/ Delphi. ROssville, Frankfort, Kirklin,
| Sherman, Westfiest and CARMEL turn
ed out large crowds to greet the demo-

In all his remarks Mr.. Bryan eX-
pressed confidence In the righteous
ness of demoeracy's cause ana never
, failed to impress upon his audience
his satisfaction with the Denver plat
form and to urge them to read 1t with
care. At Monon. he sald
81 have confidence that our party's
position is going to appeal to the judg-
ment and conscience of the public and
in this campaign we are confident in
that events have robbed the repubn-
can party of some Of its most potent
arguments in the past. For instance,
if you will remember In 1896 there
was a great deal said about the panic
and the republican speakers accused
us of having monopoly on panics.
need not tell you that within the last
| year the republican party has become
! an active competitor with the demo-
| cratic party on the subject of .panics
| and they are no longer able to say
that they can guarantee immunity
/ from panics and yet with tho record
of the last forty years which shows
/ that of the three panics which came,
two of them came when the republl-
can party was in complete power and
after republican victories and the third
Immediately after republican admin
istration and yet they still have the
presumption to talk panics"
At Frankfort, Mr.. Bryan told the
people that he was glad he had Mr.,
Kern for running mate and he said
he expected the voters Of Indiana TO
show their appreciation OF the action
OF the Denver convention by giving
her electoral vote to Kern and Mr..
Kern's partner on the mat"
The crowd gave whoop when Mr.
Bryan, as the train pulled out, said
that he hoped to be in Washington
on the fourth Of March when Mr. Kern
Is inauEurated as vice president.
On the train Mr.. Bryan, Chairman
Mack and his associates were in con-
