left Aberdeen early in the morning leav-
ing a commodious and comfortable Tor
the common. everyday or every-night
sleeper which went over road bed not con-
dusive 10 rest or comfort even OF a caldl-
date of Mr. Bryan's sleeping qualities
There was a bad mix up al Aberdeen ow-
ing to somebody's mismanagcment. The
train was over two hours late wnen 1t
reached there and then 1t was found that
there were no switch tracks allowing the
transfer of the special car from the tracks
Of the Chicago & Northwestern over
which the panty arrived, TO those oil the
Great Northern. which road had 10 De
taken in order to allow the party TO gel
to Fargo. There was telegraphing and hur-
ried consultations and the result oil IL all
was that at 1 o'clock q special train was
taken from Aberdeen TO this city. ON the
train were Senator Roacn and members
of the local committee 20 escort Bryan.
The candidate took the car OF the Fargo
committee while his own private coach
went on to St. Paul under charge Of John
W. Tomlinson. of Alabama, Mr.. Bryan 5
protector from crowds and over-zealous
supporters.
1t was only o'clock wnen Mr.. Bryan
was up again TO address a number OF
early rising enthusiasts in bear skin
coats Then he went back to bed and
slept until O'Clock. when Fargo was
reached. Mr. Bryan had breakfast here
with Senator Roach and the reception
committee at the Metropole. At lOl5 he
went to the base bail park and delivered
an address half an hour long.
At the base ball grounds great crowd
had obtained admission 10 the enclosure.
On the platform placed in a conspicuous
place was the somewhat historic eagle;
belonging TO the more historic BuG
Reeves. who. il will be remembered,
made a canvass for Congress, mounted
on a white horse, wrapped in the Am
erican flag and with q stuffed eagle
perched on his shoulder. Mr.. Bryan
was received with as much enthusiasm
Is could De expected on a day so chilly.
He was introduced by Hon. J. h. Mil
Ter. president Of the city bank, and spoke
at some length, receiving great applause
when he made a telling point.
At Breckenridge, Mr.. Bryan spoke
brieay from the rea~ platform OF his
car to a good sized crowd. He was in
troducsd by F. c. Gibbs as the next
president OF tha United States.
ST. PAUL. Mimi. October 1O.-A three
minute stop was made at Herman and Mr..
Bryan discussed the ffty-cent dollar prop
osition as he has discussed it often before,
along the same line that the opening Of
the mints would create a cemand for sill
YER. which would place the silver dollar
on an equality with the gold dollar any
where in the world.
In conclusion he claimed that the main
tenance Of the gold standard meant
continuance of hard times.
At Morris. Mimi, the largest and most
enthusiastic crowd was found since Far
go was left behind. Mr.. Bryan spoke TO
the people a few minutes from the rear
platform Of the car. He denied the claim
Of the Republicans that commerce deter
mined the financial policy Of this country
rather than legislation.
A short stop was made at Benson and
Mr.. Bryan spoke a few minutes. He told
the people that the dollar had been get
ting larger and larger all the time and
has been buying more and more of their
farm products.
1t was crowd of farmers that received
Mr.. Bryan from one end Of the trip TO the
other and at no place were they more en-
thusiastic than at Wilmar. Mr.. Bryan
told them that the American people had
always been equal to any emergency and
that a crisis had been reached in the his
tory of the country. He said that for
years the Republicans had been working
to maintain a gold standard under cover,
openly advocating bimetallism.
The nominee told the people Of Litch-
field. where a crowd of several hundred
people had gathered, that the money ques-
ton was not too deep for the American
people. He cited from James G.. Blaine
TO support his theory of free coinage.
At Waverly. which was reached late
itlS lANAlll' tllA9 Ni+f'l'iitA VA "'N'
a crude banner marked "Our sons will
answer Yale November 3"
Mr.. Bryan spoke briefly. confning him
self mainly TO an explanation of the real
meaning of free coinage and the distorted
meanings put upon the term by the gold
people.
The last stop OF the day before Mime
apolis was reached was at Delano, where
Mr.. Bryan spoke to a crowd Of several
hundred from the rear platform. He did
not discuss the money question directly
but told his hearers that one of the vital
points in the issue of the campaign was
one Of sympathy for the struggling
masses. When they came to make up
their mind which way TO vote. their SYM
pethies would determine their decision
If they sympathized with the masses OF
the people they would vote for bimetal-
ism. but if their sympathies were with
the capitalistic classes they would vote
for the gold standard.
