BRYAN APPEALS TO REPUBLICANS
HE TOUCHES ON THE QUESTION OF BI
METALLISM

Lincoln, Neb-. Aug 21.-AIr. Bryan addressed
large audience of Saunders County people at
Wahoo, the county seat, to-day. The speech
an appeal to Republicans to vote the Democratic
ticket. Giving his reasons for this appeal Mr..
Bryan said:
you are Just as anxious to help your country and
the Popust and the silver Republican are.
Now If you with us in 1896, there is
new questions have changed your opinion or I'M
less you have changed your opinion on the old

country who has changed his mind on those issues
and now believes that the Republican party was
who against the old issues who are
now with US on the new ones and will be on the
We had men in 'es who to us on the silver
over and vote the Republican ticket just because
the Republican party had changed its position
in 1888 when they denounced the gold standard;
Republicans who were in earnest when they advo-
fused to take the Republican position the money
m @ and bgan LOOKING 9 GHe R Re-
lican party from the outside they found that the
cah an 5sP hy are al wins ds mot
only on the silver question. but on all the new
questions also. (Applause)
In this connection Mr.. Bryan referred at some
length to the financial question, saying:
The Republican party is trying to-day the same
deception that it practised in 1895 the money
standard in 1896 Just they want 1t now but they
held out before the people the deuston of tnterna
t.onal bimetallism. The President sent commits
sion of three distinguished gentlemen. and they
were to labor with the European nations and try
to get those nations to help us. Did they sue
coed? or course they did not. We told you in
1886 that they would not succeed. You could not
expect England to join with US in restoring BIZ
metallism. II a sets his heart a thing
and does not get it he feels sorrowful You can
not find Republican to-day that felt sorrowful
because they did get international bimetallism
that they promised to get in 1896
Now. the Republican party to-day does not talk
In favor of silver ali. There is no talk about
international bimetaism If international bimetal-
ism good in 1896 II is good If the double
standard desirable in 1896 It is desirable now
Then why is II that the Republicans do not talk
about it? Because they did not want 1t in 1896
Mr. Bryan left Lincoln tonight for Auburn, in
the southern part Of the State. He will not re-
turn to Lincoln until after the Populist notifca-
ton ceremonies at Topeka
