SWOOPS DOWN TO SANDUSKY.
BRYAN MAKES A SORTIE INTO
MKINLEYSs OLD DISTRICT.

At Least 10000 Persons in One of
the Audiences Addressed at
Youngstown.
Sandusky, Oct. pa sortie into Maj
McKinley's old congressional district was
the most interesting feature of Candidate
Bryan's last day in Ohio, which ended
with a speech at Sandusky tonight, sew
eral hours behind the time called for by the
programme. The loyalty Of the republ-
can candidates former congressional dis
trict was manifested at several places by
demonstrations intended to counteract the
enthusiasm for the democratic nominee
The manner in which the supporters of
the St. Louis ticket showed their polti-
cal feelings was the same at every place
where such demonstrations occurred.
At Wellsville, the first town within the
district at which Mr.. Bryan spoke, the
attempt to offset any influence his ap-
pearance and speech might have was par
ticularly marked. yellow badges, yellow
neckties, yellow hat bands with yellow
streamers tied to brooms and yellow flags
were numerous. Cheers for Mckinley
were heard frequently, and Mr.. Bryan's
remarks were interrupted so often that he
finally turned on his annoyers and add
dressed some very vigorous remarks in
tended for their benefit. This rallied his
supporters, and they cheered him with a
heartiness that made him understand his
standard had still plenty of followers.
1t was the same at East Liverpool,
where golden-hued personal adornment
was practiced to quite as large an extent.
lBellaire and Martins Ferry also fur
nished gatherings, in which the insignia
of the gold standard was prominently dis
played
The earlier part of Mr. Bryan's trip
to-day brought him to places along the
west bank of the Ohio river. He made a
little foray into Pennsylvania, and spoke
at Rochester and New Brighton, in that
state Youngstown gave him his greatest
reception, at least 10000 being in one of
the three audiences he addressed there.
His speeches numbered twenty-one, and
were delivered at Bellaire Martins Fer
~, Bridgetown Steubenville, Toronto,
WellsVille, East Liverpool, Rochester, Pa,
New Brighton, Pa, Youngstown (three
times), Alliance Ravenna, Kent, Akron
(two), Media and Sandusky (two).
Gold badges were noticeable in the
throng of 5000 at Steubenville, but not
nearly so numerous as at Bridgeport and
Martins Ferry. Some young men who
wore the yellow, interrupted the speech
several times, and Mr.. Bryan answered
their comments with some display of feed
ing.
My friends" he said, II am surprised
at these Interruptions You show me a
man that believes in a gold standard and
| will show you man who is afraid Of
public discussion, because the gold stan
dard dare not meen public discussion.
(Cheers) We are leaving those who ac-
cuse us of being anarchists to interfere
with public meetings and to prevent dis
cussion of a measure that concerns every
man, woman and child in the United
States. (Cheers) A republican platform
for the first time in the history of this
country proposes to surrender the right Of
self-goVernment and to delegate to for
eign nations the right to determine what
kind Of a financial system we should have;
and If those who wear yellow badges want
to put a badge on that describes this con-
dition, let them have a card saying: We
are American citizens, but we want for
eign nations to take care of u.s.. and then
their badge Will mean something" Z"
(Cheers.)
Mr.. Bryan had been told that one of "the
generals had said, at Steubenville yes
terday, that the democratic nominee had
declared in the House of Representatives
that the pension roll was not a roll Of
honor and, beginning his speech there
this morning. he said: Before entering
upon the discussion of any question, /
want to ask you not to take the word Of
republican advocates of the gold standard
or ex-democratic advocates of the gold
standard for my record upon the soldier
question. / was in congress four years,
and / want you to read the Congressional
Record. You will not find in that record
single evidence Of hostility to those who,
having served their country and saved
their country thirty years ago, are ready
to save 1t from foreign domination.
(Cheers). There is no reason why sol
der who believes with us. on this para
mount issue Of the campaign there is no
reason why a soldier who believes in the
policy set forth in our platform, should
not act with us, because their interests are
safer with those who believe in govern
ment such as Lincoln desired--a govern
ment of the people, by the people and for
the peopIe-than with those who believe
in a government Of syndicates, by syndi-
Gates and for syndicates."
A thousand people greeted Mr. Bryan
at Toronto, and showed the greatest en-
thusiasm over the little speech he de-
livered.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at Youngstown at
1:20 o'clock this afternoon, nearly three
hours late. He delivered a number Of
speeches at towns along the Ohio river,
and was made TO realize at some of them
try. 1t was at Wellsvile where $500 peo-
pie were waiting for him, that his train
made it's first stop In Maj. McKiney's
old congressional district, and the most
pronounced counter demonstration Of the
democratic candidates campaign was wit
messed there. A large number Of the
spectators wore the conspicuous yellow
badges encountered earlier In the day at
Bellaire, and Martins Ferry and some
Of the republicans in the crowd bore
American flags and brooms, adorned with
golden streamers. The first sentence ut
tered by Mr.. Bryan started the opposi-
ton. I'VE can support our position in
this campaign" he said, by the author
ity even of those who to-day are silent
upon the subject. can call your atten-
ton to a speech made by Mr.. Mckinley
in 1891, IN which he denounced Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration"
Cheering for Mckinley began as he con-
cluded the sentence, but the democratic
contingent Of the audience rallied to the
support Of their standard bearer, and made
him understand by their shouts that he
had plenty Of friends around him.
Then Mr.. Bryan started in to have his
innings In this way: my friends, / am
glad to know that there are those here
who cheer for him. because want to ask
