FIRST SPEECH OF THE DAY.
AT jamestown, Ind, this morning Mr..
Bryan spoke for ten minutes to a good
crowd at the station, dealing with the gen.
eral issues OF the campaign. He addressed
himself especially TO the farmers, de-
ciaring that none of them had any stock In
the trusts. and saying that the Republican
party had no policy calculated in any way
to improve the condition of the agricul-
tural community.
Mr.. Bryan was received at Crawfords-
vile by a fair sized crowd. He there
charged the Republican party with de-
parture from the principles of the fathers.
quoted Lincoln on the Declaration of In
dependence and paid a tribute to that in
strument saying:
Let US stand by the principles set forth
in the Declaration of Independence. That
immortal document was written by Thomas
Jefferson and to its maintenance he ami
his compatriots pledged their lives. their
fortune and sacred honor. And, yet, in
higher and broader sense it was not the
work of human hands 1t was rather
bow of promise which the sunlight of truth
shining through tears cast upon the clouds.
1t assured the world that the waters of
despotism had reached their flood and were
receding. God grant that they may never
rise again..
Mr.. Bryan summed up in a few words
Gust as he has frequently done) what he
characterized as the inconsistencies Of the
Republican party. Speaking Of the infiu-
ence of trusts upon communities Mr.
Bryan said:
"You yourselves have seen something of
the effects of the monopoly. You have seen
how in the campaign of 1896 in your own
factory here the people were warned that
ployment, but If Mr.. McKinly was elected
they would have employment; and yet
trust took in the factory and closed 1t
down and you have lost that factory to-
day or would have lost il but for the fact
that there is now a match factory there
But you have got a Diamond match trust
and unless you destroy trusts that Diamond
match trust will destroy your factory here
and run it out of business"
Every OF Mr.. Bryan's statements
at Charlottesville had been refuted last
Tuesday night by the Hon; {; b. Lands.
much of an impression Mr.. Taggart was
recognized and called upon for speech,
but failed to respond. honoring the crowd
with one of his expansive smiles instead.
Mr.. Bryan was presented with large
bunch of yellow chrysanthemums. the
same kind that the Republicans have been
wearing for several days as emblematic of
the gold standard 1t was announced that
Judge Kent, of Cincinnati, would address
the crowd after Bryans departure, but
scarcely any one stayed TO hear him. There
were many women in the crowd and quite
a number of Republicans but the farmers
and the iaboring men were conspicuous by
that Bryan seemed to have lost his old
time magnetism and failed to create the
when he he si Visited tied crawfordsviiie.
stop of less than five minutes was made
at the small town of Darlington and Mr..
Bryan contented himself with suggesting
questions 10 be propounded 10 Repupncans
Among those questions were inquiries as to
whether people want the trusts and
whether they can depend upon the Repub-
lican party to destroy them He also
wanted TO ask why they need 1900 more
soldiers now than we did four years ago.
also what we were going 10 DO with the
Filipinos when we get them. In conclu-
sion he told his hearers that they should
make their votes represent what they want
in the form of government and laws.
ALIENS CANDIDACY DOOMED.
At Frankfort Mr.. Bryan devoted a por-
ton of his speech 20 the advocacy of the
candidacy of Captain Allen for Congress.
Mr.. Allen is i'm command of a company of
American soldiers in the Philippines, and
Mr.. Bryan made this fact the basis OF his
remarks. He said in part:
"In this district you have as candidate
for Congress Captain Allen of your
town. / suppose the Republicans call him
a copperhead and say he is against the ad-
ministration. He is doing his duty as a
soldier and is obeying the commands of the
President. We ought not have a Presi-
dent who would command army 10 go
1000 miles away from home to destroy the
right OF people TO govern themselves. II
we win cur fight the world will be notified
that intend TO recognize the right of
other people as we defend our own, and
Captain Allen will have a chance TO come
home and bring back those boys whom the
Republican party is willing TO exchange
for trade i'm the Philippine islands"
Mr. Bryan repeated the promise made in
the indianapolis speech TO call Congress
in extraordinary session in case Of his
election, to consider the Philippine ques-
tion- On that point he said: I'VE want TO do
for the Fiipinos what France did for US.
France helped us TO gain our liberty and
then left US TO enjoy IL after we got IT.
We helped the Fiiipinos TO get their lib
erty: let us leave them 10 enjoy V now
that they have II"
He also referred TO the charges of pecu-
lation In Cuba. and in leading up 10 this
charge asserted that upon no nation had
