Napoleon,O., oct. 20-The Bryan Mclean
special train left Defiance at a. m. The
first stop was at Napoleon. Henry county.
Carriages and large crowd were at the
depot and escorted the visiting guests to
the Court House, in front of which a stand
had been erected. John r. Mclean an
troduced Mr.. Bryan, who said in part;
Il am very glad to speak to the peo-
pie of this county In 1896 you gave some-
thing Ike LOO majority for the Domocra tic
ticket out Of a total Of less than 5000.
The Republican policy is so bad that there
is no reasonable excuse for a minority
vote among you"
Mr.. Bryan related the story Of the young
medical student who would bleed every
patient regardless of the disease, and
when the patient became so weak he could
stand il no longer, the student would prop
him up in bed and bleed him again. And
that is the way of The Republican party"
continued the speaker. 1T has bled you
on the money question, the tax question
and every other question which has come
before the country.
The time has come when the farmer,
the plain laboring man, cannot afford to
throw his influence on the side of the Re
tax, and | believe it the most just of all
taxes. The platform of 1896 favored t,
and your GAINESVILLE platform reafrmed
the 1896 platform"
Mr.. Bryan then discussed silver, the
trusts and imperialism.

Providence was engaged iii directing
all of them. The world he said. was

that slavery had been wiped out of

solemn truths were masterfully pre-
