There is the statement of the Republican ndidate for Vice President e that two months before the war broke out evegy- b ¥ knew that there would be trouble in t Philippine Islands if the treaty was ratified ut T want to go a step further and I want to show you that in his retreat he has become so scared that he has hid- den behind a bill introduced by a Demo- cratic Senator. Let me read you the tex “The bill for the temporary increase which Mr. Bryan apparently seeks to per- suade his hearers is a permanent increass introduced by Senator Cockrell of Missouri, a Democratic supporter of Mr. Bryan, and the bulk of the patriotic Dem. rats in both houses voted for it.” “My friends, that is a different bill. The President asked for an army of 100000, and a Republican House of Representa: tives passed the bill mnkl:g the army 100,000, as the President asked, and when that Republican treaty had been signed | with Spain there was not an arm raised against this nation anywhere. What was that bill introduced by Senator Cock- rell? It was a substitute for the per- manent army bill.

Now, let the Republi- cans defend their large army.

If a Republican tries to defend the army, what does he He says we have it because of our foreign policy: But there is a domestic reason, and that domestic reason has its influence with the heads of the great syn- dicates of this country. They tell vou, if you will ask them in confidence, that they want a bigger army for domestic' pur- poses, the law; but the object is to build a fort near each large city and have an army present to suppress by force the discon tent that ought to be cured by legisla- tion. That is the domestic reason for a large army.” At Sterling, where a brief stop was made, Mr. Bryan was introduced to a | glsantic man named Captain Bates, said to be the largest man in America. Mr. Bryan said: | the within a Root would ask the next to_preserve order and to enforce | | trusts. 1 | or 13 more | toral | ana which | | 1minois *“You dre the only man in this country | that can afford to adopt the theory that | a big m an whip a little man and then own him. Mr. Bryan arrived in Akron at 8:30 and | began speech mcre than an hour afterward The intervening time was spent in a parade through the streets of Akron, ich was participated In clubs from Akron and surrounding cities. It was stated that 1500 persons had ap- plied for places from Canton and Mas- sillon alone. The line of march was | marked with red fire and the dis other fireworks. Mr. Bryan wa to the place of meeting in an open car- riage, drawn by four mjlk-white horses, The speaking occutred from a stand | erected on Main street, at the rear of the Bulchet House. It was impossible to drive the carriage nearer than 250 feet of the stand because of the density of the | by | crowd and it took five minutes of time | to get him through the throng to_ the stand. When it reached the stand he faced a multitude of people that filled tha | broad thoroughfare on Main street for two or three blocks and extended iInto | the cross streets for quite a distance. The demonstration ‘was one of the great- est ever seen Guring the campalgn. Mr. Bryan was in fine volce, but it is safe to | say that net one-fourth of the people present were able to follow the speech ecause of the Immensity of the crowd and the constant noise and confusion. ‘When Mr. Bry: received with great cneers. the trust question at the outset a most every sentence of the spee voted to this subject was loudly plauded. He said that when suits were brought to dissolve the trusts there were generally threats of leaving the town. | ~“‘Suppose.” he went on, “a man belng prosecuted’ for horse-stealing should threaten to leave the State If prosecuted. Would 1 stop the prosecution on that account?” He concluded by saying that the law should be enforced, whether it. affected large offenders or small ones. n arose to speak he was | He took up | | and enthusiastic crowd greeted Adlai E. | In his discussion of the necessity for the enforcement of the anti-trust Bryan referred to the stand of Mayor Joneg of Toledo said: ur Mavor here, from Toledo, says that Is what he wants; the Republican party is driving its best men out of the party.

To my mind the situa- tion in Virginia is similar to that in Mary- land. The Democratic leaders do not seem to realize the situation, although I have warned them what they may expect if they do not change matters. Democrats throughout the State are apathetic.

Edgerton, the secretary, was given out this evening by the People’s Party Na- tional Committee: “Bryan will be elected; he has lost none of the support he had in 159 except a few B Republicans - in the mountain States. Of these there will not be enough to affect a single electoral vote. He will hold his own west of the Mississippi, and he carried in 189, with the possible ex- ception of Wyoming. He will gain heav- ily in the central West and East; he will not only have all the Democrats and Pop- ulists who supported him in ‘9, but added » these he will receive the votes of a rge number of Gold Democrats and ‘mer Republicans who have left their party on the issues of imperialism and “The following States may be classed as certain to cast their electoral vote for Bryan: Alabama 11, Arkansas 8, Coloradu 4, Florida 4, Georgla 13, Idaho 3, Louisiana 8, Mississippi 9, Missouri 17, Montana 3, Nebraska 5, Nevada 3, North Carolina 11, South Carolina 9, Tenne: e Texas 15, Utah 3, Virginia 1 total 153.

They are confident of the result. “In Washington we will win with near- 1y the same plurality as we did in 1806. The conditions which prevall in the west coast States do not particularly affect Washington. “In West Virginia we are making gains constantly. While McKinley carried that State by over 11,000 in 1896, the Republi- can Congressional candidates only had about in 1898. The same conditions which will give us Kentucky and Mary- land will also win West Virginia for the reform candidate.”” FEW,WAGERS AT WASHINGTON. Plenty of Republican Money, but Democrats Are Slow to Take It. WASHINGTON, Oct, 13.—Election bet- ting in Washington up to the present time 1= almost a megative quantity. A liberal stimate of the amount of money placed up to the present time is $7500, and in making this ageregate it is necessary to | ,unt all the small bets made. The pre- ailing odds are three to one or McKin- Brokers and cthers who are generally called on to act as stakeholders say that there is plenty of Republican money at three to one, but the Democrats have as yet shown no inclination to back their convictions with cash, A comparison with | four years ago at Shoomaker's, the recog- | nized headquarters for bettors.'shows that | it may be too early to get an {dea of what may vet be done in betting before the election takes place. The books of this | firm show that four yvears ago their first bet was recorded on’ October 13 and the last on October 31. The amount of money placed was $20,000, and odds were inva- riably three to one on McKinley. Betting on the result in Maryland is generally a feature here. The Democrats are demand- ing ten to seven at the present time, al- thougn even money was placed a short time ago. The most notable bet recorded on the result in Maryland so far is one of $500 | even that McKinley will carry the State by 15,000 majority. STEVENSON IN DELAWARE. Addresses Immense Crowds at Laurel and Wilmington. WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 13.—A large Stevenson to-night at the opera-house in this city, where he made a speech In sup- port of the candidates of the political party represented by him. Although ad- verse weather conditions existed there were immense crowds and he was given great attention. He made a speech at Laurel which was practically on the same lines as that delivered to-night. Mr. Stevenson reached this city morning and was met by a number of prominent State Democrats.
