ney on Friday.
Madison, Wis, Oct. 31.-W. J. Bryan
began his Wisconsin campaign Friday
morning at Green Bay, where he ar
rived at $3.50 o'clock, after spending
three hours in his special car on siding
near that place. No incidents occurred
ON the night run from Chicago. Re-
tween 5000 and 5000 people braved the
raw morning air and stood around the
temporary platform in Whitney park
10 hear Mr.. Bryan. Goldbugs were
quite prominent on the streets of the
town, and cheers for Mckinley were
heard. Mr.. Bryan talked about the Ia
come tax feature of the Chicago plat
forms, holding that only the people
with large incomes were against it's
enactment. Ten minutes at Lapere
were devoted to telling a couple of thou
sand people something about the money
question. Kaukauna came next aud
another ten minute speech was made
by the candidate. His audience num-
bered 1900 and to it Mr.. Bryan said in
part:
Furry in Wall Street.
Yesterday evenings paper announced
that there had been furry in Wall street
and that money was loaning on call as
high as 100 per cent. What harvest these
people who have money and who can make
100 per cent. get out of this little embar-
you will have to wait before these people
who, whenever there is little embar-
rassment like this, can charge higher
rate Of interest? How long do you think
you will have to wait before these men will
Join In crusade to have money enough
In this country to do business with? You
might Just as well expect fox to stand
guard over a chicken house as to expect
them to do it,"
About 5000 people composed the gath
ering that greeted Mr.. Bryan at Apple
ton. They showed considerable en-
thusiasm.
Big crowds greeted Mr.. Bryan at
Menasha, where joint demonstration
with the residents of Neenah was held.
Gold badges were in evidence among
tho 1000 people whom Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed.
i With $4,000 expectant faces gazing
At him as he stood on the rear plat
form of 1.-THE Idler," Mr.. Bryan made
n speech at Oshkosh that brought con-
siderable warmth of feeling from his
supporters.
Talks Of the Gold Democrats.
Gen. Bragg, leader of the gold demo-
crats in Wisconsin, resides at Fond du
Lao, and apropos OF that fact Mr.. Bryan
had something to say of the gold move
ment to nearly 10000 of Gen. Bragg's
tellow-townsmen. He referred to the
fight tor delegates to the Chicago con-
Sention and said that just before tho
convention met a distinguished gold
democrat Of New York announced that
he was going to Chicago to carry the
convention for gold. That was W. C.
Whitney, but he found that the dele
gates who came instructed to vote for
. free coinage platform could neither
be driven from their instructions by
threats nor drawn by persuasion, but
they carried out the will Of the people
who sent them there, and that demo-
cratic convention was the most demo.
cratic convention that this nation hal
seen for 26 years.
Oakland and Chester turned out big
crowds to greet Mr.. Bryan. Fifteen
minutes at Juneau were spent in max.
ing speech to 5000 people. An ad.
dress purely argumentative, in which
Mr.. Bryan showed much vigor and
earnestness, was made to an audience
of about $500 at Watertown. There
was nothing new in the speech. The
larger part Of the crowd wore yellow
badges, and Mr.. Bryan's vigorous words
were addressed to those who displayed
them. A good-sized gathering heard
Mr.. Bryan at Jefferson. Then came
