Fargo, N. D., Oct. 10-Everythlng went
awry with William ]. Bryan last night.
In the first place 1t was after 1 O'clock
when he reached Aberdeen, S. D., three
! hours late. His eXpectant audience had
been held for all that time by word from
Mr.. Bryan that he would speak when
he got there, and the candidate found not
one only, but three gatherings to hear
him. AS a consequence. he delivered
three speeches at that early hour in the
morning, making each exceedingly brief.
1t was o'clock when Mr.. Bryan retired
to his special car and to bed, but hardly
had he entered the car when he was
awakened in order that the information
might be communicated to him that there
was no switch for the transfer of his
car to the tracks of the Great Northern
road, and If he wanted to keep his en-
gagement in Fargo this morning it would
be necessary to take the special train OF
the Fargo reception committee, then in
waiting. So the weary candidate re.
dressed and transferred his belongings
through fine cutting air of the early morn
ing in order to keep his appointments.
The candidate, obliged with a speech a
crowd Of several hundred which had
| gathered about the depot of a small sta
tion, when the train stopped for water
! He arrived here at o'clock and was taken
! to the Hotel Metropole where he break
| TASTED. He was then driven to the base
ball park and addressed a large crowd
| Enthusiastic people greeted Mr. Bryan
! at the park. On the platform was Budd
Reeve, who made an Independent demo-
| cratic campaign for congress two years
ago. At this time he Travelled through
North Dakota on horseback taking with
him collie dog and a big eagle and an
nounced that he was hunting for the dem
ocratlc party. He had the eagle along to-
day and when it stepped out on the plat.
| form from Its tin cage, Mr.. Bryan bowed
profoundly, while the crowd cheered.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by Henry r.
Miller, president of the Fargo city bank,
who was a candidate for the Senate as a
republican at the time Senator Roach was
elected. Mr.. Bryan devoted himself to a
discussion of the money question, largely
! on the lines previously taken by him in
| his speeches. In conclusion Mr.. Bryan
| said without a financial policy OF our
own, it is impossible to have any kind of
|
maintain the parity because Mexico has
/ failed to do so. (Cheers.) Is there anybody
here who thinks that Mexico is as great a
nation as the United States. (Cries of
NO" MOI If there is, he ought to
vote the republican ticket. He cannot
! find a congenial home anywhere else ex-
cept among the goldbugs. (Cheers)
! Why, my friends, this nation has ten
times the population of Mexico and In
! its commercial strength the difference is
far greater. Even If they insist that
this nation is no greater than Mexico
might it not be possible that the United
| States and Mexico could do together what
| Mexico could not do alone. (Applause)
You tell us we will approach the standard
! of Mexico IL we have free coinage. There
are other nations which have not free
| coinage, take Turkey for instance. WIN
we approach the standard OF Turkey II
| we maintain the gold Standard CAP
plause.) See what the gold standard has
done for Turkey. II / should choose be-
tween Mexico and Turkey as future
home 1 would far rather go to Mexico and
live forever than to go to Turkey and en-
joy gold"
AT II o'clock Mr.. Bryan left for St. Paul,
accompanied by the members OF the st.
| Paul reception committee.
Morris MINI, Oct. 1O.-Mr. Bryan made
his initial speech in Minnesota, at Breck-
inrldge. the first stop after leaving Fargo.
1t was reached at 1920 o'clock, and stop
| of five minutes was made.
| Mr.. Bryan talked TO a good sized crowd
there about the necessity OF every advo-
| cate of free coinage casting his ballot
AS he concluded. a man In the audience
asked: Cant you give us a word about
the plank in your platform that con-
demns the President for enforcing the
law?"
"Our platform does not complain of any
enforcement Of the law, and no man is
afraid will not enforce the law an
swered Mr.. Bryan. what they are
afraid Of is that / will enforce the law
against the big violators of the law"
AT Tintah, Mr.. Bryan was asleep and
the people there did not see him.
Several hundred men and women heard
little talk al Herman.
At stations all along the line Of Mr..
Bryans route through Minnesota large
crowds, mostly farming people, greeted
the candidate. In nearly every gathering
the Scandinavian type was noticeable. At
Morris and Litchfield the receptions given
the nominee were particularly enthuslas-
tic, several thousand people being at each
place.
Stops were also made at Benson Wilmar,
Delane and Waverly. Mr.. Bryan spoke
in the rain at the last named place from
a stand crowded with little girls who
waved little American flags and cheered
for Bryan with a will. A banner borne
by a man In the crowd contained the
words, "Our Sons VIII Answer Novem-
Der g."
Brass bands were out at several places
and anvil salutes also were fired. Al
though Mr.. Bryan was not scheduled TO
speak at Minneapolis, a couple Of thous-
and people awaited tho train in the sta
tion there and cheered like mad whom
they saw the candidate They rushed
along the tracks after the train yelling
like Comanches and demanded a speech
when the train came 10 a standstll. Mr..
Bryan told them that he would speak IN
Minneapolis Monday night, and could not
talk then. There was most wild cheering
as the train drew out for ST. Paul.
81. Paul, Oct. 1O.-Four stirring speeches
constituted Mr.. Bryan's contribution to-
night for the fight for free silver that is
