Washington, a railway hamlet, was not
too small to turn out a few score of peo-
pie ready to cheer. Then came Dunkirk.

introduced by Chairman Durbin of the
state central committee, and spoke as fol-
lows: Ladies and Gentlemen: am
very glad to meet you this morning and
glad to notice the interest which you are
taking in this campaign. In my iudg-

that the people of this country have been
caiied upon to engage in for many years,
and an can ask Of you is that you each
STUDY this money question for yourself
and when you have made up your mind
what Is right, then do what you think
best"
Great cheering followed the speech.
Bucyrus. o., Aug. 1O.-"we're all for
free silver here" was the first greeting to
Mr. Bryan at Forest. where three hun
dred people were gathered. Many Of the
people at Forest were farmers, and they
told Mr.. Bryan that they were for him
Ihere was great cheering as the train
started.
After leaving. Forest, a stop was made
AT klrDy and Mr.. Bryan was cheered
by the small crowd there. Then came
Upper Sandusky, where the enthusiasm
equaled that expressed at any place in
the state. 1t is estimated that the crowd
Ihere numbered nearly 1000 and the
people composing it pushed and struggled
10 get near the nominee until they be-
came a bowling, rushing mob. A brass
Dand played popular airs as the people
cheered. Congressman Hare, standing
beside Mr.. Bryan, managed to secure ST.
lence long enough to present the nomi-
nee, and when the cheering that follow
ed had -subsided, Mr., Bryan made few
remarks in husky voice, which told Of
the strain of the past few days
Another mad rush to shake the hand of
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan followed the speech
one elderly man jumped on the steps be-
a nd CHI Had f1~.N l..
AFRAID the country would be flooded with
silver II the democratic ticket was elect
ed His remark was heard by the crowd
and Mr.. Bryan turned quickly to the
audience and said: IF any of YOU are
afraid of a flood of money | want you
TO vote the other ticket" This caused
cheers. You know" he continued,
there are a great many people who have
lived in a drought so long that they are
AFRAID of a flood"
The cheers that went up were loud and
prolonged.
Mansfield, o., Aug. 1O.-Bucyrus, o., gave
a welcome to Mr.. Bryan that any man
might be proud of. The crowd did not
number more than five hundred, but had
plenty of enthusiasm, and gave it to him
without stint Republicans with vigor-
Gus lungs attempted to get a counter DEM
onstration in favor of Maj. Mckinley and
the Ohio candidates name punctuated eV-
cry cheer for Bryan. Mr.. Bryan made a
little speech, and 1t was well received
The Inconvenience caused by the position
of his car became more marked at each
stopping place, so at Bucyrus Mr.. Bryan
went to the rear car, day coach, and
spoke from the rear platform
AT Crestline, the next stop, the BRYAN
car was switched to the rear end of the
train and the crowd was able to see and
near him without danger of being pressed
under the wheels. BY this time nearly ev-
cry coach on the train was crowded with
enthusiastic democrats who cheered for
Bryan every few minutes Crestline's
welcome to Mr.. Bryan was noisy. Crest
nne is railway junction and the broad
platforms were packed with humanity as
the train came i'm at 10:30 o'clock a. m
A salute was fired from a cannon and
band vas there to play; Under the es-
cort Of p. W. Poole, Mr.. Bryan was con-
Veyed through the bowling assembly to
a temporary platform near the station
Mr.. Poole introduced him and he spoke
several minutes.
Wooster, o., Aug. 1O.-During the speech
at Crestline an ardent gold man chal-
lenged one of Mr.. Bryan's statements,
and Bryan man on the speakers stand
Immediately wanted to fight him. An
other exciting incident of the reception
was the attempt made to steal a diamond
shirt stud from Col John A. Creswel,
the millionaire banker of Omaha, who is
tcSOAll'eiAiS Atl6 MI DRY an 10 NtW lpIh.
Col. Creswell was too quick, however,
and made grab at the thief, Who rushed
through the crowd in an endeavor to es-
cape, but was finally captured.
A reception of great enthusiasm was
given the Nebraska orator at Mansfield,
the home of Senator Sherman. The crowd
was large, and it was with difficulty that
the cheering throng could be pressed
back to enable Mr.. Bryan to reach the
temporary speakers stand. Mr.. Bryan
was presented to the perspiring multitude
by James p. Seward a prominent law
yer and chairman of the citizens recep-
tion committee. A wild hurrah went up,
and then Mr.. Bryan made another brief
speech.
Mr.. Bryan returned to the train and
shook hands with many people before
the train left.
A hundred people gathered at Lakeville
and begged for a speech as a reward for
their cheers. Just a few words, Mr..
Bryan" they cried, and although the
crowd was small, and the nominee had
decided to talk as little as possible he
gave way and made few remarks, which
