Sept 1.-The two spe- cial cars provided for MT. and Mrs. Bryan and the Columbus contingent were not sufficient to accommodate the many committeeman and others who made the trip and It was found neces- sary during the long delay in the sta- ton at Cleveland to add another car. While the special was waiting in the station at Cleveland a new campaign the car where MT. and Mrs. Bryan were helding an informal reception. Before the train had finally cleared the yards a crowd of railroad men, most of them in greasy overalls, gathered around the car and MT. Bryan came out to greet them. One of them, referring to the alleged pressure on workingmen to vote the republican ticket, yelled, They may drive horse to water, but they cannot make him drink"
 The application of the proverb was caught up and was loudly cheered,
 The many workmen from the big rail- road shops on the outskirts shouted heartily as the train went by.

 The first wayside speech of the day was made at Shelby and it was a very brief one. There was @ gathering of some five hundred people at the sta- tion. The candidate and his wife went on the rear platform and were cheered MT. Bryan was called on for speech He said:
 ''If I had tke time and strength I would like to make silver speech, but owing to the fact that I am scarcely able to do so now I want to furnish a substitute and I will appoint each one of you to make a silver speech on elec- tion day, when you come to vote You might forget what I would say to-day, but we will not forget what you shall say when you come to make your speech" (Cheers)
 Columbus, O., Sept 1.-Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and the members of the Colum- bus reception committee took dinner at Crestline. Twenty minutes were spent there, and when the candidate returned to his car he was followed by several hundred curious people who gave a cheer as the train drew out Much enthusiasm was shown at Gallon, where 1,500 people assembled when the train at 2:15 stopped long enough to allow Mir and Mrs Bryan to be intro duced as "the hero of our generation, Bryan of Nebraska" In response to calls for a speech he said:
 "Out of consideration of my voice they agree to let me off with one word, and I have been trying to think of some one word that will express all that I want to express and I think I have it. It is fight" (Cheers) I believe that the masses of the people are interested in the policies set forth in our platform and that the only way to secure these policies is to vote for them, to fight for them If we fight we will win. If we are not willing to fight we do not de- serve to win. I thank you" (Cheers.)
 At Delaware there was much en- thusiasm and brass band. The larg- est crowd on the route was gathered there and the cheering was led by the members of the local silver club. More than thousand people were in the throng that fought for places near the rear platform on which the candidate stood and made frantic endeavors to shake his hand. There was no time for speech, but as the train moved on there were hearty cheers given for the democratic candidate. A young man who entered the car at one of the sta tions succeeded in getting a moments interview with the candidate.
 T am a republican" he said, "but I am going to vote for you, MT. Bryan. I have a son christened after Major Mckinley, but that was six years ago when Mckinley believed in silver"
 Mir. and Mrs Bryan reached Colum- bus at 3:30. The candidate was cheer ed by thousands at the railway station and by thousands along the miles of streets through which he was taken, escorted Inv the Franklin CoI1Otv Silx,a,.
