Fond du Lac, Wis, Oct. 30.-Mr.
BRYAN began his Wisconsin campaign
this morning at Green Bay, where ne
arrived at $50 o'clock, spending three
hours in his special car on siding
near that place. No incidents occurred
on the night run from Chicago. BE
tween six and eight thousand people
braved the raw morning air that came
with chilling force across the breadth
of Lake Michigan and stood around
the temporary platform In whitney
Park to hear Mr.. Bryan. Gold bugs
We're quite prominent on the streets OF
the town, and cheers for Mckinney
were heard At first the audience was
like the atmosphere. but 1t warmed up
as Mr.. Bryan proceeded, and became
exceedingly enthusiastic. Mr.. Brvan
talked about the income tax feature ol
the Chicago platform. holding that oniy
the people with large incomes were
against its enactment. Governor PecK
ioined Mr.. Bryan at Green Bay. and
will accompany him through the state:
Ten minutes at Laoere were devoted
to telling a couple of thousand people

utes' sneech was made by the candi-
date. His audience numbered two or
three thousand, and to 1t Mr.. Bryan
said in part:
Yesterday evenings papers announces
that there had been hurry III wan
street and that money was ioahinE on
call as high as a hundred per cent. Nnlt
a harvest these people who have money
and who can make hundred per cent
get out of this little embarraSsment.
How long do you suppose you viii nave
10 wait before these men Will join IN a
crusade to have money enough in TINS
country to do business with? You might
just as well expect fox to stand quart
over chicken house as to expect them
to DO it.
About six thousand people composed
the gathering that greeted Mr.. Bryan
at Appleton. They showed consider
able enthusiasm.
SPEECH AT MENASHA.
The neighhoring towns of Neenah
and Menasha held q joint demontsra-
tion in honor of the Democratic candi-
date At the latter place gold badges
were again in evidence among the 1000
people whom Mr.. Bryan addressed. He
said:
notice a banner In your meeting here
which has something on it about the in
dependence of 11I6 and 1896. There Is
similarity between those two canpalsns.
There were those then who insisted tnat
these colonies ought TO be free and lnde-
pendent, and there were those VINO m
sisted that we ought to stand under the
political dominion of Great Britain. There
were those then who were so tied to for-
cign interests who were the agents of Or
pign houses and those We're advocating
English interests on American soil just
as today the representatives of foreign
houses are advocating foreign interests
on American soil in this campaign. His
tory teaches us that when the fight was
over in 'I6 and Independence had been
declared the people of this country did
a monuments "A I "a
the memories of those who sympathaed
with the foreign influences. And when
this struggle is over, and the people have
declared the right of this nation to have
It's own financial policy, l do not think
any monuments will be erected to the
memories of those who are trying to fasten
foreign financial policy upon the Amer
lean people. Cheers.
OSHKOSH ENTHUSIASM.
With 1000 eXpectant faces gazing at
him as he stood on the rear platform of
THE ldlcr." Mr. Bryan made speech
at Oshkosh that brought considerable
warmth of feeling from his supporters.
n fair amount of enthusiasm was
shown. The crowd stretched more than
a hundred feet back from the car and
for greater distance on both sides
Many people wore gold badges, but
they did not attempt any counter dem
onstrations. Mr.. Bryan said, in part:
If you think II Is a good thing to have
scarce money YOU had better read the DIS
patches from New York city where you
will find that money was drawing 100 ,sar
cent. ON call yesterday. They said money
was scarce down there and yet they are
the very people who tell you that we have
all the money we need. When money Is
plentiful II cannot draw 100 per cent. in
terest and when the people who have
money can loan ii in hard times for 100
per cent they are not apt to join i'm any
movement which means more money in
the country and less possibility 10 tres

politicians joined Mr.. Bryan at points
along the route.
