open this campaign and 1 return to your city to take part in the closing exercises of this campaign cam-paign I have witnessed today a scene which impresses me and leads me to believe that this great city of the west which rests upon the prosperity of the grsat mass of our people which cannot L prosper wt out they prosper that this V great city will cast its influence one week from today on the side of an American financial policy for the American Amer-ican people Applause I beg to express ex-press my deep gratitude to those organizations t > or-ganizations which participated in this welcomfe today My friends I am not f vain enough to believe that any part of the extraordinary enthusiasm which I have witnessed between Missouri and the Atlantic coast is intended as a personal per-sonal tribute No my friends I want you to believe me when I say that in this great contest it Is the principles for which tho candidate stands and not the candidate himself that has called forth these demonstrations Applause Ap-plause There Is only one thing for which I claim any credit I believe that you and others who have expressed themselves as you have expressed t yourselves sb e

this campaign f I stand and for this only that I can r claim anr credit A SIMPLE TRUTH But my friends ivhat credit is It J to a man to be what he seems to be Why if I were other than true to the pnhclples which I advocate I would F be beneath the contempt of those t whose suffrages I ask Applause I < d6 believe that in this campaign a 2 great question Is to be determined for the present at least I do believe that r the settlement of the question affects every man woman and child in all this land and when I see the people stirred as they have been seldom stirred be fore I believe that they appreciate the 1 responsibilities of citizenship and that hey intend that their ballot shall be If cast for that financial policy which they believe to be best for themselves their neighbors and their country 111 Applause I apreciate too the kindly feeling that has prompted this gift t irom the Hebrew Democracy Applause Ap-plause I NOT A RACE QUESTION Our opponehts have sometimes tried to make It appear that when we denounce the financial policy advocated by the Rothschilds we are attacking a race We are not my friends We are opposed to the financial policy of J P Morgan as we are to the financial policy of the Rothschilds Applause n I We are not attacking a race We are nattacking greetr and avarice which J t knows no race or religion Applause I do not know of any class of our people peo-ple who by reason of their history can Jtter sympathize with the struggling f i masses in this campaign that the He brew race Applause Whenever we have a great contest < r and whenever right is arrayed against might the example of David and Go liath is always cited to give inspiration to those who fight for the truth David conquered not because he was strong he conquered not because of his might r he conquered because he was on the right side of truth and in this contest if our Hebrew friends will liken me to DavId Jet me say to them that as David Da-vid triumphed because he was on the right sIde so my only hope of victory g is In the righteousness of our cause Great applause My friends I may be wrong Cries of No no and cheers I have never f i claimed infallibility but when I

head of a firm or the president of a railroad or a boss of a corporation Wild cheering and a voice Well be with you Tuesday PARAMOUNT ISSUE Three political parties have declared that the money question Is the paramount para-mount issue and the bolting Democrats who are helping the Republican ticket without having the courage to come out and say so have declared that this money question Is the paramount Issue and the leading Republicans have admitted ad-mitted It And yet when out opponents are driven to the wall on the money question when they have 1aJ1 din their attempt to defend themselves before the American people they attempt to turn the discussion of this campaign off from the money question and onto other issues Is-sues Cheers But L give them notice that for one week more they haVe to march up to the money question and tackle IL Great applause The gold standard has gained every advantgi which It has thus far gained under cover and In the dark And In this campaign

Chicago platform If they are aected Applause WILL TRUST AMERICANS I am willing to trust the Intelligence of the American people to decide whether this government Is safer in the hands of those who

American people decide whether whe-ther our government Is safer in the hands or those who believe In our fond of government gov-ernment and would die to perpetuate it or tvhAfhAr If I snfpr Irt the

greet you and receive jour words of welcome and I must go now in order to be ready for the evening campaign I simply want to ask you this afternoon to put one question to every goldbug who comes and talks to you and that question Is tills You ask him why It Is If the gold standard Is a good thing that he talks about sound money instead of gold when he talks Great cheering Tell him that so long as he Is ashamed to use the word gold when he talks that he need not expect you to believe in the beauties of a gold standard Great cheering IN THE EVENING Mr Bryans first evening speech was delivered at Arcade Hall Sixtyfifth and Wentworth avenue at 7 oclock Long before that hour the large hall was crowded with enthusiastic supporters of the sllverd cause and by 7 oclock the number unable to obtain admission but who expected to catch a glimpse of tha candidate as he left the hall was fullY as great as the crowd inside Mr Bryan spoke briefly explaining the chief Issue of the campaign and closed with the assurance that the advocates of free coinage did not desire to coerce anyone but only wished each voter to study the question for himself and vote ns his conscience should dictate 1 do not want your votes as a personal tribute trib-ute he declared If I have your heart I am satisfied that your votes will be cast as you believe Is for the best interests Inter-ests of jour country and I am content to abide the result The iohstl bcnooihall where Mr Bryan delivered his third speech will hold probably prob-ably 1000 people when filled as it was tonight but early in the evening the doors were locked to prevent overcrowding and another great mass of people gathered gather-ed In the yard adjoining and they were only appeased by the assurance that Mr Bryan would show himself there before going on his way Inside the rafters were lined with clinging men and boys when Mr Bryan appeared and the greeting greet-ing was Of the most enthusiastic kind A large majority of this audience was njade up of Poles and as Mr Br > an concluded con-cluded his remarks he was presented with i a boquet of 16 white and one yellow 1 chrysanthemums attached to which was a card nscrlbed 16 to 1 To Our Next President Compliments of the Polish Toilers A band of IB young ladies In white and one In gold occupied tho platform and greeted him with song I AGAINST FOREIGN INFLUENCES Mr Bryan spoke against allowing reign r-eign Influences to predominate and said the people of Poland many of whose sons were In the audience know the effect ef-fect of foreign domination Cheersand cries of Good In conclusion Mr Bryan warned his healers against allowing employers to influence In-fluence their votes saying the employer had no more right to dictate to them how they should vote than they had to dicatc tj the employer how he should vote Ae fact that some employers are resorting to coercion shows that they have lost faith in the justice of their cause and are afraid to trust the wisdom of the people Inside and around the mammoth tent at Twentyninth and Halsted streets about 15000 people were massed when Mr Bryan and his escort arrived at 915 The nominee was cheered heartily So Vast I was the rush of the crowd in his direction as he left the tent to go to TattersaUs that several of the outer poles were carried car-ried away and for a minute there seemed to be danger that the Immense tented structure might collapse Quick wo ton t-on the part of the police kept the crowd back until the nominee had gone and the danger was averted THE PIT PACKED I Twentyfive thousand people were packed in the pit and gallery of Tatter sails when Mr Bryan emerged ot thp small platform after a brief but exciting struggle with a crowd outside the building I build-ing This great audience was composed mainly of men who had physical endur ance and party spirit In sufficient quantities quanti-ties to contend for seat or standing space and then remained sweltering In the half I suffocating atmosphere until Mr Br arrived The great Iron arches whoa spanned the seas of human faces were fringed with men who waited for thr nominee in a perilous position Enthusiasm Enthus-iasm upon the arrival of Mr Bryan and at frequent Intervals during his speech was intense but not of lon duration I McKinley men were there they did not show It bv any counter demonstration j Mr Bryan was presented with a floral horseshoe by the Horaeshoera association of Milwaukee and accepted it with thanks Mr Bryan talked about half an I hour his address being along the lines of those delivered earlier in the evening |
