and in the ten minutes during which
he spoke devoted himself almost en-
tirely to the discussion of the yard
| stick proposition along the same lines
| pursued by him many times before. At
the meeting in the car barn Mr. Bryan
said, in part:
It gives me great pleasure to advocate our
cause anywhere but 1t gives me special
| people, who, like the people of Mime
sofa, have laid aside differences of minor
questions, and Joined in supreme effort to
wrest this government from the hands of
those VINO would make the people hewers Of
/ wood and drawers of water. 1t gives me
pleasure to defend that cause in state
| puDncans have united on state congressional
| and electoral tickets My friends, too often
| In the past, those who have labored for a
common purpose have .counteracted each
others efforts because they have gone in
different organizations and supported DIFF
! ferent candidates, but in this campaign we
are welding together those three divisions
| OF one great army and nowhere has that weld
ing process been more effectual than in the
| state of Minnesota.
l am glad to come into this state am
glad to be where the reform forces have
Joined in the nomination Of so grand a.
man as their candidate for governor, John
Lind; am glad to speak in a congressional
district where the reform forces have taken
up and are following the leadership of so
gallant champion as Charles A. Towne.
MY friends. when history has recorded as |
| this movement in behalf of sbimetallism
when upon the roll of honor has been in
scriDed the names Of those who have been
most instrumental in carrying this cause to
successful victory. l believe that your towns
man, your candidate. your congressman, will
hnd his name high up among those to whom
honor will be paid
| There are crises in the affairs of not,ons
upon which much depends. There are hours
In the lives of men, which are the turning
point, and upon the decision there may de-
pend not only the future of the man hut
often much depends that concerns the well
rare OF the nation, and. my friends. when
the time came when Mr.. Towne' himself
| must stand true to his convictions or abanz
don them in order to remain in association
with the party in which he was reared, when
that time came he did what every noble man
| where those convictions led NV friends
when he did that, when he cast in his 1ot
with those who believed in the money Of the
constitution, when he sacrificed those no3iti
cal associations which had been dear RI bino
and started out a champion of the cause Of
the people, believe that he rendered a de-
elsIon when VIII prove as beneficial to his
counsrymen as 1t proves honorable to him
and am glad to be in this district to hold
up his hands and to tell you who assemble

Cnarles A Towne can better afford to go down

cause to suffer defeat. And when teIi vn,,
