cluded the last speech of the day here

Joliet. At Peoria he spoke twice. The
audiences were generally large, but
those at Peoria, Quincy and Joliet were
specially so.
Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 1o.-The Bryan spe-
cial made a brief stop at Galesburg.
The original programme did not in
clude a speech at that place. as it
is conceded very strongly republican,
but it was decided at the last mo-
ment not to pass the town by without
any notice. Accordingly Mr.. Bryan
spoke for about ten minutes, going
very hurriedly over the issues of the
campaign. He had a big audience, and
received the closest attention. I'm
scheduled stops were also made at
Yates City, Elmwood and C~hillicothe.
When Mr.. Bryan reached the court
house square in Peoria the side on
which the speakers stand was erected
vas crowded with a great mass of hu-
manity. The carriage ride from the
depot to the ground was on streets
packed on both sides with shouting
and cheering admirers.
Answers n Criticism.
Macomb, H., Oct. 1O.-At Carthage
where there was a pig crowd, Mr.. Bry-
an took c~ognizance of the criticisms of
his personal participation in the cam
paign, saying:
81 have been criticised some time for GO
ing before the people as a presidential can
didate and discussing the questions before
the people, but according to my under
standing of politics the citizen is the SOW
ereign and the O~fficeholder Is the servant of
the people, and the citizens have a right
to know what the candidates think of pub
lie questions. They have a right to come
into contact with their public officials, and
If a candidate loses votes because the peo-
pie get acquainted with him, he ought not
to complain, for 1t is better to find him out
before the election than afterwards, If he is
bad"
