t~f much applause and interrupted by
cues .ons by Rockwell Clough, Of Alton,
*. H.. a prominent wire manufacturer,
N-. Bryan addressed a very large crowd
,a Merrimac Common here. He said:
Fe.low Ci,izens:-We are told that
The coinage Of silver will be detrimental
ID those who have deposits in savings
banks. 1 want you people who have
money deposited in savings banks to
remember th.s-that your deposits are
secure only when the banks can collec,
the money which they have loaned ani
if YOU lend money on western land and
then drive down the value Of western
.a1d. you are destroying the securities
which the banks hold for what they owe
You.
Mr.. Bryan then went into a discussion
of the silver question proper He Sc
verely arraigned trusts and monopolies
and declared the people were on the side
OF silver and added:
"Silver is a legal tender except when
YOU contract against il. We believe 1t
Oughc 70 be a legal tender and that here
after no man ought 10 be permitted 70
contract gainst any kind Of government
money.
But. If our administration would rec
Ognize silver even as it is, by law. We VIII
De relieved OF great Disadvantages.
But instead OF recognizing silver as a
standard money eqUa, wi,h gold N the
payment of all debts, public and pri-
vaJe. our administration has issued
bonds 10 the amount of $26200O,0 600 N
order 10 buy god in order 10 furnish 10
those who make a prof, by ra.ding the
tr= asury. and then buying the bonds
which the treasury issues TO rep.enish
itself"
Al this point Rockwell Clough, Of Al
ton. y. H., started 10 PROFOUND interrog-
at0ries. all Of them meaningless and IN
tended 20 discCncert the speaker. Mr..
Bryan answered them all TO the dis
c0mfture of his questiioner.
PORTLAND. Ne. September 2b.-The
start for Bath was made at 1850 and a half
hour later the ,rain came to stop IN
front of a large shoe factory in HaverhilL
the town of shoe factories. Another
crowd met the party here. but time did
not permit of a speech. Brief stops were
made at Exeter y. H.. and Rockingham
Junction. and at the latter place Mr..
Bryan spoke from the platform.
During his speech Mr.. Bryan from his
place on the platform espied two pick
pockets attempting TO remove a fat pock-
etbook which protruded from the pocket
of "a man the crowd.
Look out. there" cried the nominee,
they're trying to rob you In the en-
suing confusion, however, the wouid-be
thieves got away.
This civ was reached at > o'clock and
Nlr. Bryan addressed a great multitude
Of reoule i'm the large public square imme-
diatcly back of the station. The candi-
date was given one of the most demon
strative greetings of his New England
tour
RATH. Ne. September 26-The party
left Portland at $50 for Bath, the home Of
Wee Presidential Candidate Sewau.
The party reached Bath az o'clock and
was driven directly 10 Mr.. Sewalls home,
whore dinner was served and the big meet
ing of the night was held in Custom House
Square. II was probably the greatest
night in the history of this quaint little
town. Cannon were discharged and there
were fireworks an around.
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Sewau appeared on
the platform at S:l5.
When Arthur Sewall stepped to the
front of the stand to introduce his running
mate. a tremendous roar went up from the
crowd.
When Mr.. Bryan finished his speech
there was q great demonstration. Those
who had listened to him with rapt atten-
tion crowded about the stand and clam
bered over one another in an effort to
shake his hand. When he was finally res
cued from their struggles the crowd sent
up three cheers and the candidate was
quickly driven to Mr.. Sewalrs home for
r4,- ,f rest before resuming his journey.
