BRYAN AT COLUMBUS.
The Free Silver Advocate Addresses a
Great Crowd ct OhIO's Capital.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept 1.-THE free sill
yer campaign 10 Ohio touched It's high
water mark in Cleveland Monday
night, but the outpouring Of people to
see and hear the democratic presiden-
tial candidate at the state capital last
night was greater in proportion TO the
size OF the city than that in the north
ern metropolis had been. Mr.. Bryan
had the state capitol grounds for hi,
forum and the memory Of the local
politicians contains no such demon
stration as the one in which he played
the star part. Inhabitants say that no
other attraction has ever drawn So
strongly in Columbus, except display
of fireworks In nnectionwllht the state
fair on the same grounds two years
ago. A rooted and flay-draped plat
form faced the eastern front of the
capitol building and as Mr. Bryan
looked down from its height, 20 feet
above the street, he saw the steps and
terraces packed in solid rows with the
gloomy stone wall for the back ground,
while about the other three sides OF
the stage, across the lawn Of several
acres to the street beyond, stood regi.
ments Of which an accurate estimate
was an impossibility and which care
full guess would place at 10000.
