MR.. BRYAN IN MARYLAND.
Good Audiences Hear the Democratic
Candidate on the East shore.

Candidate ON the East shore.
EASTON, Md, October 24.-The
Democratic Presidential candidate last
night abandoned railway coaches and
other land carriages for trip on the
water. He came down Chesapeake
bay from Baltimore to the hamlet of
Claiborne, on the eastern shore OF
Maryland, and he has devoted the
forenoon of to-day to canvassihg that
section of the State. speaking at the
towns of st. Michaels, Easton, Preston,
Hurlock, Vienna, Salisbury and Berlin.
He left the boat at Claiborne, and from
that point travelled by special train.
At st. Michaels, the first stopping
place Of the day, Mr.. Bryan spoke to
small number of people who had
congregated there. Among those in
the crowd were some colored people,
and to them Mr. Bryan addressed HIM
self to some extent. Before speaking
to the colored people, he referred to the
question of trusts. He maintained
that the Republican party was suggest
ing no remedy for the trusts, and that
the reason why this was so was that
the Republican campaign contributions
came from the trusts.
On the race question, Mr.. Bryna
said: at is one of the strange things
we see in this campaign that the Re-
publican party goes to black man
and urges that man to say by his vote
that the brown man In the Philippines
has not a right to voice In this gov
eminent. And it seems to me that be-
fore black man votes to disfranchise
a brown man he had better find out
upon what basis his own right stands,
for if we deny to the Filipino the right
to govern himself, what right have we
to govern ourselves. 1t cost hundreds
of thousands Of lives and millions of
money to give the black man the Dec
laration of Independence, and now we
are spending hundreds and thousands,
yes, millions of dollars and wasting
lives to take the Declaration of Inde-
pendence away from the brown man.
Before the black men of this country
vote the Republican ticket they had
better look into the matter and find
out what the chance of the black man
is to be when we draw race line and
say IUdt DCSduoc a lIcii III tuS nip
pine islands is brown and not of our
race, we will send a carpet bag gov
eminent over and hold that govern
ment by force from him with a stand
ing army We believe in the Declara-
ton of independence and if we have
race problems to solve here we think
it Is better to solve them than to go
seven thousand miles away from home
to get another race problem and enter
upon its solution, not here at home,
but so far away from home as the Phil
ippine islands are
Easton was the scene of a large
gathering. This is the county seat of
Talbot county, an important agricul-
tural center, and here Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed himself especially to the farm
ers. Referring to the trusts, Mr.. Bry-
an told his hearers that they were
especially dangerous to the farming
community. you will f1nd,' he said,
that 1t will take great deal of faith
for a Republican to find any reason
for voting the Republican ticket this
year. 1t is said that faith is the sub
stance of things hoped for and the
evidence Of things not seen, and the
Republican faith this year is much like
that. 1t is substance of things hoped
for and the evidence Of things not
SEEN"
