But, my friends, in these gold standard times the very people who would most de3ire to come are the people who could not come unless they walk. (Great applause.) And I have not thought it beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate to go from state to state, from the Missouri river to the Atlantic coast and there, befpre all people and on all soils defend the right of the people to govern themselves. (Wild applause.)

Objection to Bimetallism.

"My friends, you will have various objections raised to bimetallism, but I want you to remember that when we fight for bimetallism we are fighting for a financial system which has the indorsement of the history of the world. (Great applause.^ And as an evidence thai we are right in our

do not know what kind of a foreign policy is good for the American people or if they know they are not willing to tell the people what they know. I ask you, is the silence of our opponents due to ignorance? If so, how do they expect us to follow the blind? (Applause.) If they know and are silenced, how do they expect to have more confidence in them than they have in us? (Applause.) "I want you to remember that while bimetallism has Jhersupport of human experience the gold standard has never received the endorsement of the masses of the people in any nation where it has been tried. Is it not strange, my friends, that the effects of the gold standard have been such that the money changers have been compelled to point out the blessings to the common people and even then the common people can't see the blessings pointed out. You can find where chambers of commerce and boards of trade and groups of financiers have declared that the gold standard was good, but from the toilers everywhere comes an unanimous protest against gold monometallism, aye, from the hearts of thoae who suffer everywhere comes a silent prayer for the

palaces of the land. (Great applause.) Now, my friends, I must close. I want to say to you that in my judgment prosperity cannot return to thW land until we have changed our financial system, until we have turned over a new leaf and secured a secretary of the treasury whose heart is nearer to the hearts of seventy millions of people than to the few dozen conspirators in Wall street. (Great applause.)

The Candidate of Prosperity. "I believe it is claimed by the Republicans that their candidate is the candidate of prosperity. I think that they have got the wrong man. I think they are speaking of the chairman of the national committee, not of the candidate, and that the chairman of the committee is the advance agent of that peculiar prosperity that comes just before the election to those who expect to make enough money in the campaign to run them until the next campaign commences. (Wild applause.) If you want to know what it is to be prosperous under the Republican administration, if the Republicans win, I beg you to go and find out who is contributing money to secure election."

A voice "Lombard street." (Great applause.) Mr. Bryan: "If you can find where the ouey comes from then you will know that the people who contribute the money expect to be prosperous for four yars moro and will get back more out of the people than they spent to corrupt the people. (Great applause.) And now, thanking you for your kind and courteous attention, I must bid you good night and get to another place."

At the conclusion of Mr. Benedict's remarks Mr. Bryan was introduced and spoke for forty minutes. Mrs. Bryan sat near her husband, sunk in a chair as If worn out by the fatigues of the day. She is rather slight, an unassuming manner and a modest face. Her dress was plain and she looked the ordinary: American woman. When her husband had finished speaking she was one of the first to'grasp hie hand. Mr. Bryan said in part: "Mr. Chairman,.Ladles and Gentlemen: I desire to Join with you in expressions of regret that your distinguished townsman Is unable owing to feeble health, to be present on this occasion.

The crowds around had grown until it was estimated that about 10.000 persons were in view. Mr. Schaal introduced Mr. Bryan to Mr. L. P. Benedict, who presented him with a silver blotting pad in the name of the Progressive Organized Workingmen of Terre Haute. Mr. Bendeict said: "Mr. Bryan: An organization known as

The Indianapolis clubs were led by the When band, which did itself proud in the march down the street with such marches as the "Chicago Tribune," "King Cotton" and others.

There was lots of hustling for a time, and he will encounter disturbances. every man who could raise bunting enough to wrap up a sore throat installed himself as marshal. Then the parade started. It was cheered from one end of Main street to the other. It was grotesque in the extreme, nothing like ever having been seen befor?

Bryan and noise was what was wanted. Uncle Charley Power was one of the paraders. The ex-Populist rode a gray and very tame horse, and as on other occasions, he was the "it" of the demonstration. He sat his mount like a major and was the envy of hundreds. And he carried a United States flag. Uncle Charley and 200 men, most of whom were old soldiers, marched down Main street preceded by Daniel Reibold and his Union Veteran Legion drum corps. Mr. Reibold marched beside a small man who was very much under the influence of bad whisky. The little man was loyal to the core, however, and was in the parade to the last. In addition to his spirituous load he carried a sign which read "37 to 1." Mr. Power was very late in getting his club together, but as it was many thousand people saw it march down the city's principal thoroughfare.

One of the many laughable features of thu afternoon's performance was the appearance of Scott McAllister, past grand master of the Sons of Rest. Scott was laboring under his usual "load" of trouble. By his side marched a man, who, in addition to other things, was burdened with a broad sword. The two men were in the extreme rear of the procession and escorted only themselves. They marched behind a farm wagon and every thirty feet yelled lustily for "Bryan."

