the beat of explain to that tuie et ward in the city there wai so much that yen couitt hardly expect even cans time to say everything that old be ea id in one speech aad therefore they always forget to tell about the political complexion of Leoce eter county and linclau and thal fifth ward aben ref they arai abdat the vote tt that city county and ward but I 1 am very grateful to my here forthe for the which they have rivea tsat only am I 1 crateful to those who have ha ve voted at I 1 am grateful ful to those who before election day gave their time and contributed all they could to make the vote as urso AS possible cheref cae I 1 have when I 1 came ack to lincoln the bryan home guards diri pline and good appearance which they always make abea they go out on a girade and I 1 want to eay this abat of thi city I 1 think it ila well for abe chube that are o 0 to with the work of bi metal liem that they drop my name and take a name that is entirely impersonal eo that abe amse will not be connected with the cause ie greater than ny cries ot never well I 1 say I 1 think tt wise outside of this atty for those bryan clubs to cealo to be club renewed cries of nevee never and become club there would be no aea lonsy no one could eay this agitation was in the interest of any person but cabber that all might recognize it as in abe interest of a great cause I 1 eay while I 1 believe it is of this city for my name 0 o be dropped and abe chube to 50 on andera undera more o 0 name yet in ibis city I 1 would be proud to have the bryan home guards retain their name let me get with one at a time I 1 am glad in thie town to have the veteran organization which bears my name aleo retain that name in order that throughout this land wherever the name of this organization may no man can rise and that the boldien of my lome city are afraid to trust me when in 1890 I 1 was gocr candidate for Go neresa I 1 did not talk much about alie silver question my platform declared for free dilver but my opponent was for tree balver also and therefore there was no contest laughter on that subject we agreed bat that IB the list time I 1 have ever been able to get a republican to agree with me that ie the laft republican candidate against whom I 1 have run who haa agreed with me on the money question well now I 1 want to eay a word tor the future we have passed through this campaign and we have been defeated and I 1 want jou to remember this that there is not in this land a aicale advocate ot tree coinage who ie not willing to ahde the decision of the people without complaint you do not find the dilver men those who as a republican in new yolk paid we baynot abide by the you do not find the silver men who will stand up express doubt as to whether the will ot the american people ia eu preme those people who eay that you and among the corporate interests of thia creat coB Otry which are entrenched behind the republican party aud who threaten not to abide the decision of the 1 they could continue to represent the american people among called ua anarchists you nod the ones who hinted at oo seible by which the will of the people defeated I 1 am proud that in oar tanks we had men who loved this form 01 ol government that no matter what the people say they rule and we bow to their supremacy but my friend bowing to a decision accept ine without complaint the result of an election does not mean that we shall ur render our convictions or that in the future we shall feht with less earnest nese than we have in the you must remember that in the faie tory of this nation earue party has always been defeated and yet parties have not zone out of existence because of defeat remember that the democratic party lived foe many acara after won a presidential election and then failed to et the president elected be cause it ie the opinion of the democrats of this nation kimt samuel J tilden was elected president of the united states and yet the people who supported him were willing to abide by a de cison of tribunal instituted for the purpose of thai dispute I 1 eay the democratic parta has lived defeat alie republican party has diwi deleat all parties hare lived detent if they had any thine i live or and when our opponents 11 us abst this defeat means the annihilation ef thoe who believe in free silver they take of their hopes instead ot their judgment I 1 believe that we havo made great pro gross in this we have not made the reee which we hoped to have neade wo have not achieved the results which we expected t achieve but my friends the cause ef bimetallism was stronger the day after election than it was at any the campaign I 1 want to say abi and your will bear out my remarks that we went into this fight a disorganized army we came out of it a force ithac hag never bad a superior in hiet ry now we have the stage ot argument when you bublic questions you arguments arcu ments to alie people they ek you why you believe in bimetallism or in the gold standard you tell you explain to them you tell them what you believe ke lieve each policy will do abbey aey imbat is prophesy ey they refuse to believe you but bhea the time coalee for action then the barty put ite policy into operation and lien those policies are in operation then you can judge the effect which they if the republican party can make this country prosperous under the gold standard it will to reverse alie laws of nature and give pointe to 11 ll ditke writers oa political economy it the republican party can tiring to this country by leaking money dearer it will do what never bae been done by any other barty ia any othar een but my friende eee the experience has to disprove abe lie publicans went beare abe labor Loj nen and told them a because their figee would farther and then they ant before the aud told the that ture was that limply means that prices were down and ewt abe rold standard and confidence pec cally confidence and hauek benj would restore prosperity and restore priece to the farmer I 1 want to to abo arec eine to continue coni nue the organization of clubs that ther meet at stated times eay once a month or aimee as the bembers of the club decide and that at these meeting they public Qiea tiona I 1 believe that the public ought to live continually under the ve of the master whom he serves I 1 believe that the people when they elect a man to loftice watch his every abet and discuss bis avery vote and in that they may know whether be is a man to be employed in that business or not and therefore I 1 say to you that these clubs can find ample employment 0 their time if they will discus from month to month from meeting to the various which arise and interest the american people you t ll me that is agitation I 1 say to you that when you into a nation where there is no agitation of public questions among the people that you will find a nation abero a few cm prey nn disturbed apon all the rest of the people thomas jefferson said a great truth when he bald that free exists in jealousy and not in confidence and that confidence ie everywhere be parent ot despot hm he waa right confidence ie tha parent ot deap oliam and exists among the people I 1 ia the opportunity bought by the enemies of the keople and agitation among the people of every public question qu edtion gives a more intelli cent citizenship and more intelligent cives us better government I 1 from the papers that the chairman ot the republican national committee hae suggested that they alo keep up their organization I 1 am glad ot it I 1 hare never advised those who believed with me to do a single thine that I 1 would not advise my opponents to do and when I 1 advised our people to keep organized and to keep discus einz I 1 advise our opponents to do the same thine because if they would discuses 1 more and think more there would be lees of them now I 1 would like to see all the silver clubs in the united states maintain their have regular meetings discuss these aad L would like to see all the republican ori keep up and their meetings keep up and then I 1 would like to see joint debates between our organizations and theirs my friends it they can convince conr that we are wron we havi claim upon our people and if we can convince them that we are right then I 1 think we will not only have a claim but ye will sac cese fully assert it at the of
