T1FF1N, O., Oct. 21.-Mr. Bryan's Sec
'ond day in Ohio ended in this city after
midnight. He had already retired but
was aroused and spoke briefly to large
crowd. s:=i =
Z Mr.. Bryan reached Bellaire, O., at 8
q. m. and addressed the crowd assem-
bled at the station for 10 minutes. At
Bridgeport the wearers Of the yellow
badge were numerous, but the shouters
for the triple nominee were strong
enough to drown the cheers for the
Republican candidate. Martins Ferry
turned out q 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 for Mo-
Kinley alternated with cheers for
Bryan. There were stops at Yorkville
and Brilliant and at those places Mr..
Bryan simply appeared on the platform
and acknowledged the receptions given
him.
In the '.Enemy's Country"
Wellsville, Columbia county, is in
Major McKinley's old congressional
district and Is a Republican stronghold.
That was apparent when Mr.. Bryan ar
rived here, for, while he had large
crowd, it was made up for the most
part Of shouting, enthusiastic McKin-
leyites. At East Liverpool the yellow
also predominated in the large crowd
gathered. a..
Pennsylvania was invaded by Mr..
Bryan at Rochester, when at noon the
train pulled into that city. It was dis
tinctively Bryan crowd and it showed
its approval of the doctrines advocated
by Mr.. Bryan by shouting and cheering
and applauding every time they had an
opportunity. The candidate received a
f1attering reception at Youngstown, O.
When he arrived there at 40 p. m.
he found the largest crowd he had en-
countered during the day, his admirers
in Youngstown having their numbers
increased from the outlying districts of
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Mr.. Bryan
spoke three times in Youngstown, the
first being from stand erected in the
public square, the next in the opera
house, where he addressed the women,
and the last near the Pennsylvania de-.
pot, where he spoke from the; carriage.
At each of the meetings the crowd was
large and enthusiastic. '''* r: l''.. "'-
H.. In McKinley's County.
The next stop was in the county in,
which resides the Republican nominee.
It was at Alliance and there several
thousand people listened to the Demo-
cratic candidate for 20 minutes. It
was an appreciative crowd and ap-
plauded the speaker often. There was
another good crowd at Ravenna, where
Mr.. Bryan received another enthusiasts
tic demonstration. At Kent there was
a repetition of the crowd at Ravenna
and Mr.. Bryan addressed them briefly.
The arrangements at Akron were bad.
The candidate could not even get the
carriage provided for him but had to
catch one on the outskirts Of the crowd.
After leaving Akron Mr.. Bryan ad-
dressed enthusiastic audiences at Me-
dina, Elyria and Sandusky.

An Editor "Done ulp."

There was very interesting scrap on the street this morning between Editor Woiay, of the Republican, ana William Dunbar, son of Editor Dunbar, of the Gazette, says the Phoenix Her ald of May 25. It seems that an edi- torial in the Republican of yesterday, in which Will Dunbar was named, caused the young gentlemon's ire to arise. and when he met Mir. Wolfy on the street this morning he suggested that a retraction was the proper thing next in order. One word brought on another until the two men came together. Mir. Wolfley ran into the store of the Trask. Kessler Grocery company, hut even then did not get away from his adversary, who followed him in and gave him good drubbing. Bystanders separated them before any material damage was done, but the marks of the encounter will be with Mir. WolAey for some time tc come.

A private London cablegram, made public by Wall street bureau says: A rise in copper has been caused by con sumers and the public is finding that the consumption is exceeding produc- tion. While supplies are offered freely speculators absorb them rapidly and there is more demand for refined copper from India and elsewhere. A contract has been let for French Pacific cable which requires 900 tons of copper wire. American electrolytic copper has been repurchased owing to the reduced out put in American mines.

ARIZONA AND FREE SILVER. "

There has been very little oppor. tunity afforded of late years to say good word for the military stationed in Arizona, and the good work performed by Lieutenants Ayerill and Rice, within the past few weeks, in running down renegade Indians, is the more notice able and praiseworthy. Their achieve ments siN go fsr in restoring the confidence of citizens in the belief that after all the soldiers are of some use in checking the forays of Apaches. The SILVER BELT is always ready to acknowledge merit where it finds it.

