Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 15. The train on whicn Mr. oryan maac ma journey to-day was run as the second section of the regular Frankfort ac commodation., Mr. Bryan and his party, which included Senator Blackburn, Rep resentative Allen, of Mississippi, ex- Representative Stone, of Kentucky, Gen. Wat Harden and others of promi nence, occupied the same special car used on yesterday's journey, furnished by Urey Woodson, the Democratic Na tional committeeman from this State. A heaw rain set in shortly alter tne candidate left Louisville, and the damp atmosphere had its effect on bis already enfeebled voice wnen ne maue me nrsi speech of the day. As thoroughly Ured out as Mr. Brvan was last night after one of the hardest days in his cam paign, he looked rejuvenated this morning ana reaay tor anomer oracai, and even his voice gained strength after he had sooken awhile and it came out strong, although very husky. Knots of people were gathered to see tne can didate at several small stations where stops were made. 1 The first speech was at La Grange. Several hundred people, witn a heavy percentage of pretty girls, cheered Mr. Bryan when be came out on the back platform of his special car. A sudden down-pour 01 rain aia not dis perse the enthusiastic crowd that heard the candidate. At Eminence, where the train arrived at 9.12 o'clock, banners waved in the streets and a brass band was on hand Mr. Brvan was in the midst of his re marks when the clouds broke. A yell went up from the crowd, numbering at least 2.500. and some ran for shelter, but the maioritv held their places, huddled together under a sea of umbrellas. Mr Brvan said he would stop talking until the ram ceased,.bnt the crowd would not let him, and be went on. Among otner thincs he said "If any man in this community wouia ... , a offer to buy all the eggs produced at 25 cents per dozen and was able to make good the offer nobody would sell eggs for less, no matter what the cost of pro duction, whether one cent or five cents a dozen. So with silver, free coinage would establish the market price of sil vet at ftl.29 and nobody would sell it for a cent less. During the last five years the production of gold has increased more rapidly-proportionately than the production of silver, and yet gold has advanced, owing toour present financial system. A few people braved tne rain to get a peep at the candidate at Cbristiansburg. At several small station crowds cheered the train as it whisked by Rain did not suppress the enthusiasm ot the throng that heard Mr. Bryan speak during his short stop at Frankfort this morning, lhe L,. & JN. tracks run directly in front of the State Capitol and the open space in front of the quaint old buildings was packed with a solid mass of umbrella bearers when Mr. Bryan s train drew up there, after a run of two hours and forty-five minutes from Louis ville at 10 80 o clock. A stand covered with bunting and lithographs of Bryan had been erected on the edge of the Cap itol grounds and Mr. Brvan was escorted to this, a few steps only from where the train halted. Mayor Julian introduced Mr. Bryan, while the crowd cheered with vigor. When he was permitted to talk he said : Ladies and gentlemen : I am in hearty accord witb the declarations con tamed in the Chicago platform Cheers.! Sometimes people have de scribed party platforms as like the plat forms ot railroad coaches, made to get on, but not to stand on after you get on. Laughter 1 But that is not my Idea of a party platform. I have been reared in tbat school of Democracy which taught tbat the officer, who for a short time exercised the authority conferred by law, was the. servant of those for whom he labored and that they have a right to prescribe his course of conduct. Applause J The adoption of platforms is the recognition of the right of the people to instruct the public servants. It is a recognition of the fact that pub? lie officers are elected, not to think for the people upon the great issue, but to act tor the people after they themselves have thought. I Applause. J If 1 am elected I will take it for granted that the people are in favor of the policies for which I at this 'time stand, and the people shall never have cause to com' plain ot my desertion of the cause which I advecite. Cheers, long and continued applause A voice, "What's the matter with Joe Blackburn? j Mr. Bryan: "Joe Blackburn is where he always is. in the front of every fight.' Great applause. It seems to me that this campaign demonstrates more than any recent campaign the power of the people to govern themselves. I Cheer ing.l In ordinary times people let the machinery of the party control, but in times of great emergency, the people themselves assert their sovereign right to conduct public affaiis. Cheering "The Dem Dcratic party has proved in the recent campaign the capacity of the people to do what they please in a measure whicb coccerns them. We en ter upon a great contest in the Demo cratic party in which Democrats differ; some believe in a gold stand ard a voice, 'and let them go' and some believe in the free coinage of silver, and these classes of Democrats went before the primaries throughout the States to determine before the peo ple themselves what should be the policy of the Democratic party, We believe tbat a majority of the party had a right to control the policy of the party. Ap plause and cheers Not only the right to control the policy of the party, but the' right to retain the party name by so controlling it. Applause. The battle was fought out at Chicago, and in a regular way the majority of the Demo crats of this Union declared far the im mediate restoration of free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver applause at the present ratio of 16 to 1, applause witnout waiting tor the consent or am of any other nation. Applause Versailles, Ky., Sept. 15. Rain was falling heavily when Bryan's special car reached the little town of Midway at 11.80 this morning, and the people, who were expecting a speech from Mr. Bryan, were disappointed on account of the weather. They crowded around the train and asked for a few words, but Mr. Bryan decided not to talk at Midway. Mr. Bryan, senator Blackburn.

