(Special Telegram.) The sudden rffort of tho popocratlc coun cllmnn to enforce nn ordinance that has been o dead letter for many years Is di rectly traccablo to their own failure to tnlto advantage of the privilege that has annually been accorded pcoplo of all po litical parties. Tho local democratic com mittee, In co-operation with olllcers of the state rentral committee, had planned to suspend a number nt Ilryan banners? across tho principal streets In tho downtown sec tion, and nftcr they had been told by Mayor Wlnnctt that they would not be molested, a. filgn-patntlDR Arm Was employed to do the work, llcforo tho banners wcro com pleted, however, a number of largo flag bearing pictures of McKlnlcy and Roose velt madn thnlr nppcarnnco and tho Hchcme of the democrats was at onco dropped. Tho Uryan men wanted a monopoly of tho street banner business, and when they saw opposition emblems flying In conspicuous places about town they Immediately re called an old ordlnanco that said some thing about overhead signs. On Investiga tion It was found that the ordlnanco pro hibited placing signs over streets or side walks and tho democrats decided they could not find a better tlmo for enforcing Its provisions. "When Councilman Schroedor Introduced bis resolution call ing for tho enforcement of all sidewalk and street ordinances tho council was unanimously In favor of Its adoption, for no ono but tho popocratlc members sus pected what was tno real purpose of tho measure Klrst Tlm In HIMiiry.

AUDI? It N, Neb., Aug. 22. W. J. Bryan mado tho first speech hero today of a series scheduled for today In tho Fl.st congres sional district of Nebraska. Tho meeting was held In the court house grounds and in splto of n light rain whloh was falling a good crowd was present. The First congres sional district was represented by Mr. Ilryan In congrcsj and since his retirement has been represented by a republican member. Mr. Ilryan mado a plea for tho election of Hon. (1. W. llerger, tho democratic candi date for congress. Following this ho made an appeal for tho support of the whole democratic ticket, comparing tho govern ment to a. corporation. Ho said all citizens wero stockholders, as such they owed It to themselves, to look well after the conduct of directors of tho corporation. Ha charged tho republican administration, tho govern racnt directors, with deceit In all lis policies. Its deception, he said, had been practiced In rcgnrd to tho financial system, the trusts and tho foreign policy of the country. Ho charged tho republican party with tho In tentlon of fastening a national debt upon tho people. He devoted himself especially to the enlargement of the army, saying that If "we could tnko tho Phlllpplno Islands wo could subject any weak people." Tho republican party was building its policy upon tho plea mat -might makes right." They wore ns sertlng thnt tho financial question was ihls year tho paramount lssuo only because tho republican party regarded the dollar of moro consequence than tho man. He dealt upon liberty ns a God-given right, snylng tho Fili pinos wcro as much entitled to It us wo are: In forming them a good government wo aro only promising whnt kings promised under similar circumstances. Wo have, ho as serted, no tltlo to tho Phlllpplno islands, owing to tho Declaration of Independence. In tho first case Spain hnd no title, and In tho second place we cannot buy people, nor was it any moro profltnble than wlso to wage foreign conquest. Alrendy moro had been spent in tho way of treasuro In tho Philip pines, to say nothing of blood, than tho profits of trado with thoso Islands for many years wouiu amount to. TEMERITY OF A TECUMSEH MAN In Uncivil In the Audience Catechise llrjnn on tin- Philippine and Filipino Qucntlnn. TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug. 22. (Sncclal Tel. egrnm.) Thcro was much in tho uaturo of uisappointmcnt In W. J. Brian's Tocnmneh visit today. In the first place tho weather was tnrcatenlng nnd owing to n Into train the speaker was nn hour behind hl nn. pointed time, nt noon, nnd having a 2 o'clock engagement In Pawneo City, with a twenty mllo drive, Mr. Bryan nllowed himself but twenty minutes to speak. He said ho was sorry that ho was so pressed for time, for moro wero many Important Issues In tho present campaign ho desired to discuss with the peoplo of Johnson county. Tho Issue of free silver was not touched, but tho speaker diverted his time to a discussion of