SANDUSkY {Oh Oct. 2O.-A soiree
Into Major McKinley's old Congress
sionl District was the most interesting
feature of Candidate Bryan's last day
IN Ohio, which ended with a speech at
Sandusky tonight, several hours be-
hind the time called for by the pro-
sramme. The loyalty of the Republi-
can candidates former Congressional
District was manifested in several
places by demonstrations intended to
counteract the enthusiasm for the DEM
Ccratic nominee. The manner in which
the supporters of the St Louis ticket
showed their political feelings was the
same at every place where the special
de monstratiOnS occurred.
At Wellsville, the first town within
the district at which Mr.. Bryan spoke,
the attempt to offset any influence his
pearance and speech might have was
particularly marked. Yellow badges,
yellow neckties, yellow hatbands with
VI How StreamerS tied to brOomS and
yellow flags were numerous. Cheers
for Mckinley were heard frequently,
and Mr.. Bryan's address was interrupt
cd so often that he finally turned on
his annoyerS and addressed some very
vigorous remarks intended for their
benefit. This rallied his supporters,
and they cheered him with a heartiness
that made him understand his standard
still had plenty of followers.
It was the same at East Liverpool,
where gOld-hued personal adornment
WAS practiced to quite a large extent.
Bellair and Martins Ferry also fur
Ti>hed gatherings in which the insignia
of the gold standard was prominently
displayed The earlier part Of Mr.. Bry-
ans trip to-day brought him to places
along the west bank of the Ohio River
He made a little foray in Pennsylvania,
and spoke at Rochester and New
brighton, in that State.
Youngstown gave him his greatest
reception, at least $500 being in one
of the three audiences he addressed
Il ere.
His speeches numbered twenty-one,
and were delivered at Bellaire. Mar
TINS Ferry, Bridgetown, Steubenville,
Toronto. Wellsville. East Liverpool,
Rochester, Pa. New Brighton, Pa,
Youngstown (three). Alliance, Raven
ma, Kent. Akron Cwo), Medina, Elyria,
and Sandusky (two).
Youngstown, and the city was crowded
with visitors. Several of the silver
clubs from many places in Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania brought with
them large contingents of excursionists
ready to do all the cheering necessary
to make the occasion a success. AS on
yesterday, the elaborate programmes
q. anged at some of the places where
Mr. Bryan spoke earlier in the day
caused delays which made the candi
dates special nearly three hours late
ir reaching Youngstown.
Mr.. Bryan spoke first to an audience
of fully 10000 in Central Square. May
or Moore presented him In this vast
eseemblage a transparency borne by a
silver club from Mcdonald, Pa, was
conspicuous by it's inscription, which
said: Even the Bishops cannot pre-
vent us from voting for the poor mans s
friends"
MIR. Bryan told his auditors not to go
into private conversations, but to take
his four years of Congressional life to
see if a single instance could be found
where his vote had been recorded
against the interests of the laboring-
men.
Continuing, he said: "The Republican
IOT the fTeSlQency IHlS year
has been in public life, and in public life
he has discussed the money question.
AT Toledo. in the spring of 1891, he de-
nounced the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land on the grounds that Mr.. Cleveland
had tried to degrade silver, to lessen cur
Tency, to make money dear by making
1t scarce, to make money the master
and all things else the servant. My
friends, / repeat to-day what Mr.. Nc
Kinley said five years ago; / repeat to-
day what was true then, and denounce
the policy to-day while he has turned
about and is supporting the financial
policy of Grover Cleveland. (Cheers)
If Mr.. Cleveland was willing then, then
Mr.. Mckinley is willing to-day. If Mr..
Mckinley was right in 1891, then we
are right to-day in standing by our po-
kition.
MY friends. I do not mean to say that
O. man ought to change his mind when
he finds that he has been wrong, but l
believe that when a man changes his
mind he ought to be able to give rea-
cons for the change. You tell me that
men who were for bimetallism a few
years ago are against it now. Yes, my
friends. that is true, but there Is not
one of them who was for bitmetallism
a few years ago and has changed who
has ever been willing to give the pub
lie the reasons for his change and carry
the public along the course which led
him to his conversion. People point to
that distinguished statesman, John G.
Carlisle, and they tell us that Mr..
Carlisle has been converted since 1878.
Senator Morgan has said that there are
two kinds Of conversion-there was the
conversion OF Paul Of Tarsus. who
started out to prosecute 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 golden calf. (Cheers)
The difference between these two
conversions was that Paul was always
glad to tell of his conversion, and how
he was converted, but Aaron always
was ashamed OF the calf business.
(Cheers)
Mr.. Bryan also addressed an audi
ence of ladies at the Opera-house. In
replying to the presentation of a bas-
ket of flowers there, he quoted from the
