Mr.. Bryan said: This is the home of
the vice president of the greatest nation
on Gods foot stool. We, who have been
keepers of the democratic faith, love
Adlai Ste censor, not only for what he
is, but we love him because he is all we
have left Of the last national democratic
ticket. If you have any doubt as to the
democracy Of our position on the n ocey
question, | want you to read what the
republican candidate for the presidency
said yesterday. lie sail, in a speech
from the front porch (laughter), we want
every dollar to represent 100 cents, not
only among our W people, but where
ever trade goes,in every market and mar
kct place of the world. Now, remember
what he says. Speaking of this dollar,
he says: 1T was made by the republican
party, but ! say while it was made by
the republican party. the administration
OF Grover Cleveland has maintained it,
There he tells you that Grover Cleve-
has carried out the policy Of the
republican party and theoretically tolls
you that republican success means that
the republican party for four years will
carry out the policy of Grover Cleve-
land. This administration has issued
100000, 900 in bonds to maintain a gold
standard for -four years, and Mr.. McKin-
ley praised Mr.. Cleveland for having
maintained that standard. When Nc
says that Cleveland has main
tanned the republican doctrines and
praises Cleveland, you have reaeon to be-
leve that if Mr.. Mckinley is elected, he
will go on issuing bonds fer the benefit
the ~bondholders and tax the people to
pay for them. My friends, these are
times. You will not find in our
political history another instance where
president has been thrown overheard
by his party, only to be caught up and
ldolized by the opposition party. Yet,
is what you find today. The only
people who are commencing the financial
policy OF Grover Cleveland are the men
who are trying to elect a republican
president to continue that policy for four
more.
"Are you surprised, when you find a
president indorsed by a re-
publican candidate for the presidency,
that a policy inaugurated at st. Louis
and reiterated by the republican candi-
late is driving out of the republican
