AT C. B. LANDISs HOME.
Mr. Bryan left the train at Delphi and
spoke in the courthouse yard. His audi
ence was large and was composed prsnci-
pally of farmers. The speech was delivered
TO them and was devoted principally to the
trusts and discussion of the standing
army. Mr.. Bryan again referred TO the
claim on the part Of the Republicans that
we are prosperous. and. as on many pre-
vious occasions. asked, who's WEI" Re-
plying TO his own question. he said that
the bankers. the army contractors and the
ship owners and trust magnates might be
prosperous. but that the farmers and Ia
borers were not getting their share OF the
proceeds or their own toll. He said fur
ther: Within year Mr.. Gates of the

continued, you will find the heads OF syn

party the right 10 plumber all the farmers

farmer can be deceived? Isn't IL strange
that a farmer cannot tell which party 10

see a Republican farmer dangling from

IN MS speech at Monticello Mr. Bryan as
serted that the Republicans had abandoned
their Issue OF prosperity and failed In their
plan or campaign Mr.. Bryan said that
they We're now resorting TO the same pro-
cess OF intimidation 10 which. he said. they
resorted In 1896. IF an employer says that
the laboring man VIII lose his job If he
votes for me-" he continued, the laboring
man can tell his employer that IL the times
are half as good as Republicans say they
are a man ought to be able to get another
job In very short time"
Discussing the question of imperialism
MI. Bryan said: "A Republican said not
long ago that nations might die whether
they expanded or not, but that only ex-
panding nations left q glorious history IL
is not necessary that a Republic should die.
The empire based on force will fall when
a superior force arises. but a Republic.

ment here. remember that he is entitled TO

APPEAL TO REPUBLICANS.
Mr.. Bryan's speech to the large audience
which greeted him at Monon was an appeal
to Republicans to lay aside party prejudice
and act upon the basis OF patriotism. He
said that while many Republicans disap-
proved the position OF their party on many
questions, they would try TO silence their
consciences and avoid leaving their party.
The Republican leaders seemed to think
that the rank and file Of the party would
vote for anything. just so 1t was il the
platform, but he believed thsy would be
disappointed in this expectation at the COM
ing election. for the masses OF the party
could not fail TO see that that party mokes
the poor man pay more than his share OF
the cost OF government and the rich man
less than his. Hence he believed that tks
patience Of many would soon become ex-
hausted, and that they would express them
selves in no uncertain tones. Referring to
the standing army. he said IT was strange
that Republicans, who had in the past
boasted that we do not need a large or
ganized force, now declare, as the President
had officially done. that we need an army
of 100000 He announced himself as favor
able TO citizen soldiery, and said he would
have the Filipinos given immediate assur
ance of their independence. IF we love
liberty here" said he, ''let us protect lib
erty in the Philippines"
Mr. Bryan ran into a Republican meet
ing al Rensselaer,. When he arrived at the
meeting place there was a large crowd
there 20 greet him, and on the outskirts OF
the crowd were a number Of men on horse
back and in Rough Rider uniform. There
were also many yellow badges scattered
through the crowd, and IL was evident that
there WAS MAS GOOD deal OF tb Me eii sent
Bryan said:
II am sorry that it has so happened that
my meeting comes on the same day as the
Republican meeting, but In arranging this
visit il was not possible to make IL on any
other day, and sure that here We can
meet together as members of different par
ties ana tlat IneFe 0eeQ De no IIlctlOn De-
tween those who think as l do and those
who are opposed to the opinions which
advocate. / am sure, too, that IL will not
do Republicans any harm to listen 10 a
Democratic speech, and 1 hope that the
Democrats will return the courtesy shown
by these Republicans by listening 10 the
Republican speeches which are TO be de-
Hvered, for no party has any claim upon
the voter except as the party can show that
IL Is the best means by which the voter can
serve his country, and We are willing TO
submit our principles and our defense 10
the conscience and TO the judgment of the
American people"
Mr.. Bryan, In discussing the money ques-
ti0n. said he lad not changed his views
as to silver.
There was a brief stop at the town OF
Lowell which was not originally on the
programme
Mr.. Bryan was listened to by a large and
attentive crowd in the city of Hammond,
which was the last stopping place in In
diana. In his speech at that point he gave
ment by injunction, saying, among other
things:
Since the last election men have been
shot down on the highway by government
injunction, and the laboring man realizes
that government by injunction Is merely
a process by which a laboring man il de-
prived or trial by jury when he comes into
conflict with great corporation. The
meanest thief is entitled 10 trial by jury,
the blacklist murderer is entitled 10 trial
by jury. and we insist that laboring man.
who is neither thief nor murderer, Is also
entitled TO trial by jury. We want TO aDol-
ism government by injunction. The Repub-
licans have not tried TO do IL. and not one
on that subject. but the Republican candi-
date for Vice President wrote something
about four years ago. During the cam
paign he had occasion 10 express himself
