DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 1~3.-Candidate
Bryan arrived here this evening, and mace
Two speeches tonight. One was to ladies
MY. in the Lyceum Theater, and the
other was delivered in a street-car barn.
AT the latter meeting he was presented
with a silver ink bottle.
Mr.. Bryan had good reason for thinking
several times to-day that he had struck
the "enemy's country" for he met with IA
severe rebuff at two or three towns in
Minnesota; and the rebuffers were not
"rah. rah! boys" either, as at Yale. They
were sturdy farmers who do not take kind

rights doctrines. Anoka was the first stop
ping place of the Bryan palace-car train
after it left Minneapolis this morning.
Very few people We're gathered there, ard
the citizens, not having paid the neces-
sary tribute to secure a speech, Mr.. Bryan
talked less than three minutes. His audi
ence was cold and irresponsive, and he
was greeted with cheers for Mckinley. AT
Elk River, however, where the people also
had refused to be bled for Popocracy's
sake, Mr.. Bryan was severely frost-pitten.
Several hundred people had assembled to
see the asitator, and nearly every one
cleered so long and loud for the Repub-
lican nominee that Mr.. Bryan's voice could

solitary Popocrat among the farmers at
the station. At least there was but one
who showed his colors. AT ST. Cloud, when

At Staples several hundred people were
assembled, and the prevalence Of yellow
badges caused Mr.. Bryan to say:
THE gold papers always say that there
were no men of prominence on the plat
form; they call attention to the absence Of
the bankers and railroad presidents. and say
that somehow these interests are against
the candidate. My friends. they overlook
the fact that u big man does not vote any
further than a little man. A big man has
only one vote, and sometimes he is SO con-
nected with business interests that he
can't control that. According to the Con-
stitution and the Declaration of 1ndeDend-
ence all men are equal. You can't judge a
cause by asking whether a mar is promi-
nent or not. Truth is truth and right is
right even If they do not have bankers and
railroad presidents on their side"
At Brainerd. a railway junction and one
was a good crowd, among which were
many Republicans. Mr.. Bryan said:
II do not find it in my heart to e]ritieise
under compulsion. These are hard times,
and they will be harder than this if the

like to risk having his job taken away. from
him because he insists upon being an Amer
lean citizen. Some one has said that a man
wears the Republican badge to save his
employment and votes for free silver to

stops were made.
The train entered Duluth at s p. m.
After dinner Mr.. Bryan was escorted TO the
Lycen,m Theater where he spoke to ladies' an3ie
could not be compared to a yardstick, as
claimed by the supporters of the. gold
which he spoke he devoted himself almost
entirely to the discussion Gus OF the ya nr,rsed
by him many times before.
At the meeting in the car barn Mr.. Bryan
said in part: 1T gives me great pleasure
gives me special pleasure to advocate our
cause among the people, who, like the
people of Minnesota have laid aside diff
ferences on minor questions and Joined in
a supreme effort to wrest this government
from the hands of those who would make
the people hewers of wood and drawers of
water. 1t gives me pleasure to defend that
