Anderson, Ind. Oct. 5.-The meeting
which closed here at 10 O'Clock tonight
was the last of a series of remarkably
large political demonstrations made in
connection with the appearance of Will
liam J. Byran in Indiana.
Mr.. Bryan left indianapolis early this
morning with. the intention of visiting
during the day as many places as posi-
bic in what is known as the Grass Belt
of the state. In pursuance of that pur-
pose he almost circled the city of
Indianapolis, visiting no fewer than
nine counties and making an even
dozen speeches.
The speeches were made in succession
at Noblesville. Arcadia. Upton. Ell
wood, Alexandria, Marion, Hartford
: City, Muncie. Winchester, Richmond,
+ New Castle and Anderson. A majority
OF these places are important manu-
featuring centres and all the COM
munities traveTsed are considered Re
publican in politics. They could NOT.
however. have given the Democratic
candidate more cordial reception than
they extended if the sentiment had
Deen DrOnOuncedIy for him There
were immense OutpOuringS at all the
towns visited, and no Interruptions
indicating pronounced opposition oc-
CURED On the contrary, there was at
most places much enthusiasm mani
tested by Mr.. Bryan's supporters, and
after the last speech was concluded he
IMPRESSED himself as greatly pleased
with the days experiences
Tr1sts formed the subject of Mr.
Bryan first speeches of the day but
at richmond, Mr. Bryan devoted all
MS time TO Imperialism. The presiding
officer at the Richmond meeting was
Henry U. johnson, formerly a promi-
nent member of congress and until re-
Gently pronounced Republican.
Points to Bryan.
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking at
Marion some one in the audience asked
IN regard to the anti-negro law. Mr..
Bryan said:
My friend, am glad that you asked
me that; am prepared for you. Now
1 am going to assume that the Re
publican who asked the question is an
honest man am going to ask him
ABOUT the constitution of the ReDubli-
can state OF oregon. l viii read a pro-
vision or that constitution. 1t says:
Section % - No free negro or
muiatto not residing IN this state at
the time of the adoption of this consti-
tutlon shall come, reside, or be within
this state, hold any real estate or make
any contract or maintain any such
therein, and the legislative assembly
shall provide by penal laws for the re-
moVal by public officers of all such
negroes or mulattos, or for their eff
tsctua1 exclusion from the state and
for the punishment of persons who
shall bring them into the state or en-
ploy or harbor them
THAT amendment was adopted be
lore the civil war; il makes it unlawful
Tor a free negro to go into the state,
and It authorizes the officers to put
him out But you say that ii is old
Let me remind you that last June an
effort was made to repeal that portion
or the constitution and the effort to
repeal it was defeated, although the
state went Republican"
Feels Sure of Indiana.
At Upton Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by j. w. Kern, candidate for governor,
as the next president
Mr.. Bryan said in response:
1 am glad to be introduced to you
by the next governor of Indiana for.
whatever may become of my chance in
this race, do not think there is much
doubt about Indiana. Mr.. Kern only
has Indiana to fight while have forty
four other states"
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust cues
ton and said that the Republicans
gained power in 1896 by trust cOntrfbu-
tons.
The Republican party needs more /
money now than it did them he said, ]
and it could not get it if it did not 1
stand with the trusts
At ElwOOd, Mr.. Bryan referred to the /
visit of President Mckinley to the /
place when the tin plate works were /
opened, saying:
To-day the Republican party must |
meet its record on the trust question. \
On the army question and on the CO.
OniaI question Whenever an insti- /
tuition is opened the Republicans make |
a great day of it and invite distin-
suished people from abroad to be pres
ant at the opening, but when a trust !
closes a factory they do not invite a
president or anybody else to preside at
he closing.
I find that the tin plate trust has
closed tin plate mills all over the coun-
Try. find that these trusts. organized
% monOpolize the trade and control
he market and fix the price on raw
and finished product and the
price of labor. are today DESTROYING in
iustrial independence and condemning
,ur children to perpetual clerkship I'M
Ter monopoly.
The Republican party is building up
IN industrial despOtism that compels !
Millions of people to get on their knees
n the morning and pray to the trust !
give US this day our daily bread 1
want to ask you whether you believe il
S a good system
Mr.. Bryan again referred to the clos
ng down of a part of the works of the |
'arbed wire and wire nail trust until
fter election and said what does II
nean? 1t means intimidation of the
1t means that the manu-
acturer when he has a MONOPOLY will |
-ttempt to coerce his employees"
