THREE PERISH IN A FIRE.
Mr. Bryan vigorously denounced the
war in tbe Philippines and tba present
large standing army, claiming it the
duty of the Democratic party to reek
the redaction of tbe army to the
footing of 25,000.
Mr. Bryan at some length paid his re-
spects to Mr. MoKinley’s announced
determination to hold tha Philippines
and uid it was the first announcement
of the president of the United Statu
against the spirit and doctrine of the
declaration of independence. In re
ferring to the president’s deolaration
that congress wonld provide for tbe gov
ernment of tbe islands he uid:
“Yon ahonld substitute parliament
for congress and revert to the time
when the ooloniu asked recognition of
King George. ”
He ridiculed the claim that wa had a
right to the Islands became we had pur
chased the islands from a discredited
monarchy.
He then touched npon tbe silver qou*
tion at a matter of vital interest to tbe
people as a whole and nrged the re
affirmation of the Chloago platform.
At Fnlton there wae a good crowd
and Mr. Bryan spoke from the rear

Ir. James Blaekbnrn.
