BUT THEYW0RE OUT THE RAIN
MADE THREE SPEECHES IN MILWAUKEE

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. civilian J. Bryan reached the Northwestern station here at 11;10 this morning and was met by Ex-Governor Peck and W. c. Silver thorn, democratic candidate for governor of Wisconsin. Owing to good police ar- engagements the crowd gathered at the station was prevented from rushing on the platform, as at other places visited by the candidate, and MT. Bryan had a clear space to his carriage.
 Chairman James w. Murphy and the other members of the Milwaukee escort committee, who had met Mr. Bryan at kenosha, fell In behind and entered the carriages reserved for them.
 The crowd at the station numbered several thousand and MT. Bryan was cheered in his progress along the plat form. The route by which he went to the Plankington hotel was lined with people and there was occasional ap- plause, which grew to an almost contin- uous cheer as the hotel was approached. The streets in front of the Plankington were packed with people, and when MT. Bryan appeared on the balcony they manifested their feelings in loud yells. MT. Bryan made few remarks and was frequently interrupted by cries of ap- proval. Afterwards he held reception in the paflors of the hotel.
 uISG Spe6cueS were made DY MT. Bryan before Milwaukee audiences to- day. In the first the democratic candi- date scored those who took part in the gold convention at Indianapolis, accus- ing them of dishonest intention in nomi- mating a third ticket. One of the other addresses was the most sensational Mr. Bryan has delivered during the cam palgn. It was devoted almost entirely ito the government bond issues and teem- ed With implication of the administration md f6n He did not mention any names, but it was evident who he meant in his de- nunclatory statement.
 A heavy rain spoiled the afternoon speech for half of those who attended the Bryan meeting at National park today About 5000 people composed the audience ana large segmentS of them broke and ran when the rain became downpour The other 5000 or so held their ground and very uncomfortable ground at that, and would not let the candidate cut his remarks short, as he said he wanted to do, despite the fact that nearly every body was drenched to the skin.
 Both of tonights meetings were held in SchltZ park. The first address of MT Bryan there was delivered in a small theater in which 2000 people found seats and another thousand crowded the aisles and the spaces around the door. Outside Tn the damp night air were gathered more than 5000 people who were unable to gain admttance, and these MT. Bryan ad- dressed after his indoor speech was con- cluded. Both audiences were liberal in applause, and the utterances concerning the bond negotiatio which bordered on the sensational, were received with great cheering. During part of Mr. Bryan's re- marks in the theater there was much confusion and shouting by those outside the door and the speaker was compelled to pause several times. For the first half hour of his speech considerable hissing was heard, but it was not apparent whether this mark of disapproval was in- tended for MT. Bryan or for them who were causing the confusion.
 At National Park.
 A rainstorm had bad effect on the meeting addressed by MT. Bryan at Ma tional park this afternoon A tempora- ry stand had been erected in the center of the half mile race track within the park gate, and at 2:4O o'clock when MT. Bryan arrived at the grounds about b006 people were gathered about it. Many people had left when the rain be- gan to fall and those who remained hoisted umbrellas and decided to stick it out
 From the speakers stand the scene presented was curious one, with the field covered with a sea of umbrellas and parasols, which obstructed the view of most of the spectators, only those near the stand being able to see and hear with any satisfaction.
 The rain came down with distress ing regularity when MT. Bryan drove into the enclosure and many people sought cover, He was greeted with cheers.
 The speakers stand was crowded with many Bryan supporters from Milwaukee and elsewhere in Wisconsin. Ex-Gov- ernor Peck and Judge Silverthorn, dem ocratic candidate for governor, were among those who had prominent places.
 The rain became a steady downpour as the meeting was called to order and, mounted on a chair with local commit teeman holding an umbrella over his head. MT. Bryan addressed the gather ing. He said the democrats knew not only what they wanted. but were going to get it. They had not only a policy which they could proclaim. but one thsy gold standard because it was bad, be- cause it had ruined the commerce of the country and had been destructive of the country's interests
 To a request by one of his listeners for "something about the old soldier' MT. Bryan said: 'I am not afraid that any man who risked his life in his nations behalf is going to be influenced by the ar guments that are addressed to soldiers now by the financiers who during the war looked out for themselves and left the soldier to look out for himself, (Ap- plause) l am not afraid the men who were willing at that time to endure the dangers. of war because they believed .iO uidch Hldn SnOulu De Ifee are gong to join the ranks of the gold standard to enslave 70,000, GOO of people, white and black" (Applause)
 Tells Story.
 To urge the necessity of every man thinking for himself and not to listen to the advice of those who had selfish inter- ests to protect. Mir. Bryan told the follow ing incident of his early career as an at torney:
 T remember when first began to prac- tice law man came to me one day and said: Will you take little case for me over before the justice? and said, Yes He said: r don't know whether I need anybody or not. was over there the oth-
