MIR. BRYAN'S REMARKS.
At Plymouth Mr.. Bryan said In part.
We have every reason for the sup
port of the ticket that we had in 1896.
and new reasons which have arisen
since that time The Republican party
has shown 1t is not willing to destroy
the trusts The Republican party is
attempting to increase the standins
army from 25.o0O to 1000 Is there
any reason why the public at large
should favor such an increase? The
Republican party is trying to fasten
upon the country militarism and i'm.
perialism. The Republican party
wants to cngraft upon our country /.
colonial policy. In 1896 they said we
could not have q double standard OF
money, now they say we can have n
double standard of government. There
is no reason why you should vote the
Republican ticket IL you believe in the
principles of self government and nre
willing that the Filipinos shall govern
themselves, as well as DESTROYS that we
shall govern ourselves"
MONUMENT TO GEN. LAwToN.
Fort Wayne, Ind. Sept. IS.-The peo-
pie of this city to-day dedicated to the
memory of General Henry w. Lawton
a monument crowned by a cannon cap
tured by him. and christened the prin-
cipal city park in honor OF the dead
hero. The ceremony occurred under
the auspices of the Union Veteran Le-
glon. and Colonel William Jennings
Brynn was the principal orator OF the
OCCASION. His address was non parti-
san. Mr.. Bryan paid high tribute to
the character OF the volunteer soldier.
He said that there were victories of
peace as we'll as OF war, and that he
longed for "thc time to come when no
hostile arm Will be raised against a
fellow man." In this connection he
quoted Lincolns Harrisburg speech
before the beginning of the civil war.
MIR. Bryan declared that there could be
no greater mistake than to assume
that the people OF any political party
are unpatriotic. and recalled the parti-
san ranoor of the campaign of 1886.
He also argued that the Spanish war
had had the effect of destroying the
prejudice which naturally grew out of
the civil war.
