THE HON. DAVID B. HILL
RECEIVED IN OVATION.
DEFINED THE DUTIES OF DEMO
Gratis IN THE PRESENT
CAMPAIGN.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
DISCUSSED, THOUGH IMPERIALISM
IS SURELY THE PARAMOUNT
ISSUE.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, October 1S.-Ex-
Senator David B. Hill arrived on
special train from Chicago at l o'clock
and was greeted by large crowd. He
was received with loud cheers when he
appeared, and opened his speech by de-
filming the duties of Democrats in the
present crisis He said, in part:
1T is submitted that it is the duty
of Democratic citizens everywhere to
support the nominations of the party
regularly and fairly made, even though
some party policies may not meet their
entire approval. II am sure that the
platform of no other party will suit
Democrats as we'll as the platform OF
their own party"
He claimed the great issue Of the cam
paign was Imperialism, overshadowing
the questions of trusts, finances, mon
etary reform, taxation, Capitalization,
government by injunction, home rule,
economy and other worthy questions.
He spoke of the Cuban question, claim
ing that the United States entered into
war with Spain for the cause of hui
manity and civilization, and with a
guarantee to leave the government
control Of the island to the people. The
same course should have been pursued
in regard to the Philippines. But in
stead of that course, the administra-
ton determined to annex the Philip
pines to the United States, claiming
to do SO partly by right of conquest
and partly by purchase.
Speaking of the financial question,
he said there could be no such thing
as single standard of money unless
that established standard is made the
final money. At the present time, while
Republicans claim we are under the
single standard, the government under
an act passed in June, 1898, and signed
by President Mckinley, is coming every
month 81 100000 In silver at the ratio
Of Is to 1 without the aid or consent of
any other nation on earth.
Mr.. Hill was frequently applauded
during his speech, the Opera House be-
ing packed, while hundreds were unable
TO gain admission. After his speech
Mr.. Hill was rendered a reception at the
Democratic headquarters.

AVOID THE REAL ISSUES.

He accused the Republicans OF avoid
ance of the real issues of the cam
paign, and asked: do they not insult
the intelligence Of American citizens
when they ask their votes, and yet
decline to outline what they are going
to do? Read the platform of our party,
compare it with the platform of the
Republican party, and you will find
the difference is that the Democratic
position Is stated with clearness that
admits of no ambiguity, while the Re-
publican party states its position in
glittering generalities and spends more
time Dragging about the rain than that
the Lord has sent than in talking of the
Imperial reign that the Republican
party intends to bring upon this coun-
try"
Referring to the trusts in the Utica
speech. he said:
IF the Democratic party is entrusted
with power it is pledged to put forth
every effort to destroy private monopo-
ly in nation, state and city, and think
that even the Republicans now give us
credit for being honest in my deter
animation to carry out the platform. In
fact. a Senator said the other day that
that was the great objection to me, that
was honest and therefore dangerous

SETTLEMENT A HOPEFUL
SIGN FOR DEMOCRACY

The Trusts Are BeSinning to Have a
Wholesome Regard for Public
Opinion.
CHICAGO, October 1S.-Chairman Jones,
of the Democratic National Committee,
said to-day:
THE settlement of the miners strike
indicates clearly the fact that the trusts
are beginning TO have a wholesome regard
for public opinion. They would not have
yielded to the demands of the men except
from fear that the consequences might
be disastrous to the administration which
is the friend of the trusts. This public
lesson will not be lost. It means that the
trusts are themselves afraid Of the people
and 1t is q hopeful sign for the Democra-
cy."

TEN-MINUTE SPEECHES.

Mr.. Bryan made ten-minute speeches
at the four towns of Oneida, Canastota,
Chittenango and De Witt. At Oneida.
he said:
Il do not want to harbor an ambition
that rests for its qualification on what
other people do. | prefer that my
highest ambition shall rest for its graft
fication upon what can do myself, and
then l can avoid disappointment; and
my highest ambition is the same as
your highest ambition should be, name
ly, to do what / can to make this coun-
try so good that to be a private citizen
here will be greater than to be a king
in any other nation on earth"
The Canastota speech was made from
a carriage near the railroad station.
and was addressed ito farmers. Mr..
Bryan here repeated his declaration
that the Republicans had amended the
commandments so as to read: Thou
shalt not steal-on a small SCALE" and
suggested another amendment to the
ten commandments as being in conse-
quence with the Republican policies;
making one of them read: Thou shalt
not kill, unless there are more of you
than of the other fellows"

