Richmond, Ind, oct. H.-Mr. Bryan
reached Richmond at 10 o'clock this MORN
ing and began his Indiana campaign there.
He spoke at 1 o'clock this morning to a
very large and enthusiastic crowd at Tiff
fin, o., and this morning at 2;30 o'clock
was awakened by brass band and a lot
of enthusiasts at Upton. Mr.. Bryans
special train lay until 7;S0 ocloclx in the
railroad yards at Urbana. The first stop
after leaving there was at Bradford June
tion. o., reached at o'clock, but Mr.
Bryan was so much fatigued after his
hard day and harder night Of campaigning
that he was not awakened to meet the
couple of hundred people there. They
were entertained instead by John w. Tom
linson OF Alabama. who is accompanying
Mr. Bryan.
At Greenvile, where the Ohio campaign
was ended, Mr.. Bryan spoke for fifteen
minutes to about 1000 people.
Mr. Bryan had an audience Of 6,a0O or
1000 people at the first meeting in Rich
mond, which took place in Glen Miller
park. The air was keen, and only those
in the audience whose political sympa-
thies allowed them to enthuse were able
to keep warm.
Mr.. Bryan, in his speech, quoted
speech made by Oliver p Morton, in the
United States Senate, in the Forty-sec-
ond congress- and concerning it, said.
There Senator Morton was declaring
against the policy of con-
traction, and we to-day are declaring
against the same policy of contraction.
There he was asserting that an increase
in the supply of money would bring pros
perity and progress and enterprise, and
we assert the same thing to-day. We as
sert that an Increase in the supply OF
money win reverse the grinding condi-
tons under which we have suffered for
the past few years, and the position
which we take must be approved by any
person who will study the money ques-
tion without putting into his eyes enough
gold to blind the proof"
About 1900 people were at the Richmond
meeting, which was addressed by Mr.
Bryan from the balcony of the Hotel
Westcott. SO numerous were the yellow
badges in that audience that the candi-
date had something to say about them.
ANY person." he said, who has an
opinion ought to have reason to base 1t
on. I want to speak to those who by
wearing yellow badges, Indicate their
support of republican ideas, either one or
two things. If the republican party be-
lieves that the gold standard is a good
n rrflaaF ,I,Fs
can party always talks about
sound money instead of a
gold standard? Why do they use
ambiguous phrases to conceal their mean
ing? l assert that If the republican par
ty thought the gold standard was good,
they would not attempt to deceive people
by using sound money but they would
say gold and the world would know
that they meant gold. (Cheers)
Mr. Bryan had some things to say about
people who wore the orange in PRACTICAL
ly the same language used by him at
other places where counter-d -demonstra-
tions were attempted. At Cambridge
City Mr.. Bryan made a speech to about
1000 people.
Muncie, Ind, Oct FLA magnificent
demonstration was given Mr.. Bryan at
Rushville. 1t was hard to estimate the

between 1900 and 1900 is a reasonable
calculation. Mr.. Bryan's remarks were
vigorously cheered. He brought out no
new features in his speech.
Newcastle, reached more than an hour
behind schedule time furnished an au-
dience Of between 1900 and 5000, to which
Mr.. Bryan made a few remarks. As at
Richmond and several places In Ohio
during yesterdays trip, he was confronted
by many Mckinley badges, but those who
wore pictures Of Bryan on their hats and
Bryan ribbons on their coats, seemingly
outnumbered their opposing fellow towns
men. Mr.. Bryan referred to the trip Gen.
Harrison Is making through Indiana, and
added these words: ''Ex-President Har-
rison was elected to the
Presidency on patfrom that
denounced Mr.. Clevelands administra-
tion on the ground that he had tried to
demonetize silver, but the ex-President
to-day is stumping this state trying to
get the republicans to endorse Mr.. Cleve-
lands financial policy. His policy during
the last administration was worse on the
money question than during the first ad-
ministratlon, but such a change has come
over the republican leaders that they
want US to-day to submit to a policy
which they denounced eight years ago.
But / say to you, my friends, that the
only reason for this change Is that the
money influences wrote the republican
platform and those influences are trying
to make the American people bend to a
foreign yoke and pay tribute to a foreign
despotism."
Marion, Ind, Oct. 2l.-Party feeling was
running high in Muncie when Mr.. Bryan
arrived here this afternoon William d.
Bynum had an engagement to speak late
in the day and the friends OF the WELL
known gold leader had distributed with a
lavish hand thousands % orsnse-eolCred
badges inscribed with the names OF Nc
Kinley and Hobart. Most Of the Bryan ad-
herents, TO the number Of 6,O00 were gath
cred at the ball park awaiting his coming,
but the streets were crowded with Nc
Kinley people, male and female.
There had been rumors that questions
would be asked Mr.. Bryan at the park
and that trouble was feared between the
opposing factions was evident from the
fact that hundreds OF men, whether wear
ing gold or silver badges, were around with
big clubs. A bowling crowd Of Bryan en-
thusiasts followed close behind the can
didates four-in-hand as II was driven
through the streets. followed by another
