap the re-
wards Of those who toll, the danger -
mat n will make the name respectable
because Of It's association. (Uproarlous
annlause and loud cheering) l protest
against the use Of that name for the pur-
nose which deprives II of all its terroTs.
NV friends, those who are opposed 10 us
cannot afford to place the farmers OF
this country and the laborers or TINS

this government, because they are the
only friends this government has ever
had MY friends, these very men VINO
are abused and despised by those who
doubt the capacity OF the masses for self
government. are the very people who IN
time of emergency, must protect their
calumniators from themselves and their
associates.
that has preyed upon the public which
would not rather try Its case against an

applause)
