ALONG THE ROUTE,
The Enthusiasm Grows Greater as thu
Days Pass.

! NORTH VERNON, Ind, Oct. 3.-Mr.
Bryan's arrival in Indiana and Illino...
called forth the same hearty welcon.,
that has characterized each visit he
has made to what is considered by many
as the battle ground of the campaign.
Fourteen stops We're scheduled in these
two states today. Bryan spoke at nearly
every place, and where it was impossi-
BILE for him to speak Congressman Nc
MILAN talked for him.
Mr.. Bryan left Cincinnati on the spe-
cial car of President Peabody of the Bal
timore and Ohio. Lawrenceburg was
reached at 1856 A great crowd of en-
thusiastic people cheered Bryan, who
made a speech against he Republican
policy of waiting for ourside nations
to cooperate in the restoration Of BIZ
metallism.
AT AUGUSTA.
At Augusta there was another big
crowd waiting. Bryan said in part:
The cause we represent is not a new
one. There is nothing experimental in
the plan we propose. We are not try
ing to make the gold or silver dollar
larger or smaller. They are to remain
the same size We want simply to re-
store the policy that was the policy of
this country until silver was stricken
down in the dark without discussion.
AT OSGOOD.
Osgood turned out in force to hear the
candidate. He said: l have felt in
terested in the subject of bimetallism
for six years. Before that 1 never
thought the money question amounted
to anything. When l heard people speak
of the money power. thought they were
harmless sort of cranks, and there
was no such thing. But the more
studied the subject the more interested
l became. and the more l became con-
yinced that underlying all our difficult
ties was our financial legislation, and
that until our financial policy was taken
out of the hands of the money changers
and administered in behalf of the peo-
pie there could be no permanent pros
perity among the American people.
(Applause)
We have seen in this campaign what
the money power means. We have seen
banks attempt to intimidate people
VINO owe the banks, and we have seen
this great money power rushing out
from the great money centers of the
world and putting its hands upon our
industries and threatening to close the
doors of factories and turn men out of
employment unless all mankind will
bow down and worship the golden calf.
We have seen arrogance such as is sell
dom paralleled We have seen tyranny
not often before attempted, and when
ever the people rise to complain they
denounce them for complaining, with
out attempting to take away the cause
of complaint.
In several states Republican plat
forms have declared not only against
our cause, but against any discussion
of our cause. My friends, agitation will
continue until the people have an Amer
lean financial system suited to the needs
of the American people, (Great ap-
plause.)
AT WASHINGTON.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 3-The farmers had
evidently been congregatng at Wash
ington all day, for when the train pulled
in there was a horde of.them, and they
were as enthusiastic as they could we'll
be. Mr. Bryan. when he could obtain
order from the chaos of cheering, said
in part:
When our campaign opened our oppo-
nents thought they could ridicule us out
of existence, and then when they found
that that would not work, they began
to abuse those who favored free coin
age. They began to call them all sorts
of names, and when they were not max
ing much progress, 1 understand that
down in the state of Indiana our op-
ponents resorted to Misrepresentation.
I am informed that the Republicans
have circulated in this state an editori-
al taken from the Omaha World-Her-
aid crlticising pension appropriations
That editorial appeared in the World
Herald some two years before l had
any connection with the paper, and
those who are circulating it know that
they are circulating something which
never wrote. which was not respon-
sihle for. and was IN no manner con-
