BRYAN AT CINCINNATI.
He Addressed n Large Gathering in
Music Hull.

Music
Huntington, W. Va, had openly 5oasted
that 1t would give the democratic nominee
the largest crowd of any city in West
Virginia, and whether ii kept its promise
or not, 1t certainly did turn out great
crowd, which enthusiastically received Mr..
Bryan yesterday. Excursion trains from
points in Kentucky, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia helped to augment the crowd. and
many came from outlying districts by
wagon and on horseback. An old house in
a large lot had been torn down in order to
give the nominee a chance to speak near
the center of the city. From platform
erected at this place ne spoke after being
introduced by J. H. Holt, candidate for
judge of appeals.
Al 2:3O the party left Huntington, short
steps having been made at Catlettsburg,

and at each place he declined to talk, but
introduced ex-Congressman Benton McMil-
lin as substitute, saying he wished to
save his voice for the evening meetings.
At Cincinnati he was met by q local COM
E1ittee, and the members of the Duck

House, where he ate q light supper. AL

| and biggest meeting of the night was held.

dies. but they were elected and Mr.. Bryan
| proceeded. There were about 10000 pres
ent.
Mr.. Bryan practically made no speeches
at the overflow meetings, which had been
addressed during his stay In Music Hall
| by number of prominent local politicians
| He merely appeared on the platforms and
| expressed his qualification at the extent of
| his welcome, but did not enter into any
prolonged discussion of the money Ques-
ton. Then he was escorted over to Cow
| ington. The streets around the stand at
Park place. Covington. were densely crowd
| ed when Mr.. Bryan arrived, at 1870 pm.
Congressman A. S. Berry, nominee for re-
election, had held the crowd for an hour,
and he had been followed for half that
length of time by Gen. Wat. Hardin. The
crowd was quiet and orderly. and waited
| patiently until Mr.. Bryan arrived. He was
| introduced by Mayor Rhinock Of that
| city, and was warmly welcomed.
Careful investigation fails to substantiate
| the story sent out that there was
| an attempt to assault VIM. J. Bryan
by an unknown man at Wheeling Thursday
| night. There Is absolutely no foundation
| for the story. AS a matter OF fact, Mr.
Bryan was treated with the greatest cour
tesy and respect by men Of all parties dur.
ing his visit, and there was no unpleasant
incident.
