With him were E. C Wall, F. W. Von Cothauaen, Julius Schnendel and P, J, Somera . . At Waukegan, where about 700 peo ple demanded a speech from Mr. Bry an, he was introduced by Mr. Wall as the Heat President of the United Statesfitnd said: “Ladles and Gentle men, I haven’t time to make a speech, but I am very glad to see yon, whether : you are drawn here by what opposing ! papers call idle curiosity or by inter | est in the eaure being presented in • this campaign. I am inclined to be i lieve there is a great deal of interest \ among the people on both sides of this 1 question. Borne believe the success of | the free silver cause would be detri | mental to the country. They say they are earnestly opposed to ns. Others believe that there can be no general return of prosperity to the people of the United , States until we stop the depreciation of money by giving the* people more standard money. It is natural to be lieve that these people feel interested. , It is not for one man to say how an other shall think, or act or vote, but I believe we have the right to urge upon you the importance of studying the question for ourselves and not allowing anybody to think for you. I do not believe there Is any class of people who ean safely be intrusted to the right to think and act for another clasa The ballot is given to the cit izen in order that each citizen may make his vote represent not what somebody else may think, but what he wants himself. I simply ask you, during the days which intervene be tween now and election day, to study the issues presented in this campaign, and when you have made up your minds, have the courage to vote as you please, and no'one can question your right to do it. I thank you.” CHEEKS AND COUNTER CHEEKS. There was a loud cheer when Mr. Bryan had finished. Then some one proposed “Three cheers for McKin ley,” and about half the crowd gave them with a will. These were fol lowed by return cheeiing for the Democratic nominee, which continued until the train pulled out At Kenosha a thousand people were waiting. To them Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen: It is natural in a country like this, where all the power emunates from the people and where officers are chosen by the people, they should feel an interest in pnblio affairs and cam paigns through which they pass. When the time comes when the great question forces itself to the front the interest is deepened, and *we have reached such a time. Often it is a mat ter of comparatively little import ance whether an issue before the peo ple is settled this year or next, or a few years in the future; but there are times when great results depend on a campaign, and we have reached such a time. The money question has been forced upeii the attention of the peo ple by ■ those who are not satis fiied with the gradual appre ciation of the dollar, but have sought to hasten its rise. It certainlv has been too rapid for the welfare of the people, but those who were the beneficiaries of the appreciation of the dollar were not satisfied and attempt ed to hasten its rise by action still more hostile to the white metal. They have not been content to let the peo Ele have an increased value of money, ut have seoured the repeal of the Bherman law and put nothing in its place and then begun to issue bonds because hard times had made it ?m possible to invest money in enter prises. Property has fallen and when property is falling people do not waut to invest in property. They want to invest in money and then when money was idle and they could not find profit able investments in enterprises some wanted to draw a good interest on such investments. In my judgment those who want a safe investment and wanted government bonds issued were to a large extent responsible for the result. In our platform we have declared against the issue of bonds in times of peace. When you come to consider these questions, the interests 6f the people who must pay taxes which pay the bonds should be con sidered rather than the people who desire to prodt by taxation wrung from a people already overburdened. We knew when we put the clause in our plstform against the issue of bonds we would lose'the bondholders, but we want the people who pay the taxes ” THE 1X1ICBIIT CHARGE. A conservative estimate of the crowd at Racine to meet Mr. Bryan would be 1,800 people and it seemed if each one was trying to outdo all others in cheering. Captain W. B. < Vance of Racine introduced Mr. j Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentle men: When I see a large number of people like this who seem to he inter ested in the success of the campaign upon which we have started, 1 some times wonder whether it is possible that yon people are deserving of the names that are applied to you. If am an Anarchist, then all who want me elected must be Anarchists also. When I look into your faces I wonder whether you are all enemies of the government or enemies of those who want to use the government as a pri vate snap. There is a great difference between being against the govern ment and against uicw who misuse the government Andrew Jacks on said there were no aeoesaary evils in gov* eminent; that ita evils grew oat of its abase. Home people do not drew any lines between government and the abuse of government, and whenever people speak out against an abase of government those who are making money out of the abase 'generally find fault with the people | who complain and try to put them in !the attitude of opponents of govern ment. 1 want to assure you the most loyal supporters of government are not found in great trusts which think tkey are greater than the government end control It, They are found among the masses who want to secure love for the government by every eitlsen by making it so good It will deserve their love. Remember yon cannot reform evil by talking, you have got to reform it by voting. People may complain as much as they like ?*out, il ^ad ,aw- bnt the way to get rid of it is to repeal it and the way to repeal it is to vote for those who believe in repealing the laws that are bad and not those who want to make more bad laws and keep all the bad laws already in existence. If the people of this country would all rec ognize the power of the ballot and use that power as they should, there would be less complaint against injus tice. If our laws are bad, remember the people who permit the laws to re* main bad are to blame. If our lawi are to be good, those who want them good have got to make them good. I thank you.” DYNAMITED BY CUBANS. Railway Train Attacked, Spanish Boldler* Killed and Anna Captured. Key West. Fla., Sept 7.—Late Tuesday the Spanish authorities sent out a military train o*er the United railway.
