EnthusiastIc Welcome.
indianapolis, Oct. 5.--The hall in
which was assembled the National
Association of Democratic clubs was
thronged with people yesterday after
noon, probably 5000 being present,
but as the hour approached for the
advent Of Mr.. Bryan at a o'clock the
aisles were filled to degree Of almost
sunocation. After Adlai e. Steven
son had concluded James r. Sovereign,
ex-grand master workman Of the
knights of Labor, spoke, dealing with
the workingman from a political
standpoint.
Mr. Sovereign was followed by j.
Milton Turner, minister to Liberia un-
der Grants administration, who spoke
briefly.
As Bishop Turner concluded, Mr..
Bryan appeared upon the platform.
His arrival served to instill into the
meeting degree of enthusiasm which
had not marked the proceedings Of
the convention. He reached the city
a few minutes before o'clock. He
was escorted through the streets by a
number Of marching clubs and he was
welcomed at every turn by throngs Of
people.
As soon as the Democratic national
candidate appeared on the platform
there was wild shout of greeting and
this soon developed into a demonstra-
tion, which continued for about 6 min
utes, until, indeed, there was a call for
a cessation from Mr.. Bryan himself.
The speech was literally applauded
throughout and when it was concluded
there was rush to the stage on the
part Of those in the audience who
wished to shake hands with him. He,
however. avoided this demonstration
and soon found his, way back to his
I hotel.
Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows:
The Republican party Is not prepared
70 meet the Issues of this campaign. The
Republican party IL today lodging and rum
ming from nearly every issue In the cam.
palsn. When they started out they said
the money question was the question Of
paramount importance. But, my friends
they found that when q man says that a
z question Of money is more important than
Z question Of government, he at once
arouses suspicion and people begin to won
! portant than man. Think Of trying to
make the money question paramount in
this campaign! Why, my friends when
the money question was paramount in
1895, we found the Republicans trying to
make out that the tariff was the para
mount isue. Now, when the question of
human race and human liberty are at stake
the Republicans say that the money ques-
tion is the paramount issue. The American
people have not yet decided In favor Of i'm
perialism. The Republicans refuse to meet
1t. They say now that the reason we are
In the Philippines, the reason our boys are
dying, the reason large army Is necessary,
the reason we cannot come home Is be-
cause I helped to ratify the treaty.
II It is the hand Of God that takes us to
the Philippine islands, why do the Repub-
licans want to lay 1t onto Democrat?
Now they say the war would stop II 1t were
not for the Democratic party. They say
that the Filipinos would lay down their
arms but for the. hope they have that I
may be elected. My friends, whenever a
Republican tells you that, you tell him that
the colonists fought the same battle that
the Filipinos are. fighting and that they
s did It nearly q hundred years before I
was born.
Tell them that the republic Of South AZ.
rica fought the same fight before this ques.
tion ever arose In American politics. Tell
them that the Cubans waged war for
8 80 years to secure the same rights before
there was ever an antl-imperiallst party in
this country or ever need for such party.
Tell them that the FiIipinos Issued decIa-
ration Of independence patterned after
ours before the question Of Imperialism
d ever entered into American politics.
My friends, they dome too much honor
when they say that ] am responsible for
4 the Filipinos' hatred Of foreign domination.
Of Abraham Lincoln they would know that
z he said It was not party or man, but
Cod himself who planted In the human
heart eSe love Of liberty which no Repub.
lican party can take away.
Mr.. Hanna says there are no trusts.
That settles the question. He ought to ask
his wife. Every wife knows there are
trusts. The only trust any Republican in
( this country seems to know about Is the
Ice trust and the Republicans don't know
y much about that, for II they did they would
Z know that every stockholder IL q Repub-
+ llcan. If they knew more about the Ice
trust they would know that It's harm was
confined to the people Of New York, and II
: they knew that they had as governor Of the
& state Of New York a man who would not let
T any harm come to his people, they would
4 know there would be no Ice trust there. for
the governor would Kill It. }ssis
