Ihere We're large crowds at Niles and
Dowagiac. At the latter place Congress-
man Bynum was to speak later in the
day and Mr., Bryan took occasion 10 nuote
an utterance of his and make some com
ments on it.
Mr.. Bryan began: 1T is because of
the shrinkage of value as well as the
oeLrlment OF labor that I raise my voice
ana utter a protest against a crusade
that mas been in the past so successfully
waged in behalf Of the moned interests
TO the utter and most complete destruction
OF the welfare of the people. The peoDle
OF the west have been paying an exorbi-
taht interest to the east until they are
IMPOVERISHED. They are energetic, la
POROUS and patriotic. During the days
When the nations body was bleeding
from hundred wounds and its life treIn-
pled IN the balance, they poured out their
rlchest blood and treasure that il might
De saved" Mr.. Bryan had this to say
IN comment; These words were true
then and they are true TODAY The peo-
pie are as laborious and energetic now
as they We're when Mr. Bryan described
them, and they are suffering to-day as
they suffered then, and all they ask now
Is what they asked then, that it will
not raise its arms and strike them down
with one blow to want and beggary; and
a mob. l want you to understand that
those who are to-day, for some reason,
which they may be able to explain.

the truth which they spoke then"
Mr.. Bryan spoke briefly at Decatur
and Lawton.
Kalamazoo, Mich, Oct. 16.-Kalamazoo
was red hot with Bryan enthusiasm when
the democratic candidate arrived. Ten
thousand people thronged Brunson park to
hear him speak, and they expressed their
partisan feelings up to the limit of their
lung power. Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by Mr.. Todd, the democratic candidate for
congress in that district, and in the course
of his remarks, took a shot at Chairman
Lauterbach of the New York county re-
publican committee.
Another great assemblage was at Battle
Creek awaiting the Nebraska candidate.
1t appeared to be fully as large as that at
Kalamazoo. The brief speech Mr.. Bryan
made from stand near the Michigan
Central station, was we'll received 1t
contained no new material. The expert
ence of being the chief attraction was
surrendered at Marshall by Mr.. Bryan,
who insisted on introducing in his stead,
Albert Williams, a gentleman so years of
age.
If the platform from which Mr.. Bryan
spoke at Albion to about 1000 people had
not been so low, serious accident might
have occurred. Mr.. Todd introduced the
candidate and the talker was in the midst
of a speech when the frail stand from
which he was speaking collapsed carry
ing with it Mr.. Bryan and two score of
others. The crowd had hardly time to
know what had occurred before it saw
the nominee pick himself up and jump on
a truck to continue. No one was hurt.
Mrs. Bryan, who usually sits on the
platforms while her husband is speaking,
fortunately remained on the train at AL
bion.
So densely were the people packed in
the public square and Liberty square this
evening that Mr. Bryan was unable to
reach the stand from which he was ex-
pected to speak. 1t was just growing dark
when the carriage in which Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan were seated appeared, and it was
made to go through the jam only with
the greatest difficulty The solid mass of
humanity at the public square was i'm
preganable and Mr.. Bryan stood up in
the vehicle and made a short speech,
which was enthusiastically received.
Dashing off to Liberty square, the horses
brought up against another bulwark of
human beings and again the democratic
candidate was obliged to deliver his
speech from the carriage.
Lansing, Mich, Oct. 6-Excursionists
from Grand Rapids, Detroit, Battle Creek,
Ann Arbor, Hillsdale and many other
places came to Lansing to-day to hear
Mr.. Bryan, and the capitol city was full
of visitors when he arrived at O'CLOCK.
Flambeau clubs on horse and a-foot es-
corted him from his train to Meads hall,
where he addressed a meeting exclusively
for women The second speech was de-
livered on a canopied platform In Hotel
square. Ten thousand people were there,
but Mr. Bryans husky voice could not
reach very far and large numbers went
away Later, however, from the brilliant
" lighted balcony of a hotel, he address
ed an audience equal in numbers to that
on the capitol grounds. Mr.. Bryan s
voice sounded clearer from his command
ing position on the balcony, and ms re-
marks were punctuated by great cheer-
ing Then he went to the armory,
spacious building, and spoke to those
hacked within it's walls, and concluded
the evening at a big tent, which was also
crowded. There was little II
anything new in Mr.. Bryan's
Lansing speeches.
At the Downey house. he urged his hear
ers. who were in favor Of free silver noc
to stay away from the polls on election
day, because the result might depend upon
the electoral vote Of one state. He SAID
he was willing to trust the employees of
the big corporations to vote as they pleas
ed, but the advocates of a gold standard
were not They had attempted COERCION
showing that their cause was hopeless
and that they no longer appealed to rea-
son, as an appeal to force was the last
resort of desperation.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, Mr.. Bryan's
special pulled out for St. Johns, where
he will begin his speech-making to-mor-
row.
