the crowd and It took five minutes of ot time to get him through the throng to the stand When he reached the stand he fated faced fa ed a multi multitude multitude multitude tude of people that filled the broad thoroughfare on Main street for two or three blocks and extended ext nd d into the cross cros streets for quite a distance irie tiie ie de demonstration demonstration e was one of the greatest ever seen during the campaign Mr Bryan in fink fine voice but it is safe sate to say sa that not of the peo people people pie present were able to follow the speech because of the immensity of the crowd and the constant noise and con confusion confusion confusion fusion When Mr Bryan arose to speak he was received with Arith great cheers He took up the trust tJust question at the outset and almost every sen sentence sentence sentence tence of the speech devoted to this sub subject subject jeet was loudly applauded He said that when suits were brought to dissolve trusts there were vere generally threats of leaving the town Suppose he went vent on a man be being being ing prosecuted for horse stealing should threaten to leave the state if l prose prosecuted prosecuted prosecuted Would you stop the prosecution on that account He Ht concluded by saying that the law should be enforced whether it affected large offenders or small offenders In his n of the necessity for forthe forthe forthe the enforcement of the antitrust law Mr Bryan to the presence on the stand of Mayor Jones of Toledo and said 0 Our mayor maor here from Toledo says that is what he wants The Republican can party is driving its best men out of the party Jones had to leave the Republican party or else Oise leave the golden rule and he left the party and brought the rule with him Monnett had to leave leae the Republican party or else surrender his convictions on the trust question so he left the Republican can party and brought his convictions with him And men have hae had to leave the Republican Rep party or else surrender the Declaration of Independence and they have left the party and brought the declaration with them When Mr Bryan B ran concluded Mayor Jones Was introduced i d and spoke brief briefly briefly briefly ly He lie Yas aS received with wild applause Mr Bryan BIan will remain here until Mon llon Monday Monday day Cites Case of Monnett Mr Bryan referred d in his Circleville and Lancaster speeches to the efforts of Attorney General Monnett At Cir Circleville Circleville cleville cleme he be made that official the prin principal prIncipal principal cipal theme of his discourse saying There was a young Republican of ability and character nominated for at attorney attorney torney general of the state of Ohio When he h entered upon the duties of his office he tool took an oath to perform these duties to the best of his ability and in inthe inthe inthe the course of his duty he ha was called upon to commence suit under the laws of this thi state against a great private pr rite monopoly the Standard Oil OU company and as soon as he commenced suit the company compan began begun its persecution and its opposition It first tried to frighten him out of doing his duty then it tried to bribe him and when it could neither frighten nor bribe it went into the Republican party and defeated him for doing his duty dut I want to ask you parents whether you OU want to hold before your sons the ideal of the Republican party as it now stands where a young man like Mon Monnett nett must be driven out of the party because he dares to defend the laborer the thu farmer and the business man the extortion of money by the monopolies monopolies monopolies lies You fathers can you afford to tell your sons that It is better to betray a trust than to do their duty Can you tell teU your sons that it is better for an American to oto o violate his oath of office than to risk the hostility of a great corporation If l Monnett can leave leae the Republican can party part cannot the farmer and the laboring man and the business man whose interests he tried to protect af afford afford afford ford 0 o leave the Republican party or orwill orwill orwill will you say sa that you ou are so wedded to the Republican party that you ou would rather stay with the Republicans and defend the monopolies of this country than to o leave the Republican party even for a brief time me in order to obtain relief from them Continuing Mr Bryan said that this opposition to the enforcement of laws was not confined to the he state of Ohio but was found also in the Republican n administration of the affairs of the na nation naton nation tion ton He contrasted the conduct of the affairs of the nation naton with wit the conduct of the legal business busin ss of his own state of Nebraska Nebrask where he said the Demo Democratic Democratic cratic attorney obeying the te tew theand law w and prosecuting the trusts Chances to Be e President At Chillicothe Mr 11 Bryan was intro introduced Introduce Introduced duce as the next president and in re response response response he said saidI If I the people will wi get out cut to the polls as early as they hey seem to be able to get out to o meetings and will wil show as much interest on election electon day as they art are ar showing now it i is possible that the prophecy may be fulfilled But it k i is in your hands and in the hands of others oher throughout this coun country country country try upon whom the responsibility of citizenship rests rest nominate the te candidates but the people settle sette the question queston and it is theirs their to choose be between between tween tw en candidates tes between parties partes and ad between policies and nd all al that we can canak ask ak of the American people is i tha that they shall study and understand the and then make mae their votes represent exactly what wha they tey want want We Ve have hae no power or desire to co coerce coerce erce ere and when I say sy that we have hae no power poser or desire dee to coerce cerce I think I am making a difference between our party and our opponents for in 1896 they showed both the h power and the desire to coerce erce and in this campaign there are already indications that they are going desire ging to show both the Ie power and the 01 I have known where Republican employers were willing toilet their men off of for an hour or two hours to hear a speech sp ech but not willing to let If them off In order to hear a Demo Democratic Democratic cratic speech I do not believe that tha a corporation has
