Goebel for Governor. He was carried on
special train with Senator Gosbel. Capt Black
burn. q number OF well-known orators and
newspaper correspondents. The first thing the
silver leader did this morning when he got up
was to shake hands with Mr.. Gosbsl and other
friends in the car. He made the announcement
that he would have no objection to questions
being put to him by those who were opposing
Mr. Goebel and that he thought the moro
questions asked the m ore votes he could make
for the ticket.
Col Bryan Is looking so we'll that his friends
will be more than Rratilcd. His recent sick
ness seems not to have left his health i'm
paired. Indeed he looks scarcely a day older
than when he went over practically this same
route in 1896 in his own behalf.
A crowd OF nearly 1000 was waiting at the
first atop. Bardwell. when the train pulled In
at $3.50 o'clock. The demon straton was en-
thusiastic. Mr.. Bryan began his speech By
saying that upon the result OF this campaign
would depend in a large measure tho national
battle OF next year.
we did not get Kentucky in 1896" he said.

to realize that In this fight you not only have

Blackburn been in the Senate last year instead
OF the Republican you sent the Bacon resolu-
tlon providing for independence to the Philip
pines on the same terms as Cuba would have
been adopted. That shows the Importance OF
one vote in the Senate. Are we to yield the
fruits OF victory because OF petty quarrsls?"
Mr.. Bryan then made a plea for harmony.
saying:
While the great questions now before the
nation are pending how can Democrats be
Quarrslling among themselves l care inot
what you think OF the convention at Louisville.
1 am not here to discuss it. and you can have
your opinion about it. but do not believe any
thing was done there 30 bad as to deserve the
remedy they want to apply namely. to elect a
Republican"
He referred to the Philippine policy as .'un-
American" and said
You have seen a Republican President stan d =.
ing for the standing army OF 100000 men.
This increase was not asked to down the Fill
plno war. Ifthe Republican party remains in
power the army will be raised II an i'm psral
policy 10 endorsed By tho people and formed by
the Government. We will have an army OF
100000. and whom you vote this fall. you are
to approve or condemn this policy. And when
these questions are at stake why should
people stop to quarrel about who shall have
been nominated for any particular office? What
difference does II make whether my Dem ocrat
or your Democrat or somebody elses Demo-
crat be nc minated? Is not any Democrat who
stands for the Democratic platform and ito
principles better than a Republican who is
offered for your suffrage?
Il say there may be times when people can
stop to discuss their preferences. but when
they stand 10 the face OF any n envy that scru-
pies at nothing. is it time to air our personal
opinions or give vent to our personal animos
tiest"
Before a crowd OF 10000 at Mayaeld. Mr..
Bryan said in part:
When Goebsl is elected 1t will be notice to
the country that KENTUCKY is in line for 1000.
Win the fight this fall and the fight in 1900
will be easy. l want Kentucky to go Demo-
cratic because it will encourage Democrats
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and then
want it to 60 Democratic so that you can elect
Blackburn. a fres-silver Democrat. to the sen-
ate: and want q Democratic Governor. SO
that II there should be vacancy in the Senate
a Democrat will be appointed.
Drop your personalities. Take away tho
question Of personal preference and let your
vote be SO recorded that your representative
In the Senate and your State officials will be
the right kind. and then take up your quarrel
and fght it out as long as you want to.
The train covered q distance OF nearly 500
miles making stops OF about thirty min tes
The GRO vds at every stop were immense and
enthusiastic. The opponents OF the Goebelt tic
ket are furious and many former supporters Of
Mr.. Bryan are swearing vengeance on him
next year. They think he has made the most
serious mistake by coming out boldly In de-
fence Of Gosbsl.