SYRACUSE, n. Y, October 1S.-Hon.
William j. Bryan continued his tour
of the Empire State to-day, travelling
half way across it from east to west.
He began his journey at Albany, and
following the course of the picturesque
Mohawk and the line of the Erie canal,
he reached this point late in the after
noon. From here he made run north
ward to the southern shore of Lake
Ontario, and made speech of half an
hours duration at Oswego. Returning
to this city later, he spoke here to-
night
The other points at which he spoke
during the day were Schenectady, Am
sterdam, fonda, Johnstown, Glovers-
Vile, Fort Plain, Little Falls, Herki-
mer, Ilion, Frankfort, Utica, Rome,
Oneida, Canastota, Chittenago and De
Witt. The attendance of the majority
Of the meetings was mplimentary in
size, and some of the audiences were
large. In comparatively few places
was there marked enthusiasm. There
was, however, close attention in every
instance and in no case was there any
interruption worthy Of note. The
Oswego meeting was the best attended
and in other respects the most notable

Mr.. Bryan reached the picturesque
town of Little Falls, the center OF a
large knitting interest, during the noon
hour He spoke there from a stand
erected alongside of one of the local
factories and talked for about twenty
minutes to a large crowd, which was
attentive, if not demonstrative. He re-
ferred here to the criticisms of his tour
and said that he knew Of no reason why
man who was asking the suffrage OF
the people should not show himself to
tnem
Herkimer also turned out a large
crowd, and the enthusiasm was quite
marked. Mr. Bryan devoted himself en-
tirely to the consideration of the inter-
eests of the farmers, and repeated his
declaration that the Republican party
proposes no legislation in the interest
of that class of citizens.
TOOK A COURSE" DINNER.
At Ilion, Mr.. Bryan spoke for i've
minutes. He had good audience, and
he referred to the fact, saying that he
took the presence of SO many people as
an indication that it was not necessary
to prosecute war of conquest in order
to make market for guns This was
a reference to the location of the arms
factory which has its headquarters here.
Frankfort did not turn out very big
crowd, but it was an enthusiastic one.
He again gave his attention almost ex-
clusively to the trusts, and he said that
the people of this place did not have to
be told of the effect of consolidation
of interests, as they had their expert
ence in the railroads.
The stops for the speeches at Herki-
mer, lion and Frankfort were all made
while Mr.. Bryan was at dinner. but he
submitted good-naturelly to the inter-
ruptions.
Closing his Rome address, Mr.. Bry-
an said:
Il believe it was here that the first
American flag was raised. | want you
to look at that flag. l want you to see
il you can find in that flag anything
that represents a subject. The white
stands for the purity of our national
nations motives; the red stands for
the blood shed in the purchase of lib
erty, and the stars represent the States,
and every territory sees in the future a
star of hope that will some day find its
place in the constellation. But where
il that flag is anything a subject or a
vassal can look to and love? I do not
want to change that flag. | would a
thousand times rather haul it down and
let the Filipinos have their own flag,
than change our flag to the flag of an
empire and smear it with the blood of
conquest"

INSULTING PLACARDS.

At most of his stopping places to-
day Mr.. Bryan was confronted by large
and conspicuously posted bills warning
the people against him. These bills
announced in large, red letters Bryan
is here" and then gave extracts from
his speeches at Knoxville, Tenn, in
1896, and at GAINESVILLE, O., last Sep
TENDER, and then adding:
This means national dishonor and in
dustrial collapse. A vote for Bryan is
a vote for low wages or no wages,
bread riots and soup houses. Hard
times"
Mr.. Bryan spoke from balcony in
front of Stanwix hall in Rome Immedi-
ately in front or him were suspended
large portraits of the Democratic NOM
inees on the ticket, while only few
steps away the portraits of Mckinley
and Roosevelt also swung across the
street. His audience at this place was
large and attentive, and the speech was
punctuated with frequent bursts of ap-
plause. Expressing his pleasure at
being in Rome. Mr.. Bryan said that the
large attendance could not be ac-
counted for on the ground of curiosity,
because he had been in this city before
and the people here had an opportunity
to see and hear him.

INA TRUST RIDDEN TOWN.

In his speech at Gloversville, Mr..
Bryan referred particularly to the dan
ger of the glove trusts, affecting the
count yof Fulton in large degree. In
response to inquiries, he said that he
would destroy trusts by removing the
tariff from all goods which they manu-
featured in order to prevent an in
crease in prices at home and so they
could not sell goods abroad in competi-
ton with foreign manufacturers. He
ignored queries regarding silver. He
said that he would, if elected, immedl-
ately give independence to the natives
of the Philippine Islands and then pro-
tect them from outside interference.
The crowd which greeted Mr.. Bryan
was composed of several thousand peo-
ple but there was no marked enthusi-
asm. The candidate asserted that the
crowd would have been larger If the
manufacturers OF the city had not pre-
vented their employees from leaving
