BRYAN's WINDY SPEECH.
Did Not Worry Mckinley Much--I4is
 Comment

Canton, O., Aug. H-Major Mckinley finished reading his opponents oration at half-past this morning. He was too busy yesterday to go through it.. When he came to the end and laid the paper down, Major Mckinley looked up with a pleasant, oontented smile, as much as to say: If this is the strong est effort of our free silver friends, we need not despair of winning q victory for sound money"
 The sedate democrats of Canton are emphatic In the expressions of their disappointment with Bryans Madison Square Garden speech, but on the oth- CT hand the noisy wing of the party comments it as a deep, potent and statesmanlike effort. The republicans view the speech with smiling uncon- cern and declare that it will make no votes in the east, and that MT. Bry- ans arguments will be riddled by Gen. eral Harrison and Bourke Cochran in New York next week, and by General Stewart l.. Woodford at the opening meeting of the Ohio campaign in Co., lumbus tomorrow.
