PUSHING HIS CAMPAIGN.
Mr. Bryan Made Two Speeches Yes
terdRY In Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 25.-Mr. Bryan made
two speeches here to-day, one Of them
in the afternoon and the other in the
evening. He spoke on both occasions at
Syndicate Park, under the auspices of the
Jackson Club of this city. There was
large attendance upon both occasions, and
applause was frequent and enthusiastic.
At the afternoon meeting Mr.. Bryan
was preceded by Webster Davis and ]. r.
Sovereign. H was not heard until after
4 o'clock, and he spoke briefly. He de-
voted himself to a considerable extent 10
state politics, urging the fusion forces of
the state to make sure of the success,
not only of the electoral ticket but of the
members of Congress, United States sena-
tors and the state ticket.
After urging the people to carefully
study the questions at issue, that they
may vote with clear understanding, Mr..
Bryan said: IF Republican policies are
right, then those who represent the opin-
ions held by Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans ought to be overwhelming
ly defeated for there is difference be-
tween Republican policies and ours in
their terms as wide as the gulf that sep
arated Lazarus in Abrahams bosom
from DIVES Inc pOllcieS IOF winch our
people stand are directly antagonistic TO
the policies for which the Republican par
ty stands, and both cannot be right"
He referred to the Republican policy In
the newly-acquired possessions, saying
among other things on this point: The
Republicans say we want fifty-cent dol
lar; they have given us an s. per cent. cit
izen in Porto Rico"
Referring to the election of United states
senator's, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 want senate that will be in harmony
with the Congress and the President IL we
win this fall. If we had had Democrat
or a Popuiist in the Senate in the place Of
John NJ. Thurston, there would be to-day
no war in the Philippines because that
one vote would have been sufficient to have
carried the Becan resolution, and l do not
believe that the administration would
have carried on a war against the major
ity of the Senate"
Mr.. Bryan talked tonight at Syndicate
Park to one of the largest crowds he
has addressed during the campaign. In
deed there were many more persons pres
ent than could hear him. He was among
friends and neighbors and he manifested
his confidence by his freedom of manner
and scope of treatment. The speech COW
cred much of the ground which has been
gone over before. but the language was
generally fresh and che illustrations new.
Defining some of her personal views and
speaking of civilization in the abstract
and as applied 90 politics, Mr.. Bryan
said:
