Wilmington, Del, October A.-Mr. Dry an made two speeches at some length in this city tonight after having made seventeen other addresses during the day. Beginning at StI Michaels, on the eastern shore of Maryland, he spoke at Easton, Preston, Murdoch, Vienna, Salisbury, Berlin, all of which places are in Maryland, and at Frankfort, Georgetown, Milford, Harring- ton, Dover, Clayton, Middleton, Kirkwood and New Castle in Delaware.
 The audiences of the day were as rule fair sized, and a majority of them were thoroughly appreciative. At a few of the stopping places in Delaware there was ap- parent lack of enthusiasm.
 Between Berlin and Frankfort MT. Bryan crossed the line from Maryland into Della ware and began campaign of the latter State, which extended into all three of its counties. He was accompanied by dele gation of Democratic leaders, including United States Senator Kennedy, Rev. MT. Tunnel Hon. F. J. Ford, Democratic can didate for Governor; Hon. A. M. Daly and Willard Salisbury, chairman of the Demo- cratic State Committee.
 The first meeting proved a disappoint- ment. Only few people were congregated at the railroad station at Frankford when MT. Bryan's train pulled into that place, and while those who were present listened with attention to what he had to say there were no cheers. The speech was brief and dealt with the general issues of the cam paign.
 Judge Springer joined MT. Bryan at Georgetown. At that place the meeting -s-, hold in the nnhlic snnare. across the street from the court house. At that point MT. Bryan spoke for about forty minutes, giving his special attention to the interests of the farmers. of whom the audience was largely composed. In the beginning the audience appeared quite cold but it after ward warmed up considerably. and the ap- plause was both frequent and general to- ward the close of the speech.

 4. How long after stable form of gov ernment. is established and independence is declared does he propose that the Ameri- can protectorate over the Philippine Is- lands shall continue?
 5. Will he pay the obligations of this government in silver gold if elected President?
 MT. Bryan read the questions and replied as he proceeded to each inquiry. He said in effect that he would get the army out of the Philippine Islands as soon as possi- ble, and with reference to the payment of the national debt that he would obey the law.
