MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 14.-W. ].
Bryan arrived here at o'clock tonight. He
had been travelling in Michigan, talking at
every stopping place, since in the morn,
ing.
The weather has been considerate to Will
liam j. Bryan for the last two days. Where
the candidate had reason to anticipate cold
and disagreeable travelling, he has encoun-
tered sunshine and warmth. As usual he
began work early this morning, start
ing in with his speechmaking at lronwood,
Mich, at S:45. The special car OF d. NJ.
Campau chairman of the democratic cam
paign committee, was attached to the train
at Duluth last night and the Michigan COM
mittee which escorts the nominee through
the state were aboard. Besides Mr. Cam
pau, the committee was composed of eX-Con-
gresham T. L. Tarsney, Justin r. Whiting,
democratic candidate for lieutenant gov
crnor. and George w. Moore. Mrs. Justin
Whiting accompanied the committee, she
being an old friend OF Mrs. Bryan, At Iron,
wood large crowd was in waiting to sec
and hear Mr. Bryan. 1t was composed for
a great part of miners and when he emerged
FROM the car they gave him an enthusiastic
welcome. He spoke from gaily decorated
the train and for the most part his speech
was a staten ent that under n gold stand
ard dollar would rise in value
and property would fall in proportion. Fiji
teen minutes later Mr.. Bryan addressed a
similar crowd at Bessemer, both in numbers
and enthusiasm. In his speech Mr.. Bryan
ridiculed the flood of money idea advanced
by the supporters s. the gold standard, say
ing that he was not afraid of a flood of
money and those who were apparently fear
ion NNssapn .nn n=n
who did not save money enough to provide
for the winters supplies and pay their debts.
ALL DEPENDS ON NUMBER.
At Watersmeet, soon after IL o'clock, Mr..
BRYAN spoke Ia S7-g1hversational tone from
the rear platform tua few hundred enthusi-
astic listeners. ,qHe said: In studying the
money question Lhepe is one thing that you
must learn beEorer anything else can be
learned, and that Isl that you can affect the
value of the dollar when you affect the num-
ber of dollars"
A voice: "The national bank system is
what the people OF this place are interested
in" j1Jl =
"The difference between our plan and the
national bank plan,i Is this: We have green
backs out now, and these greenbacks draw
no interest and the government pays none.
When you retire thnse greenbacks with an
issue of bonds ppd then let the banks issue
money on the l Bouts the banks will then
draw from the people of the country the in
terest which the people now have 1t is
good for the banks but hard on the people"
"Our Maker ffsti William j. Bryan next,
and free silverFh was the salutation of an
enthusiastic ndlyiAual at Iron River when
the engine pulling the special car arrived
at that place, and the enthusiastic indiyid-
Ual's declaration WAS appauded heartily.
The train stopped FIVE minutes there, and
Mr.. Bryan talked the full limit OF time,
While he was applauded frequently. there

At the station of Norway several hunderd
people were about the depot and cheered
