BRIAN OHIO.
Twenty.fonr Thousand People Listen
TO the Nominee at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND. O.. August 81
Candidate BRYAN has been the object Of
no other demonstration 80 yociferous
and 50 spectacular as that which the
civ Of Cleveland gave him tonight. and
nowhere else, with the possible
exception of New York. have 80 many
people attempted 10 hear him talk.
/ Two great meetings listened 70 Bryan
the first in the Central armory. where
ff. 900 people were packed the second
in Music Hall. which held 5000, and
afterward he spoke TO several thousand
from the balcony of the Hollenden
Hotel. Bands and marching campaign
clubs were numerous about the streets
and With thousands OF strangers N It's
gates the city bore holiday aspect.
Special trains brought out Of town
clubs in during the afternoon. Five
hundred came on one train from
Canton. the members of the Bryan
club of that CITY with their friends;
two trains came from Akron and others
from Cayahooga and other points. For
two or three squares the streets about
the depot were thronged when the
cannon announced the arrival Of the
train on which the candidate came
at 9. 30.
There was a parade to escort him to
the hotel and another after dinner TO
escort him to the hall. The armory
doors were thrown open at ! 0 clock
and fifteen minutes after every foot OF
space was filled to the doors. Not only
were the aisles jammed, but men were
clinging on window stills high up and
hanging in all sorts of impossible places.
An arm holding a hammer, surmounted
with the words, THE friend of labor.
was blazoned across big transparency
in the armory.
When Mr.. Bryan came down on the
stage at 8 o. clock. escorted by l.. /.
Holden, of the Cleveland Plaindealer,
he inspired a fierce cheer. which
continued for three minutes with waving
hats and handkerchiefs, and was
continued all the time the temporary
chairman was trying to work In his
speech.
The armory audience was the largest
Mr.. Bryan has addressed in doors
except the one in Madison Square.
The Music Hall crowd was half as large
and none left the hall. Charles P.
Sale introduced the presidential
candidate at the armory meeting and
Arnold Green at Music Hall. Beside
the speech of the candidate, speeches
were made at the former place by Hon.
NJ. A. Forman and Judge McMath,
but to a decimated audience, and the
Music Hall crowd was entertained by
local orators during its two and a half
hours of waiting In his speeches at
both places Mr.. Bryan devoted himself
mainly to the financial question.

Woodruff and Buchanan.

From the Little Rock Democrat
AS had been expected, the criminal
cases against ex State Treasurer
William E. Woodruff and Rev. S. H.
Buchanan, ex treasurer of the insane
asylum board, were nolle prosecuted at
Perryville, to which place both had
been removed on a change of venue
from this court. The news was
received last night, and will excite no
particular surprise, as Prosecuting
Attorney Pemberton has intimated for
some time that such would be the course
pursued. He stated that he had labored
earnestly and faithfully to secure q
conviction. but that his efforts had all
proven futile, and he did not feel it just
to the tax payers to continue the
burden of expense. 1t was not done,
however. without proper consideration
and consultation with the two circuit
judges. This action does not, Of
course, effect the civil suits growing
out of either case, which may now be
on the dockets of any court.

Bryan Republicans.

CLEVELAND, o., September THE
Bryan. party started for Columbus, o.
today over the Big Four road, escorted
by delegation of capital city politicians
who came here yesterday to attend the

reception at Hollenden. The first
persons received were thirty or forty
members of the Bryan club OF

national convention of 1865, life long
friend of Lincoln, who appointed him tc

To the Democrats OF Arkansas
The Arkansas Democratic State
Central Committee is well assured of a
large Democratic victory at the State
election 10 be held on September 7th !;
but, for the sake of the moral effect
upon the Democrats all over the United
States, the Committee earnestly
requests that every Democrat in
Arkansas viii go to the polls on
September eth and vote for the nominee
of his party. A largely increased
Democratic majority in Arkansas in
September will most assuredly afford
aid and encouragement to the party in
all the states of the Union in the
November election. All persons in
Arkansas who earnestly desire the
election of Bryan and Sewall, and who
really and sincerely believe that the
enactment into law of the great
principles which they champion will
afford relief to the great masses of the
people Of the United States ought not +.
for any small consideration, TO fail 70
avail themselves of this opportunity to
show that they are In earnest in their
professions of faith. A vote for the
Democratic ticket in September viii
beyond doubt, contribute to the election

EVERY man in favor of the free
coinage of silver is in duty bound to
work and vote for the Democratic
County and State ticket. ALI of the
candidates are openly for free coinage,
while on the other hand the Republican
candidates are in favor of a gold
standard alone. The more complete
the Democratic victory on Monday the
grander will be its results in November.
In taking this course no free coinage
