W~INNEMUCCANS HEAR BRYAN
Great Democratic Leader Made Short Address
at This Place Saturday.

nemucca had the welcome though unex-
pected opportunity of listening to a short
address by the Democracy's peerless lead
err, William ]. Bryan. 1t had been announ-
ced that Mr.. Bryan would pass through
here on his return from the western part
of the State on one of the early morning
trains. But at the last moment a change
in the arrangements was made, and Mr..
Bryan remained over the night at Reno,
leaving for the East on No. 6 Saturday
morning. The people of Wfnnemucca
were notified of Mr.. Bryan $ coming some
what late. but dodgers were circulated
and a large crowd was at the depot when
the train arrived at AIS o'clock. The
train had been reported to arrive three
quarters of an hour before, but the peo-
pie were patient and were entertained
during the long wait by music by the
band.
AS the train pulled into the depot the
band struck up a lively march and the
people began cheering as Mr.. Bryan made
his appearance at the door of one of the
Pullmans.
A committee was OF hand and without
delay Mr.. Bryan was escorted to a near
by wagon, from which elevated position
quickly surrounded it.
Mr.. Bryan spoke briefly upon the ques-
lions of silver, trusts, irrigation and i'm
perialism and urged reasons why the
people should prove true to the State at
the coming election by supporting Mr..
Newlands for Senator, Mr.. Van Duzer for
Congressman and the fusion State ticket
In general.
On the money question he said that
since 1896 the circulating medium of the
country had INCREASED to the extent of
$500, 900, 900 and the Republican party is
claiming the credit for that increase. Yet,
according to the statement of Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw, there is not money
SfD1oH 49," ~ oh IN w
base a sound financial system. In trans
acting the business of the country it is
necessary TO use the money of the coun-
try over and over again. If the minis
were today opened to the free coinage
of silver there would not be more than
enough actual money for the business
of the country.
The Republicans, who struck down sill
yer. are today seeking to further lessen
the volume of money. To illustrate this
Mr.. Bryan spoke of the Hill bill. which
has for it's object the further debasement
of silver. and which the Republicans will
enact into law at the first opportunity.
1.-The Republicans claim that the mo-
ney question is dead said Mr.. Bryan,
and yet every session Of Congress has to
dea with 1t. The contest is an unending
one"
Mr.. Bryan spoke of the great possibil-
tiles of this State in the carrying out of
the irrigation law. He hoped to see a
Legislature chosen which would elect Mr..
Newlands, the earliest champion of the
irrigation question. to the Senate.
The speaker alluded briefly to the trust
question, showing hat the Republican
party had done absolutely nothing against
the trusts during the last six years, The
administration does not even enforce the
laws we have.
Mr.. Bryan said he would watch the
result in this State and hoped and be-
lieved the verdict would again be recorded
against the Republican party.
The brief speech of the Democratic
leader created a deep impression and If
there were any wavering ones present
they must have been convinced that their
path of duty on election day lies In the
support of Messrs. Newlands. Van Duzer
and the remainder of the fusion ticket.
When he had concluded his speech the
BAN struck up and the people OF the
crowd pressed forward to shake hands
with Mr.. Bryan as he made his way back
to the car.
