The attendance AT the West Superior.
Duluth. saltwater. St Paul. and Min
uoap0is meetings was large. but owing
90 The srarsity of the population the 9TH
Dr crowds were comparatively small. This
is The sixteenth anniversary of Mr..
Hfvar's marriage, and, by strange coin
eidence, the twenty-frst anniversary Of
Gov Lind's marriage. They celebrated
with a Poland dinner.
Al H!nckley Mr. Bryan made the third
stop o. the day. This is the point which
few years ago was destroyed by forest
hres with 300 Of it's population, but it has
been 30 built up that there is no longer
evidence OF the fearful visitation. Here
Mr. Bryan referred 10 the Presidents
letter of acceptance, saying that the
President had said Il was dangerous
hing 10 attempt 10 protect the Philippines
from outside interference. Mr.. Bryan did
not accept this view, and he said the ad-
ministration had not seemed to take this
view Of the Sulu archipelago. Under the
treaty with the Sultan OF those islands,
he said. the President had agreed TO pro-
tect them. How could IT be more dan
gerous to extend protection TO the Chris
the Mohammedan Sulus?
Laudrd Lind's Administration.
In Introducing Mr.. Bryan at Pine City
Gov. Lind said that he and Mr.. Bryan
had not been political associates when in
Congress, but that they had been brought
together "by the evolution OF the Ameri-
can conscience" Mr.. Bryan devoted
much Of his speech at this place to the
governor. saying that If he. az President
could do as well as Mfr. Lind had done as
governor he would be entirely satisfied.
and he believed that the people would be.
He predicted that at the coming election
many Republicans would initiate Gov.
I.ind's example and come over TO the
Democratic party.
At Rush City Mr. Bryan said that dur
ing the present administration the Repub-
Ucan party had done many things that
were far worse than the widest prophecy
could have predicted of them in 1896. One
OF these deeds was the increase OF the
army and another the liberation of the
trusts. Asked about the ice trust, Mr..
BRYAN again said that all the directors
Of IL were Republican in politics. More
over, the affairs OF the state of New
York, where the ice trust was said TO eX-
ist. were in the hands of a Republican
governor. MnOs llSltdu Oh lile
West in The interest of the gold standard
should be at home protecting his people
against this trust. as the fusion admins
tration in his own State of Nebraska
was doing.
The only way" he said at saltwater.
"of distinguishing a good trust from a
bad trust according 10 the Republican
idea, is to go to the trust for campaign
contribution; il the trust gives literally, it
is good: if il gives stingily, il is bad" He
said the Republicans know nothing about
ANYTHING but the ice trust. on this point
his WORDS were as follows:
Hurt by the sugar Trast.
Not one of you is hurt by the ice
trust, Every one Of you is hurt by the
sugar trust, the lumber trust, the salt
trust; you are hurt when clothing goes
up, when sugar goes up, when stoves go
yp, and in all these things you are hurt
and YET none Of you know anything about
any but the ice trust. because the Repub-
hcsn papers do not keep You informed as
10 what is going on on the trust ques stion."
The Auditorium, I'm which Mr.. Bryan
spoke at ST. Paul. was crowded TO the
very dome. II is a large building, said
10 hold 5000 persons. Before proceeding
With his speech Mr.. Bryan was presented
0l'h a life Of Abraham Lincoln, by F. l..
NrGhee, on behalf of the Colored Mems
League. In responding 10 this presenta-
urn Mr. Eryan eulogiZed Lincoln and
Congratulated Mr McGhee upon the ad-
Naucement made by his people.

The blood OF Lincoln. spTinkled upon the

No one can deny the existence OF race
