AT EVANSVILLE.
When the train reached Evansville it
stopped at First avenue and Ohio street
and Mr.. BRYAN was taken two blocks to
the platform and in a carriage which was
siIver-plated and the harness of white
leather ornamented with the same metal.
The Popocratic leaders figured that twenty
five thousand people would greet candidate
BRYAN at Evansville. The crowd numbered
between three and four thousand The
Popocratic managers are charging treach-
ery on the part of some one, as the speclaI
carving Mr.. Bryan was run in nall an
hour ahead of time and the escort OF bands
and marching clubs arrived on the scene
Just in time to see the train pull out Bry-

made two speeches at the city Park lie
said: . -
the State of Kentucky TIC preach new
gospel / come to defend those principles
which have been Democratic since the time
that Jefferson organized the Democratic
party Great applause.) There IS not
word in the Chicago platform that is un-
Democratic; there is not sentence there
that would have been inconsistent with the
teachings of the fathers of the Democratic
party and wher men tr tell you tna ~ tneg
get off of the Chicago platform you can tell
them that they are trying to galyanize Re
name Great appause) The advocates of
a gold standard have made the money
question the paramount one because they
have attempted to fasten upon the Amer
lean people a foreign financial system. In
stead of doing it openly and boldly they
are doing it under the pretense that they
are waiting for International imetallism.
(Applause) In this campaign either the
ticket nominated at Chicago will be sue
cessful. Every electoral vote cast by every
State will be cast for che of those tickets.
The Republican platform declares in favor
of international bimetallism. and when it
does so it confesses that the gold standard
is not good thing.
Our opponents present no financial sys-
tenn; We state what We want and how We
expect to get II ana when we expect 10
get it. (Applause.) We ask for silver SIM
ply the same privilege which gold now
has. We want the free coinage Of silver.
We now have the free coinage Of gold. We
intend that the silver dollar shall be just
what it is to-day, with one exception, and
that is that propose when restore
bimetallism to prohibit any future con-
tracts for any particular kind of money
because that is permitting the citizen to
demonetize by contract that our govern
ment makes money by law l believe we
shall succeed. because l believe that the
Chicago platform represents what is best
for the American people and l believe that
the American people want to do what is
best, and that therefore they will support
the Chicago platform. There is no reason
why ticket should be elected except
that the people want to elect it," Gaugh-
ter and applause.)
After leaving Henderson the train made
five minute stops at greensboro. HaWes-
vile, Cloverpoint and Irvington where Mr.
Bryan told the crowd that he was glad to
note the interest they were taking and
thanked them for the ovations paid him
