patton OF the bankers In the present
campaign. the nominee said:
IF the people who deposit money In
the banks were as tyrannical as some
Of the bankers are with those who owe
them, every bank in this nation would
be closed by the withdrawal Of deposits.
(Great applause.) If those who are in
favor of free coinage were to draw out
their deposits because their bankers are
trying to fasten British yoke upon
them, they would teach them more than
they have learned in twenty yoars at
the feet Of the Rothschilds. Great ap-
plause.) But my friends, you will not
do that, because you know that Il the
people attempted to draw out all their
deposits, the banks would collapse"
At 2:So the party left Huntington,
short stops being made at Catlettsburg,
Greenup. South Portsmouth, Maysville,
Augusta and New Richmond. At each
place Mr.. Bryan was introduced to those
gathered about the train, and at each
place he declined to talk. but intro

substitute. saying he wished to save his
voice for the evening meetings.
IN THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY.
CINCINNATI. Ohio, Oct. 2.-William
Jennings Bryan marched into the heart
OF the "enemy's country" tonight and
addressed three big meetings in this
city. Then he crossed to the Kentucky
shore and spoke to great assemblage
at Covington. 1t was a fitting close to
a most eventful day. From dawn to
DUSK the nominee sped across West Vir-
ginia. from Charleston to the Ohio riv-
er. stopping and speaking at almost ev-
cry town of consequence, and then
along the Kentucky banks to this city
Arriving here at 6:45 o'clock, he was
met by local committee and the mem
bers of the Duckworth club. and was
driven to the Hotel Gibson, where he
ate light supper. Almost Immediately
afterward procession was formed to
Music hall, where the first and biggest
meeting Of the night was held. At the
conclusion Of his speech there he ad-
dressed two other successive meetings
from stands erected at street corners, to
crafty the thousands who could not
gain entrace to the hall.
Then he visited Covington. The vast
hall was SO thickly packed with people
that 1t was next to impossible to move.
The aisles were clogged with standing
men and women.
In the beginning was started what
looked like an attempt to break UP the
meeting, but it was quickly suppressed,
and thereafter the candidates utter
ances were greeted with the utmost en-
thusiasm. The disturbance was Gre
ated by gang Of roughs in the gallery,
f.aN1 ~ L. -
ate trouble.
Mr.. Bryan appeared upon the stage
at S:20 o'clock and the ovation that
greeted his appearance continued for
eight minutes without abatement.
When the applause had subsided Hon.
Louis Remleen. who acted as chairman
of the meeting, attempted to introduce
Mr.. Bryan, but the gallery would rSt
permit him to talk. Hon. Gustave Tefel
then attempted to get something like
order, but with no better success.
Eventually Mr.. Bryan stepped to the
| speakers stand and raised his hand,
as If in mute appeal for silence. For a
moment he was successful, but at the
end of his first sentence the noise in the
upper part Of the house was renewed,
sumo his seat.
Then o. ]. Cosgrove, president Of the
Duckworth club, under whose auspices
the meeting was held, pointed out as
the chief offenders three men, in one Of
| the balconies and asked the police to re-
move them. In doing so he character
ized them as blackguards and entreat-
ed the rest of the audience to give Mr..
! Bryan fair play as fellow American
citizen. This effectually silenced the
crowd and after the trio of belligerents
had been summarily elected Mr. Bryan
| went on with his speech.
The nominee began with declaration
that Notwithstanding the recognized
issue of the campaign was the money
] question, some of his opponents had
sought to raise other questions to "con-
fuse the pblic mind"
He referred to the charge that he was
attempting to disturb order and over
throw the law. He insistek that there
was nothing in the Democratic plat
| form to justify such a charge, and also
that the declaration in favor of an in
come tax could not be considered an at
tempt to discredit the supreme court
There was nothing in the Democratic
platform, he asserted, half as severe
as the minority report entered against
the decision of the majority of the su-
preme court.
Mr.. Bryan asserted that while they
did not dare to attack the arbitration
plank, yet that plank did more to ac-
count for the violent opposition Of the
railroad presidents than all the rest Of
the platform together.
Mr.. Bryan concluded his Music hall
speech as follows:
II have been able within the last few
weeks to carry the standard Of our party
into the portions of the country where
they said there was no silver sentiment
and wherever went found among the
masses the same intense desire for bl-
metallism that you manifest here and is
manifested over all the west and south.
When we speak of bimetallism being
dead in Boston, say to you. my friends.
that in all my travels from the Pacific
ocean to the shores Of the Atlantic and
from the northernmost part of this ma
ton to the Gulf of Mexico, nowhere
have 1 found men more determined,
more loyal and more earnest in their
demand for the gold and silver coinage
of tho Constitution than I fOund in the
