AFTER BRYAN ON SILVER.
AItddletown gave the Governor a fine recep-
ton. A committee Of leading citizens welcomed
him at the station, and hundreds filled the
streets and cheered him as he his way
20 the Middletown Casino. An audience Of $500
persons filed the theatre Governor Roosevelt
pressed home upon Mr.. Bryan the fact Of his
Eeticence on the silver issue. He said:
I have hitherto asked Mr.. Bryan in vain TO
answer whether, If elected, he VIII pay the out
standing obligations in gold or in silver whether
IL is the Secretary Of the Treasury or the credi-
tors who have the right to choose the coin in
which TO be paid. Mr. Bryan. having failed to
Enswer, Will now change the form of my Ques-
ton On February IA. 1895, in the House of
representative on the question OF the eoId
bond resolution Mr.. Bryan spoke, in part, as
we insist that outstanding bonds are payable
IN gold silver and that the United States has
the right TO choose the coin. The debtor always
has the choice Of the coin where only coin is men
toned The Secretary Of the Treasury has the
legal right to redeem greenbacks and Treasury
notes in silver, and this protects the people from
the gold hoarders and gold exporters We
should compel the President (CleVeland) to pro-
tect the Government by redeeming in silver
when that is more convenient. We believe that
greenbacks and Treasury notes are redeema bic
in either gold or silver at the option OF the
Government"
In another speech in the House of Repre-
sentatives on December -, 1884, Mr.. Bryan
said:
The members Of this Congress might just as
well meet this question. The present SECRETARY
of the Treasury Ont. Carlisle) has construed the
law to that the option really applies to the
note holder, and the same principle has been
applied to the syreenbacks. l find the English
language hardly adequate to express my feel
ings on that subject. There is not q lawyer that
would apply such doctrine in anything but
finance 1 am in favor Of the construction that
the Nation may pay in silver when il wants to-
And IL we have il, why not exercise it, and not
turn over our finances 10 the control of those
: who conspire to defeat the purposes of the
NJ Government"
1 now ask Mr. Bryan whether his views are
still the same they when he made those
two speeches, and IL So why he refuses to meet
the question now. when he then said that Con-
gress ought TO meet il? Remember, that the
debtor Mr.. Bryan speaks Of is the United States
Government and that the pensioner is inter
ested- Mr. Bryan says the National debt can be
paid in silver. Five years ago he did not find
the English language adequate TO express his
feelings this subject, the payment of the
bonds IN silver, and he does not find the Eng
fish language adequate in this campaign Judg.
ing from his silence Laughter) Has he
changed his views on this payment OF bonds in
silver. and If so, what are his views now?
There was a big crowd assembled in front Of
the Fowler House. in Port Jervis. TO hear the
Governor express his sentiments. In opening
his address, the Governor answered a question
which the Editor of The Evening Gazette" OF
Port Jervis had addressed to him.
He asks me-" said the Governor why
didn't prosecute the canal thieves as promised
when a candidate for Governor, and why didnt
begin motions before the clans were barred
The answer IS simply that did prosecute them
and he knows I did. for 1 appointed two Demo
Gratis as counsel TO make careful examination
Of the evidence taken by the Canal Investiga
ting Commission and they reported that no in
dictment could be secured. Why didn't I begin
action before the claims were barred? Because
I wasn't Governor Some of them were barred
before I became Governor
Mr. Bryan says the workingmen and farmers
are not getting their share OF the present pros
perlty. If Mr. Bryan can show any practica
method Of increasing the share of the wage

Yes" answered the Governor, with the days
Of coxey's army and the souphouses."

traitor" CAppaause) Governor Roosevelt
spoke upon prosperity and the danger Of its
overthrow at cauicoon. He said:
Compare business along this railroad in 1890
with It's present condition and remember that
Mr. Bryan said then that unless silver was adj
mitted 20 free coinage at the ratio OF 16 to !
We should see business depression and the wage
