Schkwsers hall Mr Bryan was whirled off to St Patricks auditorium I Here he spoke with effort The effort of his two long addresses at Syracuse and Rochester and his short speecnes r at a number of places along the route t to Erie had begun to show and Mr L f Bryans vocal organs appeared to be i in much the same weakened state as r they were on his arrival in New York t Like the crowds at the first Erie meetIng I 11 meet-Ing the 2500 MEN AND WOMEN i assembled in the auditorium were orderly l or-derly but on the whole more enthusiastic enthu-siastic than those at the former place The three

meetings mean I know the Inspiration that they give and of te enthusiasm carried back by those who go forCh to prosecute the work oC this campaign In my judgment judg-ment we are entering upon a campaign Which 4 r WILL BE MEMORABLE in the history of the country for many easons not only because of the issue I jnvolv dthat would be plough to make it an epoch in the history of nations f but here are other reasons This campaign 4 cam-paign has demonstrated as no campaign cam-paign has done within the last generation genera-tion the capacity of the people for self government A voiceuA Daniel come to judgment M Bryan continuing said Is there a man in this land who doubts that the American people can rise to the requirements of any emergency emer-gency If so I bid him to cast his eyps upon seventy millions of people thinking out their own salvation Great applause Is here a man who believes 4 VI that party machinery can govern tMs people I bid him look until he sees the great common people bi aklng every mirjfcine chart stands in their way Great applause and cheering Is there a man who believes that the age of oratory ora-tory is gone I point him to every PrecInct pre-cinct in this nation where he will find a modern Demosthenes Great cheering cheer-ing ORATORY WILL LIVE so long as there are causes which appeal ap-peal to the human heart Applause I juratory is the speech of the person who KUOWS what he Is talking about and means what he says and in this campaign cam-paign you will find the orator everywhere every-where Come to my state and I will show you a banker and a money loaner who will go forth to preach the gospel bf bimetallism as he never preached any other gospel in his life I will Ehow you a briefless barrister who armed arm-ed with right will meet the attorney of the corporations and crush him before any audience Great applause I will f show you the business man who never came from behind his couner before but he feeling thai the welfare of his family the welfare of posterity depends de-pends upon the settlement of the cause can come from his store and rise before be-fore an audience and mae a speech that cannot be answered by any man who would FASTEN THE SHACKLES i f pon seventy mOl free mem Great C < < applause I will take you to the railroad rail-road shops and I will show you men who know more about the money question ques-tion than the president of the road knows about the question Applause and cheers I will take iou to a carpenter car-penter who as he works at his bench will revolve in h mind these questions and come nearer finding out whoc Is an honeS dollar than the man who represents rep-resents a syndicate and bows to the dictation of Lombard street Great ap piause Yes come with me to the te farm and I will show you the man who follows the plow and who has studied this money question and who knows that if the dollars g up his wheat comes down and you cannot answer the logic of that argument at all Great applause Continuing at some length Mr Bryan said he wanted his opponents to understand that the fact that he was a young man did not mean that there was going to be any childs play i this campaign THE PEOPLES FIGHT He declared for an aggressive war against any man who declares either for a gold standard or for foreign domination in domestic affairs and wound his speech up by renarking 1 urge you to
