been made at Middletown and Miamisburg,
where the Governor spoke to large audi

city have handed me an abstract of the
increase In their business. Their increase

four years, and the increase in business
have been at about the rate of 40 per
cent. on the average, and they paid in
wages amounts varying from As per

81 have driven out to-day, and in the
carriages came men like Generals Wood
and S~ickles-Sickles of my own State,
a man who has been a Democrat, who was
a Democratic sheriff OF New York county,
but he was such a good one tina Tammany
did not altogether like him ~[ApplauseJ; a
man who has served his country in war
and In peace. but who ceased to be iden-
titled with the Democracy when the
Democracy went after false gods, when il
identified itself at home with the cause of
dishonest money and disorder and anarchy,
and abroad with the dishonor Of the flag.
lApplause.l
between great parties you ought TO know
that the parties really stand for the poll
cies they represent In other words. the
first thing to demand is whether the party
or the party leader is sincere. Mr.. Bryan
has just been through your State. The
other day he put ten questions / answered
everyone the day after. Applause He
cannot ask a question that L will not
answer. nor can he raise an issue on which
/ will not meet him [Applausel. because We
are fortunate enough to know where we
stand. We are fortunate enough in having
issues that don't wear thin anywhere in
the country. / asked Mr.. Bryan four ques-
tons in return for the ten 1 have answered
and he won't answer one. IApplause.l
MIR. Bryan has just moved into my own
State. to try to help that apostle OF poll
teal purity, the Hon. Richard Croker
TApplausel to get control of the State gov
eminent and bring it down to the level of
infamy to which he has reduced the gov
eminent of New York city. lApplause.l VIII

Croker and Mr.. Van Wyck? AT the Kan
sas City convention Mr.. Van Wyck was
one of those who drew up the antitrust
plank OF the platform. for he was on the
committee on resolutions. Will HI de-
nounce these men for that hypocrisy In as
