THURSDAYS FURRY IN WALL STREET

Neenah, Wis, Oct. 9O.-Mr. Bryan be- gan his Wisconsin campaign this morn- ing at Green Bay, where he arrived at 8:90 o'clock, spending three hours in his special car on a siding near that place. No incidents occurred on the night run from Chicago.
 Between 5000 and 5000 people braved the raw morning air that came with chilling force across the breadth of Lake Michi- gan, and stood around the temporary platform in Whitney park to hear MT. Bryan. At first the audience was like the atmosphere, but it warmed up as MT. Bryan proceeded, and became exceeding ly enthusiastic. Green Bay was the home of Senator Howe and apropos of his views on the income tax back in the '70s. MT. Bryan talked about that feature of the Chicago platform, holding that only the people with large incomes were against it's enactment.
 Governor Peck joined MT Bryan at Green Bay and will accompany him through the state.
 Ten minutes at Lapere were devoted to telling the people something about the money question. utes speech was made by the candidate. His audience numbered 200O or 5000, and to it MT. Bryan said in part:
 Yesterday evenings paper announced that there had been a 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 embarrassment. How long do you suppose you will have to wait before these people, whenever there is little embarrassment 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 a. fox to stand guard over chicken house as to expect them to do it.''
 About 5000 people composed the gather ing that greeted MT. Bryan at Appleton. They showed considerable enthusiasm
 The neighboring towns of Neenah and Menasha held a joint demonstration in honor of the democratic candidate at the latter place. Gold badges were in evil dence among the 2000 people whom Mir Bryan addressed.
 With 15,OOO expectant faces gazing at him as he stood on the rear platform of the 'rIdler" MT. Bryan made a speech at Oshkosh that brought considerable warmth of feeling from his supporters. A fair amount of enthusiasm was shown. The crowd stretched more than 100 feet back from the car and for a greater dis tance on both sides. Many people there wore gold badges, but they did not at- tempt any counter demonstration
 A number of prominent Wisconsin poli ticians joined MT. Bryan at points along his route. Among them were W. c. Sil- verthorne, democratic nominee for gov ernor; T. B. Lamoreaux, commissioner of the federal land office, and ex-Congress- man Miller. Clinton Babbitt, also an ex- congressman, accompanied the party from Chicago, and was one of the score of people who tried to find accommoda- tion in dozen berths in the "Idler.'
