| DETROIT'S STREETS BLOCKED.
| Detroit. Mich. Oct 17.-Wm. j. Bryan
completed his tour of Michigan to-
night by adressing the largest throngs
of people ever gathered at political
meetings in Detroit. From a platform
erected against the Washington Boulc-
ward side of the Hotel Cadillac he talk
ed to mass of people which filed the
wide boulevard and extended far into
adjoining streets. At the Auditorium
he spoke to an audience which occupied
every inch of space, while thousands
stood outside waiting for possible
| sight of the candidate. Lastly he APP
/ peared upon stand erected at the
| Woodward avenue front of the City
Hall before a crowd which was so great
| that it stopped all street ear and other
| traffic entirely.
The candidates trala was met at
| the Woodward AyGaue station. three
| miles from the center of the city by
| the reception committee. The prcces-
sion of carriages trotted down Wood
ward avenue to the Cadillac by rear
entrance, thus avoiding the crowd on
Michigan avenue. A roar of enthusiastic
applause went UP from the crowd as
| Bryan appeared and tremendous en-
thusiasm was kept up the entire even
ing.
At the Washington Boulevard speech,
| Mr.. Bryan said in part:
''We have lost the support of some
Democrats, but, my friends, it is only
| the big Democrats who have left us.
,rxf
true to the traditions of the party. And
| we have not lost even all of our leaders,
because where we have given up John
we still have Dan. But, my friends,
even if we have lost our leaders, it is
a great deal easier in a country like
| this, for party to get leaders than
| it is for leaders to form a party. (Great
applause.) In this cntest where pluto
/ cracy is arrayed on one side and De
mocracy on the other, the Democrats
who leave us in the face of the enemy
must understand that they surrender
i all claim to authority in the Demo
| cratic party and all claim of respect
of those who love jefferson and Jack
son. Great applause.)
SAME FIGHT EVERY GENERATION.
"We are fighting the same fight that
has been fought in every generation.
| 1t is fight that comes, in our form
| of government, over and over again.
In times of peace and quiet, the great
| aggregations of wealth, silently obtain
possession of the government. They
have used the instrumentalities of gov
ernment for private gain. They have
| used the powers of government for
public plunder, and then when the peo-
pie become aroused, when they realize
| their danger and when the people gath
er themselves together to drive out
/ of power those who have abused the
government, those in the enjoyment of
| special privileges always entrench
| themselves behind a bulwark, raised
| to contribute magnificent campaign
| funds to retain power, expecting to
| get back more out of the people than
| it cost to buy an election. But the
American people have never failed in
| any crisis in the past, nor have they
reason to believe that they will fail
| in this great crisis. 1t is true that
we have on the other side a great cam
paign fund as was ever raised in Ameri-
can politics. 1t is true that they are
| are resorting to intimidation and coer-
| cion as they never resorted to them
before, but, my friends, while money
| talks, money don't vote in the United
| States. Great applause.) In this
campaign, we believe that the rank and
| file of the voters of the United States,
knowing what the gold standard has
done, knowing what the gold stand
ard is doing. knowing what the gold
| standard must continue to do will
| arouse themselves for one supreme
| struggle and in that struggle, the con-
sciences of the American people will
| prevail over the pull of the syndicates,
trusts and combinations.
| BROWNS DISSENTING OPINION.
Saginaw, Mich, Oct 17.-Union Park
| race course had a great crowd inside
| the enclosure when Mr.. Bryan arrived
to-day. The grandstand was filled and

dense throng. TT was an enthusiastic

in much the same manner as before;
