CROWDS STILL
GREET MR.. BRYAN
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Il am very glad to speak TO the people
of this county. In 1896 YOU gave some
thing like 100 majority lor IN" Dem
ocratlc ticket out OF a total OF less than
500. The Republicans policy Is so bad
that there is no reasonable excuse for
a minority vote among YOU
ANOTHER JOKE
Mr.. Bryan related the story Of the
young medical student who would bleed
every patient REGARDLESS OF the disease
and when the p1.lent 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
laboriD= man cannot afford To throw his
influence on the side OF the Republican
party. / believe in an income tax. and
believe il the most just of all taxes. The
platform of 1896 favored Il and your
GAINESVILLE platform reaffirmcd the 1886
platform"
Mr.. Bryan discussed silver. the trusts
and imperialism.

cession 10 the public square was the
greatest Of any thus far in Ohio.
Mr. Bryan said he could not enter into
an elaborate argument OF important
questions before the public, because he
could not make six addresses a day and
DO so and be on time at each place.
He again discussed the income tax
law, trusts and silver. He asserted that
the policy Of the Republican party in its
relations 10 the trusts was. Thou shalt
not steal on a small scale" and in this
connection. AT the suggestion OF some one
in the crowd. he referred 10 the Carter
case.
In discussing expansion. he made a dis
tinction between the Louisiana purchase
and that Of the Philippines. claiming the
one was for colonization by a homo
geneous race and the other was not: that
the white man never went 20 the tropics.
