into Major McKinley's old Congressional
district was the most interesting feature
of Candidate Bryan's last day in Ohio.
which ended with a speech at Sandusky
tonight several hours behind the time
called for by the programme. The loyalty
of the Republican candidates former
Congressional district was manifested at
several places by demonstrations intended
to counteracJ the enthusiasm for the
Democratic nominee. The manner in
which the supporters OF the ST. Louis
ticket showed their political feelings was
the same at every place where such DEM
onstrations occurred.
At Wellsvllie, the first town within the
district at which Mr.. Bryan spoke, the at
tempt to offset any influence his appear
ance and speech might have was particu-
larly marked. Yellow badges, yellow
neckties, yellow hat-bands, with yellow
streamers tied to brooms and yellow flags,
were numerous. Cheers for Mckinley
were heard frequently and Mr.. Bryan's
address was interrupted so often that he
finally turned on his annoyers and ad-
dressed some very vigorous remarks in
tended for their benefit. This rallied his
supporters and they cheered him with
heartiness that made him understand his
standard had still plenty followers.
1t was the same at East Liverpool,
where gold-hued personal adornment was
practiced to quite as large an extent.
Bellaire and Martins Ferry also furnished
gatherings in which the insignia of the
gold standard was prominently displayed.
The earlier part of Mr.. Bryan's trip to-day
brought him to places along the west bank
of the Ohio River. He made little foray
into Pennsylvania and spoke at Rochester
and New Brighton in that State. Youngs-
town gave him his greatest reception, at
least $500 being in one of the three audi
ences he addressed there.
His speeches mum bered twenty-one and
were delivered at Bellaire, Martins Ferry,
Bridgetown. Steu enville, Toronto, Wells
VILE, East Liverpool, Rochester, Pa, New
Brighton, Pa, Youngstown (three), ALI
ance Ravenna, Kent, Akron (two), Medi-
ma, Elyria and Sandusky (two).
1t was consid cred silver dav in Youngs-
town and the city was crowded with Wis.,
itors, who came to hear Mr.. Bryan ex-
pound the free-coinage doctrine. Several
of the silver clubs from many places in
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania brought
with them large contingents OF excursion
lists ready to do all the cheering necessary
TO make the occasion a success. As on
yesterday, the elaborate programmes ar
ranged at some of the places where M
Bryan spoke earlier IN the day caused de-
lays, which made the candidates special
nearly three hours late in reaching
Youngstown. Mr.. Bryan spoke first to an
audience of fully co. 600 in Central square.
Mayor Moore presented him. In this vast
assemblage, a transparency borne by
Il, fun
splcuous by its inscription, which said:
''Even the Bishops cannot prevent US from
voting for the poor mans iriend.''
MIR. Bryan told his audience not to go
into private conversations, but to take his
four years OF Congressional life to see If
single instance could be found where his
vote had been recorded against the inter-
ests of the laboring men. Continuing, he
said:
dency this year has been in public lie and n
public life he has discussed the money
question. At Toledo in this State in 1891
he denounced the administration OF Mr.
Cleveland on the grounds that Mr.. Cleveland
had tried 10 degrade silver to lessen currency,
to make money dear by making 1t scarce, to
make money the master OF ali things ins tead of
servant Ny friends, repeat to-day what Mr.
Mckinley said five years ago; l repeat to-day
what was true then and denounce the policy
to-day, while he has turned about and is sup
porting the financial policy of Grover Cleve-
land. [Cheers."1 II Mr.. Cleveland was wrong
then, then Mr.. Mckinley is wrong to-day. If
Mr.. Cleve and right in 1891 then we are
right to-day in standing by our position. My
friends, do not mean to say that a man mas
not the right to change his mind. / believe
that a man ought to change his mind when he
finds that be has been wrong, but l believe
that when man changes his mind he ought
to be able 20 give reasons for the change. You
tell me that men who were for bimetallism
few years ago are against1t now.
Yes, my friends that is true, but there is not
oneof them who was for bimetallism few
years ago and has changed who has ever been
wiling to give the public the reasons Tor his
change and carry the public along the course
which lea him to his converson. People point
to that dis tinguished statesman, John G. Car
Isle, and they tell US that Mr.. Carlisle has
been converted since 1878.
Senator Morgan has said that there are two
kinds OF converson; there was the conversion n
the Christians, and afterward became an
apostle. There was the case of Aaron who
also started out as a worshiper OF the true
God, and afterward set up a golden CALI
[Cheers.l The difference between these two
conversions was that Paul was always glad to
tell OF OF his us conversion and how he was con-
verted, but Aaron always was ashmed of the
calf business. lCheers.l
Mr.. Bryan also addressed an audience OF
ladies at the opera-house In replying to
the presentation of basket of flowers
there, he quoted from the letter read last
Sunday at the Westminster PRESBYTERIAN
Church in Detroit, while Mr.. Bryan was
present telling how hard times had af-
fected home missionary work and said:
Nothing has stirred my Indignation more in
this campaign than that the money-changers
send circulars to the churches and mission
aries, begging them TO stand by the gold stand
ard and help them to perpetuate system of
financial bondage.
He added that this question, which was
first political question and an economic
question. had become great moral cues
ton as well.
Mr.. Bryan also addressed dense crowd
from his carriage at the PENNSYLVANIA
depot. On the run from Youngstown Mr..
Bryan addressed crowds of 1000 at Ali
ance, 5000 at Ravenna and 1000 at Kent.
