MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 14.-Can-
didate Bryan reached this city tnls
evening.
The weather has been very consider
ate to Candidate Bryan the last Two
DAYS. Where he had reason to anticl-
nate cold, sagreeable travelling, ne
has encountered sunshine and warmth.
AS usual he begun work early this
morning, making his first speech at
Jronwood, at 8:45. The special car OF
Chairman Campau of the campaign
committee was added to the train at
Duluth. the Michigan committee which
is escorting the nominee through the
country being aboard. Besides Mr..
Campau, the committee consisted of ex-
Congressman T. e. Tarsney, Justin
Whiting, Democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor, and George w. Moore.
Mrs. Justin Whiting accompanied the
committee, being an old friend OF Mrs.
Bryan.
At Ironwood a large crowd was IN
waiting to see and hear Mr. Bryan
1t was composed for the great part OF
miners. who gave him an enthusiastic
welcome. He spoke from gally
decorated platform erected few hum
dred yards from the train, making ex-
PLANTATION of the statement that unoef
the gold standard dollar would rise
in value and property fall in proportion
to that rise.
Fifteen miutes later Bryan addressed
a. large crowd at Bessemer. He ridi-
culed the idea of flood of money ad-
vanced by the supporters of gold. Con-
tinuing, he said: "If we are simply go
ing to petition foreign nations to assist
us, every Republican meeting should
be provided with petition blanks. SO that
people who attend can sign the petition
asking foreign nations to please be
good to the United States and give US
what they think we ought to have. Ii
we lecet men to do what we want them
to do in this country. and they do not do
It, we can turn them out and elect some
body who will; but, my friends. If we
transfer legislative powers to other ma
tions we are helpless to protect our
selves, and must submit to whatever
they give u.s."
At Waters Meet, which was reached
soon after II o'clock, Bryan spoke in
conversational tone from the rear plat
form to few hundred enthusiastic lis
. teners. Some one shouted: "The ma
tional bank system is what the people
of this place are interested in"
Mr.. Bryan-"The difference between
our plan end the national bank plan Is
this: We have greenbacks out now, and
those greenbacks draw no interest, and
the government pays none. When you
retire those greenbacks with an issue
of bonds, and then let the banks issue
money on the bonds, the banks will then
draw from the people of the country in
terest which the people now have. It is
good for the banks, but hard on the peo-
pie"
"Our Maker first, William ]. Bryan
next and free silver" was the saluta-
ton of an enthusiastic individual at Iron
River, and it was heartily applauded.
The train stopped five minutes there.
Bryan talked the full limit of time.
While he was applauded frequently,
some gathered around the train wear
ing gold badges. and attempted to boot
the candidate, but were quickly silenced.
There was shot made into Wisconsin
at Florence, and the residents of that
town in the Badger state turned out
in force to see and hear the nominee.
The adherents of the white metal were
demonstrative and so were the follow
ers of the yellow. After Mr.. Bryan
had finished his speech and his admir-
ers had stopped cheering and applaud
ing, three cheers were given for the
Republican nominee.
In part Mr. Bryan said: 1--WE have
been trying the gold standard for twenty
years, and if there is anybody who be-
lieves that 1t has been success and that
we ought to maintain it because it has
been a success that person has not had
much influence in national conventions,
because in all the time we have had the
gold standard in this country not sin
gle party has ever declared that the
single standard has been O. success"
The biggest crowd of the day up to
that time was encountered at Iron
Mountain. Apparently it was most
unanimous silver aggregation. Mr..
Bryan said in part: you say that a
dollar rising in value every day is a
good thing for the farmer because when
he gets dollar 1t will be good dollar?
Put the emphasis on the 'when." vtxS
say it is good thing for the laboring
man to be paid with dollars that will
buy great deal. Remember that the
labpring man is interested in getting q
chance to work before hs Ii interested In
