Special to the Globe.

Ing ucIHOHSlFdIlOH. Iney nave sent men
and letters all over the state to or
ganize crowds to come down here They
secured a one and a fifth fare from the
railroads, and four special trains were
run, while four regulars ran in and
out conveniently for visitors. The
whole party machinery of the state
was brought into operation in Sioux
Falls. All the people, regardless of
politics. decorated and proposed to give
the candidate sample Of Western
hospitality. The schools were dis
missed and the people turned out.
The day was a bad one. It rained
early in the morning, and. while 1t
cleared up by o'clock and the sun
came out, the weather was threaten
ing. A crowd of $4,000 people was ex-
pected. and Chairman Estabrooke, of
the state committee, placed the expect
alton at 10000. The trains brought in,
according to the report of the railroad
officials, 1,S00 people, while from 1900
to 1000 farmers drove in.
The special train with the candidate
arrived at 2, and was received with
enthusiasm. About 1000 men with a
dozen bands escorted him through the
| crowded streets to the residence of G.
A. Jewett. where dinner was served
with six invited guests. This occu-
pied three-quarters of an hour. Mean
while it had begun to rain, and the
zle at the oval grew impatient. Shortly
after o'clock the party arrived, and
Mr.. Bryan spoke for half an hour.
ON THE WAY
This evening Judge PIowman discussed the
issues for the Populists and w. F. Gurley for
the Republicans. Altogether the Populists
are very happy over the demonstration ex-
eept the Jewett dinner, which they regard
a great mistake.
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Sioux Falls about
O'Clock. The party which left Marshalltown
last night arrived at Sioux City, To-, this
morning an hour behind schedule time. The
fact that the train was late caused by
the numerous demands Of the people at the
stations along the line to see the candidate.
Mr.. Bryan arose about o'clock, but nearly
all night crowds gathered at the stations To
see the train pass. through. and, If possible,
see the candidate. At some of the stations
where the train stopped, the people went so
far as to put their heads in the window and
cheer for Bryan. At Onawa, in Monona
the train stopped for about 10 minutes, and
Mr.. Bryan went out on the rear platform
and addressed the people. 1t was bitterly
cold and strong south wind blew directly
into the speakers face When the train ar
rived in Sioux City the candidate was
greeted by large crowd at the depot and
union depot. where he spoke for thirty
minutes. 1t was enthusiastic reception,
and seemed to please Mr.. Bryan After the
speech he was driven directly to the Milwau-
kee depot where special train was wait
ing to take the party to Sioux Falls.
There was dodge made into South Da-
kota at Elk Point. and while there was
nothing in sight but fields of corn, several
hundred farmers were waiting for the arrival
Of the candidate. and to these he spoke for
two minutes. He told the people that while
TWO minutes was a short time to make a
Tree silver argument, 1t would not be too
short a time there. because the farmers had
an ,t experience RE which would be argument
enough for them. Jump was then taken
back into Iowa at HawarGen and here the
farmers surrounding the car showed more
enthusiasm than at any place on the West
ern trip. There were not SO many OF them
out those who were there yelled, and then
yelled and shouted. Mr.. Bryan made a short
ADDRESS. telling the people that they could
make more effective speech in five minutes
on election day than he could in five minutes
today. Canton, 8. D., was the next stopping
place. and in the five minutes there Mr.
bryan spoke briefly to a crowd of farmers
who heard him with attention and applauded
him with yigor. Sioux Falls was the next
stop.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was devoted
mainly to generating Senator Petit
grew from the charge of disloyalty to
the Republican party. He said:
All things considered this is one of the
most remarkable meetings which n has bean
my privilege to address during this campaign
I am glad to come to this city because in
coming 1t gives me a chance to say a word
DEFENSE OF SENATOR PETTIGREw
among his own people. My friends. there
are times, there are occasions. which try
mems souls. believe that Senator Petit
grew did the manly thing and the cour-
ageous thing when he determined to protect
the interests of the people in this state in
stead Of bowling under the yoke of the gold
standard 1t was the people in the state
whom he represented and he could not obtain
the consent of his judgment and his con-
science to surrender the interests of the
people Of this state merely because the Re-
publican party had gone back on it's record
and turned itself from the people to the
Wall street financiers.
Down East the gold Democrats. no matter
how high they may have stcod in the party
service, no matter how much they have been
honored by the Democrats, have not hesitat-
ed to leave the Democratic party the mo-
ment the Democratic party made a deter
mined assault upon the great trusts and
synd1cates and corporation interests. They
have been supporting them for private gain
and II those Democrats who have received
much at the hands Of the Democratic partv
can abandon the Democratic party in this
great fight for the common people of this
country, the Western Republicans are iusti-
fed in coming to your aid and filling up the
ranks which have been depleted by those Dem
ocrats who left us.
My friends. we have been willing to fight
this issue on the money question but when
they found that we were they were not nre
pared to. meet our arguments on the money
question, they tried to raise other questions
and have even asserted that law and order
would be menaced under the success of the
Chicago ticket.
I find that about the only people who are
fearful that II elected. I shall not enforce
the law. are the people who have profited In
the past by lax enforcement Of the law. find
that the people who are so afraid that the
law will not be INDICATED if 7 am elootad
are the very men who will suffer most If the
laws OF this country are enforced WHY -
they say ''look at the flnanciers look at our
business men. look at those who have great
property interests. thev are all against wont
How can you VIM" Why. my friends. will
tell you how We can succeed Money talks
but money don't vote. They tell us that we
cannot succeed because some OF the great
newspapers are against US. Why my friends
editors only vote once. have known some
who, because Of the mortgages on their plants,
were not able to control their votes We
would like to have all the newspapers on our
side, but. my friends. we would rather have
the people with us than the neyspapers and
we have reached a point where 1t is almost
as true as some one has said that there ia
nobody on our side but the people When 7

glad. because If they don't elect us they
won't own me after my election.
am glad to have the bond syndjcate
against me, because when am elected thew
will not come down and try to get me to sell
bonds to them at 1041a. when they are worth

The Democrats who have left the party have
been dragged out OF the party by great cor
porate interests that run them, my friends
When they tell you that they left the Dem
ocratic party for their country's good Won
