When they want to excuse war o.
conquest in the Philippine islands, they
say they are in partnership with the
Almighty; but / want you to notice
this thing, that while they claim TO be
silent partners with the Almighty, the
Republicans instead of being silent
partners are making all the noise about
it and we have not heard the Almighty
side of tine partnership yet"
In his brief speech at Brownstown
Mr.. Bryan referred to the campaign Of
1896, and said tnat he had not been
dismayed at the result of the election
that year, because he believed that the
Democrats We're working upon right
principles and the Republicans or
wrong principles, and that if this was
the case the problem would work Out
right.
If man has boils," he said, "he is
apt to continue to have them until he
takes something to purify his blood
Inc Republican party has been work
ing on the vicious principle that the
dollar is worth more than the man ano
think the time has about come when
the country will decide to purify the
system"
At East Bank, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 am glad | have behind me those
who will be satisfied with equal rights
and who will not ask special privilege;
# am elected. I am glad that l have
not behind me the trust magnates, fol
if am elected, do not want them &c
hang about the White House and tel
LIE how they elected me and therefore
claim that they own me-"
At Montgomery Mr.. Bryan declared
that "the boosted prosperity Of the Re-
publican party" was confined to small
section of the country. If, he said, they
say we are prosperous, they cannot re-
fer to the conditions in the anthracite
coal regions.
Continuing, he said:
''rrf the laboring man is getting an.
degree of protection these days. he Il
getting it from the labor organization
and not from the Republican party
But even with the advantages wnlch
those organizations have been able &c
give the man that tolls, that man to-
day is not getting his full share OF the
proceeds of his own industry
Mr.. Bryan spoke to congregation
composed largely of coal miners at
the little mountain town of Seweu. He
told the people there that the Demo
cratic party stood for the arbitration OF
labor disputes and for representative
of the labor interest in the Cabinet OF
the President.
The meeting at Thurmond was held
in a gorge in the mountains and the
stand from which Mr.. Bryan spoke was
perched upon a steep cliff oa one side
OF the canyon. He was introduced by
General s.. Clair as peculiarly The can
didate of the workingman." Nj. Bryan
auaoted from Governor Rooseveif'S ar
ticle IL 1896 in regard to government by
injunction, and asked:
NV arnment by injdnctlony,
Replying to his own question, he
sal.
at is a process by which the labor
ing man is deprived of the right or trla
by Jury. The meanest thief who steals
lis entitled to tria, by jury and man
kills another, no matter whether from
revenge or for love of money, he is en-
titled to trial by jury; and if the murd.
erer and the thief are entitled to trla
by jury isn't the laboring man entitled
to trial by jury also?"
His audience at Thurmond was com
posed largely of coal mine men and
in closing Mr.. Bryan asked them to re-
member that their votes were their own
He warned them against allowing them
selves to be intimidated or their votes
purchased.
The meeting at Hinton was the last
of the day, and when it was concluded
Mr.. BRYAN left for Washington en- route
for Maryland to which State he will de-
vote tomorrow. Hinton is the home OF
State Chairman Miller and the meeting
here was in all respects one of the best
of the day. Mr.. Bryan made general
speech at this point. When some one
asked him about the necessity for a
large army in this country ne said that
if the Democratic plans for the settle
ment of dispute by arbitration for do
ing away with the blick-list and fol
adjustment of government by injunc-
ton could be put into execution there
would be no necessity for large army
The crowd at hinton was not only
large. but was noisily demonstrative
There were a number of shouts for Me-
Kinley at the beginning of the meet
