dressed by Mr.. Bryan in North Dakota.
South Dakota and parts of this state
last week We're not to be seen in the
audience of 5000 people addressed by
him at st. Cloud, the little numbering
center on the banks of the Mississippi.
The sun shone strong and bright and
not a cloud was in the sky. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan with their travelling party
We're taken into the town to a park,
where the people We're gathered. The
candidate was received with enthuS-
iasm, when w. +. Remer, one of the
delegates to the Chicago convention in
troduced him.
Mr.. Bryan spoke of the Importance of
the money question and said that this
campaign had witnessed such revOlu-
ton in politics as had not been seen
since the years just preceding the war.
He continued:
think Prince Bismarck, year ago,
gave expression TO a very important sem
tment. Speaking to the farmers of Ger
many he said: "The farmers must stand
together and protect themselves from tho
drones of society who produce nothing but
laws" You divide society into two
classes, On the one side put the producer
of wealth and on the other side put the
non-producer and you will find that the
non-producers produce more laws in this
country than the producers of wealth. Gap
plause) There is such thing as a legis-
lative plow. The Legislative plow runs
deeper, turns out more ground, Is operated
at less expense ana raises crops, less in
jured by flood and drought than any other
plow that was ever put into the ground.
Uaughter.) Just as long as the tinanciers
are allowed TO run the legislative plow.
while you keep at work following the old
mie-board, you will never meet them at
the summer resorts. My friends, the sue
cess of the Chicago ticket does not injure
the man who wants "a chance to earn his
living, 1t simply Injuries the occupation of
those who want to monopolize the Oppor-
tunities for livelihood and prevent Others
from enjoying the blessings that follow
from American industry. (Applause)
CHEER FOR ENGLAND.
While discussing the financial policy
of this country, Mr.. Bryan was inter-
rupted by a man in the crowd who
shouted "Hurrah for England" Mr.
Bryan quickly added: "There is the
morning" daughter and applause.
and a voice "let us have a magnifying
glass SO we can find him."D
well, / am glad that there are a few
of them left because you know there is
a curiosity that must always be salts
fed and the men who stand on the
Republican platform are getting to be
so few that they will draw a high price
when they are wanted for the museum
ll.duSItGT anu CIeeTSD.
Mr.. Bryan spoke of the necessity Of
having "a congress that would send a
free silver bill to the president and
commended Congressman Towne as be-
ing safe man to send to congress.
Congressman Towne followed Mr..
Bryan briefly and on the conclusion,
the whole party returned to the special
train which pulled out at 1l.O5. The
stop in st. Cloud lasted fifty minutes.
At Rice's there was a hard working
brass band and good sized crowd and
Mr.. Bryan spoke again.
Fifteen minutes We're spent by Mr.
Bryan at Little Falls. 1t was exactly
noon when the train came to a stand
still hundred feet from temporary
stand about which u thousand people
and numerous vehicles gathered. Judge
Shaw, Il local man. presented Mr.. Bry-
an. who spoke until the warning whis-
tie blew from the locomotive.
FIVE MORE SPEECHES.
Duluth. Mimi, Oct. 13.--Five stops
were made by the Bryan special be-
tween Little Falls and Duluth and five
more speeches We're added to the sew
eral hundred the Democratic candidate
has made in the campaign. For the
size and of the places where the train
halted. the crowds that turned out to
see Mr.. Bryan We're of fair propor-
tons. That at Staples numbered 800;
at Brainard, 1000; at Aitken, $40;
Carleton, 800. and West Superior, TO-
0cO. No stop was made at Motley, but
the train was slowed down to enable
about hundred people at the station
there to see the nominee and Mrs.
Bryan. Mckinley badges OF yellow

places. particularly so at Brainerd,
and Mr.. Bryan made some comments
on their use.

West Superior. Wis, turned out the
biggest crowd of the day. 1t num-
bered in the neighborhood Of 5000 peo-
pie, and the throng was so thick about
the stand from which Mr.. Bryan spoke
that the greatest physical force on the
part of the police was necessary to get
the candidate and his wife through.
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking some
body shouted: How about Sickles,"
referring to General Daniel Sickels, Of
New York, who bolted the Tammany
endorsement of Bryan and Sewall and
recently made a speech at Duluth in
favor of Mckinley. For every soldier
we lose" responded Mr.. Bryan, I'VE
gain a dOzen." Cheers from the crowd
followed.
