At Cincinnati.


Bryan reached here at $50 tonight, he
was escorted by the Duckworth club
ana other political organizations from
the station TO the Gibson house Con-
siderable enthusiasm was shown by big
CROWDS along the route. A hasty sup
per and q quick change of clothing.
and the candidate was taken TO Music
nan, under escort OF the Duckworth
club. Here he was down for a speech,
out II was not the only one to which
cincinnati expected to listen No less
than four speeches, three in Cincinnati,
and one In Covington, were wanted of
Mr.. Bryan. Naturally, he was
AGHAST AT THE PROSPECT
ard he finally compromised with those
having the arrangements in charge by
the agreement that he should make
speeches at Music hall and the Gov
lngton meeting, but should merely an
pear at the other two meetings on this
side of the river.
At the Music hall meeting, there
were at least 10000 people sitting and
standing on floor and stage, and in the
galleries. Outside. the streets were
damned by enormous crowds, and all
the entrances were besieged by en-
thusiasts eager for admittance. Louis
Reemelein, chairman of the Demo-
cratic county executive committee
called the meeting to order and was
howled down. In Self-confiGence. he
presented Mr.. Bryan. Gustave lapel,
who had been chosen to preside, came
in just then and made q speech which
no body heard in the confusion. He,
TOO, introduced Mr Bryan. Cries OF
'Hurrah for Mckinley" aroused the
ire of some of the Bryanites, and they
tried to find the culprits. While the
shouts and calls We're at their height,
James Grove, president Of the Duck
worth club, jumped UP and
CALLED THE DISTURBERS
BLACKGUARDs
He demanded the removal of three
men in the balcony and when this was
done and the confusion stopped, he
presented Mr. Bryan.
Having been so well introduced, the
Democratic nominee began his speech
without delay. He said in part:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men:-I esteem it privilege, as
candidate for office, to be permitted to
present the claims OF our cause to the
people Of Cincinnati. We are COM
PEELED 10 face an enemy in this cam
paign which is not only Well-organized
and well-eQuipped with the means
mate work but we are also compelled
to face an enemy which is not entirely
honest III its dealings with the peo-
pie. (Applause.) Before addressing
myself to the paramount issue of the
campaign. / want 10 call your atten-
ton TO two or three questions that
nave been raised by our opponents.
Some Of our opponents have attempted
to arraign US before the bar Of public
opinion upon the charge that We are
trying to disturb order and to over
throw law l want, for a moment. to
meet that proposition. There is moth
ing in our platform that justifies that
charge If they say that our declara-
ton in favor OF an income tax is an
attempt 10 discredit the supreme court,
I 6env it. There is nothing in our
platform on that subject which is half
as severe as the minority Of the court
itself uttered against the judgment or
the supreme court. (AppiauseD
IT et me call your attention 10 q crit
cism which Abraham Lincoln made OF
a decision of the supreme court; and
when YOU read his criticism you VII
find how far we fall short of him in
criticism. And yet there are good peo- /
ple in this country today who think
that Abraham Lincoln was not only
q great man, but &. good man and a
patriot. (ApDlause.) Here Is ms ian
guge in June, 1857:
1--WE believe as much as Judge
Douglas, perhaps more, ii obedience
10 and respect for the judicial depart
ment of the government But we think
that the bred Scott decision was erro-
neous. We know shat the court that
made it has often
ovERRULED IT'S OWN DECISIONS
and we shall do what we can to have
il overrule this.
MY friends, the position taken by
Abraham Lincoln is exactly the posi- |
ton which we take today. (Applause.) |
We expect that in fnis nation ii will
sometime be possible 10 make wealth |
bear is share of the burdens Of the |
government. (Applause)
II call your attention to the fact that |
the men who are criticising US for still |
favor!ng an income tax do not them
selves criticise the income tax.
Our opponents want you to believe
that we are opposed to the enforcement /
of the law. So far as our criticism is
directed against me as a candidate 1
assert. as l have asserted before, that +
there is not a citizen in all this land
who believes more thoroughly in the
of every law upon the
statute books than 1 do (applause);
and, my friends, if by the suffrages Of
my countrymen I may be made the
next executive Of this nation, I will
