great many laborers Here again he re-
ferred TO the charges that he was evading
the old issues. and spoke at some length Ia
explanation or his course and that OF his
party in the campaign.
AT SALAMANCA.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for about forty minutes
at Salamanca, and while he was speaking
Mrs Bryan was entertained by commit
tee of women. The crowd at this place was
large and a fair degree of enthusiasm was
manifested. Introducing his speech Mr..
Bryan made an appeal for Republican
votes He said: mo one makes greater
mistake than the man who assumes that
any large number of the people desire bad
government, and no one makes
greater mistake than the man who
assumes that any large number Of the
people lack patriotism. You remember the
campaign or 1896 and you remember now
deeply the people were stirred, and you
remember that those who were with me in
tne campaign were called all sorts Of
names, and / myself did not escape; and
Yet within two years after that campaign
war broke out, and the President asked
lot volunteers, and the people responded,
and l think 1t is safe TO say that more
men responded who voted for me than re-
sponded who voted for the President HIM
sei1. There you found political differences
forgotten, and I think IL is safe TO say
tnat In every campaign and in every regi-
ment we found men differing in politics,
out loving their country. / know that in
my own regiment a majority or my own
ofhcers were Republican and majority
Oh the privates were with me, and so IL
was throughout the various regiments,
and then people found that the men
whon the Republicans called Anarchists
In 1896 were the Nations protection in 1S9S
l believe that If I were elected and war
broke out and / called for volunteers,
tnat Republicans would respond just like
democrats. Our people are patriots. and
these differences from time TO time on
political questions ought not to blind peo-
pie 10 the fact that back of all political
questions there is the purpose of the cit
zen 10 do the best with the light that he
has for his country and for posterity, and.
therefore, when / talk to you, when talk
tc republicans, / talk to them, not as
Republicans. but as citizens; not as peo-
love the country better than any party
III L cannot show a Republican a better
way to serve his country than by voting
the Republican ticket / do not expect him
to change his politics, but If / can show
Elm that the Democratic party offers him
a better opportunity TO voice his own sentt-
ment, protect his own rights and advance
his moral welfare than the Republican
party does. L have a right TO, believe that
can appeal to his judgment and his con-
science and draw him out of the Republic
an party"
IN A CHAUTAUQUA HALL.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at jamestown at 4:40
p. m. and a stop of about two hours was
made He made only brief speech. but
his principal address was made at Celeron.
three miles distant, on Lake Chautauqua.
He was escorted to that resort by a local
committee. The mode of conveyance was
trolley car. While the trolley trip was in
progress a heavy rainstorm came up.
When Mr.. Bryan alighted from the car
he found himself in a very wet atmosphere.
He was soon however. under shelter in a
large building called the Auditorium, where
he made his speech. This building holds
several thousand and every available bit
OF space was occupied. Mr.. BRYAN began
his speech with a discussion of the ques-
ton or prosperity, denying that there is
as general prosperity as has been claimed
On the subject he said in part:
GO TO your sweat shops if you will and
talk OF prosperity TO those who work in
the sweat shops. Go if you will and talk
prosperity 10 laboring man who has to
send his boys and girls away from home
to work when they ought to be in school.
Talk to him about prosperity. You want to
keep conditions just as they are. Why con-
oltions today are such that the men who
produce wealth are getting each year less
percentage OF the wealth they produce
While the Spectator is getting a larger
and larger per centage of the country's
wealth."
Giving his remedy for trusts Mr. Bryan
said that he would take the tariff off of
every truSt-manufactured article as one
means OF preventing the formation of trust
combinations But here" he said, you
nave been in favor of protection. Your
votes. show that your country has been
largely devoted to a protective tariff. But
how can any man defend a protective
tariff, when trust hides behind IL and
plumbers the American citizen and then
treats foreign nations more kindly than
the home country.
In closing Mr.. Bryan said: ct believe
from what 1 have seen I'm this State that
the Democracy of this State is united for
victory. You have had up here in this sec
ton your distinguished ex-senator and IL
Is not necessary for me to make speech In
this part of the State where Mr.. Hill has
discussed the issues of this campaign. You
find down in New York our people are
united there. In New York city, i'm Brook
lyn, all over this State, they are fighting
and they are determined that in this con-
test between American idea and q
European idea New York shall be on the
side OF the United States and not on the
side Eur0ne
