At Westminster the Great Assembly Stood in the Rain Two
Hours Waiting for the Next President.

stT'he Republicans told the Cubans they

'sThe Republicans say yon must mol haul
down theFlag, where once it has been planted
it must stay. Mckinley has hauled ii down
in Alaska. If Republican President can
haul it down where it is cold, Democratic
President can haul it down where it is hot.
81 understand you have an independent
candidate for Congress in this district. Ii
you vote for an independent candidate who
cannot be elected, you vote indirectly for
man you do not want elected. Ii the inde-
pendent candidate has n personal grievance,
| say to him preserve the Republic iirst and
settle private matters afterward.
Son election day make your vote SO large
that neither money nor Intimidation can pre-
vail
on THE WAY.
Mr. Bryan spoke at Rockville, Frederick,
Bruceville, Union Bridge and New Windsor.
Great ihrougs greeted him at The first two
points. and good crowds at The other places.
At Bruceville he talked concerning the Gu
ban war taxes, saying:
'sWhen you go TO send telegram yon will
find that cent is paid by the man who sends
it; when you go to give check you lind that
cents is paid by the man who gives it, and
if yoa 20 to give u deed you find a stamp re-
CURED You find the Republican party has
not had time to reduce these expenses which
have been laid on since the war commenced,
but the Republican party has had time To re-
duce tax on the national bank circulation. so
that the national bank has to pay only half
whai il paid on its circulation before the
Spanish War broke ont, and you have to pay
more. Thus you will find that the Repnbli
cans are looking after the organized wealth
and neglectins the people, who are enjoying
no privileges at the hands ofthe Government"
In his speech al Union Bridge Mr. Bryan
addressed himself especially TO the trust qnes-
lion Referring TO the Republican plea that
efforts had been made in the last session of
Congress 10 secure anti trust legislation, he
said.
ssAt the close of the last session of Con
gress there was pretended effort on the part
Of The Republicans TO destroy the trusts. |
say pretended, for if yon will examine the
record yon will find it was merely pretence.
First an amendment to the Constitution was
suggested, which not necessary, and 1t
was urged not SO much for the purpose OF
giving Congress new power as for the purpose
of taking away from the States the power
they already have, so that if the Republican
party should control the Federal Government
aud fail to protect the people of the States
from the trusts the people in the various States
would be helpless and could not protect them
selves.
'.Bnt even this was not proposed until the
closing days of the fourth session of Congress
that had convened since the President was
elected. That amendment was defeated by
the votes of the Democrats. When ii was de-
feated the Republicans proposed law admit
ling that it was not necessary TO have an
amendment. The Democrats voted for the
bill and il went 10 the Senate, and there the
Democrats demanded IFS immediate passage,
while the Republican Senators referred it TO
the Judiciary Committee, where it sleeps To-
day. That is the record of the Republican
party on the trust question, and believe any
OF YOU who will examine it will make up your
minds that you cannot hope for relief from the
Republicans.
At New Windsor the station was decorated
with bunting aud II large picture of Mr.. Bryan
was displayed Mr. Bryan was presented
with a handsome bouquet in the form of IL
horseshoe, for good luck. In the brief stop
Mr.. Bryan made suggestions concerning the
issues OF The campaign. He said in part;
81 only have time to suggest that you think
over some Things before you vote. want
you first to ask yourselves whether you be.
leve in the doctrine of Jefferson of equal
rights 10 all and special privileges 10 none
II you say you don't believe in that doctrine
then want you TO find out what doctrine you
do believe in, for If you destroy that as IA
foundation of legislation | know not what
foundation you can have; and if you do be-
leve in that doctrine of Jefferson, then want
you TO ask yourselves whether The Republicans
are carving out that doctrine and whether
the Republican legislation is in accordance
with that maxim If it Is not, then are you
willing to help make it so, or would you pre-
fer to have that maxim neglected rather than
leave The Republican party?a
