 Says People Should be Jealous of Their Liberties-Aslrs No Democrat to Support Him Because He Was Nominated by Democratic Convention-Still Talking About the Rights of the People-Says the Issues Are Sharply Drawn-At the Place Cheers for Mckinley Are Given With WilI-Last Speech of the Candidate in New York State.
 Ripley, N. Y., Aug. 1.-Mayville which is the home of Judge Albion w. Tourgee, who is at present stumping for Major Mckinley, was reached at 10:3O a. m. Mir Bryan spoke there from the balcony of the hotel to four hun dred persons, and reference to Judge Tourgee's books caused laughter from the crowd. Mir Bryan said that Mir. Jefferson had the correct idea when he said that governments were founded in l jealousy, not in confidence; that confi- dence was everywhere the parent of despotisin.
 Show me people," said MT Bryan,
 ''who are so confident in their leaders that they take no part in the details of | government, and will show you a peo- l pie whose leaders look out for them selves, not for the interests of the peo- | pie. Show me people who instead of | having too much confidence, are jealous | of their liberties; are watchful of their public servants, and are careful as to | the policies proposed by the different parties, and I will show you a people that have a good government. (Cheers) Tn this campaign the parties come to 1 you with their platforms outlining what they will do, and in this campaign
 there is one great question which over
 shadows all cthers-the money ques- tion On this the two leading parties | take positions entirely antagonistic to
 each other Heretofore l. has been too
 much the custom for both parties to | take ambiguous positions and to strad- l dle the question. This year they did
 not do that The republican party has declared for the maintenance of the
 gold standard until other nations come
 to our relief.
 "The democratic party declares it's
 unalterable opposition to gold stand ard and declares for the restoration of
 the free and unlimited coinage of gold
 and silver at the present legal ratio of
 IS to 1, without waiting for the aid or
 consent of any foreign nation want
 you to think over this question. You
 have as much right to find out how it l ofp hox 1,t, n on
 gagged in negotiating with the govern
 ment for the sale of bonds on which
 the people have to pay interest. The
 people have right to protest against
 such burdens You are familiar with | the old expression of making bricks l without straw. I want to say to you, my friends, that no system, TO policy, has been contrived by the mind of man
 so calculated to make the te!ling mass es make bricks without straw as the l gold standards And I want to sug- gest that the man who goes to the fiananciers and syndicates to secure | their aid in restoring a policy that is good for the American people goes on a | fools errand.'
 | As MT Bryan bowed his thanks some one in the crowd called for three cheers for William Mckinley" and the | cheers were given with apparent good l will.
 MT. Bryan arrived at Ripley at 1:30 D. m. after rather uninteresting drive
 across country from Mayville Many houses in the town here are decorated with banners bearing the names of
 Bryan and Sewall while not 6 few have | Mckinley Autographs. The candidate and his wife took dinner at the house of Lyman Bennett with Hon. Carlos Cor
 bet, and member of the democratic state committee, Postmaster J. A. Me- Ginnis and other supporters of MT, Bryan made speech to large crowd
 and left for Cleveland over the Lake Shore road at 3:05.
 l MT. Bryan's speech was delivered in Tallman's grove. where the Knights of
 Maccabee were holding a picnic. His
 audience numbered 2,000 and was fairly
 enthusiastic. Mir. Bryan was intro duced by the chief officer. MT. Bryan
 in coming to the front was loudly cheer
 ed. He said
 "I desire to thank the members of
 the fraternity for the privilege they
 have given me of meeting the people
 here assembled. I shall not ask the
 members of the fraternity to endorse
 anything that I say. I recognize that
 the order is a non-partisan order and, therefore, politics ought to have no
 place in its consideration. That Is so
 far as the order is concerned, although
 members of all orders must be as citi-
 zens interested in any question that is
 before the American people. Not only | do I appreciate the courtesy which the | Maccabees have extended, but 1 ap- preciate the work which that order
 and other orders are doing. I am. my
 self, member of some of the similar orders, and I speak what I believe
 when I say that they are doing great and important work among our people. | (Applause.)
 "This is the last opportunity I shall
 have to say a word in the state of New York For the last week Cor almost a
 week) I have been travelling and meet ing the people. I am greatly pleased
 with the interest which is being taken
 by the people of New York in the issue of this campaign. am able to carry back to the people of the west the news
 that while we have not met with very hearty reception in Wall street, we have
 met a hearty reception in every other part of the state of New York. And I have come to believe that there is among the masses of the people of New
 York about as little love for what is | q I
