SteubinviIle, O., Oct 20.-The trip this
morning Of Candidate William }. Bry-
an through the Ohio valley district
along the banks of the Ohio, has been
one punctured here and there with
cheers for his opponent and sandw1ched
in the crowds were many badges OF that
color which indicated that the wearerS
were not so friendly to the white metal
as they could have been There were
five stops before this place was reach
ed. and at three of them the candl-
date addressed the crowd from the rear
of the car There was good crowd
at Bellaire, and it was an enthusiastic
one. Mr.. Bryan addressed them for III
teen minutes and told them that the free
coinage OF silver would be benefit
to the farmer, the laboring man and the
business man, using practically the
same argument to substantate thaI
Statement as employed by him Oh other
occasions.
At Bridgeport, the wearers Of the
shouters for the triple nominee were
strong enough to drown the cheers for
the Republican candidate. Mr.. Bryan
spoke to the crowd Of some hundreds
for three minutes, telling them that the
fundamental principle which underlies
the financial question was the guam
tity and not the quality of money He
asked them TO study the question and
thSn vote as their consciences dictated
He was cheered and applauded and for
the most part, the crowd appeared to be
In sympathy with his remarks.
SAME OLD JOKE.
Martins Ferry turned out a crowd
which was to good extent hostile to
the views Of the candidate. There were
gold badges worn by a large portion of
his audience and cheers for Mckinley
Rfternated with cheers for Bryan. No
ticing the yellow badges, Mr.. Bryan said
that in this country anybody could take
the gold cure who wanted 10, and told
the story about the Nebraska woman
who said her brother was gold man
without any gold. This pleased the sill
verites and they applauded vigorously
ana as soon as their applause would die
away there would be cheers for Mr..
Brryan's opponent.
There were stops at Yorkville and
Brilliant, and at those places Mr. Bry-
an simply appeared on the platform and
acknowledged the receptions given him.

was visited yesterday by 1.-THE gener-
ais car and one Of the speakers at

an When the nominee arrived there ne
answered the statements made, by say
inc hx, was better friend OF the soldier
than those who wished TO submit the IL
nanctal policy of this nation to the die
tatfon of foreign powers. There was a
eood-sized crowd gathered about the
car and in the rear some boys wearing
gold badges kept up a cheer Tor NC
Kinley which Mr.. Bryan interpreted as
an attempt to break up the meeting. he
referred TO them as follows: near
one OF our friends who believes IN free
snaech over there suggesting Mexico.
When people tell you That Mexico has
free silver you will remember that Tur-
kew has been one Of the long-standing
gold standard countries and y L had TO
choose between the standard of Mexico
and tie standard of Turkey L would go
and live in Mexico before / would risk
living In Turkey
Here Mr.. Bryan was interrupted by
disturbances created by several young
men on the outskirts OF the crowd. He
said. MY friends, am surprised at
this interruption. You show me man
that believes IN gold standard and |
Will show You a man who is afraid of
discussion, because the gold standard
dare not meet public discussion. We are
leaving those who accuse us of being
anarchists. to interfere with public
meetings and to prevent discussion of
IN issue that concerns every man, yo-
man and child in the United States"
