TRUSTS GOOD AND BAD.
Fremont. Ohio. Oct. PA reception
committee and good crowd met the /
Bryan Mclean train at the depot this |
morning and escorted the visitors to the |
court house square, half nile distant |
where a large crowd had assembled. |
John II. Mclean introduced Mr.. Bryan, I
who thanked the audience for their I
fealty to the Chicago platform in 1896, I
and hoped they would give Mr. Mclean |
greater majority this fall. He sand:
Il believe this town was named after
John &. Fremont, who rain for President |
on platform which declared that the /
principle that might makes right was /
unworthy OF any nation. Now compare I
that platform with the present doctrine I
of the Republican party, who propose to /
sell the Filipinos at 81 u head and kill |
them, because they claim to own them
by right of purchase from decayed /
monarchy. The Republicans have be-
come so bad that one dares to oppose
what Mark Hanna calls a good thing.
He believe there are good trusts and bad
trusts. The good ones are those who
literally contribute TO campaign fund,
and those that are bad are those who do
not contribute"
PRESIDENT A HIRED MAN.
Tiffin, Ohio, Oct. 21.-In front of the
court house an audience estimated at
1000 greeted Mr.. Bryan cordially. He
said:
This county gave us 1400 majority
III 1896. Now / want you to raise it.
Fourteen hundred shows there are some
Republicans here, and l believe the time
is come when there will be no Republi-
cans anywhere. Government is a mat
ter of business.
Every citizen is stockholder In
1896 they denounced me for dragging
the great office of President down to the
low level of a hired man. Now, when
men get the idea that the President is
not the hired man of the American peo
pie they are mistaken.
He lis paid $4,000 to occupy the
White House in the spirit of the Decla
ration of Independence, and not to es
tablish an empire on American soil"
AT Clyde, a large crowd greeted the
party and brief addresses were made by
Mr.. Mclean and Mr. Bryan.
REPUBLICANS GOOD ACROBATS
Upper Sandusky Ohio, Oct. 21.-A
very large audience greeted Mr.. Bryan
here. He referred to the paying of a
tax on each telegram for the benefit of
benevolent assimilation by the widow
of the son killed in the Philippines, in
curing as to the disposition of his body.
And why? Because the telegraph COM
pany had more influence with Republic
can Congress than the common people.
He charged the Republican party with
turning somersaults, and said they were
good acrobats and claimants either for
a famine or prosperity, the rise or fall
in prices or anything else i'm touch with
the assumed prevailing public sentiment.
