more cheers at the station. Th'
Cider" was/ attached to a regula
, Baltimore and Ohio train that ha,
been held two hours for Mr.. Bryan
accommodation.
At bridgeport the second stop o
the morning was made. Fifteen hun
dred people, some of whom had beel
waiting since day break, heard him
Mckinley badges were the most con
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry. At tn,
latter place IL terrace beside the tracl
was covered with them. Some people
had a half dozen of the insignias pinnet
on their coats others had their hat
decorated with the symbols of the golt
standard.
Il A sortie into Maj McKinley's ole
Congressional district was the mos
interesting feature of Candidate
Bryap's last day in Ohio, which endcC
with a speech at Sandusky, sovera
hours behind the time called for by the
program. The loyalty of the Ropubli
can candidates. former district was
manifested at several places by demon
strations intended to countcract the
enthusiasm for the Democratic nomi
nee. The manner in which the sup
porters of the ST. Louis ticket showed
political feelings was the same at every
place where such demonstrations oc.
Cured. AT Wellsville, the first town
within the district at which Mr.. Bryan
spoke, the attempt to offset any in
huence. his appearance and speech
might have was particularly marked
Yellow badges, yellow ncckties, yellow
hat bands with yellow streamers tied
to brooms and yellow flags were nu-
merous. Cheers for Mckinley were
heard frequently and Mr.. Bryan's ad-
dress was interrupted so, often that
he finally turned on his annoyers ana
addressed some very vigorous remarks
intended for their benefit. This rallied
his supporters and they cheered him
with II heartiness that made him un-
derstand that his standard had still
plenty OF followers. 1t was the same
at East Liverpool, whore golden hued
personal adornment was practiced to
quite as large fan extent. Belaire and
Martins Ferry also furnished gather
standard was prominently displayed.
The earlier part of Mr.. Bryan's trip
brought him to places along the west
| bank of the Ohio river. He made a
little foray into Pennyslvania and
spoke at Rochester and New Brighton
in that State.
Youngstown gave him his greatest
reception, at least twenty thousand
| being in one of the three audiences he
| addressed there. His speeches num-
| bored twenty-one and wore delivered
at Belaire, Martins Ferry, Bridge
town, Steubenville, Toronto, Wells
vile, East Liverpool, Rochester, Pa,
New Brighton, Pa. Youngstow n three
ron (two), Medina, Elryia and Sandusky
(two).
Gold badges were noticeable in the
throng of 5000 at Steubenvjlle, but
not nearly SO numerous as at Bridge
port and Martins Ferry. Some vo,lng
ny IN who wore the yellow ir.errupted
the speech several tixos and Mr..
Bryan answer Il choir comments
with some display of feeling. "My
friends" he said, II am surprised at
these Interruptions. You show me
man that believes in gold standard
and | will show you man who is
afraid of public discussion, because the
gold standard dare not meet public
discussion. (Cheers). We are leaving
those who accuse us of being anarchists
to interfere with public meetings and
to prevent discussion of a measure
that concerns every man, woman and
CHILD in the United States. (Cheers.)
A Republican platform, for the first
time in the history OF this country,
proposes to surrender the right Of self
government an to delegate to foreign
nations the right to determine what
kind of Il financial system we should
have; and if those who wear yellow
badges want to put a badge on that
describes their condition, lei them
have card saying: We are Ameri-
can citizens, but we want foreign ma
tions to take care of u.s. and then
their badges will mean something"
(Cheers.)
Mr. Bryan had been told that one of
the Generals had said at Steuben-
Vile that the Democratic nominee had
declared in the House of Representa-
tives that the pension roll was not
roll OF honor, and in beginning his
speech there he said:
"Before entering upon the discus
not to take the word Of Republican ad-
vocates OF the gold standard or ex-
Democratic advocates Of the gold
standard for my record upon the sol
dier question. | was in Congress four
years, and | want you to read the Con-
gressonal Record. You will not find
in that record single evidence Of
hostility to those who, having served
their country thirty years ago, are
ready to save 1T from foreign dOmina-
tion. (Cheers.) There Is no reason why
| o soldier who believes with us on this
paramount issue of this campaign,
there is no reason why a soldier who
believes in the policy set forth in our
platform should not act with us be-
cause the interests of the soldiers are
safer with those who believe in gov
eminent such as Lincoln desired-a
| government OF the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people-than the inter-
ests OF those soldiers are with those
who believe in a government of syndi-
Gates, by syndicates and for syndicates. :"
A thousand people greeted Mr.. Bry-
an at Toronto and showed the greatest
enthusiasm over the little speech he
delivered.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at Youngstown
nearly three hours late. He delivered
a number of speeches at towns along
the Ohio river, and was made to real
ize at some Of them that ho was really
In the enemy's country. 1t was at
Wellsville, where $500 people were
awaiting for him, that his train made
it's first stop in Maj. McKinley's old
district, and the most pronounced coun-
ter demonstration OF the Democratic
candidates campaign was witnessed
there. a large number of the spectators
wore the conspicuous yellow badges en-
countered earlier in the day at Belaire
and Martins Ferry and sone of the Re-
publicans Ia the crowd bore American
0apa and brOoms adorned with ooldon