Imperialism and militarism. The repub lican party of today, ho explained, was not a fit party to havo charge of the affairs of the nation, for it had widely departed from tho foundation principles of government of tho nation. Somo pointed questions were naked the speaker from the audience and his answers wcro somewhat humorous, but by no means logical. Not over 1.000 people of all political belief heard the address. Tho most Interesting incident was colloquy between Mr. Bryun and a gentleman In the audience, evi dently a republican, who took tho prlvllego of propounding several questions to tho speaker. This gentlemnn Inter rupted Mr. Brynn toward tho close of his speech by suggesting that tho Filipinos wero on a par with our Indlnns. To this Mr. Bryan responded: 'Now, ns I understand you, you think wo wero right In taking tho property of tho IndlnnB?" "No, sir." "Then do you think It right to take tho property of tho Filipinos?" "No, sir," responded tho mnn In tho audience, "and nobody Is going to. How docs tho treatment of tho Filipinos differ from the treatment of Jail birds In this country? Do you bellcvo In punishing tho Jnll birds?" Mr. Bryan; "Your face Is tho face of nn Intelligent man and ou cannot fall to see the difference between putting men Into tho penitentiary for tho commission of a crlmo and going over to tho Philippines and taking chargo of tho government of the Filipinos?" "Whon I euo n man like you," wn3 tho rospmiso of the Interlocutor, "who favored tho peaco treaty, I think thnt man ought to havo somo consistency abeut him." "I am much obliged for your mentioning that," replied Mr. Bryan, "for I should not feel llko bringing it to your attention un less called upon to do so. I urged tho ratification of tho treaty and also urged tho passago of a resolution promising In dependence to tho people of the Philip pines, nnd if your republican administra tion hnd passed tho resolution there would not havo been ono drop of .blood shed In tho Philippines." Oh, thnt Is your opinion? 'Thnt Is not only my opinion, but If you will stop to think nbout It and glvo tho public tho honest result of your thoughts It will bo your opinion thnt If we hnd made tho samo promise of inde pendence to tho Filipinos thnt wo did to tho Cubans, wo would havo had no conflict there. Had wo treated Cuba ns wo did the Philippines, thcro would bo war In Cuba today and had we treated tho Filipinos as wo did tho Cubans thoro would be no war In tho Philippines today." SMALL CROWD AT PAWNEE Few People Turn Out tti llenr tlio Aililrenn hy W. J. Ilryun. PAWNEE, Nob., Aug. 22. (Special Tclo gram.) This was a sorry and very disap pointing day for tho fusion forces In Paw neo City. W. J. Bryan nnd O. W. Berg of Lincoln spoke to a comparatively small crowd In tho public squnro hero this after noon. Both men arrived In town unan nounced and no committed was on hand to meet them. When driven to tho hotol no cheers went up for tho champion of fusion nnd reform. A nice rain Tuesday Interrupted haying and tho farmors hnd a splendid opportunity to nttond tho rally, but few took advan tage of It and tho few who did soqmcd Indifferent to the colonel's eloquent spiels against tho ovlls of prosperity nnd Im perialism. Tho applauso given was not very liberal. Probably not moro than 250 or 300 pcoplo wero present from surround ing towns. The Pawnee band furnished music. Mr. Bryan charged tho republican party with having done nothing to relieve tho peoplo at large from the burdens of tho trusts, saying that more trusts had been organized In tho last three years than dur ing tho cntlro previous history of the country. He also charged the republican party with desiring expansion for trade teasons only. Ho urged that If annexation In the tropics was to bo undertaken for trade purposes only thero was sure to bs disappointment. Tropical countries did not supply n great deal In the way of com merce. Great Britain's trado with the United States, for Instnnce, has a far greater per capita than her trado with India and yet Great Brltnln did not own the United States not quite. Ho did not ogreo with those who considered It n "religious" duty to hold on to the Phil ippines. As a matter of fact the ma jority of tho Filipinos were already Chris tians. It was still further truo that the Christians there woro antagonistic to American domination, while tho Moham medans and Sulus wero friendly. Si. caking of tho financial ratio Mr. Bryan said: "The republican