Ought to Give Reasons.

Youngstown, o., October 2l.-(Spec-
ial. .)-There we're $4,000 people in this
city to greet Nominee Bryan when he ar
rived at 80 yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the largest crowd of the day, and, indeed,
the biggest demonstration youngstown
ever witnessed. This city was simply
packed with visitors, the nominees ad-
mirers in Youngstown having their
numbers increased from the outlying dis
tricts of Ohio and Pennsylvania. There
were free silver clubs here from MoDon-
aid, Pa, and Pittsburg, and from
twenty or more other points in Ohio, and
the adjacent states Of Pennsylyanis and
West Virginia.
There were 30, 900 In line in the pro-
cession, and from the depot to the places
of speaking and then back to the depot
again the nominee received continual
ovation Of applause and cheers.
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 Pennsyl-
vania derot, where he spoke from the
carriage. At the first meeting the crowd
was large and enthusiastic, and vigorously
applauded the nominee. Mr.. Bryan spoke
as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens-I
i ha ha oh tn
make myself heard over such an immense
gathering or not, but the more quiet you
are the better can be heard. We have
reached the affidavit stage Of the cam
paign. daughter and oheers.) II you
have had any experience in politics, you
know that the affidavit is the last resort
of defeated cause. Applause and
cheers) do not intend to enter into a
discussion of any question which is pre-
sented by man who feels called upon
to swear to what he says in order to
make people believe it, Applause and
cheers.) II you want to find out what
my position is in regard TO the laporing
} men, ask you, instead Of going 20 pri-
yate conversations to take my four years
Of congressional life and see II you can
find single instance where my vote was
recorded against their interests. ZAP
plause and cheers.) My friends, II trore
is one iaboring man In all this land who
will be more influenced by an affidavit
made by political opponent than he will
) by four years of honest effort to improve
: the condition of those who toll, l shall
not attempt to interfere with his right tc
sacrifice his own interests. (Applause
: and cheers.)
"I want briefly to call your attention
to some of the things that we have tc
meet In this campaign. We stand for the
money of the constitution; we stand fol
, that financial policy which had the sup
port of all the great men Of this nation
of all parties, until 1873; and today
want to read you the words OF dis
tinguished RepuDlican-not western
Q man. They tell you that we are raising
!, sectional questions; that we are trying
a to array the West and South against tn,
r North and East.
"My friends, we are simply, trying t.
array those who love American libert.
against those who want foreign domina
, tion. Applause and scheers.) II 1 shoult

There are some people who think that tn

question is the man who lives In New
# York city, and gets into that London fol
n that settles down over Wall street. (Grea
70 cheering and applause.)
"I might quote to you what James G
p Blaine said, that the establishing of gol
d as the sole unit of value would have
ruinous effect on all forms of propert
n except those Investments which yield
fixed return In money; that these woul,
be enorm ously enhanced in value, AM
would gain disproportionate and unfai
a advantage over other species OF property
It Mr.. Blaine did not live in the West o
South; Mr.. Blaine was not attempting
Q to array one part of the country agains
tbs rest Of the country; and he recognizes
;, that the gold standard meant that yol
