Columbus, Sept. 2.-The Bryan par
ty left this morning for Springfield.
There was a crowd at the train to see
him off. On the train were reception
committees from Springfield and Ken
ton. A short stop was made at Lon
don for the nominee 10 shake hands
with the crowd.
Springfield. Ohio. Sept. 2.-Twenty
thousand people greeted the demo-
cratic nominee here, cheering him
from the time he left the train until
the police finally fought a way for
him TO the train bearing him to To-
ledo. Bryan said In part;
Ladies and Gentlemen: For few
minutes l shall occupy your attention
because a large portion of my voice
has been left along the line of travel
where II Is stiI calling sinners to re-
peptance. Great laughter) am
told that In tihds city you manufacture
more agricultural implements than
are manufactured In any other city In
the country. i am glad to talk TO
people who recognize their dependence
upon the farmers of this country. I
had occasion to talk to some who
seem to imagine the harder up they
make the farmers the better they
would be off. l am glad to talk to you
who recognize the dollars which you
receive are earned by those who con-
vert the natural resources of this
country Into money. those who till
soil and from its fertility bring forth
this nations primary greatness. AS
a matter of fact the farmers and la
boring men are the foundation of So
ciety. tCheers.) Upon this foundation
is built the commercial classes and the
flnanciers act as a sort of roof over
the whole thing. You can take OFF
the roof and put on another, but you
can't destroy the foundation without
running the whole building. (Ap-
plause)
Upon the prosperity OF the great
producers Of wealth. whom we call
the masses, as distinguished from the
classes. depends all the prosperity OF
this city. II you have a gold standard
you legislate the value of money up
and you legislate the value OF prop
erty down. Our opponents are trying
to throw upon Providence the faults
Of your condition. II the farmer COM
plains that he Is not making much
OF his potato crop they tell him II Is
uut W ihf Pftdto buS. IL ne lS not
making much out OF corn they tell
him 1t Is due TO chinch bugs. If he Is
not making much out Of wheat, they
tell him 1t Is due to the army worm.
But let me tell you the goldbug Is de-
stroying more crops than all of them.
Great laughter.) The farmer Is the
most helpless victim OF circumstances
of all the producers of wealth. When
he plants his crop In the spring he
does not know whether there Is going
to be flood or drouth: whether there is
going to be hot winds or cold hail. He
takes his chances and l assert that
when he has taken more chances than
everybody else and survives all the
calamities that visit the farm. II Is
not fair to drive him between the
bulls and bears Of Wall street and let
them take from him what Is left"
Great laughter and applause.)

Toledo. Sept. 2.-william Jennings
Bryan to-day demonstrated again that
IL made no difference whether his
voice was hoarse or not by making
more speeches than he has for several
days. He made long speeches at
Springfield, Kenton and Findlay. and
tonight spoke again in this city. The
party left Columbus this morning and
arrived at Springfield at 1880. where
the nominee made a Commute talk.
The next stop OF any consequence was
at Kenton. where Mr.. Bryan addressed
5000 citizens of that county. The ad-
dress was made in the park of the
little city and was well received. The
crowd was made up mostly OF farmers.
who cheered the utterances of the
nominee heartily. Mr.. Bryan endeav-
ored to impress his audience with the
fact that the issues of the campaign
were serious and far reaching, and he
told them that when they had studied
the money question their action would
be determined not by their SYM
pathies, but their heads. When
they had studied the question.
he said he expected the sup
port Of every one who believed that
all men were created equal and that
the government ought to be no re-
specter OF persons. At the same time
he expected the opposition of every
man who thinks II Is the object Of the
government to take care Of the great
corporations and leave the masses to
take care OF themselves
Mr.. Bryan added: Il am willing that
each man shall have whatever infiu-
ence his neighbors are willing to give
to him. but / object TO any man using
his official position TO coerce other
people who have opinions OF their own.

Kenton, o., Sept. 2-Mr. Bryan said in
his speech at Belle Fontane that the
crowd seemed to be afflicted with yellow
fever. Fully half the people there wore
big yellow labels inscribed Mckinney
club" Men and women bore them and
waved them in front OF the democra tic
candidate. There were plenty Of Bryan
shouters In the crowd, however. and
these cheered while the brass band they
had engaged played frantically in his
honor. Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows:
our opponents started out by saying
that they were as good friends OF BIZ
metallsm as we. but We have driven
them to the open from secret advocacy Of
the gold standard. so that whenever we
come into a town where there are any
Mckinley men they have the name print
