Says HEr. Bryan, but Badge Of For
eign Subserviency-

Noblesville. Ind, Oct. S.-The follow
ing is the conclusion Of Mr. Bryan s
speech here yesterday.
mo silver men who favor the Re
publican party are willing to suppress
conviction and quiet conscience and
make themselves believe whatever the
party tells them to believe (ApplauSe.)
Parties are not ends. they are the in
struments lin the accomplishment of
ends. They are not things to be WOr-
shipped, they are things to be used in
the securing OF those things which we
desire, and when party ceases to be
an instrument by which YOU can ad-
vance the interests Of your country IT
has no claim upon the citizens You
say you owe something to your party
All, my friends, your party owes more
to you than you to the party, and when
party leads an invading army against
your home, you have the right to rise
and protest against. that party. ZAP
plause) A party Is like a suit of
clothes; it is good as long as it is USE
ful to you but when it is fun Of holes
and ceases longer to protect you from
the elements you ought to throw it
away and get a suit of clothes that will
be Of some use. (Applause)
The Republican party has said i'm
this campaign what no party has ever
said before. The Republican party in
its platform says that the American
people instead OF having a financial
system which they want. must have

sire them to have. (AppiauSe) chal-
lenge YOU to find in the history of any
party i'm any land so Infamous a prop
0sition as It's contained lin the Republ-
can platform. which means the surren-
der of the right of government and
the transfer of the legislative power
from Washington to London CAP

I understand that some Of your people

ter) Let nae give YOU a better badge
this year. Take a yellow card and write

enough to attend to its own business.
and then they viii know that YOU are
Republicans" Tremendous applause

"A stop III less than a minute was
made at Cicero. where Mr. Bryan
told the people that he was glad TO see
them but he was not going to make
a speech in a town named Cicero. for
IF a man should chance t0 fall below
DamOsthenes or Cicero in a town Of thar
name he would not be forgiven, and he
therefore would save his speeches for
other places.

the candidate. A platform kad been
erected in the center of q big lot and
