J. Bryan's visit to Ann Arbor till? afternoon. The students of the State L'tiivers-llj-. which Is located here. wue at the meeting In large cum Itrs. anil ach one made his presence felt. A platfoim had boon erected on the south fclde of tl.e Courthouse building, and the -n-tlro south .lde of the square, as well as the adjoining street, was covered with a noiid mass ol humanlt, a ninjoiilv- of thesj nearest the stand being Mudents. Mr. Brjan had no sooner shmvn his facj than tho Lcjs began a clamor which did not cco&e for ten or fifteen minutes. Even r.fter Mr. Bryan advanced to the front of tho stand the din continued, but It ulti mately subsided Miffi&CBtly to allow hlin to hegln. "I am glad to talk to you." he began, "If you are willing to listen " A few voices responded: "Wo aro willing." "If I vvcro an imperialist." Mr. Bryan went on, "I v. mid call out an army to bupprcss you. but I nm not." ev enit Student" Arrested. This sally seem'd to rlcase the your.? men. and most of them laughed and cheered. Some of them jeered to such aa extent, hoi; ever, that an olllccr was com pelled to enter the crowd and arrest several of the noisiest. After this, while the Inter ruptions were frequent, they generally took the shape of questions. One of tho ques tions brought out this explicit declaration from Mr. Bryan: "The Democrats party Is for tho free coinage of silver at the ratio or 1G to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of anv- other nation." Uy the time Mr. Bryan concluded tho confusion had ceased entirely and ho closed amid cheers. At ttio tlmo of tho arrest of some of the students Mr. Bryan's attention was not called to tho fact, and he did not know of It until after the close of tho meeting. Askcil Tlint Hojn He Released. When Informed of what had been done, he Immediately ent tho following letter: "Honorable M. J. Cavanaugh, Ann Arbor My Dear Sir: If It Is true, as I am In formed, that some of the college boys were arrested for disturbing the meeting, pleaso a!k for their discharge. I am sure It was the result of boyish thoughtlessness and sot malice. (Signed) "W, J. BRYAN." Mr. Bryan took up the trust question at the beginning of his speech and aked: "Arc you willing to defend a system by which a few men control a great branch of Industry and s-11 to the reople at trust prices, buy of the people at trvn prices and then employ labor on such ter -s to.!- -ditlunt as tho trust may fix? You young men do not want that kind of a Govern ment. "You don't want a Government that can punish a horse thief, but cannot punish a trust magnate, do you? That Is the kind of a Government you have now. (Applause and jeers and cries of "How about the Ico Trust?") Discussed the Ice Trust. "I hall stop now long enough to discuss the Ice trust. Now, will you explain to ma why every Republican knows there is an lee trust, and yet no Republican knows any thing about any other kind of a trust? Every director of the Ico trust Is a Repub lican. Mr. Croker la cot a director. He is pimply a stockholder. The Governor of the State of New York Is a Republican, and it he were in New York punishing tho Ice trust Instead of making speeches out hero there would be no ice trust. There is a Re publican Legislature and a Republican Gov ernor In New York, and yet tho ico trust fiaurishea. "We h.id an Ico trust In Omaha last spring, but wo have a Democratic Attorney General there, and he commenced suit against the Ice trut there, and It dissolved on the first day of August, but they do not do that In New York. The Ice trust In New lork confines Its evil to the Stato of New York, and tho Republican Governor and legislature can protect the people of that State if they want to. Rut tho Standard Oil Trust covers tho whole United Ktatc3; so does the sugar trust; fo does tho oil trust: so docs tho barb wire trust; eo does the wire nail trust A voice: "How about tho cotton trust?" Cotton Ilale nutl Salt Trust Compared. Mr. Bryan: "The gentleman speaks of the cotton balo trurt. Now. let me tell you the facts. The cotton bale company has a patent for making round bales, and It bales lets than one-twentieth of the cotton of the United States, and yet you Republicans say nothing about a talt trust that controls about So per cent of the output, but you howl about a cotton trust that has one twentieth of tho output. Aro you honest? (Cries of "yes.") Then you mu-t have been Ignorant, for no honest man wilt condemn a 5 per cent cotton bale trust and defend a S3 per cent talt trust because it was Re publican. "Let mo call your attention to( th fact that your party has no rem'dy for the trusts. Your President In a letter of ac ceptance spent more time telling yo'j not to hurt the good trusts than he did In tell ing you bow to hurt the bad ones. Your candidate for Vice President spent more CONVICTS ESCAPED ON ELECTRIC WIRES, Improvised Bicycles Carried Them Over the Walls From Uoof of rrison Both Becaptured. rtErucLic srECiAr. Nashville, Tenn.. Oct. 1L Two desperate eonvlcts at the Tennessee Penitentiary made a daring and novel escape from that Institution about 6 o'clock this evening by sliding down two telephone wires from the to; of a three-story building to a pclnt out tide of the heavy stone walls. Both worked In the harness department, and after the roll call managed to return to the building and gala the roof. Taev hnd provided themselves with two big p'liejs and a wabblng used In the manuface t of bridles. The convicts mounted to slender telcphono wires blcj'de fashion and on this took their coast to freedom, the men pass ing VA feet over the walls. The rattl-s of the wires attracted the attention of lie other convicts, but not tho gunrdH. ard it was some time before the escape was dis covert. Tho alarm was finally givsa and blo'odhound3 put on Ihelr traiL To-night they were overtaken about. five miles from the penitentiary and over powered and captured. Both are burglars wing twenty-year sentences; t!