BUFFALO, Aug. CIV. j. Bryan and
party rose early this morning and en-
joyed a drive about the state reserva-
tion in the cool dawn. At o'clock they
were aboard a train to take them to
Hornelsvile, where the chief speech
of the day was made. In this city the
populace crowded about the car, eager
to see the Democratic candidate.
The trip to Hornellsville was without
speechmaking. Crowds were collected
at the stations along the route. Hor-
nellsville was reached at :15 a. m., and
about 1000 people, headed by bands, We're
in waiting opposite the depot. A ban
ner with the portSaits of the Democrat
ic candidates was displayed. On the
banner We're the words: candidates
of the toilers. We protest against any
foreign power legislating for this coun-
try
A procession was formed which es-
corted Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan to the resi-
dence of Alderman C. A. Doleson, where
they were entertained.
In the afternoon Mr.. Bryan spoke at
the fair grounds. where the Hornells-
Vile exposition is in progress.
Mr.. Bryan, by way OF introduction,
explained that he believed it was the
duty of public speakers to help their
audiences to understand the merits of
the questions at issue in the campaign,
to come out to the light and make every
thing clear.
Continuing. he said: When find a
man talking about an honest dollar I
am afraid he loves darkness rather than
light, because his purposes are evil. and
l find that our opponents are taking their
arguments from people who have no.

pose in obscurity.. Let me call your
attention to something you will find at
the top of the first column of the first
page of a Buffalo paper today, under
great big. black headlines: Ready to

there is a correspondent, who does not

going to happen. Now, that is the sort
of literature that is being spread before
the American people. Why don't men
who are giving opinions give their

the man ever gave such an opinion
and If he ever gaveit, what his opinion
is worth? I call your attention to this
because you can see what an unsubstan-

citizens. Let us give you another evil
