Neenah, Wis, Oct. SO.-Mr. Bryan
began his Wisconsin campaign this
morning at Green Bay, where he arriv-
ed at $3.50 o'clock, spending three hours
In his special cac on siding near that
place. No incidents occurred on the
night run from Chicago. Between 5000
and 5000 people braved the chill morn
ing air and stood around the temporary
platform in Whitney park to hear Mr.
Bryan. Gold bugs" We're quite prom
inent in the streets of the town and
cheers for Mckinley were heard.
At first the audience was like the
atmosphere, but it warmed up as Mr.
Bryan proceeded and became exceed
ingly enthusiastic. Green Bay was the
home of Senator Hope, and apropos of
his views on the income tax back in the
70's Mr.. Bryan talked about that feat
ure of the Chicago platform, holding
that only the people with large in
comes were against it's enactment.
Governor Peck joined Mr.. Bryan at
Green Bay, and will accompany him
through the state.
Ten minutes at Lapere were devoted
to telling 1000 people something about
the money question. Kaukakauna
came next, and a ten minute speech
was made by the candidate. His au-
dience numbered two or three thousand
and to it Mr.. Bryan said in part:
Yesterdays evening paper announc-
ed there should be furry in Wall
street, and money was loaning on call
as high as 100 per cent. What har-
vest these people who have money and
out Of this little embarrassment. How
long do you suppose you will have
to wait before these people, whenever
there is a little embarrassment like
this, can charge higher rate Of inter-
est; how long do you think you will
have to wait before these men will join
in a crusade to have money enough In
this country to do business with. You
might Just as well expect fox to stand
guard over chicken house as to ex-
pect them to do it,"
About 5000 people composed the
gathering that greeted Mr.. Bryan at
entkr siasm.
The neighboring towns Of Neenah and
Menasha held joint demonstration in
honor of the democratic candidate at.
the latter place. Gold badges We're,
again in evidence among the 1000 peo-
pie whom Mr.. Bryan addressed
II notice." he said. "a banner in your
meeting here which has something on it
about the independence Of 1776 and 1895.
There is a similarity between those two
campaigns. There were those then who
insisted that the colonies ought to be
free and independent and there were
those then who insisted that we ought
to stand under the political dominion of
Great Britain. There were those then
who were so tied to foreign interests,
who were the agents Of foreign houses,
and those were advocating English in
terests on American soil just as to-day
the representatives of foreign houses
are advocating foreign interests on
American soil in this campaign.
History teaches us that, when the
fight was over in 1776 and independence
had been declared, the people of this
country did not erect any monuments
to commemorate the memories of those
who sympathized with the foreign in
f1uences. And when this struggle is
over, and the people have reclared the
right of this nation to have it's own
financial policy, ! don't think any mon
uments will be erected to the memories
of those who are trying to fasten for
eign financial policy upon the Ameri-
can people" (Cheers.)
With fifteen thousand expectant faces
gazing at him as he stood on the rear
platform of the "Tdler," Mr.. Bryan
made speech at Oshkosh that brought
considerable warmth of feeling from
his supporters. A fair amount of en-
thusiasm was shown. Mr.. Bryan said,
in part:
"If you think it Is a good thing to
have scarce money you had better read
the dispatches from New York city,
where you will find that money was
drawing a hundred per cent. on call
yesterday. They said money was
scarce down there, and yet these are
the very people who tell you that we
have all the money we need. When
money is plentiful 1t cannot draw one
hundred per cent. interest, and when
the people who have money can loan it
in hard times for one hundred per cent.
they are not apt to join in any move
ment which means more money in the
country and less possibility to trespass
upon the rights of Others"
A number of prominent Wisconsin
politicians joined Mr. Bryan at points
along his route Some of them were
w. c. Silverthorne, democratic nominee
for governor; 7. B. Lamoreaux, COM
missioner of the federal land office, and
ex-Congressman Miller. Clinton Bah
bitt, also an ex-congressman, accom-
panied the party from Chicago.
Madison, Wis, Oct 30.-General
Bragg, leader of the gold democrats in
Wisconsin, resides at Fon du Lac. and
apropos Of that fact Mr. Bryan had
something to say of the gold movement
to nearly 10000 of General Bragg's fell
low townsmen. Few orange ribbons
were seen in the big audience Consid-
erable enthusiasm was manifested and
Mr.. Bryan warmed UP in his talk He
spoke of the futile efforts of Mr.. Whit
ney and others to carry the Chicago
convention against silver.
A short stop at Oakf1eld was utilized
by Mr. Bryan in shaking hands with a
crowd.
