William Jennings Bryan, the brilliant j leader of true democracy, paid Evansville f an unexpected visit Thursday afternoon of i last week, on his way to Nashville, and I while the people of Evansville had but two bouts notice in advance of his coming fully j six thousand people assembled at the L. & : N, depot to greet the distinguished Nebraskan. Hon. John Gilbert Shanklin introduced the sj>eaker. who after paying an eloquent tribute to the city of Evansville, spoke as follows; “I am not neatly so big a man as my! friend Shaukiiu thinks I am. In fact if 1 believe all the good things that enthusiastic friends say. 1 am afraid that I would soon get into the position of the young lady whose sweetheart praised her until she got j to feeling so big. that she wouldn’t speak to j any one. But I know the reason why Mr. ; Shanklin thinks highly of me. It is because . 1 have the same idea in regard to politics I that In* ha«, and when people believe alike iu certain things it is natural for them to think they are p- rb'ctiy right. But there are S.OOfUXKf people who agree with us that ! with the p*~>ple it should, t<e equal rights to ail and special privileges to none. Now 1 have no tune to enter into any discussion of any question. I am trying to i give ray voice a little rest so I can talk to- j morrow, as I have been talking for some! time past, but I want to ,-ugg.st fuur or!

fire things that you may ask your republican friends. I take it for grants^ that every republican is honest and desirw^good government, and I take it for granted that they are rendering aiu to bring about the right change, but in some cases it is a mere presumption. I am going to tell you a few things to say to your republican friends when they say that they are bringing about republican prosperity by a republican administration. Tell them that we advocated arbitration last year, and advocate it more strongly now thau last year. Tell them that we opposed government by injunction last year and oppose it more strongly now. Tell them that we denounced the gold .standard and that the republican administration sent a commission to Europe to attempt to get rid of the gold standard. Tell them that we are as much opposed to the gold standard as they are, and we are going to get rid of it whether foreign nations want to or not, and ask them if they are willing to turn over their country and their children to foreigners who have no love for our government. We said last fall that there was not enough gold in the country to form the basis for sound currency. The republicans rejoiced when they discovered gold in the Klondyke. Ask them why they rejoice at this if they were so full of gold last fall. The mere fact that the republicans are glad that gold has been discovered is evidence they were wrong last fall. Another thing I wish you would point out to your republican friends is the fact that when the Bank of England offered to make some concession in favor of bimetallism the bankers of England, or London, rather, met and joined in unanimous protest, and pledged themselves to secrecy. Please ask your republican friends what they think of sending a commission to Europe to get bimetallism and then to have the bankers of Loudon meet in secret.” Here Mr. Bryau was interrupted by the noise of a near by engine, and said: ‘‘Kailroads are about as bail in speeches as in politics. [Laughter.] I wish you would point out to your republican friends that their platform -transfers to European nations eoufcrol over our finan es. and then point to the fact that England controls the finances of Europe, then point to the fact that the bankers, of London control the finances of England, and then please point your republican friends to the fact that the bankers of Londou met in secret when they got control of our finances, and a>k your republican friends how they like to have their guardians in England meet behind closed doors to disjose of the American people, and then ask them if they do not blush when they realize they stood on such an infamous platform as the republican platform of last fall. 1 merely suggest these things to think about and to talk to your republican friends about. They say that wheat went up and silver went down. Tell them that wheat went up because- India quit exporting wheat, and that silver went down because

India does not need so much silver.” [Applause and cheering.] Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J, Gunderman of Dimonpale, Michigan, we are permitted to make this extract: I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as resuits were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While 1 was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hoars with little interuptiou and it seemed as if sbe could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results.” Trial bottles free at J. R. Adams & Son’s drug store. Regular sise 50c and $1.00. The New Railroad. The Indiana division is now called Vincennes and Jeffersonville. New Albany not taking hold of it. It is probable the line heretofore surveyed will be followed, at least as far as from Vincennes to Dubois county, and as it is to be surveyed to Jeffersonville instead of New Albany it will go far enough north of the latter city to avoid the heavy grade necessary to cross the knobs, and thus have no tunnels or large bridges, and tnay run into Louisville over the Pennsylvania system, connecting with it near Sellersburg. This will naturally be determined by the interest Jeffersonville takes in the enterprise. There will be from 16 to 18 men in the engineer corps. Mr.C. Kramer, an experienced railroad man of Switzerland, has beeu secured as right-of-way man. and will go over the route securing rights of way. It is intended to get everything in shape this winter, so the contractors will begin, if possible, early next spring, the work of construction, and push the Indiana division to completion next year.—Vincennes Sun.
