they cannot bring that charge against a
member of the supreme court whose
judgment and heart has led him 10
irpouse the cause of the people.
(Cneers) A few months ago, l was in
your midst and then as a private clti-
zen, simply representing cause when
was near to my heart, and when L told
you here that the brand Of my Democ-
racy was different from the brand
which was being presented by the ad-
ministration, your city was advertised
by those who tried to make II appear
that l denied that l was Democrat
(Cheers) My friends, those of you who
were here know that l not only did not
declare myself not a Democrat, but
have always declared myself better
Democrat than any man who sought
to undo what Jefferson and jackson dld
for the American people. Great cheer

Fifteen hundred people were punched
around a speakers stand at McLedns-
boro, H., when Candidate Bryan's train
reached that place at 1920 a. M A
train platform enabled Mr. Bryan TO
reach the stand without beng
OBLIGED TO FIGHT HIS WAY
through the throng, as he had frequent
ly been obliged to do. He made short
speech. and SAID:
Since 1873 the people have been try
ing to restore the law which existed
before '73. From the beginning of the
government down TO 10, there never
was a day when silver was discrimi-
mated against as a standard
Referring to the Chicago convention,
he sid:
"A majority of the delegates in the
Democratic convention went there in
structed to declare for the free coinage
Of silver at 16 TO 1, and your delegates
ooeyed their instructions and adopted
platform that breathes the spirit of the
declaration of independence, which is
now offered to the toilers of this coun-
airy. (Applause) The men who have
been trying to read out of the Demo-
cratic party those men who stood by
its ancient doctrine were the first to
leave the Democratic party and find
congenial home somewhere else. We
have no desire to drive Democrats out
of the party, unless they want to use it
for a purpose unknown to the founders
Of the party. But when we had to
choose between the company of those
who had been advocating the dominion
Of syndicates and those who believed in
the principles of our forefathers and
the interests of the people. we prefer to
lose the company Of some of our leaders
and retain the
CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE.
Carmf, Illinois, turned out a big
crowd to see and hear Mr.. Bryan.
When his special arrived there at II
o'clock enough people were gathered
at the railroad station to fill an open
space a hundred feet square. Carmi had
a stand erected for his accommodation.
The regulation brass band was at
hand. and all the appurtenances of a
political demonstration were there.
Mr.. Bryan said:
Our opponents tell us that if prices
fall, the farmer makes as much on
what he buys cheap as he loses on
some things do not fall. Your taxes
are not falling. I know not how it may
be in this county, but as a rule the
taxes of farmer are as much today as
they were twenty years ago "a voice
They are a great deal more), although
it takes twice as much Of the farmers
product to pay these taxes as it did
then. Now, all those who find a rising
dollar a good thing are telling us that
we must maintain a gold standard.
My friends, let them think So if they
desire to, but I want to impress upon
your minds that you who are injured
by a gold standard have got to secure
that relief yourselves through the bal
lot box if you are going to seek relief
(ADplause.)
Soon after leaving Carmi, the Bryan
special crossed the Wabash into Indi-
ana, and Mr.. bryan received welcome
to that state from committees from
md ID
respectively by Colonel A. D. Owen and
John D. Spencer, who had joined the
candidates party at Carmi.
The first place where a stop was
made in Indiana by the Bryan train
was at Mount Vernon at noon. Five
thousand people greeted Mr.. Bryan
there.
Mr.. Bryan reached Evansville shortly
before l o'clock. He was placed in a
carriage and taken to an open lot one
hundred yards from where the train
stopped at the corner of Ohio street
and First avenue. The lot was crowded
to its outskirts with people. Two Bry-
an and Sewall clubs arrived after Mr..
Bryan reached the covered stand from
which he made his speech. The candi-
date was
VERY HEARTILY CHEERED
by an audience of 5000 people. and
when he was presented by Colonel
Shanklin, national committeeman from
Indianapolis, the cheering was re-
newed.
Mr. Bryan went over many of the
points discussed by him before He
proceeded in part as follows:
LAS l came down the street here, [
noticed picture showing the minis
open in one place and the factories in
another and the Republican party as
sures the people it is trying TO open
the factories while we are trying to
open che minis. Our policy means the
opening OF both minis and factories
The triumph Of the Republican party
means the closing of both minis and
factories. (Applause) How can the
sell goods unless the peo-
pie are able to buy them? AS long as
YOU drive down the price of farm pro-
ducts, you make it impossible for the
farmer to buy the products of the fac
tories, and until he can buy you can
not open the factories. When they say
they want to open the factories first, +
and then times will be good, it is put
ting the cart before the horse It is
like saying a man has a good wagon /
and it runs well if he could only make
the horses go. Laughter) People
need clothing and other products of /
the factory.
WHY CAN'T THEY BUY THEM?
Because. when the farmer sells his !
crops in gold prices and pays his debts |
and taxes, he has nothing left to spend 1
at the store (Applause)
On the way to the station the spirited !,
horses attached to Mr. Bryan's car
rage became frightened and jumped /
