louisville. June 2-The formal visit of
william j. Bryan TO Louisville under the
auspices of the Ohio Valley Bimetailic
League was reserved for to-day. though
he was present here Wednesday night at
the banquet to Judge Tarvin given by the
Young Mems Democratic Club.
Mr.. Bryan left Mammoth Cave early
this morning and was met at Glasgow
junction by a local reception committee.
They were received at union station by
an escort under charge of Chief Marshal
John L. Dunlap, and tremendous crowd.
Mr.. Bryan held reception for half an
hour in the parlors of the hotel, where ne
shook hands with hundreds of citizens.
After luncheon he was driven TO the Aud
forum, where he spoke to an immense
audience He said, in part:
same Principles Required.
q
Chicago a platform which applied Demo-
cratic principles to the conditions then
existing. The conditions existing to-day
require the application of the same princi-
PIES No question brought to the atten-
ton of the people by the last campaign
has been settled since
The Republican party did not declare
but declared that ID should be continued
until foreign nations would join in inter
rational bimetallism. The Republican
President elected in the last campaign
sought to carry out the platform promises
by sending commissioners 10 Europe to
secure International bimetallism. These
comm ssioners failed to secure interna-
tonal cooperation.
Gold VS.. ,BimetalIism.
The Republican party in the next cam
payn must declare either for the gold
standard or for the restoration of bimetal-
ism. If it declares for the gold standard
il must defend the principle of gold mono
metallism, which it refused to defend in
1896 If it declares for bimetallism, 1t
must either favor independent bimetaLism
as the Democratic party did in the cam
pagn of 1896, or ii must make another at
tempt to deude the people by the prom
Use of foreign aid.
"The Ohio Valley Timetable League
which is holding its third annual conven>
ton in this city, has adopted resolutions
declaring that the contest for independent
bimetallism at the ratio of 16 20 l must
he continued. I am in hearty sympathy
with this determination.
The demand for the restoration of BIZ
metallism does not mean that there are no
other issues before the people, but it means
that this issue cannot be Eaid aside or sur
rendered until the financial policy of the
people is determined by The American peo-
pie themselves without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation
Word to Gold Democrats.
In reference TO the gold Democrats, Mr.
Bryan said:
81 want TO talk to those who are espous-
Ing hat halfway cause known as the gold
Democratic party. 1 wisN TO say that the
men who withdrew from the party in 1896
are mistaken, in large measure, and if 1
can help them 10 see the light and regain
as supporters of the party, feel that the
time viii come when they win thank me
for it,"
The remainder of Mr.. Bryan's remarks
were confined to condemnation of trusts
the gold standard and the so-called i'm
penalistic policy of the Republican admin
isuation along the same lines followed
by him in previous speeches.
Against Imperialism.
Before the adjournment the convention
unanimously adopted the following reso-
luton:
We declare and denounce the imperiaI-
istic policy of the national administration
towards the Filipinos as repugnant TO the
bill OF rights contrary to the constitution
and the Declaration of Independence"

ception at the Louisville Hotel tonight

Platform and the Men" Mr. Russell

trusts and government by injunction.
Bryan Again at Night.
Mr.. Bryan was next introduced to the
crowd amid tremendous applause. He
said:
1t is not a question who shall be the
next President of the United States, but
mat the next President be of, for and by
the people. The laws of the nation must
be Just as between man and man. and the
social abuses which have sprung up

years must be Topped off. Mark Hanna Re

Aoraham Lincoln put labor above capital.
because capital is a prouuct of labor, but
Gun any doubt that our latter day Repub-
means place capital above labor? Is il not
true that they are making tremendous pro-
eIess toward the enforcement of capital
ana the debasement of humanity?
The Ubiquitous War Tax.
When our late war came up we found
mat the government would be in need of
vast amount of money to conduct it, Our
supreme Court had declared against the
income tax, we could get no revenue
rom that source. What was TO be done?
Nothing but to look around for some little

stamp on. Our government could call
