Lima, O., Oct. 19-The enthusiasm which
marked William j. Bryan's previous sal
lies into Ohio during this campaign be-
gan to show itself anew on his first entry
into Maj. McKinleys state this morning.
His special train left Detroit this morn
ing at 4:45 O'clock and reached Toledo, O.,
at $50 a. m, and premonitory symptoms
of a busy day for the candidate developed
there. Two or three hundred men in the
union station called for Mr.. Bryan, and,
arising from his berth and making
hasty toilet, he went out on the platform
and talked to them. Fifteen minutes only
were spent at Toledo
Stops were made by the train, which
was in charge of Daniel McConville,
chairman of the Ohio democratic state
central committee, at Perrysburg, Wes-
ton, Deshler, Leipsic, ottawa and
Columbus Grove. The biggest
crowd was at Leipsic reached
at $40. Mr.. Bryan made a
short address there. Brief remarks were
made all the other places mentioned,
with the exception of Weston, and al
each, the candidate was received with
considerable enthusiasm.
Sidney, o., Oct. 19.-Several thousand
people welcomed Mr.. Bryan at Lima. He
read extracts from Chairman Hanna's
American flag letter published yesterday,
and in commenting on 1t said: "My

cial transactions sufficiently broad
for those transactions to rest
upon beneve in a sounder financial sgys-
tenn than those Who advocate a gold stand
ard and financial system based upon
gcld alone when you cannot get the gold
to furnish your foundation. (Cheers) We
not only believe in sound money, but we
tell what w ~ ,,ar,.,,y
and do not play the hypocrite by talking
about sound money and then refusing to
explain what the term means. (Cheers)
i want some flags to float en- that day that

TO send representative to every fireside
and collect tribute from every home in
this land. | want some flags to float on
that day that do not stand for the opin-
ions of those who say that If the major
ity of the people win in this campaign they
90 not know whether they will submit to
the decision or not" (Cheers).
Another audience of several thousand
was at Wapokeneta. AS at Lima, Mr..
Bryan spoke from a stand In the town.
His address, which followed his own lines
of discussion of the money question, was
wildly cheered. Thirty minutes were
spent at Wapokoneta, and at 1:30 O'Clock,
the candidates special train resumed its
journey.
George A. Marshall, the regular demo-
cratic candidate for congress- introduced
Mr. Bryan to $500 people at Sidney and
the nominee made a brief speech.
Piqua turned out the banner crowd of
the day up to that time. 1t numbered
about 5000, including many who came
from neighboring communities. During
the twenty minutes spent there, Mr..
Bryan made a speech on the money ques-
ton. A number Of his auditors wore the
yellow badges, seen so frequently among
the crowds addressed by the democratic
candidate bearing the names of Mckinley
and Hobart. But the Bryan supporters,
not to be outdone, had distributed around
the town for service at the meeting
badges similar in shape and color, some
of them bearing the words "Gold-Nit,"
and others simply init"
At Troy a couple Of hundred people
heard Mr.. Bryan talk from the rear plat
form Of his private car.
Hamilton, o., Oct. 19.-According to ex-
Gov. James e. Campbell, in his speech in
producing william J. Bryan at a Dig polit-
zeal meeting, the largest audience ever seen
in Hamilton was here this afternoon Ger
tainly IL was a great crowd, numbering
in the neighborhood Of 10000 and many
thousand others who did not attend the
speech making at the court house square
were on the streets, along which the dem
ocratic candidate was taken.
Mr.. Bryan was cheered with heartiness
on his way to the square, under escort of
the Miami Club and other organizations
in uniform. Brass bands and a wagon
load Of young ladies', sixteen In white and
another, with pronounced auburn hair,
In yellow, were also in evidence. A wild
shout went up as Mr.. Bryan appeared
on the platform, and its volume was in
tensifed as he was presented by ex-Gov
Campbell The most interesting feature
OF the affair was that 1t marked Mr..
Campbells initial appearance on the po-
litical rostrum in this campaign. For
that reason the remarks of the ex-gov-
ernor were listened to with more than
usual attention. This is what he SAID:
"The largest audience that ever assem-
bled in the city OF Hamilton Is here to-
day. 1t has come to greet and listen TO
the regular nominee of the democratic
party (Cheers) Whatever may have
been the opinion amongst democrats be-
fore his nomination, here, in Butler coun-
ty, they are all Loyalty supporting him
now. (Cheers) He has two and only two
faults. He has been charged with them
and he has never denied them. One is
