ana MrS. Brydu. MChlnley pauSeS
of yellow ribbon were noticeable
at several places, particularly so
at Bralnerd. and Mr.. Bryan made some
comments on their use: Il do not know
what arguments are most familiarly ad-
vanced here against free coinage" he said.
| C'Coercion," shouted some one).
II was going to say that coercion was
the argument that is being resorted to
now by our republican friends more than
any other argument continued the NOM
nee. 'fBut here IS one advantage about
the voting in the states where they have
the Australian ballot, and that is that
while man wears badge in order to
save his employment he has a right to
use his vote in order to save his country
I do not find 1t in my heart to crtlcise
the man who wears the republican badge
under compulsion. These are hard times,
and they win be harder than this If the
gold standard continues, and l do not
wonder that the man who has job does
not like to risk having that job taken
away from him because he insists upon
being an American citizen. (Applause)
But do rejoice that the aboring men
of this country were instrumental in get
ting an Australian ballot to protect them
in just such crises as we are passing
through. The Australian ballot is our
salvation in this campaign. Without 1t
we could hardly hope for victory. The
Australian ballot is the protection of the
American workingmen, and tyranny
awaits outside while he goes in to vote.
Some one has said a man wears the re-
publican badge to save his employment,
and he votes for free silver to make his
job worth saving"
West Superior turned out the biggest
crowd of the day. 1t numbered in the
neighborhood of 10000 people and the
throng was so thick about the stand from
which Mr.. Bryan spoke that the greatest
physical effort on the part of the police
was necessary to get the candidate and his
wife through While Mr.. Bryan was speak
ing somebody shouted: How about Sick
es?' referring to Gen. Daniel Sickles of
New York, who bolted the Tammany en-
dorsement of Bryan and Sewall and re-
Gently made a speech at Duluth in favor
of Mckinley. For every old soldier we
lose," responded Mr.. Bryan, I'VE gain
dozen" Cheers from the crowd followed.
John w. Tomlinson OF Birmingham, Ala,
a member of Mr.. Bryans party, also spoke
at West Superior. Thirteen speeches and
200 miles of roundabout travel throughout
Minnesota, with little slice Of Wisconsin
included, was Mr.. Bryan's campaigning
record of to-day.
To-day's trip was taken for the special
purpose of aiding Representative Charles
A. Towne in his fight for reelection to the
federal legislature.
Duluth is Mr.. Townes homo and his
local supporters, with several more from
other parts Of his district who came in
on an excursion train, turned out tonight
to do honor to the Nebraska man. A
big crowd was at the Union depot when
the candidates train arrived at O'clock
and hearty cheers followed Messrs. Bryan
| and Towne on their way through the
streets to the st. Louis hotel
Immediately after supper there, Mr.
Bryan started out to fulfill his Duluth
he WI Of MinnRp
lis the female supporters of Mr.. Bryan
in Duluth had arranged a meeting for
their exclusive benefit. They secured the
Lyceum theater for the purpose. So the
$500 or more ladies who squeezed them
selves into the Lyceum tonight had Mr.
Bryan all to themselves. A few news
paper workers of the male persuasion
were admitted and assigned to places
in the rear of the stage, while ladies'
stood on their writing tables to more
effectually screen them from the audience
in front. Incidentally Congressman
Towne was admitted, because he had to
Introduce Mr. Bryan A great waving of
handkerchiefs and clapping of hands and
feminine attempts at a cheer took place
when Mr. Towne had made the presenta-
tion Mr.. Bryan talked about the demo-
cratic side of the money question and re-
ceived more applause when he concluded
Mrs Bryan, who was there with Mrs
Towne, divided interest with her hus-
band.
The second meeting was in the car shed
of the local street railway company
great structure capable of holding be-
tween 1900 and 1900 people. 1t was pack
ed and jammed with male humanity when
Mr. Bryan arrived there, at 925 O'Clock.
His reception was hearty and the cheer
ing on his appearance lasted several min
utes.
Mr. Bryan was introduced by L. c. Har-
rise, Mr.. Towne's law partner.
Mr. Bryan referred in complimentary
terms to Charles A. Towne and John
Lin, and said that Mr.. Towne could be,
ter afford to be defeated than the people
could afford to allow his cause to suffer
defeat.
"I beg you to remember the responsibii-
ties which rest upon you in an hour like
this and leave no effort undone to give
a majority in the House and a majority
in the Senate, as well as President, all
for free coinage at 1e to /, without waiting
for the aid or consent Of any other nation
on earth" ca voice: And you won't
veto it, will you?'D
Mr.. Bryant will not; but l want you
to have two-thirds II possible, in both
houses. so that IL any change should come
to me and l should veto 1t, / want you
to have enough to pass 1t over my ve.o.
(Cheers.) But, my friends, you need have
no concern about my vetolng any meas
ure which is In harmony with the plat
form on which 1 stand. I have been
taught to believe that platforms are
guides to those elected. You may rest
assured that l believe in what is in that
platform, that no power on earth can pre-
vent my carrying out that platform, SO
far as my ability may go. Great cheer

IL desire to thank the laboring men Of
this city for having completed the equip

that bill whenever 1t reaches me, without
depending on anybody else for pen or ink

stand and teh ink presented tonight shall
be preserved, and II by the suffrages Of
my countrymen, I am placed In the high

all this world, these things shall be used
for the purpose for which they are intend
ed, and / shall be glad when the deed is
done, that am indebted, not to the finan-
ciers, not to the trusts, not to corpora
tions, not TO syndicates, but to the labor
ing men for the equipment. (Cheers)
II thank the Glee Club for singing that
song which / think should be made our
battle hymn. In this campaign we are
fighting in the defense OF our horooo "a
