Birmingham state herald., 1896-09-02

 - " bus delegation, headed by Chairman Dan McConville of the Ohio state central com mittee. The train left for Columbus at F o'clock.
 The two special cars provided for MT. and Mrs. Bryan and the Columbus con- tingent were not sufficient to accommo- date the many committeeman and others who made the trip and it was found nee essary during the long delay in the sta tion at Cleveland to add another car. Among those in the party were Daniel McConville, chairman of the state demo- ocratic executive committees; Dewitt c. Jones, chairman of the Columbus recep- ton committee; James Ross, chairman of the Franklin county reception commit tee; Gen. E. l.. Powell, Dr. B. R. Cornell 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 pick-pockets 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 MT. and Mrs Bryan were holding an informal reception. One of the verses ran in this way:
 Our country heavily mortgaged,
 Mortgaed by men in Lombard and Wall
 streets;
 We'll pay them in American silver,
 No longer we'll kneel at their feet, Sing tn ra la, tu ra lu.'
 Before the train had finally cleared the yards a crowd of railroad men gathered around the car and MT. Bryan came out to greet them. One of them, referring to the alleged pressure on working men to vote the republican ticket, yelled out: They may drive horse to water, but cannot make him drink" The applica- tion 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.
 MT. Bryan's itinerary has been changed again. Instead of leaving Chicago Sep tember he will speak there on Labor Day, September T. and leave the same day for Lincoln. The date of his arrival In Chicago is uncertain.
 As at present arranged MT. Bryan will leave Columbus tomorrow morning at 715 o'clock over the Big Four and is due to reach Springfield at S:45 a. m. He will remain there to make a speech and will leave at Il a. m. for Kenton, which will be reached at ? p. m by special train. Half an hour will be spent at Kenton, where the candidate has promised to make an address. The special train will pass through Findlay and Bowling Green
 
 ing Toledo Thursday morning, MT. Bryan will go through Michigan to Ekhart, Ind, where he will speak that afternoon, thence to South Bend for a speech that night. From South Bend to Chicago the route is uncertain. MT Bryan has prom ised to be in Lincoln Tuesday, September $, to receive the notification committee of the national silver party, which in- dorsed his nomination and that of MT. Sewall.
 Mir. and Mrs. Bryan and the members of the Columbus reception committee took dinner at Crestline, one of the places where MT. Bryan made a speech on his Journey from Lincoln to New York last month. Twenty minutes were spent there, and when the candidate returned to his car he was followed by several hundred curious people, who gave a cheer as the train drew out.
 Considerable enthusiasm was shown at Galcion, where about 1900 people assem- bled when the train at 2:15 stopped long enough to allow MT. and Mrs. Bryan to show themselves to the people and for MT. Bryan to be introduced as "The hero of oNr generation, Bryan of Nebraska" In response to calls for speech, he said:
 Out of consideration for the condition of my voice they agree to let me off With one word, and I have been trying to think of some one word that will express all I want to express and think l have J I believe that the masses of the people are interested in the policies 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. I thank you" Cheers and efforts to shake hands with husband and wife.)
 Enthusiasm and a brass band were much in evidence at Delaware. The largest crowd along the route was gath. cred there, and the cheering was led by the members of the local silver club. More than 1000 people were in the throng that fought for places near the rear plat form. on which the candidate stood, and made frantic endeavors to shake his hands.
 There was no time for a speech, but as the train moved on there were hearty cheers given for the democratic candi- date
 An amusing incident was furnished by A young man who entered the car at one of the stations and succeeded in getting a moments interview with the candidate. q am a republican" he said, but i! am going to vote for you, MT. Bryan. nave a son christened after Major Mckinley, but that was six years ago, when McNln- ley believed in silver"
 The first wayside speech of the day was made at Shelby, and 1t was a very brief one. There was a gathering of some 300 people at the station. The can didate and his wife went on the rear platform and were cheered. MT. Bryan said: eff had the time and strength would like to make silver speech, but owing to the fact that am scarcely able to do so now want to appoint substi- ute, and I will appoint each one of you to make a silver speech on election day when you come to vote. You might for get what would say today, but we will not forget what you shall say when you come to make your speech" Cheers and applause.)
