In the nefghborhood OF two thou

The assemblage was unusually large.
3 9tonishingly SO. considering the
L rly hour and the short notice that
had been given OF the event.
The special arrived promptly over
the Monongahela River railroad, pull
ing into the eastern part of the sta
ton yards. and Governor Hughes APP
pearing on the rear platform took
time by the forelock. addressing
himself to his auditors without the
usual Introduction
ontburst of Applause.
The appearance of the distinguish
ed speaker was the occasion for an
putburst of applause and he was
heartily cheered throughout the
speech.
The train proceeded east after he
had concluded, with Hon. William E.
Glasscock, nominee for governor,
United States Senator Scott and 9TH
er prominent members Of the Repup-
lican party aboard, the itinerary of
the day calling for number of
speeches in Governor Hughes's trip
across the state.
The Two Candidates.
We have a very important choice
to make in this campaign, Governor
Hughes said. On the one hand we
have an untried. impracticable dream
er, as candidate for president; on
Z Sher hand we have a man, broad
S. Ted, capable, sagacious. tactful.
Y serienced, man who has had
practical experience in nearly every
department Of our public life. man
whose work as judge alone stamped
him as one of learning, of impartial
ity, of capacity, of sympathy and of
intelligence.
What we want in this country is
not sky rockets, not fireworks and
noise. We want steady progress, fac
tories running on full time and not
closed, a wise development of the
country. lis resources and its indus
lries. We cannot afford at this time
70 try strange experiments in the de-
Telopment of the country.
The Same Old Bryan.
Some persons say that Bryan is not
the same man he was in 1896. tell
you that If he is not the same it is
because he is worse. One of the first
things Bryan harped about was free
silver and the people repudiated him.
Next 1t was Imperialism and the peo-
PIE repudiated him. Then 1t was, not
very long ago. government owner
ship of the railroads and the people
repudiated him again. Now he is
putting forth doctrine that is just
as bad as any of these repudiated
policies, just as dangerous, just as
hazardous, just as unsafe. In the en-
deayor to prohibit and exterminate
the trusts, Bryan promulgates the
doctrine that we shall prohibit the
control of more than fifty per cent. of
the total amount of any product con-
sumed in the United States.
Close Factories Says Bryan.
Here We have one concern. we will
say. that has taken advantage of the
patent laws and secured a patent up
on the creation of mans genius. If
Mr.. Bryan is to have his way. we
must repeal the patent laws and put
this concern out of business. Here
We have growing manufacturing es-
tahlishment, giving employment at
good wages to a large humble of
American workingmen. but Mr..
Bryan comes along and shouts:
Shut it down; you can't make these
goods" Here is another concern eu-
.(Eed in the manufacture of an
I ftiele from a by-product. concern
What is helping to stop useless ex-
travagance and waste OF material,
