1t Is an acknowledged fact that nine
tenths of the sickness so prevalent during

Three Speeches Before o O'clock.

Petosky, Mich, Oct. 15.-Three speech
es before o'clock this morning was the
way William j. Bryan began his second
day Of Michigan campaigning. When the
train reached st. Ignace, on the straits Of
Mackinaw, at $50 a. M, he found quite a
large crowd of shivering people waiting
for him. Two bands had been secured by
the Bryan adherents in the town, and
these played heartily as the nominee ap-
peared. Although Mr.. Bryan had not
eaten his breakfast and was attired only
in night-shirt, trousers and overcoat, he
made a good speech, and was cheered
vigorously. The special train was taken
across the straits on barge and reached
Mackinaw at o'clock. Here was an
other large audience, 1000 or more, in
cluding a crowd of excursionists. Mr..
Bryan was more suitably attired for
speech-making and made a vigorous ad-
dress No less than four brass bands
were at hand, and despite the early hour,
the meeting was a great success.

FUSION I'm GEORGIA.
Proposition of the Populists Rather Stiff
Democratic Committee Called.

Proposition of the Populists Rather Stiff.
Democratic Committee Called.
Atlanta, Ca, Oct 15.-4The popuist ex-
ecutive committee for the state met here
today to discuss fusion. Tonight resolu-
tions were adopted taking down seven
electors and calling on the democrats to
take down six of theirs. This would per-
nit of fusion in which the democrats
would have seven and the populists six
electors, all of whom the populists want
pledged to vote for Bryan and Watson
The resolutions declare that 1t should be
the pleasure and pride of every Georgian
to advance Mr. Watson's interests-"a
man who Is without stain, above re-
proach, and whom all fair-minded men
esteem, respect and honor, and whose ev-
cry action in this campaign has been so
patriotic and manly as to challenge the
admiration of American manhood" Not
withstanding this, the populists announce
that it is their belief that the democratic
leaders of Georgia 'intend to defeat and
humiliate Mr.. Watson, If possible, either
by corrupt ballot or by a partisan leg
islature setting aside the will of the peo-
ple."
The democrats are given five days in
which to accept this proposition, with the
alternative that If it is rejected the popu-
list central committee shall have the au-
thority to either reinstate the seven cleo
tors VINO are Withdrawn or take uOWn
the remaining six, which would leave the
populists free to vote as they pleased.
Chairman Clay of the state democratic
party has issued call for meeting of
the executive committee on next Tues
day. Sentiment is divided on the ques-
tion Of fusion in Georgia
The electors withdrawn by the popu-
lists are: William II. FELTON,, at large; Fl.
G. Newton, Second district; Thomas B.
Davis, Fourth; w. S. Whitaker, Sixth;
]. J. Green. Eighth; William Lansdell,
Tenth; w. NJ Bennett, Eleventh.

GENERAL PALMER'S SPEECH.

General Palmer said he was proud of
the honor and privilege of speaking to
the people of Alabama. He was gratified
that in this land of liberty every man has
the right to form his own opinion; glad
that men have the right to applaud Mr..
Bryan il they choose. (Cheers and hur-
rahs for Bryan.)
"Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Mckinley are only
names representing the principles of the
two parties which they lead"
The speaker said he knew each one per-
sonally, and begged to say. without
speaking of himself, that each gentleman
before the American people for the high
honor of president and vice-president are
all gentlemen and worthy Of the support

national candidate a Big Rapids, but the
Bryan supporters in the town were not
to be outdone and they, too, had provided
for the distribution of ribbons bearing
the Nebraska mans name. White was
the color used by the silver people, so
nearly everybody in the audience of 1000
at Big Rapids had the white insignia Of
political faith.
The cheering was very hearty and Mr..
Bryan responded with a speech full of
feryor.
Again were the yellow Mckinley
badges noticeable at Howard City. where
Mr.. Bryan's audience numbered 1900. All
of the twenty minutes stop was taken up
by the candidates speech.
The 500 people gathered at Greenville
heard short speech.

encountered at Ionia, which was reached
at b17. The street leading from where
the train halted to the court house, where
Mr.. Bryan spoke, was thronged with
humanity, and when the candidate
mounted the stand erected over the court
house steps he faced a densely packed
audience of between 5000 and 10000 The
enthusiasm was rampant.
At 5:45 the Bryan special, with car
containing the Grand Rapids reception
committee attached, left Ionia for Grand
Rapids. 1t stopped on the way at Lowell
to let some people see the nominee and
shout for him, and reached Grand Rapids
at 6:45 p. m.
From the time he reached Grand Rapids
tonight until he escaped to his special
train and went to bed, William ]. Bryan
was the recipient of continuous ova-
ton. A couple of thousand people only
were at the Detroit, Grand Haven and
milwaukee station when he arrived, but
they were merely a forerunner in enthu-
slasm and numbers to the vast crowds
Mr.. Bryan encountered later An open
air meeting was scheduled at Campau
square, and it proved to be one of the
largest ever addressed by the candidate
Estimates of the number of people pres
ent run as high as $4,000. Mr.. Bryan was
well received. He was introduced by
George Hummer, democratic candidate
for congress in this district, and made a
twenty minute speech and then hurried
off TO the Powers house to address an en-
thusiastic audience almost entirely COM
pased of ladies' The women adherents of
the Bryan and Sewall ticket in Grand
Rapids had secured the opera house for
their exclusive use. From the Powers
house Mr.. Bryan went to Lockerby hall
and made his third and last speech to the
5000 demonstrative people packed, jam
med and huddled together there
Strangely enough, Mr.. Bryan's speech
to the ladies at Powers opera house was
the most important delivered here to-
night. 1t contained some new material
and was noticeable for Mr. Bryan's crit
icism of Messrs. Ingersoll, Halstead, Car
Isle and Harrison.

Gan Honest Dollar,,-le to1.

Bellair, Mich, Oct. 15.-Mr. Bryan's
third speech was made at Petoskey
where his train arrived at 1925, and made
a stop of twenty minutes. More than
1000 people were in the crowd that cheer
ed the nominee when Mr. Hampton, the
democratic candidate for congress in this
district, introduced him. A number of
men there wore badges inscribed AN
Honest Dolar," and noticing these, Mr..
Bryan said:
II want to address my remarks to those
who are wearing those badges on which
are vsitten An Honest Dollar l do not
know whether they are intended to mean
thai those who wear them are in favor of
a gold standard or free silver" Sixteen
to one" shouted some one.
Mr.. Bryan smiled and did not make
further reference to the matter.
Several hundred people at Charlevoix
heard a brief speech from "the greatest
hero of the nineteenth century," as Mr..
Bryan was called by the gentleman who
introduced him.
