Mr.. Jones or the ice trust of Mr.. Croker?

himself mainly 10 the same issues as
those he spoke on in Newburgh and

cheers for Bryanr' but instead of the
usual attack, the governor smiled and
said "Why?' and the man subsidized

"Well, l nave six of those" said the
governor, amid a roar Of laughter, "and
they are not cause of contention"

people As the governor appeared on the

The governor assured those assembled
that 1t was a pleasure to see the fine
turnout. tie stated that he hoped good

the light had not yet shone. This was
greeted with renewed cries of "hurrah
for Bryan" three cheers for Bryan"
The governor had gone on without no
ucing the Interruptions, but it continuing,
he finally said:
GOaded by shouts for Bryan,

reach. Any man who thinks noise is a
substitute for thought cannot be appealed
to applause, mingled with shouts of ''hur-
rah for Bryan'D and naturally feels ike
going the other way. ! make an anpeal

man. "a voice: "Who got shot in the
backP'D No stronger appeal could be
made than by those who fear TO hear the
truth. "a voice: Who was four miles
awayTO When men will not listen 10
