Bryan's Speech on JeffergOn Day.

At banquet in Washington City,
April 18th inst, in honor of the birth Of
Thomas Jefferson, Mr.. Bryan delivered
the principal address Of the occasion.
We quote the following passages:
"The Democratic party is strong just
in proportion as it proves true to the
teachings Of its great founder. 1t is
the mission Of the Democratic party to
crystalize into legislation the principles
which he taught.
"The party applies Democratic princl-
pies to the issues which arise from time
to time. For many years the tariff ques.
tion was the paramount issue and the
party took more advanced position each
year until 1892, when it declared itself in
favor Of policy which meant substan-
italy tariff for revenue only.
"But the President elected at that
time, instead OF proceeding to carry out
that portion OF the platft rm, forced upon
public attention an issue which had up
to that time been deemed secondary. Mr..
Cleveland, more than any other person
In this nation, is responsible for the
prominent position which the money
question now occupies. 1t was his deter
mination to compelete the edemonetization
Of silver and make the gold standard
perpetual, that aroused the masses Of
the United States to active resistance.
The struggle for supremacy between the
gold standard and bimetallists was re-
cognized as contest between the money
power and the common people.
"The explicit declaration in favor of
free and unlimited coinage at 16 to
without waiting for the aid or consent
Of any other nation was made necessary
by the attempt Of certain men to evade
the preceding platforms. The party

Dispatches Of April II state that the

and that an advance of Turkish troops
has been ordered. The trouble is over
the possession OF the island Of Crete. In

an advantage. The Greeks declare that
the Turks are the aggreRsors, and the
latter in turn charge that the former
provoked hostilities. The Turks have q
