QUESTION OF SILVER.
Has More Respect For n Republican
Than For Democrat Who Would
Put His Principles on an Auc.
tlon Block or Ia Junk Shop.

Urbana, Aug. 6.--Four leading DEM
ocrots opened the Ohio campaign here
Wednesday two weeks In advance OF
the Democratic state convention. w
]. Bryan had been engaged to address
the Urbana Chautauqua assembly and
the Democrats OF this county held
their convention on the Chautauqua
grounds during the forenoon, at which
addresses were made by Bryan. John
/. Zimmerman. Mayor Johnson OF
Cleveland and ex-Congressman Lentz
OF Columbus. The assembly's Demo-
cratic day programme attracted one
OF the largest crowds ever seen on the
grounds.
The addresses all attracted attention
because OF the direct reference to GER
tain well known men. as well as 10
policies on which there are differences
within the party. Bryan referred To-
ex-President Cleveland repeatedly.
Zimmerman. who followed Bryan.
referred to fathers OF Democracy and
the eternal principles" Of the party.
Then came Mayor johnson and ex-
Congressman Lentz In emphatic dec
laratlon that this was no time for
dead issues"
The "keynotes" OF the last two
speakers were not IN accord with those
OF Mr.. Zimmerman. whose managers
had secured the Champaign county
delegates before Johnson reached the
tabernacle. As this county is in the /
same congressional district as Zim- /
merman's home. the Johnson men were 4
at odds. but still they contested at the
primaries. The convention stood 1870
10 so for Zimmerman. but In difference
10 the visitors. no ballot was taken.
Bryan received his greatest ovation
when he said: "The Democrats In
1889 played confidnce game on the
people and put bunco steerer at the
head Of the party. I want 10 say To
you. my friends. that the disreputable
man who stands on the street curbing
and leads the unwary traveller into a
game where he loses his money Is re-
spectacle compared TO the man who
accepts the SURFACES OF 100000 peo-
pie and then leads them into Wall
street to be betrayed.
Don't be deceived WREN they tell
you that IL was the silver question
that drove people out OF the party.
Those who left the Democratic party
ire divided into two classes. Those
who left because they understood the
ssue OF the campain. Those who un-
eft because they were deceived In the
ssue OF the campaign. those who un-
ierstood the issue and left because

PARTY until they repent and their
hearts and sympathies are changed.

Then he continued by saying he had ,
more respect for "A Republican than ,
or any one calling himself a Demo-
rat who would put his principles on Z
