November 2

Aurora, NE (Paraphrase)

Nebraska State Journal, Lincoln, NE, 3 November, 1896.

[Referring to those in the crowd wearing yellow ribbons, Mr. Bryan] said...that he did not know what colors were worn by those who advocated the English interests in 1776, but that he knew what color those advocates of English interests wear today. He said the people were divided into two classes, those who produce wealth and those who live off the labor of others.
