Bellaire. Mich. oct. 15-Mr. Bryans
third speech was made at Petosky, where
his train arrived at S:25 O'clock and made
stop of twenty minutes. More than a
thousand people were in the crowd that
cheered the nominee when Mr.. Hampton,
the democratic candidate for congress in
this district introduced him. A number
of men there wore badges inscribed AN
Honest Dollar" and, noticing these, Mr..
Bryan said: ''I want to address my re-
marks to those who are wearing these
badges on which are written An Honest
Dollar. l do not know whether they are
intended to mean that those who wear
them are in favor of a gold standard
or free silver" ("Sixteen to one," shout
ed some one) Mr. Bryan smiled, and did
not make further reference to the matter.
Several hundred people at Charlevoix
heard a brief speech from the greatest
hero of the nineteenth century" as Mr.
Bryan was called by the gentlemen who
introduced him.
Petosky, Mich, Oct. l5.-Three speeches
before 3 o'clock this morning was the
way William j. Bryan began his second
day of Michigan campaigning When the
train reached st. Ignace on the Straits
of Mackinac, at $50 o'clock he found
large crowd of shlvering people waiting
for him. Two bands had been secured by
the Bryan advocates in the town and
these played heartily as the nominee ap-
peared, Although Mr.. Bryan had not
eaten his breakfast and was attired only
in his night shirt, trousers and overcoat
he made a good speech and was cheered
vigorously The special train was taken
across the straits on a barge and reached
Mackinaw at o'clack. Here was an
other large audience, 1000 or more, in
Guiding a crowd of eXcursionists. Mr.
Bryan was more appropriately attired
for speech making and made a vigorous
address. No less than four brass bands
were at hand, and, despite the early
hour, the meeting was great SUCCESS
Cadillac, Mich, Oct IA short stop
was made at Bellaire and Mr. Bryan
spoke to about 5000 people.
Tho demonstration at Traverse City, a
lumber port on Little Traverse Bay, was
somewhat pretenuous. Two silver-coated
horses drew the hag-covered carriage in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan rode, to a va
cant lot in the town, where the candidate.
after an introduction by Mayor Harry
Davis delivered his speech. IT was a
large and very enthusiastic audience that
shouted a welcome to Mr.. Bryan and ap-
plauded his remarks without stint They
told him in a chorus that he was all
right, and gave other demonstrative evil
dence Of appreciation. The crowd was
estimated at 5000. MT Bryan said in
part. Sometimes when | am weary with
work and my voice shows signs of weak
ening, 1t is encouraging to meet an audi
ence like this and be informed by so many
people that l am all right / do not know
whether you mean that l am all right
physically or politically"
Both" shouted a man in the crowd.
"Well," Mr. Bryan continued, '1f you
tell me that / am right politically, / Will
tell you / am all right physically, and IL
you have any fears about my ability 10
keep up this canvass until the campaign
closes will simply tell you to watch the
newspapers and you will find that every
working day will be employed, and that /
"
campaign than on any day preceding It..
(Cheers) -
'In advocating free coinage, / do not
claim that l am infallible, but do want
you to understand that l believe what /
say when l tell you that IN my judgment
there can be no prosperity in this coun-
try until bimetallism Is restored to the
American people, l am telling you what
/ believe. (Cheers) Not only am | tell
ing you what now believe, but / am tell
ing you what the republicans used to be-
lieve, although they have now surrendered
their convictions and permitted their
party TO act for them, instead of acting
for themselves. The advocates Of the gold
standard, that is, those who desire t.,
but advocate bimetallism, tell you that
when things are cheap dollars buy more.
There Is a man who has spoken on thia
subject and his words ought to command
respect among those who are supporting
the republican party. Let me read to you
what Mr.. Mckinley said on May T. 1890.
You will find 1t in the Congressional Rec.
ord: When merchandise is the cheapest
the men are the poorest and the most dis
astrous experiences in the history OF our
country, aye, in all human history, have
been when everything was the lowest ana
cheapest, measured by gold, for every-
thing was the highest and dearest meas
ured by labor
And yet" continued Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Mckinley stands for a financial policy
that intends to make money the master
and all things else the servant lie stands
for financial policy that intends to make
the property OF the world cheaper than
ever before by making the money Of the
world dearer than 1t every was before. ."
The candidates special left Traverse
City at 11:05 O'clock, after a stop Of half
an hour Small crowds at Walton and
Mention cheered Mr.. Bryan on the trip
down to Cadillac.
Big Rapids, Mich, Oct. 15.-The dstrlb-
utors OF Mckinley badges had been active
at Cadillac. as they were at Traverse City
and elsewhere along Mr. Bryan's route.
That they had been kept busy among the
Cadillac people was evident from the many
yellow insignias that confronted the candi-
date when he mounted the decorated fat
car there to make an address. But II
the silver adherents had no outward signs
to.proclaim their allegiance to the Chicago
nominee, they had good lungs and used
them at every opportunity.
At Reed City, the crowd that greeted Mr..
Bryan numbered $500. about the same as
az Cadillac, and showed considerable en-
thusiasm during his speech.
