moved off amidst enthusiastic shouts.
MIR. BRYAN IS QUITE HoARsE.
Greensburg.-Mr. Bryan is quite hoarse
and if his voice does not mend before
Wednesday night it will materially affect
the force of his anticipated speech in
Madison Square Garden.
oLAMoRous MEN AND WOMEN.
Altoona, Pa-Many thousands of people
were at the station to give Bryan cor
dial welcome. The railroad enclosure
was filled with clamorous men and
women, while the streets outside the
fence were packed for two blocks or
more.
The scramble for recognition by the
distinguished visitor was as intense as
only rugged workmen could make it. Mr..
Bryan shook hands with as many as pos
sible. Cheers were continuous and per-
sistent demands were made for speech.
Owing to the condition of his voice,
Mr.. Bryan declined to speak, although
manifestly greatly pleased by the demon
stration.
In his stead, Mr.. Bland responded, say
ing: DEMONSTRATORS such as this have
great political Significance. They show
that the people are rising in their might.
This audience is only repetition OF what
have seen all along the line, and, If the
silver sentiment continues to increase
from now on as it has in the past, we will
sweep William j. Bryan into the White
house by an overwhelming majority. We
propose to put the laboring people of the
country to work and not have them
tramping for work." Great applause
and cheering.
As the train drew away, hundreds OF
workmen, strung along the fences of the
railroad yards, waved toward it stained
caps in greeting to Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
who returned the salutes.
BLAND SPEAKS FOR BRYAN.
Tyron, Pa.-When the Bryan train
reached this point, about $50 men and
women waded through the mud and water
in the ditch beside the track to catch the
hands of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, cheering
with spirit.
Again Mr.. Bland responded to calls for
Mr.. Bryan, saying that the great masses
of laboring people "want change of our
financial system, so that it will not be
necessary to have continued bond sales"
Tremendous applause.
