mitteeman Turner that he would reach the
! Lake Erie port, and the cold raw lake air
sent chill through the candidate as he
left the car, and had largely scattered the
thousands of people who had waited all the
evening for his arrival. There were stlll
from 1900 to 5000 people left, who gather
ed about the Illuminated pagoda in the
| square, and the cheer which greeted the
| democratic leader showed that even the
| frosts of an October night could not chill,
nor the rain dampen the ardor Of the Erie
| county democrats. 1t was many minutes
| before the speakers could be heard. Mr..
Bryan finally mounted the railing his fig
ure silhouetting against the bright electric
| lamp behind him and his deep voice pene-
| tratng the farthest circle OF the crowd
| He told the people that he had been accus-
ed of arraying class against class In this
| contest, and yet these very people had for
years legislated in favor of the bondhold-
| er as against the wealth producer. He con-
| fined himself almost entirely to the money
| question, and spoke for thirty minutes TO
| the crowd, which was apparently being
recruited from every quarter the longer he
| spoke Mrs. Bryan also came down to the
| Sloane house and was received by num-
| Der Of ladies.
The train started at midnight for Tif-
