FORT WAYNE, Oct. 21.-The orange
insignia of the Republican cause was
met by William J. Bryan all through
Indiana from Richmond to Fort Wayne
today, but he had large audiences at
every place where a stop was made.
and created a great amount of enthu
siasln. That stronghold of Republic
anism, Richmond, gave him his vel
come to the Hoosier state, and pre-
pared him in a measure for the yellow
fever" as he called it, which naturally
might be expected to exist in the sec
ton through which he passed, that has
long been noted for its allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party.
However. Mr.. Bryan had every right
to be gratited with the demonstra-
tons in his honor, for outpourings of
people were remarkable in point of
numbers and the enthusiasm shown.
EIGHTEEN SPEECHES.
Between midnight and the time he
concluded his second speech at Fort
Wayne this evening Mr.. Bryan spoke
to is audiences Two speeches were
made at Richmond, three more at Fort
Wayne, and one each at Clyde, Tiffin
and Bradford Junction, all in Ohio, and
the Indiana towns of Cambridge city
RusnVille, Newcastle, Luncie, Ander-
son, Alexandra, Summitville, Fair
mount, Marion and Button.
One remarkable. feature of the day
was the unprecedented gathering for
mat place at the meeting he addressed
at Anderson. which was composed of
about $4,000 people The Indiana state
committee does not intend to make Mr.
Bryan work so hard as he did in Ohio
and between Fort Wayne and Terre
Haute. the scope OF his labors tomor-
row. he is scheduled to speak at 10
points only.
Mr.. Bryan spent the night at Fort
Wayne and viii start out on his second
and last day Of his Indiana campaign
at 4:SG tomorrow morning.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
A magnificent demonstration was
given Mr.. Bryan at Rushville. 1t was
hard to estimate the crowd gathered
in q big open field there, because of
the presence Of dozens of carriages
and wagons. forming a deep fringe
about the immense throng solidly
massed around the speakers stand;
but between 1000 and 1900 is a rea-
sonable calculation Mr.. Bryan's re-
marks were vigorously cheered lie
brought out no new features in his
speech.
Newcastle was reached more than-an
hour behind schedule time and fur
nished an audience of between 1000
and 5000, to which Mr.. Bryan made a
few remarks.
AS at Richmond and several places
In Ohio during yesterdays trip, he
was confronted by many of the Nc
kinney badges. but those who wore
pictures of Bryan on their hats and
Bryan ribbons on their coats seeming
~ outnumbered their opposing fellow
townsmen.
Mr.. Bryan referred to the trip Cen
eral Harrison is making through In
diana, and added these words:
Ell President Harrison was elected
TO the presidency on a platform that
denounced Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton on the ground that he had tried
10 demonetize silver, but the ex-presi-
dent today is stumping this state try
ing 10 get the Republicans 10 indorse
Mr.. Cleveland's financial policy. His
policy during the last administration
was worse on the money question than
during the first administration, but
such a change has come over the Re
publican leaders that they want rs TO-
day TO submit to policy which they
denounced eight years ago; but l say
10 you. my friends. that the only rea-
son for this change is that the money
influences wrote the Republican plat
form, and those influences are trying
TO make the American people bend to
foreign yoke and pay tribute to
foreign despotism.
PARTY FEELING HIGH.
Party feeling WAS running high in
Muncie when Mr.. Bryan arrived there.
William d. Rynum had an engage
inent to speak late in the day and the
friends of the well-knoWn gold leader
had distributed with lavish hand
thousands Of Orange-colored badges in
scfibed with the names Of Mckinley
and Hobart and sound money, protec-
ton and prosperity" Most of the
Bryan adherents TO the number of
5000. were gathered at the bali park,
awaiting his coming. but the streets
were crowded with Mckinley people,
male and female. There had been
rUnlors that questions would be asked
MT. Bryan at the park. and that
trouble was feared between opposing
factions was evident from the fact that
hundreds of men, whether wearing gold
or silver badges, We're around with big
clubs. A bowling crowd of Bryan
enthusiasts followed close behind the
candidates four-in-hand as it was
driven through the streets. followed by
another contingent cheering for Nc
Kiniey.
There was much disorder and the |
several contingents Of II little girls, !
symbolical in their dress of the money
ratio Mr. Bryan wants to establish
were lost in the confusion
Bur though the yellow was pre-
dominant in the streets. the 5000 peo-
pie at the ball park left no doubt as
to their sympathies by the inscriptions
they bore and by their hearty cheers
A solid mass. every man having the
name OF Bryan pinned to his nat. faced
The nominee. as be began his address
IN the course of which he said:
when I find a man who denounces
agitation and tries TO stop public dis
