the Badger State.

MADISON, Wis, Oct 30.-Mr. Bry-
ans speeches today were made at
Green Bay, Depere. Kaukauna. Apple
ton. Neenah and Menasha, Oshkosh,
Fond du Lac, Chester, Juneau, Water
town. Jefferson, Fort Atkinson, James,
vile. Evansville and Madison. None of
them was more than thirty minutes ou-
ration, except the addresses which were
made at night at Madison.
All except the Madison speech were
made from the rear of his speclal car.
'rhe arrangement proved of immense
henefit to Mr., Bryan, saving him the
wear ard tear of making his way PACK
and forth through immense crowds OF
people, eager to press close TO MIN, anu
also in saving time. From almost the
beginning of the days tour, the train
ran ahead of time, bringing Mr.. Bryan
into Madison in time to begin his speech
in advance of the hour scheduled for his
appearance. There was no semblance OF
disturbance at any place until James,
vile was reached. There it was appar-
ent, from the display of yellow badges
in many places. that his audiences were
not entirely in sympathy with him. Still
there was respectful attention from
those who wols the colors of the oppo-
sition, and the silven men were at all
places demonstrative.
The towns visited by Bryan in the
Badger state this morning We're lib
eraiiy bedecked with yellow. Not since
he left the Ohio river valley has he en-
countered crowds 50 autagonistic to his
views. White ribbons were worn by
many of his hearers, but the majority a
the first few stops did not hesitate to
SHOW their preference for the yellow
metal.
At Green Bay at $40 o'clock Bryan
addressed several thousand people.
There was not much enthusiasm at the
start but before he had concluded his
speech his audience was applauding
him literally.
He spoke from platform in Whitney
park, eX-Gov. Peck introducing him.
Among other things he said: This city
believe was the home of Senator Howe.
His language in regard to tile effects of
the single gold standard ought to call
the attention of the people of this sec
ton to that subject so that they will
Investigate for themselves. But I re-
member Senator Howe for one reason.
IF l am not mistaken, it was Senator
Howe, who was one of the principal
advocates of the income tax at the time
it was abolished. back in the '70's. If
you will read what he says about the
justice of the income tax you will then
understand why we believe that the in
come tax is still proper in this country.
And, my friends, while l am on this
treated the supreme court as gently as
we ought. l want you to find out who is
the man who criticises what we say.
You will find that the people best sat
isfied with the income tax decision are
the people with large incomes, who are
shirking their duties to the government.
trying to secure the protection without
paying their share of the tax. Cap
piausa.l
you will find the men who are so
anxious that nothing shall be said,
against the income tax decision are men
who attaci: every court and every de-
cislor tha- is against them, and never
shay any respect for law or authority
o. Gnvt.i'ny else unless it is of advantage
&C. item TO do so. (Cheers) We declare,
my friends. against contracts maya

future will prevent the making of spec-
:al contracts and our reason for this is
tnat mor"y is q thing necessary for our
