Pennsylvania was invaded by NJ.
Bryan at Rochester, when at noon the
train pulled into that city. 1t was dis
tinctly Bryan crowd, and it showed its
approval of the doctrines advocated by
Mr. Bryan by shouting and cheering
and applauding every time there was an
opportunity.
William Jennings Bryan received a
f1attering reception at Youngstown.
There he found the largest crowd he
had encountered during the day, his
admirers in Youngstown having their
numbers increased from the outlying
districts Of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
There were free silver clubs there from
Mcdonald, Pa, and from several points
in Ohio. There were several hundred
in line in the procession, and from the
depot to the places of speaking and then
back to the depot again, the nominee re-
ceived continual ovation. Mr.. Bryan
II,
first being from a stand erected in the
public square, the next in the opera
house, where he addressed the women,
and the last near the Pennsylvania de-
pot, where he spoke from a carriage.
At each meeting the crowd was large
and very enthusiastic. At the first
speech Mr.. Bryan said the Democratic
party in this campaign stood for the
financial policy which had the support
of all the great men Of the nation and
of all the parties until 1873. Mr.. Bryan
said he desired to call attention to the
words Of distinguished Republican,
not western man because 1t might he
said he lived too far west to understand
finance.
Continuing he said: want to quote
from Thurlow Weed. You will find the
language which I quote on page 535 Of
the second volume of the Life of Thur
low Weed, published by his grandson,
Thurlow Weed Barnes. Here is what
Mr.. Weed said: I'VE are stigmatized as
silver infiationists for asking the gov-
ernment to re-establish financial basis
under which the country and the people
were prosperous and happy for more
than eight years. This question,
stripped Of sophistry and verbiage, pre-
sents a naked issue Of capital against
labor; Shylocks, over-rapacious, are
struggling to keep up the rate of
issuance; in maintaining one standard
thus narrowing our specie basis one
half. they strengthen and perpetuate
their advantages. There has been, as
there ever must be between the thous-
ands who labor and the hundreds who
enjoy the fruits of such labor. an ir-
repressible conflict"
Mr.. Bryan was then presented with
an immense basket of white and yellow
chrysanthemums in punches of sixtee1
white ones to one yellow one The pre-
sentation was made by two little girls
dressed in white and yellow. Mr. Bryan
acknowledged the gift.
The last speech at Youngstown was
delivered to laboring men near the de-
pot who had congregated there in such
numbers that. the candidate could not
make his way from the carriage to the
platform. He spoke about the attempt
of the railway companies to coerce their
employees, and said the position taken
by the railway magnates was not on ac-
count of the Chicago platform declar-
ing for free silver but because of the
declaration for arbitration and against
government by injunction. His re-
marks were enthusiastically received,
by the demonstrations Of approval of
his audience.
The next stop was in the country in
which resides the Republican nominee.
1t was at Alliance, and there several
thousand people listened to the Demo-
cratic candidate for twenty minutes.
1t was an appreciative crowd and ap-
plauded the speaker often. The speech
was workingmen's speech and was de-
livered to an audience composed for the
most part of worlxingmen
There was another big cr1vd at Ra-
VIENNA, where Mr. Bryan received an en-
thusiastic welcome. He spoke for five
minutes.
At Kent there was a repetition of the
crowd at Ravenna, and to those assem-
bled Mr.. Bryan appealed to study the
question Of money and not let any one
else do their thinking for them, and to
vote as they thought best.
The arrangements at Akron were bad.
The candidate could not even get the
carriage provided for him, but had to
catch one on the outskirts of the town.
After leaving Warren Mr.. Bryan ad-
dressed enthusiastic crowds at Medina.
Elyria and Sandusky The latter place
was reached late at night and then the
candidate found he was billed for an
other speech or two at Tiffin. It was
early in the morning when they arrived
there and Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Bryan had been speaking since
o'clock this morning and retired atZanes-
vile after o'clock this morning, he was
dragged out to speak to large crowd.
