Where He Made Two Speeches
Last Night.
HE RECEIVED AN OVATION
At the Hands of Both Democrats and Repub-

Clear the Streets.

Canton, o., Aug. 10--.There were cries
for Bland as well as for Bryan at Woos-
ter, where the two arrived at 1886 p. m.
1t was evident that the Bryan sentiment
in the several hundred people there was
predominant. Mr.. Bryan responded in a
few sentences, and was cheered.
Foremost in the crowd at Orrville num-
bering about 800, was Carl Browne, chief
marshal of Coxey's disbanded army. who
is living in a tent at Massillon with his
wife.
Mr.. Bryan was in the dining car when
the train reached Orrville, and, napkin in
hand came to the door and was loudly
cheered He started to speak, but the
train began to move and the effort was
lost.
With Carl Browne on board, Massillon
naturally recalled memories of Coxey's
army, for it was from that place that the
commonweal cause was launched.
Massillon was reached at $50. A great
crowd gathered at the end of the railroad
trestle, and these crowded and pushed
close to the car. A thousand people were
in the throng, and in the front rank was
Mamie CoXey Browne. The old flag of
the commonweal that was carried from
Massillon to Washington was displayed
with a new inscription, Bryan can stay
on Coxey's grass" There was also an
artistic effort by Carl Browne represent
ing Mark Hanna standing on Roths-
child's back, Rothschild holding up a
cross of gold with a crucifix onsit. In re-
Spouse to loud demands for a speech Mr..
Bryan made a short address, while Carl
Browne distributed pictures of the demo-
cratic nominee to the crowd. The trains
departure cut the speech short. Many
people were lined along the railroad
tracks, and these cheered as Mr.. Bryan
was recognized. -
This morning trains carried many pas
sengers to the city, all bent on seeing
Bryan. The local committees were early
astr and nothing was left undone to
make the reception a most enthusiastic
one. Large delegations arrived and as
sisted the local committee. Two cars
loaded with members of the Pittsburg
reception committee came IN shortly af-
ter noon. When Bryan's train hove in
sight half an hour late there was great
cheering and confused yels of hurrah
for Mckinley and hurrah for Bryan.
Several Mckinley banners were display
ed. 1t was necessary to switch Bryan's
car through the railroad yard in order to
attach the special car of the Pittsburg
reception committee. While this was be-
ing done Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were as
sisted onto fiat car in front of the de-
pot. Mayor Rice of Canton, chairman of
the reception committee, introduced
Bryan as the man who represents the
American people better than any man
who ever became candidate for the
presidency. Mr. Bryan was greeted with
great cheering. Hats were thrown in the
air and the enthusiasm of the crowd
was manifested in every conceivable
way.
Mr.. Bryan's reference to Mr. Mckinley
was greeted with enthusiasm, and each
time he referred to the major there were
yels of hurrah for Mckinley.
When Mr. Bryan had concluded he
Jumped down from the car and turned to
assist Mrs. Bryan down. Mayor Rice
detained her a moment to introduce her
to the crowd, and as she smiled and
modestly bowed she was received with
round of applause. AS the train pulled
out Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and Mr.. and
Mrs. r. P. Bland stood on thte rear plat
form bowling to the cheering thousands.
