The usual wild scramble in an en-
deavor to shake the candidates hand
was Witnessed The same was repeat
ed at Quincy and Coldwater, Mich AT
Sturgis, where Mr.. Bryan was met by
the ElIzhart committee with d special
train, he found another great crowd,
and made an address which was
warmly eheered. Among other points,
he repeated this query:
IF the gold standard is a good thing,
why does the Republican party pledge
nations will come to our help? (Ap-
plause) If the gold standard is a bad
thing, then why keep chat bad thing
for a. single moment The American
people are entitled to good things. They
are not deserving of being punished
with bad things that other nations may
wanc to impose upon them. We will
not consult the nations of the earth
when we desire to set UP a government
for ourselves. Neither should we con-
suit them when we want to establish
a financial policy of our own. (Ap-
plause) The Republican party does
what no party has heretofore done. 1t
has declared that we must endure a
financial system that is satisfactory to
European nations until those nations
come to us and permit US to have what
we ourselves want. (Applause.) 1 am
nOc surprised that people are feeling
interested in this campaign. L am not
surprised that there is an earnestnesS
that has not often been manifested be
