crowds he addressed, but also on ac-
count of his new founua ggressiveness.
AT Delphi he refuted the charge of eM-
President Harrison that when he spoke
of those who had been saving the coun-
try for thirty years, at SO much per
save, that he alluded to the old veter-
ans On a platform erected within a
few yards of the home of General Lew
Wallace he replied in vigorous language
to the author of Ben Hur," who, in a
speech made some time g alluded to
Mr.. Bryan as al anarchist. At Lafay-
cite he denied the statement of eX-
President Harrison, made yesterday at
Salem, that the present conditions are
that we are a bimetallic country" He
said that that statement meant that,
having been defeated in this campaign
on a gold standard, the republicans are
trying to get under the cover of bimets
allism and claim that their platform is
& fraud. There was a greater absence
of yellow badges in the crowds, and al
every place where the candidate spoke
he had large and enthusiastic audi
ences. The same trouble was expert
enced as was encountered the day be-
fore in regard to the delaying of the
train al different places, and the result
was that when Terre Haute was reached
the train was nearly two hours late.
There was a repetition Of the morn
Ing at Delphi, when after i o'cloc the
Bryan party arrived at that place.

Bryan addressed the enthusiastic gath
erlng, and in addition to quoting what
Mr.. Mckinley had said six years
on silver and citing from the republican
platform upon which Mr.. Harrison was
elected, In support of his silver theories,
Mr.. Bryan mada a strong appeal to
those present to support the silver re-
publican nominated for mgr n
Endorsed by the populists n democrats
on their ticket. Ex-Congressman Jo-
seph Cheadle, he said, should be elect
ed, and. although Mr.. Bryan declared
that he had always been a democrat, he
said that he had rather vote for a re-
publican who is for free silver than to
vote for a man who has been a democrat
who is now a plutocrat. This statement
was received with great applause.
Replies to Harrison.
At Delphi Nj. Bryan took occasion
te reply to some extent to the speech
made by eX-President Harrison
Wednesday, in which the ex-president
quoted he language used in regard to
the syndicate, which had as he claimed
first driven the nation into an extremity
and then saved it every few months at
SO much per save. He told the people of
Delphi that he was helping Congress-
man Joseph Cheadle, who was an old
soldier. and at the same time MI. Har-
rison was doing his utmost to defeat
him.
Frankfort turned out a large crowd
| and was Str1nly q ranofitinp nf tho
scene along the road.
The crowds at Lafayette were enor-
nous. They ran up in the tens of
thousands and We're enthusiastic to a
great extent. His appearance on the
balcony of the court house was the sig
nal for wild cheering. Here he spoke
from three sides of the court house and
at each sid the streets were packed.
Ex-President Harrison came in for an
other touch up there.
1t was at Charlottesville that the sem
sation of he day occurred, and at that
meeting Mr.. Bryan made his declara-
ton that he was ready to put his pa
triotism against the patriotism of any
man on earth who indorses the republic
can platform.
A short stop of ten minutes was made
at Lagoda, and at Roachdale the nomi-
nee appeared on the back platform and
and excused himself from making a
speech by saying that the nominee for
congress, Mr.. Ridpath, had spoken DUR
ing the day, and consequently it was
not necessary for him to speak.

Bryan was received by a crowd OF

Terre Haute Ind, Oct. 23.-The cnthusi-
ast.c meeting of the evening in this city
was a fitting close for the enthusiastic
day. The reception here was one of he
greatest, if not the greatest, of the day,
and the ovation given the candidate was
fiattering in the extreme. He was met at
the depot by members of the Jackson club
and when he reached his carriage that or
gan.zat.on acted as a guard of honor in
the procession which. followed. Mr.. Bryan
addressed two meetings last night in Terre
Haute. The first was from a platform
erected from the entrance to the court
house, and here the largest crowd of the
evening was assembled. 1t was an as
sembly in sympathy with his utterances
and 1t applauded and cheered at every OPP
%portunity.
The speech was about the same as given
at other places. With a touch of sarcasm
he referred to the opposing candidate by
saying that he, Mr.. Bryan, had been crit
cised for not sitting on his porch and al
lowing the people to come to him, and said
in these gold standard times the very peo-
pie would most desire to cDme are the
people who could not come unless they
walked. This pleased his listeners and
they cheered tho remark Justify. Mark
Hanna also came i'll for a small sized dig
near the close of the speech.
At the second meeting, back of the Terre
Haute hotel, the candidate spoke to an
other large mass of congested humanity.
sThe chairman Of the meeting read a letter
from Daniel w. Voorhees,, expressing his
| regrets, and that ep.stle was cheered
;abundantly. Then Mr.. Bryan was pre-
sented with the last part of the equipment
for the signing of the free silver bill, pro-
'v.ded he does sign one. 1t was a silver blot
ting pad, presented by the progressive
.workmen Of Terre Haute." In his speech
the candidate paid a glowing tribute to the
senior senator OF this state, Mr.. Voorhees,.
and then thanked organized labor for the
token of their confidence and respect. He
said that he was glad that the entire
equipment came from the labor.ng men,
and he then proceeded to point out the adj
.vantages Of bimetallism to the wage earn
ers. AT the beginning OF his address he
said that this city was known throughout
the land as the home Of the distinguished
representative of organized labor, Mr..
Debs, and the mention of the American
Railway union man brought fourth great
applause. His speech then proceeded
along the lines trayersed by him before.
