county ha, had more han Its share OF
III luck In bringing off the Cochran
meeting. First \. was scheduled for
last Monday evening ard had to be
postponed urtil last eve-ing on account
OF the speakers iudispos!tion. Then
came thu wash-nulO uu the railroad
which prevented Mr.. Cochran from hll-
Ing his date last evening. Last night
q telegram was received from superin-
tendent Gutter. " the Pittsburgh di-
vision OF the Baltimore & Ohio, from
Cumberland saying Mr.. Cochran would
be here from Pittsburgh this morning
Al Il O'Clock.
Th- bryan Meeting,
In the evening at the state fair
grounds. on the Island. the PopocratIc
pres,dent!ai candidate. hon. William
Jennings Bryan. OF Nebraska. VIII
speak. aio II the Weather Is dt all IA
rorable the indications point 10 II
crowd o. IRON, 10000 tu 10000 people.
As elsewhere. the Wheeling crowd Will
lie very large. This has bre:. the rule
at all of Mr.. Rf,4n's meetings through
out the countly, both cast and west,
but she chances are that he will re-
ce!Ec the votes Of NOT more than one
half OF his audience. Republicans will
be there as thick $ the free silver
Democrats.
II The presidential candidates arrives
at scheduled time he will be lucky, for
he Will encannte: the same trouble
probably. that was encountered by Mr..
Cochran yesterday. He was to have
spoken at Grafton last night. bus up 10
a late hour no Information OF his ar
rival there had been received In Wheel
ing. His programme to-day includes a
speech 1T ClarksbUrS at 10 o'clock this
morning, another, at Parkeysbufg In
the afternoon and al Wheeling this
evening. From Wheeling the candI.
date and his party go 10 Charleston
and Huntington for speeches Io-mJr-
row afternoon ard evening.
The local committee of the poU!1-
Gratis who have the Bryan meeting in
charge have completed their arrange
mSnts with the exception OF 4 few mi.
nor details and are now engaged prin.
.. cipallY In hoping that the weather this
evening will be favorable. The speak
ers' platform has bee erected 10 tn"
east of the tack and an array OF cleo
tric arc lights vii! make the grand
stand and the open ground north and
youth almost as light as day.
The railroads are prepared 20 handle
a great crowd. but the passenger ofN-
Gals say that unless the Weather IS
good no records will b. broken In the
/. carrying OF people to Wheeling. With
good weather. though. the railroads
will bring many thousands OF people
from every direction within a radius
of seventy-fvp or one hundred miles.
The local trS nsp0rtation arrangements
are not yet entirely completed. There
Is barely a chance that Il pontOon
bridge will be built across the river ut
Twelfth street for the accommodation
OF the crowd going from the city side
to the state fair grounds, but II the
rising river prevents this the bridges
and the Charleston and one or two
other ferry boats Will handle tn.
crowds fairly well. The management
Of the oycr-the-river electric railroad
Is making arrangements for the plac-
ing of 4 pontOOn bridge across the back
river at the foot Of the Island. II this
is done the people will be hauled from
tn. towns above and below TO West
Wheeling. whence they will go 10 the
Island via the !mProviscd bridge.
1t was expected that Pittsburgh
would send down several train loads
OF excursionists. but from the follow
ing from yesterdays Pittsburgh Dis
patch 1t would appear that nil Is not
lovely In the Pop0Cratic camp at ttr.
