 ply not so. stand precisely where
 stood then, and MT, Bryan either knows | this or ought to know it. Our regular
 army is infnitesimal in size compared
 with the population. In the next place, ! MT Bryan sought refuge in saying that
 the army bill had been amended l is
 of course idle to quibble about amend
 ments. The present law is what he
 was speaking of and what I was speak ing of. At present we have an army of 1 100000 men, 65, 900 of whom are regu-
 lars, and it was concerning this army
 that MT. Bryan spoke when he stated that the object of getting it was to ter rorize the laboring men when they
 make just demands by placing it in forts in great cities. It is impossible to
 stigmatize too strongly such state
 ment. It does not contain scintilla of truth; it has not a particle of founda- tion 1t can only appeal to thoroughly
 base and unworthy passions"
 Speaking of the Philippines, Governor | Roosevelt said: 'The only way to se- cure permanent peace and civil and in dlvidual liberty for the great bulk of the inhabitants of the Philippines was to do precisely what we have done, take
 them over as a necessary incident of
 the war with Spain and then to put
 down the bodies of armed bandits and
 introduce a government of law, order
 and justice.
 In conclusion the governor said: MT.
 Bryan has not answered whether or not he will pay the interest on the national
 debt and the pension of the volunteers
 of the civil war in gold or in silver if
 elected He has not answered whether
 he will refuse to receive the electoral
 votes of North Carolina because ob-
 tained for him by fragrant violation of the doctrine of the consent of the
 governed which he so ardently cham pions when he seeks to apply 1t to
 Tagal bandits on the other side of the globe. He has not answered the ques- tlon why he supports In Kentucky a faction of the Bryanized democracy which seeks to deprive, and has de- prive white men as well as black. ex- confederate as well as ex-union soldiers, gold democrats and silver democrats as well as republicans of their rights to cast their vote as they wish and to have them counted as cast. He has not answered the question as to whether he will condemn Mir, Croker and MT. Croker's associates in New York for themselves being stockholders in the ice trust and doing all they can to prevent its dissolution, while in public he polit- ically denounces trusts. Let MT. Bryan answer these questions as l have an- swered every question he raises; and then I will put him some more"
 It was the tenth speech Governor Roosevelt had made since morning. the first being at Lexington, where Colonel w, c. P. Breckenridge and Judge Dur ham, both ex-Confederate officers, put the crowd in the best of humor in joint ly introducing the governor. Then at Winchester and next at Mount Sterling other large crowds greeted the arrival of the train, providing parades. More head, Ashland, Greenup, South Ports Vanceburg, and Maysville in successive order, paid tribute to the governors popularity in Kentucky and the crowd which gathered at the depot here betrayed no diminution of desire to see him.
 At the conclusion of the governors speech the audience was addressed by Colonel Curtis Guild, jr., of Boston, who made an appeal for the exercise of the rights of liberty and the preservation of the sanctity of the ballot box.
 After the speaking Governor Roose- welt was escorted by the First Voters club of Cincinnati to the Grand hotel, in that city, where an informal recep- tion was held and where he will remain until tomorrow morning when he will enter upon his itinerary in Ohio.
