his arrival at Marquette this evening
Mr.. Bryan completed his first day Of
campaigning in Michigan. The recep-
ton accorded him along the line was
various. At some places he was warmly
received, and at others the crowds were
not at all enthusiastic. Early in the
day the weather was warm and pleas
ant, but later turned off cold and dis
agreeable. The most important and
enthusiastic meeting of the day was
at this city. Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by James RUSSELL editor of the Mining
Journal, and spoke for a few minutes,
his address containing nothing not al
ready embodied in some of his earlier
speeches.
Mr.. Bryan entered Michigan early
this morning. The weather has been
considerable to him for the last two
days. Where the candidate had rea-
son to anticipate cold and disagree

shine and warmth. AS usual, he be-
gan work early this morning, starting
in with his speech making at Iron
wood at S:45 The special car Of D.
M. Campau,A chairman Of the Demo-
cratic campaign committee, was at
tached to the train at Duluth last
night, and the Michigan committee
which escorts the nominee through
the state was aboard Besides Mr.
Campau, the committee was composed
of ex-Congressman T. E. Tarsney,
Justice Whiting. Democratic candidate
for lieutenant governor, and George
w. Moore. Mrs. Justice Whiting ac-
companied the committee, she being an
old friend of Mrs. Bryan.
At IronWood a large crowd was in
waiting to see and hear Mr.. Bryan.
1t was composed for a great part of
miners. and when he emerged from the
car they gave him an enthusiastic
welcome. He spoke from a gaily-dec
Grated platform. erected a few hun
dred yards from the train, and for the
most part his speech dwelt on an ex-
PLANTATION of the statement that under
a gold standard the dollar would rise
in value and property would fall in
proportion to that rise -
Fifteen minutes later Mr.. Bryan ad-
dressed a similar crowd at BeSserner,
both in numbers and enthusiasm. In
his speech Mr.. Bryan ridiculed the
flood of money idea, advanced by the
supporters of the gold standard, say
ing that he was not afraid of flood
of money, and that those who We're
apparently fearful of such a condition
were generally those who did not have
money enough to provide for the win

consin at Florence, and the residents
of that town in the Badger state
turned out in force to see and hear the
nominee. The adherents of the white
metal were demonstrative. and SO were
the followers Of the yellow. After
Mr.. Bryan had concluded his speech
and his admirers had finished cheering
and applauding, three cheers were
given for the Republican nominee.
The biggest crowd of the day up to
that time was encountered at Iron
Mountain. Apparently 1t was the
most unanimous silver aggregation. At
the little station Of Norway several
hundred people were about the depot
and cheered the nominee when his
train arrived there. The usual crowds
which assemble about the rear end Of
the platform at small country. town
greeted the candidate at Powers.

the bright sunshine of the day had
changed to the bleak, cold wind which
was to be expected in the Northern
Peninsula. This however, did not de-
ter large crowd from being present
around the stand built within hun

apparently did not chill the enthusi-
asm of those assembled. Here Mr.
Bryan was presented with a badge of
national colors, surnounted by crown
of silver, from citizen who expressed
himself as being "for Bryan now, for
Mckinley in 1890" Mr.. Bryan said in
part:

Ishpeming when the Bryan party ar

to listen to the candidate, but it was
not enthusiastic. His speech was APP

concluded his address, and Timothy
Tarsney had been speaking few min

Tarsney, who stood Immediately in
front Of Mr.. Bryan, turned to the nom

ticularly to him, said:
II am informed that band Is at the

people who sent them out, for. this

Those about the stand appIauded this
