BRYAN POOLING HIMSELF.
He Tells the People of Terre Haute He
Expects to Garry Indiana.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 15.-W. j. Bryan made
several speeches to-day on his way from
Columbus TO this city. At Terre Haute he
was given only five minutes time, but he
made a speech expressing his confidence in
the Democratic outlook of the State at the
forthcoming election. I'VE are counting on
Indiana this year for it's old-time Demo-
cratic majority" he said, and the crowd
shouted back You'll get it," The talk was
informal and along general lines, as in
many of his brief speeches As the train
moved out he said I'm 1896 the people
came TO us in the hone of securing an
American financial system; this time they
are coming TO us because they want to
continue our American system of govern
ment."
At Effingham, H., Mr.. Bryan referred to
the affairs in South Africa in the follow
ing language: IF the Republicans say they
believe in republican form of government
you tell them that when king dies Re
publican President Will send a message of
coincidence; but that when two republics
not express our regret. / want you TO ask
your Republican friends what has made
the change in the Republican party. In 1896
the Republicans were not afraid to say
that they sympathiZed with the struggling
patriots in the island just south of us. But
now. when Paul Kruger has been defend
ing the existence of republic, and has
been driven step by step from his own
dares send across the ocean one word of
sympathy 10 men whose heroism revives
the memories of Marathon and Thermo-
pylae."
The suggestion was received with APP
plause. Mr.. Bryan also said: IF any Re
publican boasts that We have more money
now than we had in 1896 you show him
Mr. McKinley's letter of acceptance of
that year wherein he said we don't need
any more money. If we did not need any
more money in 1896, why do they brag OF
there being more money than We had at
that timer
At Greenville, Mr. Bryan took cogniZance
OF the frequent calls OF small boys in the
crowd for Mckinley. Addressing himself
10 the parents of such boys he told them
that IL the Republican policy should pre-
vail they could count upon raising their
boys 10 send TO the army to be sent away
TO distant lands to fight and give up their
lives in exchange for Oriental trade. This
would, he said. be the inevitable result of
a policy of militarism such as. he alleged.
the Republican party was fostering After
Mr.. Bryan had concluded the boys set up
another shout for Mckinley. This brought
cut a counter demonstration. and as the
train pulled out only cheers could be heard.
The crowd at Greenviile was exceptionally
large. Mr.. Bryan was met there by large
committee OF Democratic leaders. who es-
corted MIN TO East st. Louis There Mr..
Bryan made a public address OF an hours
length. touching upon the principal issues
Of the campaign. He spoke In the open air
