T1FFIN, o., Oct. 2O.-The trip this morn
ing OF Candidate william j. Bryan through
the Ohio valley district along the banks o.
the Ohio has been punctuated here and ther,
| with cheers for his opponent, and sand
| wiched in the crowds were many badges o
yellow, which indicated that the wearere
! were not friendly to the white metal There
were five stops before Steubenvile was
reached, and at three of them the candidate
addressed the crowd from the rear of the
car. There was a good crowd at Bellaire
and 1t was an enthusiastic one. Mr.. Bryan
| addressed them ten minutes and told them
| that the free coinage OF silver would be a
| benefit to the farmers, the laboring men and
the business men. At Bridgeport the wear.
ers of the yellow badges were numerous. but
the shoutors for the triple nominee were
strong enough to drown the cheers for the
republican candidate. Mr. Bryan spoke to
the crowd OF some hundreds for three min.
utes telling that the fundamental principle
which underies the financial question was
the quantity and not the quality of money
He asked them to study the question and
then vote as their consciences dictated. He
was cheered and applauded. and for the most
part the crowd appeared to be in sympathy
with his remarks. Martins Ferry turned out
a crowd which was to a good extent hostile
to the views OF the candidate There were
gold badges worn by a large portion OF his
audience, and cheers for Mckinley alternated
with cheers for Bryan. Noticing the yellow
badges Mr.. Bryan said that in this country
anybody could take the gold cure who
wanted to, and told the story about the Ne
braska woman who said her brother was a
gold man without any gold. This pleased
the sllvertes, and they applauded vigor-

die away there would be cheers for Mr.. Bry-
ans opponent. There were stops at York
Vile and Brilliant, and at these places Mr..
Bryan simply appeared on the platform and
! acknowledged the cheers given him.
Steubenville was visited yesterday by the
Union generals car and one of the speakers
attacked the pension record of Mr. Bryan.
When the nominee arrived there, he an
swered the statements made by saying he
was better friend of the soldier than those
who wished to submit the financial policy
of this nation to the dictaton of foreign
powers. There was a good-sized crowd
gathered about the car, and in the rear
some boys wearing gold badges kept up a
cheer for Mckinley, which Mr.. Bryan in
| terpreted as an attempt to break up the
meeting.
LOUDEST CHEERS OF THE DAY.
Several hundred people listened to the
nominee at Toronto. There was more en-
thusiasm here than at any other place OF
the morning, taking into consideration the
size OF the crowd They cheered the
speaker and shouted their approval when he
said the gold standard advocates resort to
ambiguous phrases and speak of Sound
money" instead Of telling what they mean
by sound money. One enthusiastic McKin-
leyite bore aloft a portrait of the republican
nominee which was surmounted by cage
in which was confined racoon. The yell
fau an1 t1,A rs1,rn
many and enthusiastic.
Pennsylvania was invaded by Mr.. Bryan
at Rochester, when at noon the train pulled
into that city. 1t was distinctly Bryan
crowd, and 1t showed it's approval OF the
doctrines advocated by Mr.. Bryan by
shouting and cheering and applauding every
time they had an opportunity. Mr.. Bryan
defended that plank of the Chicago plat
form, declaring in favor OF the income tax
and quoted the opinion of Justice Brown in
the income tax case. There were short
stops at New Brighton and Kenwood At
the first place named he addressed crowd
of several hundred, and at Kenwood he APP
peared on the rear platform for few min
utes. He had trouble in making himself
heard, because OF the continuous applause
for his opponent. Mr.. Bryan's speech was
OF the same general tenor as his silver dis
cusson.
Wellsville Columbiana county Ohio. Is in
Major William McKinley's congressional dis
trict and is a republican stronghold. That
was apparent when Mr.. Bryan arrived there
this morning, for while he had large
crowd, IL was made up for the most part of
shouting enthusiastic McKinleyltes, and he
asked them whether they cheered for "the
Mckinley who six years ago wanted more
money, or the Mckinley of this year who
does not want any more money!"
Yellow predomnated at East Liverpool
When shortly after 10 o'clock the democratic
nominee addressed a large crowd at that
place
LARGEST CROWD OF THE DAY.
Mr.. Bryan received a flattering reception
at Youngstown when he arrived at 1:20 this
afternoon. There he found the largest crowd
he had encountered during the day, his ad-
mirers in Youngstown having their numbers
increased from the outlying districts OF
Ohio and Pennsylvania, There were free
silver clubs from Mcdonald, Pa, and from
several points in Ohio. There were several
hundred in line in the procession and from
the depot to the place of speaking, and then
back to the depot again, the nominee re-
ceived continual ovation.
Mr.. Bryan spoke three times in Youngs-
town, the first being from stand erected
in the public square, the next in the opera
house, where he addressed the women, and
tho last near the Pennsylvania depot, where
he spoke from a stand. At each meeting
the crowd was large and very enthusiastic.
At the first speech Mr. Bryan said the dem
ocratic party in this campaign stood for the
financial policy which had the support of
all tho great men OF the nation and of all
tho parties until 1878.
In the next speech at the opera house, Mr..
Bryan said:
fully realize the responsibilities of tho
great Office for which am a candidate, and
/ realize the work that lies before one who
goes into that office, with the determine
tion to bring the government TO its old
foundation which, instead OF making laws
to give some an advantage over the rest OF
the people, simply seeks to secure equal
rights TO all and confer special advantage
to no one | very fully realize the difficult
work that lies before one who goes into
that office with that determination, and !
have been gratlfled beyonc measure to find
the deep interest the people have taken,
suffrage of my countrymen am to enjoy
the highest honors within the gift of men
TO confer shall have behind me the earn
est aye, / may say, the prayerful hearts
of those who still believe that this nation
should still he what our fathers intended
1t to be, a light to the nations of the world.
