not be subjected to the crowding and
crushing incident TO a popular meeting.
Mr.. Bryan spoke to them for about %
minutes and was then driven hurriedly
to an immense circus tent, where ne
spoke to many thousands of people of
both sexes. The tent meeting was the
last o fthe day and it was almost II
o'clock when it closed.
Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct u.-Much dis
order characterized w. J. Bryan's visit
to Ann Arbor this afternoon The stu
dents Of the state university, which is To-
Gated here, were at the meeting in large
numbers, and each one made his pres
ence felt. A platform had been erected
beside the court house, and the whole
side of the square and street was pack
ed with humanity, majority of those
nearest the stand being students. Mr..
Bryan had no sooner shown his face than
the boys began to clamor which did not
cease for ten or fifteen minutes. Even
after Mr.. Bryan advanced TO the front
of the stage the din continued, but It
ultimately subsidized sufficiently to allow
him to begin. 81 am glad to talk to
you" he began. 'if you are willing to
listen
A few voices responded: 1--WE are Inst
ening"
eff were an imperialist," Mr.. Bryan
went on, 81 would call out an army to
suppress you, but I am not.
This sally seemed TO please the young
men, and most of them laughed and
cheered. Some Of them jeered to such an
extent, however, that a policeman was
compelled to enter the crowd and ar
rest several Of the noisiest. After this,
though the Interruptions were frequent.
they generally took the shape Of ques
tons. One Of the questions brought out
the explicit declaration by Mr.. Bryan;
THE Democratic party Is for the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 16 to 1.
without waiting for the consent or aid
of any other nation
BY the time Mr.. Bryan concluded the
confusion had ceased entirely and he
closed amid cheers.
At the time of the arrest Of some OF the
students Mr.. Bryan's attention was not
called to the fact and he did not know
of it until after the close Of the meet
ing. When informed Of what had been
done he Immediately sent the following
telegram:
some OF the college boys were arrested
for disturbing the meeting, please ask
for their discharge. I am sure II was
the result OF boyish thoughtlessness and
not malice
Mr.. Bryan took up the trust question
at the beginning Of his speech and SAX
ed: "Are you willing TO defend a sys-
tenn by which a few men control a great
~ TN 20 he
pie at trust prices. buy Of the people at
trust prices and then employ labor on
such terms and conditions as the trust
may fix. You young men do not want
that kind Of government You do not
want a government that can punish a
horsethief but can not punish a trust
magnate. That Is the kind OF govern /
ment you have now"
Mr.. Bryan was aked about the fee trust
and the cotton bale trust. and made bis
usual reply. A voice asked what he
would do about trusts and Mr. Bryan re-
Piled: 1--WE have a remedy, and our I
remedy IS, first. to put every trust-ma5e I
article on the free list second We propose +
that congress should provide that before /
any corporation does business outside u
the state Of its origin II shall take out a
license from the federal government and f.
this shall only be given when the cor 4
poratior shows that X has no water IN
It's stock and that Il IS not attempting
To uonopolizs any branch Of business. (
believe that would he a remedy for ths .
trusts. I believe that no private monop- /
oily could exist.