Simply ParalyZed.

The free silver cause seems to be gaining in strength in the south and west, says the Globe Democrat. It is immensely aided by the inactivity of the sound money side. Here is the really dangerous feature of the situa- ton. Apathy has attacked most of the gold democratic leaders. A sort of Chinese fatalism has seized them, and in stolid and despairing way they watch the silverites capture delegation after delegation, and appear to think that the disaster which awaits their party IS decree of destiny which can not be averted.

M'KINLEY'S FINANCIAL VIEWS.

All attempts to smoke Mckinley out in order to ascertain whether he is stripee with gold and silver, or reveals the color of refined gold, have thus far been upavailing. The wise men in the east are positive that he is goldbug, while western republicans, less wise, shout for Mckinley and free silver. The Ohio statesmap's record in con- gress gives encouragement to either view, as McKir,ey has at different times in his career supported both sides of the money question. He has voted for remonetization of silver and he has spoken and voted against it. The burning question is, Which side is he on now?
 William E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record, throws some light on the vexed question. He says: Conditions have changed in many respects since some of 'his (McKinley's) printed speeches were delivered, and his ideas of the legislation necessary to fit them were modified accordingly. To quote his words in recent speech Tn explsns- tion for his reasons for voting for the reconciliation of silver: When I did it, he said, we had but 5000. 900 of silver dollars in circulation. When I did it silver was more valuable than today. We have 405, 900. 900 of silver dollars today, and that is as much as we can main tain at par with gold with the price of silver that prevails through out the world.
 "When you ask Major Mckinley for his views on certain questions now he refers you to his speeches, and in reply to my inquiry as to his attitude toward free coinage he handed me a verbatim report of speech be made at Ada, Ohio, when he was running for gov ernor, and marked this passage: The republican party, it says, stands opposed to free and unlimited coinage of silver under existing conditions, and insists that that cannot safely be done until the great commercial nations of the world shall have, by concurrent action, fixed the ratio between gold and silver. The republican party, therefore, stands for dollar worth 100 cents, whether it shall be gold or silver or paper money. Free and unlimited coinage of silver would give the profits to the silver producers of the world instead of the government of the United States"
 And yet the Arizona republicans are shouting for Mckinley and free silver.

KEEP THE OFFICE-HOLDERS
 OUT.

Word comes from Washington that the Arizona vote in the democratic national convention will be pledged for "sound money" The scheme as an- pounced is the same that was success fully worked in Michigan. The infiu- enee of the administration is to be exerted through the federal office holders to secure as many delegates as possible to the territorial convention who will oppose free silver Ihis they hope to accomplish surreptitiously' by avoiding an open fight on the finsn- cisl question until the territorial con yention meets. Then the whole strength of the administration forces will be marshalled for supreme effort to win over enough delegates to give the gold faction the votes necessary to organize the convention and dictate the plat form. They rely upon the over confidence of the silver men to effect their purpose.
 The scheme was very smoothly worked in Michigan, and the Chicago Times Herald exultingly says: "Ihe manner in which the administration invaded the free silver cohorts ID Michigan and rode rough shod to victory ought to give fresh courage and strength to weak-kneed sound money democrats in other states.
 "This," says the Cincinnati En- uuirer, ''is equivalent to saying that if the sound money democrats in other states would have fresh courage they have only to invade their states and ride rough shod over the free silver advocates, as it has done in Michigan. The goldites are utterly interruptions as to the means employed to accom- plish their ends.
 We don't believe that the Michigan method will work here, but, neverthe- less, there are subservient tools in the Arizona democracy who will bear watching. Some are ofice-holders and some lickspittles who would stoop to anything to gain favor with the admin istration. The surest way to guard against treachery in the convention IS to keep the federal office-holders out and exact pledge of every delegate to the territorial convention to vote for s IS to 1 platform and silver delegation to the national convention Let the slogan be:
