Bryan spent another day in the Buckeye
State, preaching free silver and repudia-
ton. At some places he met a cool recep-
ton, and at others there were very falr-
sized crowds of Popocrats. He did not
reach this city until late -nigh
Mr.. Bryan made his first speech to-day
at Bellaire. Republicans were more numer-
Gus than Popocrats in his audience. Inc
orator told his listeners that free silver
C5o-cent doliars) would be a blessing to the
workingman. the farmer and the business
man. AT Bridgeport yellow badges with
out the word ''n;t") and shouting Repub-
licans were in evidence. At Martins Ferry
gold badges were SO plenty that Mr.. Bryan
said anybody in the country could take
the gold cure who wanted and then re-
peated his stale story about the Nebraska
woman who said her brother was a gold
man without any gold. Brief stops were
made at Yorkville and Brilliant, but the
candidate did not speak. AT Steubenville,
where one of General Ayers party at
tackled Mr.. Bryan's pension record yester-
day. a fair crowd was assembled. a few
hoodlums near the speakers stand Kept
shouting for Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan said:
II hear one of our friends who believe
in free speech over there suggesting Mex
leo. When people tell you that Mexico has
free silver you will remember that turkey
has been one of the longest standing gold
standard countries and if l had to choose
between the standard of Mexico and the
standard Of Turkey / would go and live
in Mexico before l would risk living in
Turkey
Here there was Il disturbance on the out
skirts OF the crowd and Mr.. Bryan said,
MY friends, / am surprised at these in
~terruptions. You show me Il man that be-
lieves in a gold standard and I will show
you a man who is afraid of public discus
sion because the gold standard dare not
meet pubic discussion. We are leaving
those who accuse us of being Anarchists
to interfere with public meetings and to
Germs every man, woman and child in the
United States The speaker then defended
his record on the pension question.

Mckinleyite bore aloft a portrait of the
Republican nominee which was surmounted
by a cage in which was confined d rae

When Wellsville was reached the Popo-
cratic candidate found awaiting him a big
crowd of Republicans. Wellsvillle is in Nc
kinleys congressional district and Mr..
Bryan was treated to a display of McKin-
ley enthusiasm. He made a brief speech.
in which he asked the Republicans wheth-
of 1890 or the Mckinley of 1896.
At East Liverpool, the city of potteries.
there was so much cheering for Mckinley
tLat Mr.. Bryan's voice was drowned by the
h~urrahs, The next stopping place was at
