 CLEVELAND, Sept. 2-Candidate Bry- an has been the object of no other dem- onstration so yociferous and so spectacu- lar as that which the city of Cleveland gave him Monday night. and nowhere else, with the possible exception of New York, have 50 many people attempted to hear him talk. Two great audiences listened to Mir Bryap, the first in Gen. tral armory. where e,00o people were packed the second in Music hall. which held 5000. and afterwards he spoke to several thousands from the balcony Of the Hollendea hotel. Bands and march ing campaign clubs were numerous about the streets, and with thousands of strangers in it's gates the city wore 8 holiday aspect.
 Special trains brought out-of-town clubs in during the afternoon. Five hundred caLle in on one train from Can ton, the members Of the Bryan club of that city with their friends; two trains came from Akron and others from Lor- raine, Cuyahoga and other Ohio and Pennsylvania points.
 For two CT three squares the streets about the depot were thronged when the cannon announced the arrival Of the train on which the candidate came, at 6 30 o'clock. There was q parade 70 escort him to the hotel and another after dinner from the hotel to the arm ory, the latter headed by Democratic clubs of Cuyahoga. followed by several ward organizations and town clubs. The armory doors were thrown open al : o'clock and in l5 minutes every foot Of space was filled to the doors.
 Not only were the aisles jammed, but men were cInging on the window sills high up and hanging in all sorts Of un- comfortable places. In both of the Cleveland halls, as in most of the other cities where Mr. Bryan has spoken. the police arrangements were inadequate The erowding was almost as great as Jamestown Saturday, and any sort Of stampede would have produced 3 disas- ter.
 Workingmen were in g large majority st both meetings. they took things easy. pulling of their coats, singing and dis. posing themselves generally in 8 good natured turbulent way An arm hold ing hammer surmounted with the words "The Friend of Labor, was sm- blazoned across a big transparency in the armory.
 Two of the first corners were Gen era1'' Coxey, late of the Commonweal Army, and his lieutenant and son-in- law, Carl Browne, whose appearance upon the platform, where they preempt- ed front seats. brought down q treme- dous howl. in response to which. the general arose and bowed The shirt sleeved crowd attempted to persuade Mir. Coxey to speak. but failing, listened to the music of gleeelub and sang the Star Spangled Banner" and Marching Through Geoegiae in many thousand voiced chorus, with thunderous effect.
 When Mir Bryan came down on the stage at o'clock escorted by L. F. Holden of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, he inspired fierce cheer which contin- ued for three minutes. with waving hats and handkerchiefs, and was con- tinued all the time the temporary chair man was trying 10 work in his speech.
 The armery audience was the largest Mir Bryan nas addressed indoors, except the one at Madison Square garden. The Music hall crowd was half as large.
 Besides the candidates speech, speech es were made at the armory by Judge McMath and L. s. Holden, but to desi- mated crowd, and the Music hall crowd was entertained by local orators during it's two and half hours Of waiting. h his speeches at both places Mr Bryan devoted himself mainly to the financial question
