BRYAN SPEAKS TO
 THE TRAVELLERS
Annual Banquet of the Nebraska
 Organization.
TWO HUNDRED PRESENT
Eloquent Democratic Leader Spoke sss Against Trusts and Advocated Free Coinage-Gave Lucid Explana-
 tion of Danger ofImperialism

Lincoln, Neb., January 5.4The fourth an- nual banquet of the Nebraska Travelling Mems Bryan club was held last night at the Lincoln hotel. and following the meet ings of the state central committees of the democratic. populists and free silver repub- ncans attracted a notable gathering of supporters of MT. Bryan from all three par ties, not only of Nebraska, but from neighboring western states.
 Nearly two hundred travelling men and their guests sat down at the tables short ly before 10 o'clock.
 MT. Bryan's address was the feature He complmented the club on the increasing importance of it's banquets and praised the members for their political seal. Touching on national topics, he said, in part:
 We are now near enough to the national convention to feel assured that there will be no considerable opposition to the re-af- irmation of the Chicago platform. The late election destroyed the last hope Of those who sought to modify or subtract from the creed enunciated at Chicago in 1S96 The republican party has been driven under the lash of the financiers to the open espousal of the gold standard, and spurred on by the national banking corporations, it has avowed it's purpose to drive the greenbacks out of circulation and substi- tute a fbank note issued and controlled by the national banks.
 1.-The democratic party still contends for the restoration of bimetallism at the ratio of 16 to 1, the only ration advocated by those who believe in the double standard. It also contends for the greenback as against the hank note.
 Opposed the Money Trusts
 ''The members of this club were opposed ito the money trust in 1S96 and they are not surprised that the vicious trust principle dnas been extended to industrial combina- ttons, which have in three years thrown out of employment large numbers of com mercial travellers. The democratic party will deal with the trust question. not in glittering generalities, but in specific terms, l and will invite the support or all those who l are opposed to the domination of private 1 monopolies."
 | Mir. Bryan discussed the trust question 1 at some length, and then taking up the l subject of imperialism. he said: l Commercial travellers who sought the extension of made by peaceful and legit l mate means will not lend their support tt the imperialistic methods employed in tht furtherance of conquest. The commercial traveller has been eminently successful as a persuader He will not substitute vio lence for reason.
 {. The questions now before the people arc but different manifestations of a vicious principle which Cpervades all republican policies, namely, that the dollar is all important, and that the struggling hu- manity deserves no consideration"
 Governor Poynter, Governor Thomas oi Colorado and Hon. Cato Sells of Iowa re- sponded to toasts.
