| Bryan's Programme.
Cleveland, o., Sept. 1.-Ar. and Mrs
Bryan held a reception in the parlors of
the Hollenden this morning, and the can
didate appeared fresh, considering his
work of last night.
Mrs. Bryan said to the Southern Asso-
| ciated Press representative that she
thought the demonstration of last night
was the greatest she had seen on the
trip, not excepting that at Chicago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, accompanied by
L. E. Hollenden and Charles P. Salen,
were driven to the union station, where
a special car was attached to Big Four
train No. 23. Mr.. Bryan was received at
the train by the Columbus delegation,
headed by Chairman Dan McConville of
! the Ohio state central committee. The
train left for Columbus at 12 o'clock.
! Crestline, o., Sept. 1.-The two special
cars provided for Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and
the Columbus contingent were not suffl-
cient to accommodate the many commit
teemen and others who made the trip,
and it was found necessary during the
long delay in the station at Cleveland to
add another car. Among those in the
| party besides Daniel McConville, chair
man of the state democratic executive
committee. were Dewitt c. Jones' chair
| Of 1,a
! tee; James Ross chairman of the Frank
| lin county reception committee; Gen. T.
! r. Powell, Dr. B. r. Connell and State
| Secretary Pierce of the United Mine
| Workers Association. The Ross double
| quartette of Columbus was also of the
party, and a detective was on board to
look after the safety of the candidate
| and to watch for the gang OF pickpockets
who are following his party.
While the special train was waiting In
| the station at Cleveland a new campaign
song was sung by the Ross quartette.
| in the car where Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
were holding an informal reception. One
! of the verses ran in this way:
"Our country is heavily mortgaged,
! Mortgaged by men in Lombard and Wall
| street;
Wen pay them in American silver,
No longer Wen kneel at their feet"
|
Before the train had finally cleared the
yards a crowd of railroad men. most OF
| them in greasy overalls, gathered around
the car, and Mr.. Bryan came out to greet
| them One Of them, referring to the al
| legged pressure on workingmen to vote the
republican ticket, yelled out: "They may
| drive a horse to the water; but they can't
make him drink" The application of the
proverb was caught up and was loudly
| cheered.
| The many workmen from the big rail-
road shops on the outskirts of the city
shouted heartily as the train went by.
Br. Bryans itinerary has been changed
again Instead of leaving Chicago Sept.
| T. he will speak there on Labor day, Sept.
Z. and leave the same day for Lincoln.
| The date of his arrival in Chicago Is un-
| certain.

Lincoln Tuesday, Sept. 8, to receive the
notification committee OF the national sill
yer party, which indorsed his nomination,
and that Of Mr.. Sewall
The first waysde speech of the day was
made at Shelby and 1t was a very brief
one There was a gathering of some five
hundred people at the station. The candi-
date and his wife went ON the rear plat
form and we're cheered. Mr.. Bryan was
called on for a speech. He said: "If had
the time and strength I would like to make
a silver speech, but owing to the fact that
/ am scarcely able to do so now, / want
to furnish a substitute and / will appoint
each one of you to make a silver speech
ON election day, when you come to vote.
You might forget what would say to-day,
hut we will not forget what you shall say
when you come to make your speech.
Cheers and applause)
Columbus, o., Sept. 1.-Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan and the members of the Columbus
reception committee took dinner at Crest
line, one Of the places where Mr.. Bryan
made a speech on his journey from Lin
coin to New York last month. Twenty
minutes were spent there, and when the
candidate returned to his car he was fol-
lowed by several hundred people, who
gave cheer as the train drew out.
Considerable enthusiasm was shown at
Gallon, where about 1900 people assem-
bled when the train, at 2;15, stopped long
enough to allow Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan TO
show themselves to the people, and for
Mr.. Bryan to he introduced as 1.-The hero
of our generation, Bryan Of Nebraska
In response to calls for a speech he
cried: "Out Of consideration for the con-
dition OF my voice they agree to let ms
off with one word, and ] have been try
ing to think Of some one word that will ex-
press all that I want to express, and
think I have It. 1t is Flight" Cheers
and laughter) / believe that the masses
of the people are interested In the poll
cies set forth in our platform, and that
the only way for them to secure these
policies Is to vote for them, to fight for
them. If we fight we will win. / thank
YOU" (Cheers and efforts to shake hands
with husband and wffe.)