Bryan was given a rousing re- cention here. He made a speech at the fair grounds to an Immense " audience estimated at from 12.000 to 80,000. The spacious grand stand, said to hold a.uuu people, was nsea oy specMui w ius -tent of three-fourths of its capacity. In the lower story, which was packed with humanity, nearly all the places were filled by men, while in the upper story a majority of the on-lookers were women. On the track in front of -the kiosk-like judge's stand, from which Mr. Bryan made ms aaaress, several muuidou and boys stood ankle-deep in mud; else where about the stand were a couple of thousand more spectators. Mr. Bryan. Senator Blackburn ana a big party of Democrats from Louisville and other places in the State, reached Lexington from Versailles over the Southern Railway at 2 p. m., and were met by State Senator Bronson, chair man of the Democratic State Central Committee, and a number of local sup porters. Mr. Brvan was presented by State Senator ' Bronson. Just after the candidate had begun his speech a heavy shower drove manyspectatots from the field, but their places were taken by a continuous stream of constantly arriv ing people. , One of the pleasant mciaenis 01 me day was the parade of over 800 horse men, which passed the stand from which Mr. Bryan was speaking, la tne mia- dle of his speech the equestrians made their appearance, carrying banners, and interrupted Mr. Bryan in his talk, mak ing a very impressive signt. xney cheered him time and again, and fell in line at the outskirts of the crowd and listened to the rest of his speech. Mr. Bryan said in part: Nature smiles upon your nusoanary. Your soil gives forth in rich profusion, but according to the experience of the farmer, with all he can do with his in dustry, with his economy, with all his patient toil, he finds that the load of the American farmer grows harder every year. Great applause. In olden times, nnder tne rule of those who waved and swept the saber as they deemed by right divine, complaint was answered by the lash; but now, the just complaint of the toiling millions of the United States is answered by charges that they are Anarchists and Socialists, lureat ap plause. ".friends, there is one uniortunate thing in connection with the use of the word Anarchist as applied to those who are banded together to restore the money of the Constitution. Anarchy is a thing not to be considered in a land like this. Anarchy can have no home among the people who have the ballot to right their wrongs. ureat appiause.j And the un fortunate thing about this campaign is that when the name 'Anarchist' is ap plied to the bone and muscle of this country by men wno are aomg more to overthrow our Government than anv Anarchist who ever carried a red flag. say tnen wnen tnis wora 'Anarcnist is appiiea to tne toning minions oy men who seek without toil to usurp the fruits and reap the rewards of these who. toil, the danger is that it will make the name respectable because of its association Uproarious applause and loud cheer ing. I protest against the use of that name for the purpose which deprives it of all its terrors. ' 'My friends, those who are opposed to us cannot afford 10 place the farmers of this country and the laborers of this country in the position of enemies of government, becausj they are the only tnends any government ever had. - Ap plause.) My friends these very men who. are abused and despised by those who doubt the capacity of the masses for self gov ernment are the very people who in time of emergency must protect their calum niate rs from themselves and their associ ates. My friends, there is not a syndicate tbat has preyed upon the public which woulcTnot rather try its cases against another syndicate before the common people of this country than before a jury .made up 01 another syndicate. Great applause. 1 shall remember this speech because of the most remarkable parade which it has ever been my good fortune to witness. Applause And they bore banners which pre Sin t mottoes which make any farther speaking unnecessary. If I were to talk to you from now until night I could not more than emphasize the mottoes which, have passed in proces sion before you. Applause. I saw the motto 'Our barns are full, but our pockets are empty.' Applause. And in that sentence is epitomized twenty years of farming history in the United States." On the conclusion of his speech Mr. Bryan was driven to bis special car at the Louisville & Nashville station, fol lowed by the cavalcade that had formed part of his escort to the grounds. The train left for Maysville at 5 p. m. Maysville Ky., Sept. 15. Mr. Bryan ended up his Kentucky campaign here to-night by addrersrag several thousand people during a heavy rainstorm. He reached Maysville by a special train at 7.15 p. m., and left on it for Lexington at 8 80. At. Lexington be will change to the regular Qaeen & Crescent train, scheduled to leave there at 1045 to night for Knoxviile and Har- riman, Tenn. ELEC rORAL FUSION.

The Democrats proposed this forty- five days ago. Tbe Populists declined it until they bad fused witb the Republicars on tbe State ticket and attempted fusion on Congressional tickets.
