 Kenton, O., Sept. 2.-At Urbana, a form of MT. Bryan's car and cheered loudly. MT. Bryan was presented as the next president. He said whether or not this prediction would prove true would depend to great extent upon what the people about the car would do. If they believed in a gold standard they should vote for his opponent, but but if they did not wish a gold standard he had a right to expect their support. Mrs Bryan was also introduced and was given three cheers. A large num- Der of men, women, boys and girls wearing slips of yellow paper contain ing the inscription "McKinley club" were In the crowd of several hundred gathered at Bellefontaine. But all though the Bryan contingent seemed to be in the minority it had plenty of en- thusiasm, and with the assistance of a band it made quite as much noise in honor oe the democratic candidate as the others made for his republican op- ponent MT. Bryan said:
 Our opponents started out by saying that they were as good friends of bi metalIism as we But we have driven them to the, not open, but secret ad- vocacy of the gold standard, so that whenever we come into a town where there are any Mckinley men they have the name printed, not upon white and yellow paper, but upon yellow paper. We find that there is evidence of what is known as a new yellow fever, which ruins the people who do not have the fever. (Great applause). I am glad to see courage anywhere, and when find man who believes that this nation is not good enough to govern itself and must appeal to foreign nations for aid am glad to have him put it on his hat. I am glad that the people who are supporting the Chicago platform do not go down on their knees and appeal to kings and princes to legislate for the American people,"
 M ly;n ;ne a of his supporters gathered on the for ward platform and engaged in a guying match with those bearing the badges. There were counter cheers as the train renewed it's journey.
 Farmers kept coming into Kenton all morning to attend the reception given this afternoon to Mir Bryan. MT. Bryan arrived at 1:05 p. m. and was given an anvil salute at the station. He and Mrs. Bryan were taken in a carriage to the Rees house under escort of reception committee. After dinner the candidate and party proceeded to the court house square, where 4,000 people were drawn up in front of a stand Great shouts went up as the candidate appeared. MT Bryan made a vigorous speech that won frequent applause. While it was in progress part of the speaking stand gave way with crash, carrying a score of people with it. Nobody was hurt, but the widest excitement reigned for few minutes Mrs. Bryan barely managed to save herself from being precipitated into hole through which those near her fell.
 MT Bryan in part said: "This is a campaign which appeals to the hearts of men adn when you study the money question your action will be determined by your sympathies, by your hearts. John G. Carlisle, in a speech in 1878, divided society in two classes. On the one side he put those whom he de- scribes as the idle holders of idle capi- tai and on the other he placed those whom he described as the struggling masses. That condition exists to-day. Our opponets say that we are dema- gogues if we show the people that those classes exist. The crime is not in rec ognizing the condition The trouble is in the condition. (Great applause.) James G. Blaine in 1878 said that the | establishment of gold as the sole unit | of value would have a ruinous effect upon all forms of property except those | investments which yield a. fixed return | in money. John Sherman said in 1869 | that contraction of the currency would hurt every one except the capi- | talist out of debt, the salaried officer or annuitant. These men simply rec ognized the truth at that time, and that truth remains, although you may | shut your eyes to it to-day. If your | sympathies are on the side of the struggling masses you will want a
 financial policy that is good for the struggling masses. (GTeat applause. If your sympathies are on the side of ! the idle holders of idle capital you will want financial policy that is good for | the idle holders of idle capital We ex- 1 pect the opposition of every man who l thinks it is the object of government to 1 take care of themselves, but we expect the support of every man who believes all men were created equal and that the government ought to be no respect CT os persons.
 Tn a speech made by Senator Sher- man in 1871, when he was opposing the repeal of the income tax, he said:
 "The possession of large property | and the ability to earn large income necessarily give to those enjoying this | income great influence over public |! opinion. They speak through the daily | press from high official stations. from ] great corporations, from cities where,
