 Fort Wayne. Ind. Oct. cow. J. Bryan was jumbled from railroad de- pot through an assemblage of 20,O09 people today to a platform from winch spoke for an hour. The as- semblage is said by old campaigners in the State 10 have been it's great est political gathering. After his speech MT. Bryan said his audience was one of the most respOEs ve he hdl talked to this year. The keynote or the speech. as of all the other speeches Bryan has made, was his sincerity ID his advocacy of the election of Parker and Davis. He referred to the stories that had been printed. alleg- ing that he is not at heS # for the Democratic ticket. and denied thcin all. ,.
 "Teu us the truth about Parker, shouted a man in the crowd. This gave Bryan his opportunity: ne went over the St. Louis convention sit- uat;on. spoke of his own part there and then urged every Silver Democrat to vote for Parker. He repeated what he said yesterday about Parkers ht' ness for the Presidency and announc- ed again that inasmuch as silver IS nct an issue every Democrat can vote IcI Parker. He continued;
 Hl m, sure thas l have proved to the neople of this country that l have nor -I coursue. If wanted to defeat parker and Davis ! would not skulK sbo,,t under the cover of darkness 70 5o i+ 1 would come cut In the open -,d make my fight. And if wanted Ire silver Democrats-the men ~no s,ofs5 for me in 1aee and 19oo--to help me defeat Parker, | would frankly ask tnen, to help me, and l would help then. I want nothing of the h-nd. | am earnesly for the ticket want au of my friends to be for It as earn astIv as I am. and as honestly"
 Some days ago Senator Beveridge made a speech in Indiana saying that the real test of prosperity was the coffeepot." The workngman con sumes now twice as much coffee as he did under the last Democratic President" Senator Beveridge is re- ported as saying. That Is the real test of the prosperity of the country We use twice as much coffee as we did when Cleveland was President.
 Bryan referred to the coffee-pot argu- ment of the Indiana Senator.
 sFour years ago" he said, ''the Re publican argument was the full dinner pail. This year it Is the full coffee pot. In the next Presidential eiee- tion it will probably be the full water pitcher.
 We all know that coffee is a stimu- ! lant. Perhaps the working men are using coffee because they lack thai stimulant to supply the lack of food.
 In his speech MT. Bryan dweit for a ! long time on the question of imperial ism. He said he was sure the coun- 1 try will get a constitutional govern ment from Parker. He went into lne recognition of the republic of Panama by President Roosevelt, and asked:
 Would we have treated England or France or Germany as we treated poor little Colunbia?" He referred at some length to the labor opinions of Judge i Parker, analyzing some of them and asserting that if Parker is elected the workingmen w.li not be governed through tn War Department.
 The trip today began at Indian apolis. The first stop was made at Noblesville, Hamilton county, of which Noblesyille is the county seat, is one of the banner Republican counties of the State. There were 1000 people around the grand stand when the traia pulled in. Most of them were Repub- licans, apparently. for there was very little applause, although everybody listened to what Bryan said. At Tiston the crowd was about the same size, and it was the same te,n. per as the Noblesyine gathering.
 Things warmed up somewhat st kokomo, where M-. Bryan had 500 people to hear him. He spoke ,or iorty-hye minutes. repeating the argu nents of the previous speeches. Then came the stemwinder at Peru where there was enthusiasm to spare
 They had bands and red fire and torchhgnt processions and overflow meetings in Fort Wayne. The streets were crowded and Bryan was cbeere,I repeatedly. He spoke in the Princess TEX which holds about 3.6OO peo,Ie The rink was crowded. Many peonle could not get in. Bryan addressed an overflow meeting. as elaborafsJ nls arguments of the day speeches
