lam j. Bryan reached the Northwestern
station here at l1:1O this morning and
was met by Ex-Governor Peck and VIII
lis c. Silverthorn. Democratic candi-
date for governor OF Wisconsin Owing
tc good police arrangements, the crowd
gathered at the station was prevented
fIom rushing on the platform, as at
other places visited by the candidate,
and Mr.. Bryan, leaning on the arm of
Ex-Governor Peck. had a, clear space
70 his carriage. Chairman James w.
Murphy, United States collector of in
ter7lal revenue for the eastern district
of Wisconsin, and the oCher members
of the Milwaukee escort committee,
who had met Mr.. Bryan at Kenosht,
fell in behind and entered the carriages
reserved for them. The crowd at the
station numbered several thousand and
Mr.. Bryan was cheered in his passage
along the platform. The route by
which he was taken to the Plankinton
hotel was lined with people, and there
was occasional applause, which grew
10 an almost continuous cheer as the
Plankinton was approached. The
street in front OF the Plankinton was
packed with people, and when Mr..
Bryan appeared on the balcony they
manifested their feelings in loud yells.
Mr.. Bryan made a few remarks, and
was frequently interrupted by cries of
approval Afterwards he held a brief
reception in the parlors Of the hotel.
a rain storm had a bad effect on
the meeting addressed by Mr.. Bryan at
National park this afternoon. A tenn
poraFy stand had been erected in the
center OF the half mile race track with
in the park, and at 2:4G o'clock, when
Mr.. Bryan arrived at the ground, two
and a half miles from Milwaukee, about
5000 people were gathered about it.
Many people had left when the rain
began TO fall and those who remained
hoisfed umbrellas and decided TO stick
it out
THE SUN CAME OUT.
The rain became a steady downpour
just as thc meeting was called to or
der. and the intended preliminary ex-
ercises were cut short In fact there
was nothing Of 2 PREDATORY character
done beyond the presentation of Mr.
Bryan by Judge SilVerthoTn. the Dem
ocTatic nominee for governor. He sim
ply presented the young Nebraskan as
the next president of the United States
and the wet, uncomfortable locking
crowd cheered as the latter rose to ad-
local committeeman holding an umbrel-
ia over his head. Mr.. Bryan addressed
the gathering. lie spoke more rapidly
than usual and said at the outset that
he would not make q long address on
account Of the condition OF the wea-
ther, but when the clouds broke and
/ the sun came out, Mr.. Bryan was en-
couraged to go on and spoke more than
an hour. he said:
q eaC Il
ken under vaTZoIs conditions. but I
don't believe L ever spoke in the rain
before to people who were he'd by mere
idle curiosity. Naughrer) 1 am not
going 20 talk long, because 1t would be
cruel 10 you TO have to stand out here
in this rain, but I ann going to talk
just enough to keep my engagement
and hope the weather will be better to-
night.
1--WE are engaged IN a campadyn in
which you are interested, because if
the money question is of such great
Importance that the ffnanciecs feel JUS
t1fied in laying aside all party lines to
look al what they consider their inter
est, then 1 believe the masses Of the
people are interested enough to Law
aside party lines and look after their
interest. Great applause) The Repub-
lican platform declares the American
peopae must stand by and undergo a
gold standard until the civilized ma
Iipns
TAKE PITY ON US
and release US from our sufferings.
There are people who are afraid this
nation is not large enough TO run itself.
But the people who lack confidence in
American institutions are not the peo-
pie who produce the wealth of America.
If the gold standard is a. good thing.
why diI the Republican party pledge
itself to get rid of st? Is there any
thing too good for the American peo-
ple2 If the gold standard is good. the
Republican party ought to pledge it
self to keep it regardless of what other
nations say or ChSnk, If the gold stand
aH11 is not good enough TO keep. it is
bad enough TO get rid Of. and we ought
TO do it without waiting for anybody
else's help. No man can say the gold
standard IS a good thing and stand on
the Republican platform. II he says
the gold standard is a bad thing then
he must put hinaself in the attitude OF
making this nation dependent on for
Hgn nations, or else come into our fold
