policemen rushed to the spot where the
man sat who had fired the bomb grab
bed him and hustled him and his cam
era out into the aisle and out of the
Garden. There was another attempt tc
renew the cheering, but Kisses greeted
it and Mr.. Bryan began speaking. Mr.
Bryan began quietly, his voice being
scarcely audible hundred feet away
but he gradually spoke louder and in
moment his voice could be heard in the
galleries.
The crowd listened in silence for a
time but when the speaker declared
that the democratic party recognized
the right of ability of mind and muscle
to the fruits of it's toll the crowd broke
forth into cheering.
MI Bryan referred to the vast au-
dience before him, and said that 1t IN
dicated on interest in the campaign
which rust be gratifying to ali VINO
realized the Importance of the questions
involved lie declared that he was not
vain enough to accept the enthusiasm
manifested as a personal tribute to
! himself because, he said, 1.-THE individ-
I u1l counts LOT IlOlillIS tAttPt AliS'" iAN
may be the instrument used by the peo-
pie to carry out their own will"
He Immediately entered upon a de-
Tense of the democratic cause and said;
''To say that the people gathered here
who support our cause are the enemies
of honest wealth is a Islander which
could not be uttered without the one
who uttered it knew it to be false. We
are not opposed to that wealth which
+ comes as the reward of honest toll and
! is employed by those who give to So
ciety something in return for that
which society throws upon them.
THE democratic party to-day is not
only not the enemy of honest wealth,
but the democratic party of to-day is
the bast friend of that wealth that rep
resents ability of muscle or of mind en-
+ ployed in it's accumulation"
He went on to say that the party
/ draws the line between honest wealth
and predatory wealth. between the
wealth which simply measures the ad-
vantages which some citizen has taken
over many citizens"
He declared that no honest industry,
no honest occupation, no honest man
need fear the success of the democratic
party. 1.-THE democratic party" he
said, showed its honesty by stating
what it will do
He asked for a comparison of the
democratic platform with the republic
can party platform and expressed con-
fidence that any honest man making
such comparison must be convinced of
the sincerity of the democratic declara-
ton and the hypocrisy of the republi-
can platform. Taking up the republi-
can declaration of principles, Mr.. Bry-
an said that that party Is not prepared
to-day to make a fight on any question
before the country. And" he contin-
ued, IF you want proof let me remind
you that the republican party to-day
instead of presenting a great principle
and defending it is presenting an APP
peal to every class of people supposed
to be apprcachable in any direction"
He then went on TO enumerate the
various classes to which, he said the
republicans We're making appeals, and
he Included in the list the farmer, the
laborer, etc.
1T gives the laborer," he said, "the
assurance that he will have full din
ner pail and then If assures him that
there will be large army to make him
self satisfied with his full dinner paid"
Referring further to the republican
claim of prosperity Mr.. Bryan claimed
he was willing to admit that the army
contractors and the trust magnates
mi oh hp
gets special privileges at the hands of
the government can prosper under re-
publican administration, he said, "but
1 deny that the wealth producers of
the country are enjoying their share of
the governments productions"
AT this point there were cries If
Hanna! HANNAH Mr.. Bryan merely
responded by asking his audience not to
trifle with a great name.
Taking up the subject Of trusts, Mr.,
Bryan declared that they had grown
under this administration more rapidly |
than ever before, and he asserted that |
the republicans refused to meet the is
sues they created. He declared that
the president spends more time warn
ing you not to hurt your good trusts
''''''i Az 'OSS tCiiilS you HOW 10 IuTl
the bad ones"
In the same connection he referred to |
the position of Governor Roosevelt and |
Senator Hanna on the subjects Of trusts
and a reference in both instances was
met with groans and Kisses.
Mr. Bryan again quoted from Presi-
dent McKinley's inaugural address on
the subjects of trusts and charged chat
the president had neither enforced the
existing antitrust laws nor recommend
ed new ones.
Mr.. Bryan referred to the ice trust,
that apparently this was the
only trust of which republicans had any
knowledge. IF any republican tells
you" he said, that the ice trust is
hurting the people you tell them that
you have 50 much confidence in the re-
publican governor that you know that
he would not be out west making
speeches If the people were suffering
rom the ice trust" This remark was
'eceived with cheers.
Mr.. Bryan outlined his remedy for
trusts which he has frequently given in
lis former speeches. He then turned
his attention to the increases of the
standing army, and when he asked if
We should have a large army in the
United States there were several re-
3ponses of mo! MOI" in the audience
