He AlS0 Caavasses His Chances for
REORGANIZATION.
GAINESVILLE, Ga, July 4.-Hon. William
J. Bryan addressed the GAINESVILLE Chau-
tanqua here today. The crowd which
greeted Mr.. Bryan was enormous and his
reception enthusiastic. He spoke of the
Republican party as the protector of
trusts, and said the trust question was
growing in Importance. The Nebraskan
also denounced the greed Of expansion"
saying: 'SThe expansion argument Is the
argument of George III. Shall we say on
this day OF celebration that we have lived
hundred years under q wrong principle?
No. Some say, take the Bible In one
hand and the gun in the other. Thank
God, ] am not in favor OF this way Of
Outstanding. We shall not depart from
republican form of government. We are
not ready to accept the doctrine OF con-
quest and force. 1t is not the desire Of the
Republicans to do good. but the desire to
gain more money, that lies behind their
colonial policy"
AS he neared the end Of his speech Mr.
Bryan emphasized the fact that the
money question would not be lost sight Of
in the coming campaign. Whether am
nominated or not In 1900 Is immaterial to
me-" said Mr.. Bryan. whether shall
