WHEN HE STARTED IN LAST
MONDAY MORNING.
SANDUSKY, o., October 21.-Col.
William Jennings Bryan tonight closed
the most remarkable week in his event.
fal career OF campaigning. He was
scheduled fer six speeches daily-the
first three days Of the week in Kentucky
and for the same number the last three
days in Ohio. He has been continue
ously on special train since last Mon
day morning, and has made many more
than the thirty-six speeches on the
schedule. In travelling thousands Of
miles during the week, most of the
time at unusually high speed, stops
were made at various points not on the
schedule and speeches were made from
the rear of the train as well as from
platforms. He has made over fifty
speeches during the week and many
more short talks at stations along the
way. His closing day of the Kentucky
and Ohio week was the most active and
remarkable of all. especially at the
meetings at Fostoria. Bellevue, Clyde
and other points not on the programme.
He started earlier than other days and
continued later tonight. apparently as
vigorous after the last meeting tonight
as he was last Monday morning He
left late tonight for Chicago, EN- route
TO Nebraska, and will spend the last
TWO weeks of the campaign In his own
State in similar manner to his cam
vases in Kentucky and Ohio this week.
FREMONT, Ohio, October 21.--The
Bryan-McLean train stopped at Eos
toria for a few minutes this morning,
during which time Mr.. Bryan appeared
upon the platform in response to calls
Of the crowd present. There were ex-
pressions of kindly greeting. handshak-
ing and a few references to the CAM
paign Of 1896, to all of which Mr.. Bryan
responded in a conversational way,
making no formal speech. The COM
ments were numerous and free regards
ing the Kissing at the opera house in
Findlay last night.
At Fremont a reception committee
and a good crowd met the train at the
depot and escorted the visitors to the
court house square. half a mile dis
tant where large crowd had assem-
bled John II. Mclean introduced MIR.
Bryan. who thanked the audience for
their fealty to the Chicago platform in
1896. and hoped they would give Mr..
Mclean a greater majority this fall.
He said:
Il believe this town was named az
ter John c. Fremont, who ran for Presl-
dent on a platform which declared that
the principle that might makes right
was unworthy of any nation Now
compare that platform with the pres
ent doctrine of the Republican party,
who propose to sell the Filiplnos at 81
head and kill them, because they
claim to own them by right OF purchase
from decayed monarchy. The Re-
publleans have become so bad that no
one dares to oppose what Mark Hanna
calls a good thing. He believes there
are good trusts and bad trusts. The
good ones being those who literally
contribute TO a campaign fund, and
those that are bad are those who do
not contribute"
UPPER sANDUSKY, o., October 81.
Judge Smalley presided at the meeting
1. 4 FaA Nfe FOL hn "A
turn introduced Mr.. Bryan. A very
large audience greeted Mr.. Bryan, who
complimented former Congressman
Hare. He referred TO the paying OF q
tax on each telegram for the benefit OF
benevolent assimilation by the widow
OF the son killed in the Philippines. In
auiring as to the disposition OF his
body. And why? Because the tele-
graph companies had more influence
with Republican Congress than the
common people. He charged the Re-
publican party with turning somer-
saults. that they were good acrobats
and claimants either for a famine or
prosperity, the rise or fall in prices. Of
ANYTHING else In touch with assumed
prevailing public sentiment.
TIFFIN. o., October 2i.--In front Of
the court house an audience estimated
at four thousand greeted Mr.. Bryan
cordially. Mr. Bryan said:
This county gave Us 400 majority
In 1896. Now. I want you to raise t.
Fourteen hundred shows there are some
Republicans here. and believe the time
is come when there viii not be Repub-
leans any where. Government IS q
rnatter Of business. Every citizen Is a
stockholder. In 1896, they denounced
me for dragging the great Office Of
President down 10 the low level Of q
hired man. Now. when men get the
idea that the President Is not the hired
man Of the American people they are
mistaken. He Is paid $4,000 to occupy
the White House in the spirit Of the
Declaration Of Independence, and not
to establish an empire on American
soil"
At Clyde large crowd greeted the
party and brief addresses were made By
Mr.. Mclean and Mr.. Bryan.
