l w
| CHICAGO, November 1.-"From re-
ports which have come to me and from
my own observation | am satisfied that
Indiana is as safely Democratic as is
Missouri
I Thus spoke Hon. w. ]. Bryan, the
Democratic presidential candidate. as
he alighted from the train at Dear
born station this afternoon at three
| o'clock. He had just arrived from
tour of the State of Indiana, and
from a prolonged trip through various
| States further to the eastward. He
added that the general outlook was
encouraging, but did not go into de-
tails.
Mr.. Bryans itinerary to-day covered
a number Of points between Indianap-
oils and this city, all of them being
in the State of Indiana. His car was
run out of Cincinnati early this morn
| ing, and he arrived at Indianapolis at
| 7 O'Clock. He made no speech at the
! State capital, and was Joined there by
! National Committeeman Taggart and
other prominent Indiana Democrats,
who composed his escort for the day.
The stopping points were jamestown,
Charlottesville, Darlington, Frankfort,
Delphi, Monticello, Monon, Renssael-
laer, Lowell and Hammond.
Mr.. Bryan left the private car Ram
| bier for good when he arrived here.
He had occupied it for just five weeks
and had travelled 1000 or 5000 miles
| in it.
Mr. Bryan ran into Republican
| meeting at Rensselaer, When he ar
rived at the meeting place there was
! large crowd there to greet him and
| On the outskirts of the crowd were a
number of men on horse back and in
| rough rider uniforms. 1t was evident
there was a good deal of Mckinley SEN
timent there. Grasping the situation,
| Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am sorry that it has so happened
| that my meeting comes on the same
day as the Republican meeting, but l
am sure that here we can meet to-
gether as members of different parties
and that there need be no friction be-
! tween those who think as | do and
| those who are opposed to the Opin-
! ions which l advocate. l am sure too,
that it will not do Republicans any
harm to listen to Democratic speech,
| and | hope that the Democrats will re-
turn the courtesy shown by these Re-
! publicans by listening to the Republi-
| can speeches which are to be deliver
! ed
In his speech Mr. Bryan referred
briefly to the financial question by
way of attack upon the Republican
position. The following was his Ian
guage on that point
Il want the Republicans to explain
why they ask for the substitution of
bank note for greenback. In their
financial bill they put section IA,
which revives the hope of international
bi-metallism. Why revive the hope of
international bimetallism if the gold
standard is good thing?
There was a brief stop at the town
of Lowell, which was not originally
on the programme There Mr.. Bryan
! said he did not believe that the people
were willing to endorse the idea that
a private monopoly is a good thing
| He said that the Republicans seemed
! to have that idea, but that the Demo-
Gratis differed from them and would,
! if given the authority, shut up all
private corporations in the State of
their origin, until they were prepared
! to meet the conditions which might
| be imposed on them.
Mr.. Bryan was listened to by large
and attentive crowd in the city of
Hammond, which was his last stop
ping place in the State Of Indiana. In
| his speech at that point he gave con-
siderable attention to the question of
government by injunction, saying
among other things:
"Since the last election men have
! been shot down on the highway by
| government by injunction and the la
! boring man realizes that government
| by injunction is merely a process by
which laboring man is deprived of
| trial by jury when he comes into con-
flict with great corporation. We want
to abolish government by injunction.
! The Republicans have not tried to do
! it and not one of them in this cam
| paign has said word on that sub
| ject, but the Republican candidate for
! Vice President wrote something about
I it four years ago. During the cam
! paign he had occasion to express him
self on this subject and he said that
the laboring men who were opposed to
government by injunction were like
their remote skin clad ancestors who
| ate the mammoth and the woolly rhin-
| oceros'
If you think with them go into
the sweat shops and l think you will
be convinced to the contrary"
Closing, he touched upon the race
situation and appealed to the black
| men not to vote to fasten a servitude
| on brown men in the Pacific islands
