Republican Candidate
Steuhenville, Ohio, Oct. 20-The trip
this nonring of candidates VIM. j.
Bryan through the Ohio valley district
along the banks of the Ohio, was one
punctuated here and there with cheers
for his opponent and saadwiched in
the crowds were many badges of that
color which indicated that the wearers
were not so friendly to the white
metal as they could have been. There
were five stops before this place was
reached and at three OF them the can
didate addressed the crowd from the
rear of the car. There was good
crowd at Bellaire and it was an en-
fhusiastic one. Mr.. Bryan addressed
them for fifteen minutes.
At bridgeport the wearers OF the
yellow badges were numerous but the
shouters for the triple nominee were
strong enough TO drown the cheers for
the Eepublican candidate. Mr.. Bryan
spoke to the crowd of some hundreds
for three minutes. He was cneered
and aplauded and for the most part
the crowd appeared to be in sympathy
with his remarks.
Martins Ferry turned out crowd
which was to a good extent hostile
to the views of the candidate. There
were gold badges worn by large por-
ton of his audience and cheers tor
Mckinley, alternated with cheers for
Bryan. Noticing the yellow badges,
Mr.. Bryan said that in this country
anybody could take the gold cure who
wanted to and told the story about the
Nebraska woman, who said her Drobner
was a gold man without any gold. This
toe ND n
Dlauded vigorously, and as soon as
their applause would die away there
would be cheers for Mr.. Bryan's OPP
ponent. There were stops at Yorkville
and Brilliant, and at those places Mr..
Bryan simply appeared on the plat
form and acknowledged the cheers Tor
him.
ANSWERED. PENSION ISLANDERS.
Steubenville was visited yesterday
by seThe Generals car and one of the
speakers attacked the pension record
of Mr.. Bryan. When the nominee ar
rived there he answered 1.-The state
ment made by saying he was a better
friend of the soldier than those who
wished TO submit the financial policy
ofthis nation to the dictation of foreign
nowers and referred his audience to
rood sized crowd gathered about the
car and in the rear some boys wearing
gold badges kept up a cheer for Nc
Kinley which Mr.. Bryan interpreted as
an attempt to break up the meeting.
He referred to them as follows: Il
hear one of our friends who believes
in free speech over there suggesting
Mexico. When people tell you that
Mexico has free silver you will remem-
ber that Turkey has been one of the
lonQ-standing gold standard countries
and If I had to choose between the
standard of Mexico and the standard
of Turkey, I would go and live in
Mexico before I would risk living in
Turkey
MORE M'KINLEY RUFFIANS.
Here Mr.. Bryan was interrupted by
disturbances created by several young
men on the outskirts of the crowd.
He said: "My friends, / am surprised
at these interruptions. You show
me a man that believes in q gold
standard and I will show you a man
who is afraid of public discussion be-
cause the gold standard dare not
meet public discussion. We are leav-
ing those who accuse us of being an
archists to interfere with public meet
inps and prevent discussion of an is
sue that concerns every man, woman
and child in the United States. Several
hundred people listened TO the NOM
meg afa Toronto. There was more
enthusiasm here that at any other
place of the morning, taking into con-
alteration the size of the crowd. They
cheered the speaker and shouted their
approval when he said the gold stand
ard advocates resort to ambiguous
phrases and speak OF sound money,
instead of telling what they mean by
sound money.
THE OVATION is CONTINUOUS.
