BRYAN IN INDIANA.
He Addresses Large CrOwds-proper
Democratic Course.

GREENFIELD. IND. July Civilian
J. Bryan held three meetings here to-
day-two at the FAIRGROUNDS and one on
the courthouse square in the evening
Fully 1900 visitors were in town. and
1900 people heard him on the Fair
Grounds at each Of the TWO meetings
there.
I'm his speeches Mr. Bryan insisted upon
nothing being subtracted from the DEM
ocratic platform of 1896. but that TO IL
should be added denunciation of the Phil
ippine policy OF the administration and
condemnation Of the trusts.
He said the national administration
could proceed against the trusts by hov-
ing the President appoint an Attorney
General who would recommend the pas
sage Of q law obstructng their operations,
and, If necessary. recommending the adop-
ton Of a constitutional amendment en-
towering Congress to pass such a law.
lie said he had heard the Mckinley
policy I'm tho Philippines defended on the
grounds Of religious duty, financial proht,
and political duty. He warned all re-
ligious thinkers that a war for conquest
for religious reasons was dangerous
doctrine. He thought Christianity shot
into humanity with n Calling gun would
do little good. as the man receiving the
load would be little benefited. and the
man who was shot at ana missed would
be kept busy picking up and caring for
the dead.
Among other speakers. was Judge Tar
vim. of Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, KY. July I-The
Populist State Convention to-day named
full State ticket. John G.. Blair, Of
Nicholas county, was nominated for Gov
ernor by reclamation. The platform en-
dorses Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia,
for President, and Ignatius Donnelly. of
Minnesota, for Vice-President. 1t re-
affrms the former Populist national
platform, and declares In favor Of gov
eminent ownership of all public institu-
lions as a means OF stamping out trusts.
1t condemns the Goebel State election
law as an attempt 10 disfranchse the
voters of the State. and says further:
1--WE regret TO see that Hon. William
J. Bryan, for whom the Populists of Ken
lucky voted in 1896 for President of the
United States. by his public endorsement
of the ticket nominated at Louisville and
the platform there adopted, assumes the
responsibility Of endorsing the criminal
attempts of corrupt elements Of Ken
lucky politics 70 subvert the ballot.
In order that the Populist party may
be preserved forever free from fraud
| bossism, and political corruption. such
as now dominates both the Democratic
and Republican parties in Kentucky. as
well as I'm other States. as eXemplified in
| the late spectacle OF the Democratic con
vention, controlled by policemen and
| others sent there TO defeat the will OF
| the Democratic masses Of Kentucky, and
| the Republican convention at Lexington
controlled by Federal otiice-holders, we
endorse the policy of applying to the
management Of the Peoples party, as far
as practicable, the principles of direct
legislation in nominations and the CON
duct Of the party affairs
The Populist State Convention, just be