party now openly es pouses tho old standard. They declared for tho gold standnrd at Philadelphia after they threw over a platform sanctioned by the administration that contained a promlso for International bimetallism. They say they do not bcllevo In the ratio of 16 to 1. When they mako thnt stato ment you ask them why Mr. McKlnlcy administration Is coining silver dollars today at tho ratio of 16 to 1. In the month of March tho republlcnn administration coined 4000,000 silver dollnrs at the ratio of 16 to 1 and yet the republicans think tho ratio of 16 to 1 Is not right. It Is the ratio wo havo had for thirty-four years nnd the republican party today docs not ad vocato any change In tho ratio." Mr. Brynn also hinted nt what he con sidered another objection to acquiring out side territory addressing himself to re publicans nnd saying: Fnder your own administration men whom your own president selected have been gulltv of embczzloment of tlio funds nt thn Cuban, nnd If that occurs right bore under the shndow of our own country what would bo the peculations mm em bezzlements It wo sent men to rulo over 7.ockuw Fiiinlnn. Even now you will find they nro organizing development companies in tlio i nueii ninies iur iu i uiuim""" and that those development companies are i dying on American nfllrluls over there to help them get franchises. You will llnd that people nro stundlng ready .o gobble tip the frnnchlses In the Islands, nnd don't you know what a tlmo we have hnd In this country with thoso men who lire getting tho franchises. Illinois Is quite n good stnto, It Is regnrded ns ono of the great stntcM of the. union, nnd yet In IlllnoN they got through tho legislature n bill which gave tho street car lines of Chlcugo a chanco to monopolize tho streets of Chi cago for fifty years. That law was so bad that tho public sentiment was nrouscl and they repealed that law by the next sitting of the legislature. If that hnppens In the stnte of Illinois what will happen In tho Philippines, thousands of miles n way I FALLS CITY ENDS THE DAY Speech Mnde There I.imt Mk1i Close .Mr. llrynn llnrilet liny of the CnntpnlKU. FALLS CITY, Neb., Aug. 22. This has been a busy day lor Mr. Bryan. Ho may be said to have begun tho day bofore yes terday closed, for It was after 1 o'clock this morning when he 'reached Auburn, his first stopping placo aftor leaving Lincoln. Getting n few hours' Bleep there, ho was prepared to commence tho day early. Ho began bis speech at Auburn shortly after 8 o'clock. Thoro ho mado an hour's ad dress, and after bolng drlvon rapidly to tho depot ho was compelled to wait fifty minutes for a delayed train to tako him to Tecutnseh, tho next stopping place. At Tecumseh ho spoko comparatively briefly and after faking a hasty dinner, started upon a twenty-two-mile drive ncross the country to Pawnee. This drlvo was mado by means of three relays In two hours' time. Tho trip from Pawneo to Falls City was mado in a freight cubooso, behind n special engine secured -.by, - the Pawnee county committee. Mr. Bryan had tho largest audience of tho day at tho evening meeting at Falls City. Tho speech was general in Its purport. He spoke of tho importance of securing a dem ocratic congress, saying that If elected he wanted tho opportunity not only to fill the office, but oIbo to sign bills that would remedy tho ovlls of which tho demands complain. Mr. Bryan expressed lilnmelf as favorable to tho eloctlon of senators by direct vote of tho peoplo and ho repeated his declaration of four yenrs ago that no ques tion Is settled until It Is settled right. On this basis nothing has been done for four years past. Tho republican party had done nothing In the Interest of the peoplo nt largo, but all for tho favored few. Among other acts which he charged up ngalnst tho republicans was the passago of tho gold standard law, which ho denounced ns a servile surrender to tho national banks. Ho assorted that tho republicans did not dare discuss either tho currency legislation nr tho trust ouestlon. Referring to tho trusts, ho Eald tho way of the common peoplo to determluo which party to support ns m-niimt the. trusts was to oscortoln which party tho trusts themselves wero supporting and then tako tho opposite course. Mr. Bryan also nsscrtcd that thcro is a irpnernl ilncrenso In the output of tho In dustrial products this year as compared with lnsl vear. and ho quoted tno reports oi mo commercial agencies In support of this prop osltlon.
