DUNKIRK, N. Y, Oct 3o-w. ]. Bryan
concluded the final day of his last cam
paign tour In this city tonight. He be-
gan the day at the town of Addison, and
spoke at the following other places: Hor-
irellsville, Almond, Alfred, Andover, Wells
vile, Belmont, Friendship, Cuba, Hinsdae
Olean, Salamanca, Randolph. jamestown
and Dunkirk. All these towns are in the
southwestern part of the State and all
have been strongly Republican in politics.
The meetings of the day were generally
well attended and some, Of them quite en-
thusiastic. Mr.. Bryan left late tonight
on the Lake Shore Railroad for Ohio, ex-
pecting to begin a one-day tour of that
State with speech at Toledo tomorrow
morning at II o'clock. All told he has
made about ITO speeches in this State
Soon after daylight this morning Mr..
Bryan's train passed through Elniira.
where Governor Roosevelts train was tied
up preparatory to beginning his days
work. Mr.. Bryan was sound asleep at the
time, and there was no exchange of cour-
tesies between the rival candidates BY the
time Addison was reached the rain,
which had set in few miles further east
began pronounced downpour, but the
crowd was large and enthusiastic and Mr.
Bryan appeared in excellent condition. In
beginning his speech Mr.. Bryan said:
You show a great deal of interest to
come out here early in the morning in the
rain TO hear a speech of five minutes. The
very fact that you are here shows that
you do not need a speech even of five min
utes. 1t shows that you have already made
ind hour
for next Tuesday to come in order that
you may register a protest against the
trusts, against large army and against
the imperial policy of the administration -
Mr.. Bryan then dwelt briefly on what he
conceived to be the evil of trusts, mill
tarism, territorial expansion and the CO.
lonial policy of the Republican party. 81
carpet-baggers steal in Cuba within 200
miles of us, they will steal still more when
they get across the Pacific. All that L need
TO tell you Is that the Democratic party
believes in liberty here and believes in
liberty in the Philippines also; that it
wants self-government here and is willing
to give 1t to the people who live in the
Philippine islands. All that 1 need to tell
you is that We want TO make that declara
ton now and not after the Filpinos are
dead III you are going to give freedom to
the Filipinos you want to give it to I'VE
people and not to dead ones"
WHAT BRYAN WILL DO.
The rain. which had been falling at Ad-
olson, had diminished somewhat by the
time Mr. Bryan's train reached Hornells-
vile. He spoke there for about half an
hour. and had another large crowd, which
was closely attentive. AT that point he
elaborated on the theory advanced by him
yesterday that the Republicans had al
ready abandoned their principal campaign
argument, which was the full dinner pail.
In
that if the New York officials were dis
ice trust, just as the Democrats and Popu-
lists got rid Of trust in Nebraska
We'll have President from Nebra SKA
too. some one shouted.
To this Mr. Bryan responded: eff Won
do have a President from Nebraska you
will have the same kind of trust policy
in the United States that we have in Ne
braska. We prosecute them out there"
Mr.. Bryan addressed a small body of
people at Almond for five minutes He told
them how important Ii was to have the
government administered on the principle
OF equal rights to all and special privileges
to none, and said if this principle was ap-
piled ii would remedy all the evils of trusts
and Imperialism.
Mr.. Bryan did not have q large crowd at
Alfred the seat of Alfred University, but
he had an interesting meeting He said:
Il am told that Senator Teller was once a
student here. That would be enough to
no other great man, for regard Senator
Teller as not only one of the ablest men Of
our country, but he has shown strength
his convictions that ought to be an ex-
ample to every young men in this coun-
try, for a young man can afford TO be in
minority, but he cannot afford to be wrong
You will find. as Jefferson said that a
firm adherence to a great principle is the
best handmade even unto ambition"
BRYAN INTERRUPTED.
Continuing his remarks to the students
Mr.. Bryan admonished them to form high
ideals and to hold fast to them, even after
they enter upon their respective careers
In the business world. A midle-aged man
Of President McKinley's face on his chest.
advanced to a position In front Of Mr.
Bryan. and said, in a loud, shrill voice:
"You can talk about free silver without
any paper
To this Mr.. Bryan responded: Eyes. sir:
IL I had no regard for human rights
would talk about dollars, but / am talking
to your heads and not to your pocket
books"
To hhe audience Mr.. Bryan said: For
the benefit of that poor, sordid soul that
wants to talk about money l want to ask
him why it is that he is so worried about
50-cent dollars and not worried about an
81 per cent. citizenship in Porto Rico
Apparently the Questioner in the crowd
was not dismayed, for he broke into Mr.
Bryan's remarks with a question wanting
to know How it happened that you can
go to Mexico with a dollar of American
money and get two dollars OF the money
of that country with it?''
Mr.. Bryan's reply was as follows: "You
try that and you will find that they know
enough in Mexico not to let you have
them. When Lincoln was here he talked
about human rights, but now Republicans
cannot talk about anything but dollars
and when wanted TO talk about dol
lars in 1886 they wanted to talk about
the tariff, and before this campaign is
over they will go back to the civil war
down the rebellion, anyhow"
Mr. Bryan's audience at Cuba was COM
posed largely of men, and Notwithstanding
that rain fell during the entire time he
was speaking. he held to the end. There
was close attention and frequent though
not general applause. He again discussed
the trusts and the army Question, but took
why the subject OF the finances was not re-
ceiving more attention at his hand
Mr. Bryan introduced to the large
audience which assembled at the railroad
station TO welcome him TO Wellsville by
Mr. Manton Marble Wivelle. Mr. Wiyelie
is a resident Of Wellsville. but student
of Cornell University. While Mr. Bryan
was speaking two boys, one of them much
larger than the other, got into a quarrel
and the large o's struck the smaller one
with his fist. W Mr.. Bryan had STONED
speaking and the usual rush 10 shake hands
had begun Mr.. Bryan walked across the
platform of the car and called for the how
