the Dcighbor OF those who have fallen
among thieves. tGreat and continuous
cheering) Heiis neighbor who in the
hour of distress brings relief. Inmy humble
judgment. at this time, when we are cursed
by an European financial policy, that our
opponents tell us we must endure until
foreign relief comes to us, believe
that the Dcighbor OF all the toiling masses
is the man who asks for the immediate
restor alton OF the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the present legal ratio
OF 16 to 1. (Thunderous applausc.) With
out waiting for the aid OF consent of any
other nation on earth. Loud applause)

shall bear them no i'll will, and haveso
high regard for my oppon ent that
know he will say to his townsmen here that
every one OF them should feel free to make
his ballot represent free mans will,
although 1t may result in keeping your
distinguished citizen among you as a
townsman still. Loud applause and shouts
of That's where he belongs.") l thank
you for your kind attention and bid you
good-by."