-no denouncing those who denounce tho trusts than in denouncing the trusts them telve" A voice: "What would you do?" Di-iiioi-rallf Itcmi'ily for Trunin. Mr. Brjan. "Wu h.ie a lemedy, and our r"mly is. first, to put every trust-made artl.-Ie on tho free lU-t; second, we propose that Congress shall provido that beforo any corporation does business outside of the Stnto of its origin It shall take out a li cense from the Federal Government, nnd this license shall only be given when the corporation shows that it has no water In its stock, and that it la not attempting to monopolize any branch of business. "I believe that that would bo a remedy for the trusts. I believe that no private monopoly could exist." Mr. Bryan then discussed the standing army, r' Iterating his declaration that the President aiked for an army of 1W.0CO men when t.ot a hand was raised against tho United States. Mr. Bryan admitted his ad ocacy of tho peace treaty, saying: "I slid ratify the treaty und declare the nation's purpo; to give the Filipinos In dependence and protection, and if this na tion had given that promise to tho Fili plnos, not ono American boy would have died In tho Philirpiutf Islands. But that resolution tha Bacon resolution was de feated by tho vote of the Republican Vice President, und from that tlmo to this the Republican party lias not had time to do anv thing on the Philippine question." "It has had timo to give the banks con trol of paper money; It has had time to pro tect the trust while they extort from tha people, but it has not had time to stop the war and bring the boys homo and stand again on the Declaration of Independence. My friends. If we have an Imperial policy wo will need n large army." llrpubllrnn Policy Slniilur to Knslnnil Continuing on the subject of Imperialism, he raid: "Read the Porto RIcan bill and you will find that It Is framed on tho iune policy as the Knglish acts of Parliament against which our people rebelled, and If the Kng lish were right, then the Republican party Is right; If the American colonle3 were right, then the Republican party Is wrong, for It Is simply standing on the same ground that England was occupving." A voice here Inquired: "How about fre"e silver?" Mr. Bryan said: "I am going to pau-e long enough to grat ify this enthusiastic gentleman who wants to know about sliver. Your party promised you in 353-3 to bring you International bi metallism. It brought the gold standard. In IsSS jou -were afraid of a &-cent dpllar. but ovi do nut worry about an S5 per eenl citizen in Porto Rico to-day." Here Mr. Bryan was again interrupted by jeers. He continued. .1Ii-n Jlnre Important Tlmn Mimrj-. "I am afraid jou do n. t want jour ques tion answered further. I am not through, jet ou seem to havo enough. You were afraid we could not havo a double standard of money in HOC. now you want a doublo standard of government, a Republic here and a despotism in the Philippine Islands. In IK'S you were afraid wo could not main tain the parity between the whito metal and tho jelluw: how are you going to main tain the parity between a white citizen hero and a yellow subject In tho Philip pines? "Why is It you aro so much concerned about a matter of government and of hu man rights? (Applause.) Wo are in favor of the free coinage of silver at tho ratio of 1G to 1 without waltlns for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. Your President Is now coining silver dollars at tho ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for tho aid or consent ci any other nation on earth. Your party nevtr proposed a change in tho ratio. If 16 to l is wrong let your party change It; It has the President, Senate and Houee." A voice: "How about North Carolina?" Mr. Bryan: "I thought thero would be bomo North Carolina man here,so I brought a bulletin issued ly the Government ucder this administration, and thcrcforo know it must bo right. It was issued August 23, and when jou people worry about tho educational qualillcatlon In North Carolina I want jou to know that j'our own admin istration has fixed an educational qualifi cation for voters In Porto Rico, and ac cording to this bulletin only 17 per cent of tho negroes of voting ago in Porto ltlco can vote under tho educational qualification fixed by jour own President. "And, raj' friends, remember that In tho South tho educational qualification docs not take from the man the protection of tho Constitution, so far as their rights are con cerned, but -ou take from the peoplo of Porto Rieo the protection of our Constitu tion, and, under thoso qualifications, we thut out S3 per cent of the black men there." In conclusion Mr. Bi-yan said: "If jou believe in a colonial policy for this countrj-. vote the .Republican ticket: but if you want trusts destroyed, the army re-duccd to Its former size. Industrial In dependence here and Independence In the Philippine Islands, we will do all we can to carry out the promises In our platform." HE INTENDED TO DIE IN CEMETERY.

