beon held two hours for Mr.. Bryan's
accom- mediation.
At Bridgeport, the second stop Of
tho morning was made. Fifteen hun
dred people, some Of whom had been
waiting since daybreak, hoard him.
Mckinley badges were the most con-
spicuous objects in the crowds at
Bridgeport and Martins Forty. At the
latter place terrace beside the track
was covered with them. Some people
had half dozen Of the insignias pinned
on their coats others had their hats
decorated with the symbols Of tho gold
standard.
A sortie into Maj. McKinley's old
Congressional district was the most
interesting feature OF Candidate
Bryan's last day in Ohio, which ended
with Il speech at Sandusky, several
hours bohind tho timo called for by the
program. Tho loyalty OF tho Ropubll-
can candidates. former district was
manifested ut several places by demon
strations intended to cOuntcract the
enthusiasm for the Democratic nomi-

political feelings was the samc at every
place where such demonstrations oc.

Within tho district al which Mr.. Bryan
spoke, the attempt to offset any in
ilucuce. his appearance and speech
might have was particularly marked.
Yellow badges, yellow nccktics, yellow
hat bands with yellow streanors tied
to brooms and yellow flags were nu-
merous. Cheers for Mckinley were
heard frequently and MIR. Bryan's ad-
dress was interrupted SO often that
| he finally turned on his annoycrs ana
addressed some very vigorous remarks
intended for their benefit. This rallied
his supporters and they chccred him
with u hcartiness that made him UNI
dcrstand that his standard had still
plenty OF followers. 1t was the same

Martins Ferry also furnished gather
ings lii which tho insignia Of the gold
standard was prominently displayed.
The earlier part of Mr.. Bryan's trip
brought him to places along tho west
bank of the Ohio river. He made q
little foray into Pennsylvania and
spoke at Rochester and New Brighton
In that State.
Youngstown gave him his greatest
reception, at least twenty thousand
being in one Of the three audiences he
addressed there. His speeches num-
berod twenty-onc and were delivered
at Belare, Martins Ferry, Bridge
town, Steubenvilic, Toronto, Wells
villo, East Liverpool, Rochester Pa,
New Brighton, Pa. Young gstown (threc
timcs), Alliance, Ravenna, Kent, Ak
ron (two) Medina, Elryia and Sandusky
(two).
Gold badges were noticeable in the
throng 'of 5000 at Steubenvjllc, but
not nearly SO numerous as at Bridge
port and Martins Ferry. Some young
men who wore the yellow interrupted
the speech several times and MIR.
Bryan answered their comments
with some display OF feeling. "My

and | will show you a man who is
afraid of public discussion, because the
gold standard dare not meet public
discussion. (Chccrs). We are leaving

(Cheers.)
Mr.. Bryan had been told that one OF
the Generals" " had said at Stcubcn-
vile that the Democratic nominee had
declared in tho House Of Representa-
tivcs that the pension roll was not Il
roll OF honor, and in beginning lis
speech there he said:
