He referred to his boyhood days and
friends with much feeling. Mr. Bryan
said, in part:
"If I wanted to declare myself a great
man, this is the last place I would come
to make such a declaration, because, you
have known me from my boyhood; but
if any one wanted to declare that I was
a bad man I would want him to make
the declration here rather than any place
else.
"I hardly feel like making a political
to me. Here my parents are buried.

have tried to follow. I know the people
here, and know how conscientious they
are. 'When I see the picture of my op
ponent in the windows of Republicans.
1 know how conscientious they must
be and how certain they are that my
election would be injurious to the coun
try, oi they would not exhibit the pic
tures upon the occasion of my return to
my birthplace. It is to these -Republicans
that I desire to appeal.
'When I retnrn to Salem I find vacant
chairs. I find that since my last visit
Republicans and Democrats have passed
away. 1 mm they nave been crossing
over Into tho land where differences in
politics do not divide them. I wonder if
it is not possible for lis so to understand
the issues that there will be less divis
ion here."
Mr. Bryan told of the subject of the
meetings at other pieces visited by htm.
and the enthusiasm with which he has
been received.
yIf the election were held today," he
said, "there is no doubt that we would
have a majority in the electoral college
and of the popular vote. But the Re
publican managers are now collecting
from the monopolies a large campaign
fund. They will bii3' every vote -that
can be bought. 1 hoy will coerce every
vote, that can Ik? coerced. They will
intimidate every laboring man "who can
le intimidated. They will bribe every
election judge that can be bribed. They
will corrupt every court that can be cor
rupted. I do not understand how it is
possible for the plain, every-day Repuli-
Iicnn to close his eyes, to what is going
on when he knows that if he aids these
nfluences to carry the election at this
time, the same motions can be employed
to 'carry othe r elections when those who
ire supporting tbe Republican ticket now
will be opposing the Republican ticket
hen."
Mr. Bryan concluded . his speech with
an argument on the trust question, on
militarism and on imperialism, lie left
Salem shortly aft?r N o'clock and made
ten-minute speeches at Mount Vernon
and Benton. . At these places he was
eceived by large audiences. His speeches
were along the same general lines as
hose delivered heretofore.

Mitchell Answners No Question
Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 8. Immediately
upon issuance of the call for the miners'
convention today President Mitchell was
besieged with questions as to the pur
pose and probable outcome of the.con-r
veution. He declined to express any
opinirtn upon thesV points. He said the
discussion would be left entirely to the
men, who would have to settle every
thing that came before them. As the
companies and operators who had grant-
je concessions in wages do not specify
in their notices for how long a time the
advance shall remain in force, it is very
i.-ely the miners convention will en
deavor to open negotiations with the
operators, looking towards a settlement
in this respect.' It, is said that President
Mitchell and other leaders strongly.favor
the establishment of an annual wages
scale arrangement, similar to that in
force in the bituminous, region, in the
anthracite field. There the operators
