- cincinnati l appreciate the crowded
a-5itioh of the hail. and know that it,
.oonires some sacrifice to undergo the
iueorvtniences that you have to undergo.
Brt want you now 70 be patient, and to
l,ffer with me, because, my friends, l
~ u.orking as hard in this campaign as
co.. an udll have to work to stand for little

voice-And you'll be elected.
Nv Rrvan continued: 1--WE are compell-
al IN face an enemy in this campaign
ubioh is not only we'll organized and well
eamnped with means both for legitimate
r.ork and illegitimate work, but we are
oleo compelled to face an enemy which
g. mt entirely honest in it's dealings with
he people (Applause).
before addressing myself to the para
mount issue of this campaign, l want to
rau YOUR attention to two or three ques-
tfons mat have been missed by our oppo-
1ao1arad n q
question is the paramount issue, but some
of them are not willing to meet us on
the money question, and have
sougbt to raise other questions to confuse
the public mind. My friends, just one word
about these other questions. Some of our
opponents have attempted to arraign us
before the bar of public opinion upon the
charge that we are trying to disturb or
der and to overthrow law. l want for a
moment to meet that proposition. There is
nothing in our platform that justifies that
charge If they say that our declaration
in favor of an income tax is an attempt
10 discredt the supreme court, l deny it.
There is nothing in our platform on that
subject which Is half as severe as the
minority of the court itself uttered against
the Judgment of the supreme court. Gap
plause)
Let me call your attention to a criu-
cism which Abraham Lincoln made of a
decision of the supreme court; and when
YOU read his criticism, you will find how
far we fall short of his criticism. And
vet there are good people in this country
today who think that Abraham Lincoln
was not only a great man, but good man
and a patriot. (Applause). Here is his
language in June 1857: We yield as much
as Judge Douglas, perhaps more he
adds parenthetically, 'in obedience
to and respect for the judicial
department of the government. But we
think that the bred Scott decision was
erroneous. We know that the court that
made it has often overruled it's own de-
csions, and we shall do what we can to
have it overrule this,
MY friends, the position taken by
Abraham Lincoln is exactly the position
which we take to-day. (Applause). We
expect that decision at some time in the
future, to be overruled. We expect that
in this nation it will some time be posi-
BILE to make wealth bear its share of the
burdens of government (Great applause)
=
MY friends if by the SURFACES of my
countrymen I may be made the chief
executive of this nation, I will promise
you that 1 will so enforce the laws that
some of my critics will come on their
knees begging not to have the laws en-
forced" Tremendous applause).
Mr.. Bryan then went on to state the
reason for the opposition of some of the
railroad presidents to the Chicago plat
form, and also said: 1--WE are opposing
the gold standard. We have commenced
war against it. 1t is a war of extermi-
nation. We ask no quarter and we give
no quarter and this was greeted with
rounds of applause.
Mr., Bryan then rehearsed his familiar
arguments in relation to the merits of the
gold standard as compared with bi-meta.-
lism.
After his Cincinnati speech, Mr.. Bryan
left Immediately for Covington, and spoke
there for forty minutes to 5000 people. His
address was similar to that made at Mus
&c Hail. When the meeting was over.
Mr.. Bryan was taken to the residence of
Amos P. Turpin, where he spent the
night.
He will leave Cincinnati tomorrow
morning over the Baltimore and Ohio
southwestern for st. Louis.
