government you will not long have a right

Mr.. Bryan also referred to the race
question in other speeches during the day.
BRYAN QUOTES ROOSEVELT.
In his discussion at Huntington of the
question of government by injunction Mr..
Bryan quoted an extract from an article
written for the Review of Reviews, by
Governor Roosevelt, in September, 1896,
and continued
You laboring men who are opposed
to government by injunction can here
find out what opinion the Republican
party has of you as stated by the man
who now represents the Republican party
as it's candidate
Mr.. Bryan then quoted Governor Roose-
welt as writing:
1.-THE men who object to what they
style government by Injunction, are, as
regards the essential principles in hearty
sympathy with their remote skin-clad an
cestors who lived in caves, fought one an
other with stone axes and ate the man.
moth and woolly rhinoceros."
Commenting on this Mr.. Bryan said:
81 want to ask you whether you ex-
pect any relief from government by in
junction from people who say that any
man who opposes government by in
junction ought to be classed with the
woolly rhnoceros. The Democratic par
ty is opposed to government by lnJunc-
ton The Democratic party believes that
the right of trial by jury is a sacred thing
and that if you can give it to the mean
est thief and blacklist murderer you
ought to give it to a laboring man as
WELL"
Mr.. Bryan spoke to a congregation COM
posed largely of coal miners at the lit
tie mountain town of Sewell. He told the
people there that the Democratic party
stood for the arbitration of labor dis
putes and for representative of the Ia
Dor interest in the Cabinet of the Presi-
dent When someone in the crowd asked
him what he would do for the old SOL
diers if elected He replied he would APP
point a Commissioner of Pensions who
would be more satisfactory to the SOL
diers than the present one.
STOPPED TRAIN TO ANSWER HIM.
After the train started to move in
leaving Sewell a man in the outskirts
of the crowd, apparently very much in
earnest, demanded to know about Mr..
Bryan's attitude toward the ratification
of the Paris peace treaty Mr.. Bryan
had the train stopped and made full
explanation of his action and position
in that matter. When this explanation
had been concluded the same man asked
about the expenditure of $20,000,000 in
procuring those islands. To this inquiry
Mr.. Bryan replied:
eff you had read an article that l wrote
about a month before the treaty was
signed, you would have seen that we
could have got it back from the Filipinos
in return for independence, but if you
did not, l would rather consider Z
contribution to liberty than as part pay
ment on men and their lands"
When Mr. Bryan concluded his reply
his interrogation pushed his way through
the crowd and coming up to the car plat
form, offered his hand to the Presidential
candidate, saying:
81 thought had a right as an American
citizen to ask that question"
Mr.. Bryan said in response:
You certainly did have and / am glad
you asked it,
The questioner joined the cheers that
sent Mr.. Bryan on his way
BRYAN OFF FOR MARYLAND.
The meeting at Hinton was the last
of the day, and when it concluded Mr..
Bran left for Washington en- route for
to which State he will devote
tomorrow. Hinton is the home of State
Chairman Miller, and the meeting here
was in all respects one of the best of the
day. Mr.. Bryan made general speech
at this point When someone asked him
about the necessity for large army in
this country he said that if the Demo-
cratic plans for the settlement of dis
putes by arbitration for doing away with
he black list and for adjustment of
Government by injunction could be put
nto execution there would be no neces-
sity for a large army.
The crowd at Hinton was not only large
but was noisily demonstrative. There
we're a number of shouts for Mckinley
1T the beginning of the meeting.
