AT Lawrence, Mr.. BRYAN

its cheers a decided partially for Mr.
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan wore his new silver
tile an the meeting and returned to
the train with it pulled down over his
ears.
The train left Lawrence for Exeter
n. H, at 1870. After leaving Lawrence
| a stop OF a few minutes was made by
Mr.. Bryan at Haverhiil, too brief for
a speech. Then the head OF the ticket
and his running mate from Maine were
cheered loudly, at the station, where
more than 1000 people formed Two sep
arate crowds, one on each side of the
track. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Sewall had
time only to make a few bows when the
warning signal was given and the train
started.
The Philiips-Exeter academy boys
gave their 'rah" as Messrs. Bryan and
SeWall stepped upon the rear platform
OF their special car when their train
arrived at Exeter at 2:15. The crowd
al tne station numbered about 800 and
was composed largely of workingmen
who shouted with vim. The matt was
short and Mr.. Bryan did not speak.
Mr. Bryan had another experience
with pickpockets at Rockingham juno
ton, where he detected some of the
Esht-fingered gentry at work AID he
shouted a warning to their intended
'AIt1iiiS, tic pichpCcfAelS iudkiHS li-lf
escape. Several hundred surrounded
the train at this point Mr. Bryan's
speech was brief. He said:
L am glad to see that you are be-
ginning TO take an interest in the
money question / have no doubt there
are many people here who until three
months ago thought the money ques-
! iton unimportant. I thought SO myself
until / began to study it six years ago.
Those who think that men who handle
money alone understand the money
/ question, are mistaken. You might as
! we'll think person who knows how 20
cook eggs of necessity knows how to
raise chickens. (Applause.) A fnan-
c3er may understand how much reserve
he keeps in his bank, or the value Of an
American piece of paper and yet he
may know nothing about the laws of
finance. The principal law OF finance
is that the value of money depends
upon the amount OF money in circula-
ton. Scarce money means low prices.
When money increases in volume,
prices will rise. The gold standard
means
CONSTANTLY FALLING PRICES.
Bimetallisn means rising prices This
is no new doctrine. l believe that the
attempt to discredlt silver as standard
money has been a conspiracy for the
benefit of those who will profit by fall
ing prices and scarce money"
Stops were made at Rollins Ford
and Salmon Falls, n. H, and North
Berwick and South Berwick, Me. Sew
eral hundred people composed these
gatherings and many shook hands with
both candidates.
Three cheers for the non-hearted
leader Of the labor cause" was the
hat n+al i1,-r-o -
nebunk. The knot Of men there fol-
lowed this sentiment with cheers.
Mr.. Bryan told them. that he could
not make a speech because he was
saving his voice.
To Biddeford's welcome to Bryan and
Sewall came Loco or zoo people. The
special car stopped sfiort~of where the
was made along the tracks, many of
the people cheering wildly. Mr.. Bryan
spoke briefly and got more cheers
The Portland reception committee
came aboard the car at Biddeford.
A vast tilrong certainly 10000
heard Mr.. Bryan in Union station
square in the west end of Portland,
this evening. arriving there at
O'clock with Mr.. Sewail, he was es-
corted through a throng in the station
TO temporary stand in its rear. The
square was packed and jan1medi with
humanity. Nj. Sewall introduced his
fellow standard bearer, who made a
short speech.
Mr.. Bryan said:
II desire to say to the Democrats of
Maine that the Democrats of the
HAVE NO COMPLAINT
to make of the manner in which you
have fought your state election battle
We understand the circumstances
which have surrounded you. We I'M
derstand the difficulties which you
have had to overcome, and we believe
when all these have been considered,
that you have made a fight so gallant
and so brave that you may we'll be
satisfied with the work you have done.
We know there was but little more
than a month in which to conduct
canvass, and we know a month is
short time for the Democrats to go out
and present the free coinage of silver
to those who have been against it. We
understand, too, that your opponents
have money without limit to organize
their campaign and spread their litera-
ture broadcast throughout the state;
and We know the Democrats from
Maine came home to carry Oh neces-
sary work. Yet
IN SPITE OF ALL
these obstacles, we rejoice that the
Democratic candidate for governor,
strong On a silver platform in spite of
the desertion of the sold standard
men, polled 1900 more votes than the
Democratic party did two years ago.
(Applause.) We bid you God-speed in
the work you are still carrying on; and
when the people of Maine have studied
the money question as seriously and
GaPOlV as the nPOOle in other nortc
of the country have, you can expect a
majority Of the people in Maine to
register their votes in favor of an
American system as against a foreign
system of finance" (Applause)
Mr.. Bryan then entered upon a dis
cussion of the relative merits of the
two sides of the money question, using
arguments that are familiar to read
ers of his speeches.
station, and at $50 left for Bath on a
special train of two cars furnished by
Mr.. Sewall
FROM THE TOMB
Although the crowd at the Maine
Central station at Brunswick when Mr..
Bryan arrived at $50 was small. it
showed much enthusiasm. A number
of Bowdoin college students wer. in
were given for Mr.. Bryan, who told
his audience that he did not need TO
speak to people who cheered him like
that. Somebody called for three cheers
for Mckinley, but none were given
"A voice from the tomb" was Mr.. Bry-
ans comment and everybody laughed. !
