paratory to beginning his days work.
MIR. Bryan was sound asleep at the
courtesies between the rival candidates.
REPUBLICANS ABANDON ARGU-
MENT.
AZ this point Mr., Bryan elaborated
the theory advanced by him Yesterday
TO the effect that the Republicans had
already abandoned their principle cam
paign argument. which was the fun
uihner pail. Starting with the PROPOSE
ton that the Republican platform was
largely devoted to the subject of pros
perity. he said:
compare the space detected to con-
gratulation with the space devoted TO
all other questions and YOU Will find
that the Republicans expected to make
the issue on the grand prosperity ar
gumcnt. The full dinner pail is fun of
holes: the fun dinner pail is the most
completely battered and beaten an en-
Diem that any party ever had. Why is
IL that the dinner pail is referred to
more by Democratic speakers than it
is by Republican speakers? Ii Il Re
puplican attempts to refer TO the din
ner pail now they ask him. How about
the anthracite coal regions | do not
believe that the laboring man to-day is
receiving his fair share OF the wealth
he produces, or his fair share OF the
protection of government
REPUBLICAN INTIMIDATION
Hornellsville, n. Y. oct. 5o.-AIr.
Bryan's speech at AndoVar was adj
dressed almost entirely to the question
OF intimidation of laboring men. On
this subject lie said in part:
AS election day approaches We hear
OF efforts To intmidate men who work
for others 1t is then that the employ
or of labor begins 10 use language
which is calculated 10 intimidatc the
men who are working for him. Some
times men are asked by the employer
TO go out and march In a parade. and
they know that If they refuse to go
they separate themselves from those
who do go. and run the risk of q dis
charge in case any one is discharged.
! put 1t on this ground. that If am en-
ployer is entitled to the votes of his
employees, then the employer ought to
be allowed to do the voting TOT the en-
ployces. for If he is entitled 10 the
votes Of the employees, certainly we
ought TO arrange 1t so that none of
them can get away from him. and If
You let the employee vote himself. he
may not always vote as his employer
wants. Therefore. | am in favor OF
law that will either let the employer
vote the votes OF the employees. or else
make the employer let the employee
alone. and let the employee vote his own
vote"
a BOY MADE HAPPY.
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking Mt
Wellsville two boys one of them much
larger than another. got into quarrel
and the larger one struck the smaller
one With his fist. When Mr. Bryan
had stopped speaking and the usual
rush to shake hands had begun, MIR.
Bryan walked across the platform OF
the car and called for the boy VINO had
received the blow saying that he want
| ed 10 shake hands with n youngster who
had become the victim of the policy OF
! force. The boy seemed to forget his
anlicticn in the handshakinS and when
| MIR BRYAN handed him a rose from a
bunch held in Mrs. Bryan's hands MS
cup of joy seemed quite complete.
jamestown, n. Y. oct. 3o.Mr Bryan
spoke for about forty minutes at Saia-
manca. Introducing his speech Mr..
Bryan made an appeal for Republican
votes. He said:
mo one makes greater mistake
than the man who assumes that any
large number OF the people desire bad
government and no one makes
greater mistake than the man who as
sumes that any large number of peo-
pie lack patriotism. You remember
the campaign OF 1896 and you remem-
Der how deeply the people were stirred,
and you remember that those who were
with me in the campaign were called
all sorts of names. and | myself did
not escape, and yet within two years
after that campaign Il war broke out
and the President asked for volunteers
ana tnc people responded, anu I ililk
1t is safe to say that more men re-
sponded who voted for me than re-
sponded who voted for the President
himself. There you found political diff
ferences forgotten. and | think II is
safe to say that in every company and
IN every TegIMCIIr W. fvti+ad-i.en-dif
fcrng in politics. but loving their coun-
try. | know that In my own regiment
a majority of my officers We're Repub-
leans and a majority of the prvates
were with me. and so IT. was with the
various regiments; and then people
found that the men whom the Repuh-
leans called anarchists In 1896 were
the nations protection in 1898. 7 be
lieve that II I were elected and Il war
broke out and | called for volunteers
that Republicans would respond just
like Democrats. Our people are pa
triots and these differences from time
to time on political questions ought not
to blind people to the fact that back OF
all political questions there is the pur-
nose of the citizen 10 do the best with
the light that he has for his country
and for poscrity, and therefore when
talk to you: when / talk to Repub-
lIcnns ] talk 80 them. not rs Renubli-
cans, but as citi2ens not as people who
love II party. but as people who love
the country better than any party"
