Cincinnati, Oct. 2.-William ]. Bryan
marched into the heart Of the enemy's
country tonight and addressed three
big meetings In this city. Then he
crossed to the Kentucky shore and
spoke to a great assemblage at Coving-
ton. II was a fitting close to a most
eventful day. From dawn to dusk the
nominee sped across West Virginia,
from Charleston TO the Ohio river, stop
ping and speaking at almost every
town of consequence and then along
the Kentucky banks to this city. Ar
riving here at 6:45 o'clock he was met
by a local committee and the members
of the Duckworth club. and was driven
TO the Hotel Gibson, where he ate a
light supper Almost immediately AFT
edward a procession was formed 10
Music hall, where the first and biggest
meeting OF the night was held. At the
conclusion of his speech there heN

gain entrance to the hail.
Then he visited Covington. The vast
hall was SO thickly packed with peo-
pie that II was next to impossible TO
move. In the beginning was started
| what looked like an attempt to break
up the meeting, but 1t was quickly
suppressed and thereafter the candi-
dates utterances were greeted with the
utmost enthusiasm. The disturbance
was created by a gang of roughs In the
gallery and while 1t lasted 1t threaten

| to remove them. In doing 50, he char

treated the rest of the audience to give
Mr.. Bryan fair play as fellow Ameri-
can citizen. This effectually silenced
the crowd and after the trio OF bellig-
i erents had been summarily elected,
MIR. Bryan went on with his speech.
The nominee began with a declara-
ton that, Notwithstanding the recog-
nized issue Of the campaign was the
money question some Of his opponents
had sought to raise other questions to
confuse the public mind" He referred
to the charge that he was attempting
to disturb or overthrow the law. He
insisted that there was nothing In the
democratic platform to justify such q
charge. and also that the declaration In
favor of an income tax could not be
considered an attempt to discredlt the
supreme court. There was nothing in
the democratic platform, he asserted.
half as severe as the minority report
entered aginst the decision OF the ma
iority Of the supreme court. The nomi-
nee then reread extracts from the
speech made by Lincoln In 1857 in
criticism OF the supreme court and re-
asserted his opinion that the supreme
court was taking the same position
that Lincoln took.
let me suggest to you. my friends,
reason for the opposition OF some OF
those railroad presidents which they
themselves do not support. They op-
pose our platform not much because
ii declares for free c. lage-they can
stand free coinage, y object to II
because we demand nat, instead of
/ -
troubles, we shall have a reason to
settle them. They say We are not In
favor Of law and order / say that we
are the ones who desire peaceable
solution of all questions and they are
the ones who always appeal to force
and deny justice when they do II"
Mr.. Bryan asserted that while they
did not dare to attack the arbitration
plank, yet that plank did more to ac-
count for the violent opposition OF the
railroad presidents than all the rest of
the platform together. He added:
There Is another plank In there that
they find faul with. but they don't say
much about IL, and that Is the plank
where we protest against government
by Injunction and In favor of the bill
that passed the senate to protect peo-
pie who are arrested for contempt
Now, my friends. don't want any
democratic or any silver advocate 10
attempt to coerce his employe. AS the
nominee of those who favor silver
want TO say now that the silver ddvo.
cate who coerces his employees Is nc
friend of mine, because I want nc
vote that is not rightly mine. When
want the votes of railroad employees
do not go to the presidents of the in
stitutions and bargain with them to de.
liver those votes" Great applause
and cheers.)