Growing Democratic Sentiment Among Farmers and Employes of Railroads Harrison's Let ter Is "Worrying Managers. nnrum.ic prnciAi Chicago. Oct. 11. Vice Chairman Payne of tho Republican National Committee Is sued to-night n "rainbow" forecast of the result of the presidential election In In diana, In which he claims the State for McKInlej-. Indiana, Mr. Payne nvors. Is no longer doubtful, but will give McKlnley an Increased plurality. This opUmlstlo prediction Is ridiculed by Chairman Jones of tho Democratic Na tional Committee, who claims that Indiana will surely cast Its voto for Bryan, nnd It Is belled by reports to the Chicago Record from Its correspondents on the ground, Mesrs. Charles M. Pepper and John Raf terj. Teiegraphlnir from Indianapolis to-nlcht. Correspondent Raftery pays: "Th Republicans of Indiana, who appre ciate the political situation, are scared bo jond expression. Witness the words of one upon whose efforts depend tho capture of the fanner vote, and remember Oiat unless McKlnley gets the farmer vote he must lose Indiana: " 'In tho first placo, the Indiana country vote Is at two to one compared with the city vote. When I tell you that the Re publican poll of the city vote shows a loss of 1.000 votes in Marlon County alone, you will understand that McKlnley Is beaten unless we can make corresponding gains In tho rural districts. Now. In 1SJ. Brjan was strongest In the rural regions of ln dlnnit. und wo must gain six to eight votes In every country procinct before we can win. We are sure that Bryan has gained In near-lj- every town In the State, and, naturally. wo are driven to do our best work In the country. Farmers Are for Ilryan. " The question is. Can wo bring out the farmer vote that we hnve won? Rain on election day will probably defeat McKlnley lh Indiana. It Is sure to be that close. A sr.ck hog will keep one farmer from the polls, and a hundred sick hogs may give th State to Bryan. The lethargy of the majority of tho Republican manascrs In Indiana Is threatening us with disaster. They know the cltleo. but they aro mis taken if they think that every farmer U going to voto for McKlnley. Our chairmen of ttie county committees are ready to throw us down It tho Democrats pay Uie price necessary to throw tho bulk of coun try votes to Bryan. The Democrats aro spending more money In this State than wo are. Tho rail road employes are almost solid for Bryan. Thcj' scoff at prosperity, because, while the roads have muilo more money since I&tti than ever before, wages havo not been raised, and the employes are discontented. In the rural districts we planned to aid Debs because we thought be would draw largely from the Democratic party, but we were fooled. Ho has drawn mostly from the Republican party. The small store keeper and well-to-do farmer will not con tribute to the campaign fund. They iy. "Why dou't you get your money from tho trusts? Those are the Interests that prollt most from tho McKlnley administration." Our sole chance of carrying Indiana lies In the farmer vote, and while we have made gains there I doubt seriously whether they are enounh to offset the loss In the towns. New Albany alone shows a loss of 1,'.j0 votes." " Disappointed In Harrison. Correspondent Pepper says: "General Benjamin Harrison's statement is unmistakably a disappointment to In diana Republicans. They looked for some thing larger' and stronger. "I saw evidences of tho disappointed feel ing in the southern part of the State this morning, and here in Indianapolis, notwith standing that the Roosevelt demonstration is occupying the minds of the Republican managers, they show that they expected mere from General Harrison than they re ceived. The Republicans would be grateful if he could be persuaded to say something about the flag In the Philippines. Their greatest disappointment Is over his silence on this antUect."
