placed squarely before US again in this
campaign. They are represented by YIN.

He then introduced ex-Judge David J.
Pancoast as presiding officer lie said in
part
Looking at the vast multitude gath
cred here, and knowing the effect ! can
say that this meeting is going to make
political history in New Jersey. It is
the pivotal point in which the old
State will swing back into the Democratic
column where it belongs. l see that Mark
Hanna has given the State to the Republi-
caus. Mark is radically wrong
Ohio has given the country five Presi-
dents, not including Mark Hanna, but
this time she will not give us Mckinley.
The people have awakened. /"
Frank W Tussey, Of Camden, was Sec
ertary, and read long list of Vice Presi-
dents.
Candidate George Pfeifer, Jr, told of
the crusade against illegal voting in
Camden, and promised if elected to be a
true servant Of the people.
Congressman William J. Sultzer, of New
York, talked an hour, and then ex-Gover-
nor Robert E. Patterson, of Pennsylvania,
was introduced, but before he had been
speaking fifteen minutes there was a
booming Of cannon and cries Of Bryan.
Gov. Patterson's speech was cut short at
this point, and William J. Bryan was
introduced amid a scene of enthusiasm
never before witnessed. He said:
l do not know whether / can make
myself heard over this vast audience, but
it is very gratifying to have an opportunity
to address 50 many of the people who must
in short time pass judgment upon the
issues before the country.
| only regret that my time and my
strength are not sufficient for me to come in
contact with every voter and to advocate
our cause in every part of this great country.
I am convinced that we are right, and it is
my faith in the ultimate triumph of that
which is right as well as my belief that we
are bound to win this fight. tApplause)
cannot believe that the American people,
intelligent and patriotic, can give their
support to the policies for which the Re-
publican party now stands.
If any Republican asks you why we
spend our time discussing the new questions
you reply first that our position on the old
questions is known and our reasons known;
and second that the Republicans have done
so much since 1896 that is bad that II
keeps US busy exposing their conduct.
But may ask with reason why is it that
the Republicans are not Wiling to discuss
new questions and want 10 spend their
time on the old? When ~ 1896 we asked
them to present their financial policy and
defend it before the country they wanted tc
talk tariff, and their candidate said that
we all want to open the mills instead Of thC
minis And the first thing he did when he
entered upon his new Office was not to carry
out financial plan, but to place on the
statute books tariff by which the syndi
Gates that elected Republican administra
ton got their money back out of the
populace.

Mr.. Hanna stated there were no trusts. ii
has given three defenses of the trusts. First
he says there are no trusts. Second, h
j says that the trust is a good thing. Third
he says don't be afraid Of the so-calle'
trusts. If they are injurious we will tax
care Of them. don't like to bring an
charge against great man, but | think
ought to tell you that Mr.. Hanna borrowed
that last idea from one Of Esop's Fables,
