BRYAN II WISCONSIN.
THE CANDIDATE RESUMES HIS
SPEAKING TOUR.
MAKES BRIEF SPEECHES.
llearn Clieors for SIoKlnley A alti De
nounces the Annrchltt Charge The
Fcnplo Asked to Study the
Isaacs and. Cast Their llallots
.Intelligently ami for
Their 15est Intercut * .
Chicago , Sept. ? . Mr. Bryan lb ft at
8:45 o'clock this morning for Milwau
kee , where he was to make two
speeches to-day. With him were E.
C. Wall , F. W. Von Cothausen , Julius
Scluieudel and P. J. Somers.
At Watik < * gan , where about 700 people
ple demanded a speech from Mr. Bry
an , he was introduced by Mr. Wall as
the next President of the United
States and said : ' 'Ladies and Gentle
men , I haven't time to make , a speech ,
but I am very triad to see you , whether
you are drawn here by what opposing
papers call idle curiosity or by inter
est in the cause being presented in
this campaign. I am inclined to be
lieve there is a great deal of interest
among the people on both sides of this
question. Some believe the success of
the free silver cause would be detri
mental to the country. They say they
are earnestly opposed to us. Others
believe that there can be no
general return of prosperity to
the people of the United States
until we stop the appreciation of
money by giving the people more
standard money. It is natural to be
lieve that these people feel interested.
It is not for one man to say how an
other shall think , or act or vote , but
I believe we have the right to urge
upon 3'ou the importance of studying
the question for ourselves and not
allowing anybody to think for you.
1 do not believe there is any ciass of
people who ean safely be intrusted to
tiie right to think and act for another
class. The ballot is given to the cit
izen in order that each citizen may
make his vote represent not what
somebody else may think , but what
he wants himself. I simply ask you ,
during the days which intervene be
tween now and election day , to study
the issues presented in this campaign ,
and when you have made up your
minds , have the courage to vote as
you please , and no one can question
your right to do it. I thank you. "
CHEERS AND COUSTEK CHEEKS.
There was a loud cheer when Mr.
Bryan had finished. Then some one
proposed "Three cheers for MeKin-
ley , " and about half the crowd gave
them with a will. These were fol
lowed by return cheeiing for the
Democratic nominee , which continued
until the train pulled out
At Kenosha a thousand people were
waiting. To them Mr. Bryan spoke
as follows : "Ladies and gentlemen :
It is natural in a country like this ,
where all the power emanates from
the people and where officers are
chosen by the people , they should feel
an interest in public affairs and cam
paigns through which they pass.
When the time comes when the great
question forces itself to the front the
interest is deepened , and we have
reached such a time. Often it is a mat
ter of comparatively little import
ance whether an issue before theipeo-
/ple is settled this year or next , or a
few years in the future ; but there are
times when great results depend on a
campaign , and we have reached such
a time. The money question has been
forced upon the attention of the people
ple by those who are not satis-
hied with ihe gradual appre
ciation of the dollar , but have sought
to hasten its rise. It certainly has
been too rapid for the welfare of
the people , but those who were the
beneficiaries of the appreciation of the
dollar were not satisfied and attempt
ed to hasten its rise by action still
more hostile to the white metal. They
have not been content to let the people
ple have an increased value of money ,
but have secured the repeal of the
Sherman law and put nothing in its
place and then begun to issue bonds
because hard times had made it : m-
possible to invest money in enter
prises. Property has fallen and when
property is falling people do not want
to invest in property. They want to
invest in money and then when money
was idle and they could not find profit
able investments in enterprises some
wanted to draw a srood interest on
such investments. In my judgment
'those who want a safe investment
and wanted government bonds issued
were to a large extent responsible for
the result. In our platform we have
declared against the issue of bonds in
times of peace. When you come to
consider these questions , the interests
of the people who must pay taxes
which pay the bonds should be con
sidered rather than the people who
desire to prodt by taxation wrung
from a people already overburdened.
\Ye knew when we put the clause in
our platform against the issue of
bonds we would lose the bondholders ,
but we want the people who pay the
taxes. "
THE AXAr.CHIsT CHAKGK. •
A conservative estimate of the
crowd at Racine to meet Mr. Bryan
would be 1,800 people and it seemed
if each one was trying to outdo all
others in cheering. Captain W. B.
Vance of Kaeine introduecd Mr.
Bryan , who said : Ladies and Gentle
men : When I see a large number of
people like this who seem to be inter
ested in the success of the campaign
upon which we have started , I some
times wonder whether it is possible
that you people are deserving of the
names that are applied to you. If am
an Anarchist , then all who want me
elected must be Anarchists also. When
I loojc into your faces I wonder
whether you are all enemies of the
government or enemies of those who
want to use the government as a pri
vate snap. There is a great difference
between being against ihe crovern-
ment and against ifco who misuse
qa aesi ygggaacgw ; 'W T

the government. Andrew Jackson said
there were no necessary evils in gov
ernment ; that its evils , grew out of
its abuse. Some people do not
draw any lines between government
and the abuse of government , and
whenever people speak out against
an abuse of government those who
are making money out of the abuse
generally find fault with the people
who complain and try to put them in
i the attitude of opponents of govern-
'nient. ' 1 want to assure you the most
loyal supporters of government are
not found in great truats which think
they are greater than the government
and control it They are found among
the masses who want to secure love
for the government by every citizen
by making it so good it will.deserve
their love. Remember you cannot
reform evil by talking , you have got
to reform it by voting. People may
complain as much as they like
about a .bad law , but the way
to get rid of it is to repeal it and the
way to repeal it is to vote for those
who believe in repealing the laws that
are bad and not those who want to
make more bad laws and keep all the
bad laws already in existence. If the
people of this country would all rec
ognize the power of the ballot and
use that power as they should , there
would be less complaint against injus
tice. If our laws are bad , remember
the people who permit the laws to re
main bad are to blame. If our laws
are to be good , those who want them
| good have got to make them good. I
thank you. "

Chili's New Prealdenc
Valparaiso , Sept 5. After an ex
cited session the Chilian Congress , , by
a vote of 62 to CO , decided yesterday
that the relatives of Frederico Erraz-
uriz had a right to vote. The Reyists
protested against this action , as it
allowed Errazuriz's relatives the ritrht
to vote in their own cause , but in
spite of this Errazuriz was proclaimed
President of the republic of Chili
y the same vote G2 to GO.
There is great excitement in Val
paraiso and Santiago , but so far
order has been preserved. The term
for which Errazuriz was elected is for
five years from September IS.