My father traded for a flie large bay mare which had been raised in oar neighborhood, and which we had often seen at work and never heard that she had any vioes. She was turned oat to pasture for a few days, and when my brother and I went into the field with a halter to catch her she came at us on a full run, with ears turned baok, mouth wide open, nostrils expanded, and eyes glowing like balls of fire. She evidently meant murder, and of course we jumped the fence and got out of her way. Having provided ourselves with clubs, we returned to the field, when she immediately charged upon us as before and was only repulsed by the blows of our clubs on her head. Defeated in her purpose of trampling us under her feet, she showed her evil intent by wheeling and kicking at us with great violenoe. A day or two afterward 'she appeared gentle, offered no resistance to being oaught, was harnessed peaceably, hitched to a wagon beside another horse and driven by my father across the river on a good smooth ford way. She behaved well antil returning across the river in sight of home and near the home shore, when she suddenly stoppod, and no coaxing or driving could make her budge a step until she got ready, which was a full half hour after stopping.

Not long after I hitched her to a buggy and took my mother and another woman to a berry patch about four miles from home. The mare behaved as well as any horse going out and was put into a stable at the nearest house and fed and watered at noon'. When we started for home at night, she went about 50 rods, suddenly stopped and could not be started by a word or a blow of the whip. I got out and tried to lead her, then tried to mesmerize her by petting, patting and strobing her nose and

I once bought a span of 8-year-old colts, well matched (except as to color), well broken, kind and pleasant to work. When full grown, they were the best horse team in the woods for getting out logs I ever saw.

BYNUM OR BRYAN.

Boy Orator Severely Handled by the Sound Money Man. Muncie, Ind., Oct. 22.—At the close of Bryan's meeting today the sound money Democrats had a meeting at the theater. W. I. Bynum made the speech, having 2,000 people out to hear him. Republicans and all concede it to have been the most convincing argument for sound money ever made in Muncie. Mr. Bynum seemed to be at his best, and tore in shreds several statements made by Bryan, his old colleague in congress. Mr. Bynum said: "I do not care to discuss what I know about Bryan personally, but with his associates be is a dangerous man for any party to put at the head of this nation." He also touched on Bryan's statement to the effect that he (Bryan) did not blame men with money or property for opposing free sliver. Mr. Bynum referred to the Republican party having once saved the stars and stripes, and said it looks as if they must do It again.

Mrs. Bascoua's Awful Act.

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 22.—Mrs. Kate Bascom, of Clinton, Mo., killed herself and her 4-year-old son, George, at a lodging house last night by closing the doors and windows of the room, and turning on the gas.

Mrs. Bascom went to the rooming bouse last Saturday. She was without money, but said she expected money by every mail from her husband at Clinton. Day after day passed, the money did not come and she became so despondent that she resolved to kill herself, and her son.

The letter containing the money came this afternoon, and when the lodging-house keeper went to Mrs. Bascom's room with it, she found mother and son dead.

THE PARTY OF PRINCIPLE. Under the title as above the New York Tribune says admirably what Republicans should echo. "Charles Reade in of the most thrilling romances, drew a fine picture of a man of principle. Through chapter after chapter the other characters, creatures of Impulse, of policy or what no:, pursued iheir mere or less devious ways. Their motives were often admirable. But the supreme quality of truth was not Invariabiy present and regnant. Some subterfuges "rffere made use of, rendering necessary others, aild yet others. "A tangled web," indeed, waa woven. Then came the catastrophe. Inevitable and remorseless. Further deception was Impossible. Tricks w«re futile. Pretences

were laid bare. All were la a hopeless flutter of confusion, at cross purposes, ready for recrimination. All but the one man of principle. He alone bad nothing to conceal, nor to explain. He alone remained sereoe and undismayed, muter cf himself and ol the scene. His steadfastness and integrity of purpose and of action redeemed them all from ruin, and turned what seemed disaster into ultimate triumph. "A striking reproduction of this episode, magnified into coicssil dimensions, Is to be seen in this present day and land, with, parties Instead of individuals for the actors, and with the nation fjr a stage. For ytnrn the play has been going oa farce, infelodrama, tragedy or what you will. All characters but one hate been moyed by impulse, passion, palicy. They liave turned now this way and now that, as temporary advantage seemed lo otter. Intent lipou tricking others, they have tricked themselves, and enmeshed themselves in a hopeless tangle of prevarications and false pretences. Now comes tbe climax of the plot, and they stand abashed and panic stricken, each one's hand turned against his neighbor,' their voices a babel of counter-recrimina-tions. It Is a scene for some pity, for much contempt and for utter despair for those who should have none but thess to depend upon for righting of affiirs.

But these, happliy for the republic, are not all. Secure, srr-ne and undisturbed stands tbe one great party of principle. It has no record to conce.il. no apologies to make, no retraction to offer. It does not have to repudiate in autumn the platform it adopted in sutumer. It does not have to split itself to save itself. It never sold the truth to serve the hour. Nor paltered with Eternal God for power." "Today it has only to stand where it has always stood, steadfast for the right true to itself, and, therefore, true to the nation. It came Into existence as a protest against caste and classes and sectionalism. It did its first great work in saving the life of the nation. It suppiou ented that by grandly saving and vindicating the nation's honor. Ttoday it has the same old foes under new names to fight, clirs hatred an 1 sectional sn and deadly assaults upon the nation's honor jand very life. It has only to meet them in the same old way, to win the same old I victory that it won In 1863 and 1879. Amid all the mad confusion of the hour it Is the one fixed quantity .the certan factor mas'e«c of itself and of the situation, and the hope of the republic. There has been no nobler moment in the whole nob!e history of the

Republican party than th's, In wh'ch it once more leads the forces of the nation in this latest and not least fateful battle for the nation's life."
