DOLLIvER,s ADDRESS.
The Senator Discusses the ssParas
nouut'' ana Other Issues.
AT the opera house the best OF order
prevailed after the immense crowd had
made itself az comfortable as possible
under the circumstances. and Senator
Delivers keen wit. biting sarcasm and
masterful logic were listened to with
close attention, marked with vigorous
applause. After several selections by
the Forty-ninth band and the Midland
quartet, Senator Dolliver was intro
duced by County Chairman George RI.
! Est sta brook. Mr.. Dolliver, after review
ING the spoIiticalT history OF the past few
years and drawing comparisons there
from. said, among other things:
Me issues which the. democratic
party are making in this campaign are.
to my mind, not issues at all. They
are merely noises. The first noise that
I nave heard ls that we are to be swal-
lowed up by mflitarism. Now have
read the history of the United States
army very carefully and defy any liv-
Ing man to put his finger on page OF
that history which records an act OF
hostility by the army of the United
States against the liberties or the well
fare OF the people.
The standing army of the United
states now amounts TO SO of a man,
With corresponding fraction Of gun
to every 1000 OF the population Of the
United States-less by half than IL was
when Thomas Jefferson uttered his
historic protest against a standing
army in the United States.
Now have read the history Of the
United States army and want 10 tell
you something, especially the young
man and the young woman who do me
the honor to listen tome now. There is
not page. in the history OF the United
States that records an act OF hostility
by the American army, either against
the liberties or the welfare of the
| American people. cloud applause.)
The only army that this country has to
fear Is Coxey's army, q strictly popu-
Hist Institution.
Mr.. Bryan said the other day at
Topeka when he was taking on che of
the nominations don't remember
now which one 1t was-that his heart
bled every time he thought OF the
precious lives our soldiers were losing
and the blood they were shedding in
the Philippine islands. Well, If he
feels that way about 1t, why in Gods
name doesn't he stop giving add and
comfort to the armed enemies Of the
United States? (Applause.)
II remember one thing that Mr.,
Bryan has dwelt upon. He said that
lie the gold standard was established in
1.-the United States labor would find
Itself altogether without wages and
without employment Yet Mr. Carroll
ID. Wright said the other day, and he is

is how TO hold on to the miserable
