The streets were crowded and he was given
n continual ovation from the time he left the
depot until he started to speak. Three
meetings were held here. one in the Taber-
nacle, another In historic Rouses hall to
an audience made up exclusively of trades
union men. and third in the open air on
the court house square, Thousands were
unable to gain admittance to the hall and
thousands more we're unable to get within
sound of the speakers voice at the open air
meeting. II was near IL o'clock before Mr..
Bryan finished his work and he retired at
once to his car.
At the tabernacle Mr.. Bryan said II want
to say that l condemn the disturbance at
Mr. Carlisles meeting as much as any dis
| turbance offered at any silver meeting.
Let each individual remember that no dis
grace can be heaped by him upon any other
person. man cannot be disgraced by an
other. The man disgraces himself when dis
grace comes and those who attempt to offer
| indlgnity to another injure themselves far
more than they do the object of their at
| tack. (Applause.) l know that in this cam
| paign there has been resentment by many
who in the past advocated one doctrine but
who now advocate another doctrine I know
that these changes have been made without
sufficient reason or excuse being given to
the public, but, my friends, leave these
men to history. because history Is Just. IL
they have done wrong, they shall be pun
ished. II they are right, we should not pun
ish them.
RISE IN BANK RATE,
"T want to call your attention TO another
| thing. l want to recall what you read In
! this mornings paper that the rate OF in.
| terest had been raised 1 per cent by the
Bank of England. The rate OF interest
| there now is per cent. 1t has been raised
2 per cent within six weeks. The Bank
of Germany has raised the interest rate to
| s per cent and the Bank of France has re-
fused to SELF gold. l call your attention
| to these facts because, my friends, l can
| not understand how any one could fail to
see the Significance of these things. Our
| opponents tell us that gold offers a safe
| foundation for an international monetary
| system. They tell us that gold alone is
good throughout the world. / want you
Illinois, that this rise in the rate of inter-
| est in England and in Germany and the
action of the French bank, all these
things indicate, think conclusively prove,
thai that the, the stock Of gold throughout
nations Of the world are grabbing to get
! their share. What has created this special
| demand 1t would not do to have another
bond issue in the United States during this
campaign. 1t has been decided that another
which they could not afford to risk, and
therefore the fnanciers of New York went
to work to supply the treasury with gold
to tide 1t over the campaign, and when they
found 1t was difficult they appealed to for.
| eign fnanciers, who were interested in fas
tening the gold standard permanently upor
the American people. and these financier,
aided in the plan, and as gold left Europe
and gold came to us from England the peo
pie there began to feel the effect of It,
departure the Bank of England raised tn,
price and stopped the flow of gold to tn,
United States and Germany had to protec
herself. and France had to protect herself
And thus, my friends, this one little agita
tion proved to the people Of the world thai
so long as gold was our money there mus
be constant agitation, constant peril to oui
commercial fabric, as the gold comes from
one to another"
In two speeches which followed the taber
nacle speech Mr.. Bryan discussed the silver
doctrine along the same general lines as
pursued by him in other places.
LEADERS SWELL THE HOSTS.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 23.-what l.
considered the battle ground of the cam
paign by that portion of the democracy a
present aboard the private car "Idler" wa:
entered by the nominee this morning. I'LL
nois has been looked forward to and IL has
up the best fight he had about him wher
the prairie state was reached. Eighteen
places were put down on the itinerary fol
today.
The Illinois democratic politicians met
Mr. Bryan last night at Terre Haute and
today conducted him through Illinois. In
the party were Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioner w. S. Cantrell. who took
charge of the train: Theodore Nelson, Judge
William Prentss OF Chicago, Judge John A.
Mahoney. Judge Charles ShaclSleford, Fred
H. Morris of Watseka. l.. o. Whitney and J.
M. Graham of Springfield and Senator David
Evans.
Danville was the first stop of the morning
and from stand near the court house Mr.
Bryan spoke to an assemblage which num-
bered up in the thousands. A twenty
minute stop was made at Paris and here Mr.
Bryan condemned the money changers to the
great delight of a few thousand people
among whom were many farmers.
1t remained for the little town of Charles
ton to originate conveyance different from
any found anywhere to take Mr.. Bryan to
the grounds where he was to speak. gajly
decorated platform was provided and placed
on wheels and after Mr.. Bryan and his party
had assembled 1t 200 strong and willing hands
wheeled II to vacant lot, where the. nom-
inee addressed large crowd of demonstra-
tive farmers. He spoke for a quarter of an
hour and his utterances were cheered and
applauded repeatedly.
At Sullivan thousands OF people cheered
Mr.. Bryan and when he mentioned the name
OF John p. Altgeld they took occasion to

bowling, shouting. cheering crowd well
coined the triple nominee to Decatur where
he was down for two speeches and an hour 4
stop When the train pulled into the depot
great crowd surrounded the car, and Il
was with difficulty that Mr.. Bryan reached
the conveyance which was to take him to
tho place of speaking. Here the enter
prislng committee went the Charleston COM
mittee one better. and instead of having
the ordinary vehicle motorcycle was
brought into use. and the candidate was
conveyed in this horseless carriage The
crowd was the feature. II was crush
| from the start to the finish, and when the
platform at the court house square was
reached 1t was impossible for the nominee
to gain 1t. While the crowd was not so
large as at many places the crush was the
worst experienced for many q day. The
other carriages could not get within 100
feet OF that occupied by Mr.. Bryan. and
the crowd OF shorthand men with the
| party and for the local papers could not
| get near enough to report the speech.
At the second speech 1t was but repe-
tltion The candidate did not dare to leave
the vehicle and the few policemen were
| powerless. The return to the depot was a
| continuous ovation and 1t was hard to keep
the excited admirers OF the nominee from
| doing bodily harm In their desire to show
their affection.
Sullivan was one OF the places not down
| ON the list and was thrown In Just for good
| measure. There was a large crowd OF re-
