APOLOGY FOR KISSING EPISODE
Mr. Bryan Assured That People Of
Ohio Do Not IndOrse That Sort of
Conduct-Happy ReJoinder of Sea-
sOned Campaigner Speeches at
Various Points Throughout Ohio
on Lines of Those Elsewhere.
SANDUSKY, O., Oct. N-Col. William
Jennings Bryan tonight closed the most
remarkable week in his eventful career
of campaigning. He was scheduled for
six speeches daily, the first three days Of
the week in Kentucky and for same num-
Der the last three days in Ohio. He has
been continuously on a special train since
last Monday morning, and has made
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 points not on the schedule, and
speeches were made from the rear Of the
train as we'll as from platforms. He has
made over fifty speeches during the week,
and many 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
the meetings at Fostoria, Bellevue, Clyde
and other points not on the programme.
He started earlier than other days, and
continued later at night, apparently as
vigorous after the last meeting tonight
as he was last Monday morning. He left
late tonight, en- route for Nebraska, and
will spend the last two weeks Of the cam
paign in his own state, in a similar man
ner to his great canvass in Kentucky and
Ohio this week.
PLATFORM SPEECHES.
FREMONT, O., Oct. N.-The Bryan
Mclean train left Findlay at $50 this
morning. At Fostoria the train stopped
for a few moments, during which Mr..
Bryan appeared upon the platform in re-
sponse to calls of the crowd. Expressions
of kindly greeting were exchanged. Com
ments were made regarding the Kissing
at the opera house in Findaly last night
Mr.. Bryan was told "Ohioans do not ap-
1t at the proper time, and in the proper
way"
"Oh. we'll, those things are the incidents
of a warm political condition, replied
Mr.. Bryan. IF they can stand it, L
can"
At Fremont, the home Of ex-President
Hayes, a reception committee and good
crowd met the train and escorted the
visitors to the court house square. B. 4.
Budrow presided, and introduced Mr.. Nc
Lean. The latter introduced Mr.. Bryan,
who thanked the audience for their fealty
to the Chicago platform in 1886, and hoped
they would give Mr.. Mclean great ma
jojrity this fall. He said:
81 believe this town was named after
John c. Fremont, who ran for president
on a platform which declared that might
makes right was unworthy Of any ma
ton Now compare that platform with
the present doctrine Of the Republican
party, who propose to sell the Filipinos
at 50 a head, and kill them because they
claim to own them by right of purchase
from a decayed monarchy. Now the Re
publicans 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 con-
tribute to a campaign fund, and those
that are bad are those which do not con-
tribute"
BRIEF TALK AT CLYDE.
CLYDE, O., Oct 21-Mr Bryan spoke
briefly from the car platform to a large
crowd here. Charles zeilly, eighty years
old, presented Mr.. Bryan with a silver
dollar bearing the date of 1S00 Another
gentleman returned to Mr.. Bryan q pen
knife which he claimed the presidential
candidate lost when passing through on
his tour in 1896. Mr.. Bryan said he be-
leved In reciprocity and gave Mr. zeilly
another silver dollar. Mr., Mclean said:
1.-The votes you register this fall will
either approve of the presidents policy,
the trusts, the combines and the monopo-
lies, or 1t will be against them. Your
votes will be for or against the poor and
the small business man. We ask justice
for all and privileges for none"
QUESTION OF INFLUENCE.
UPPER SANDUSKY, O., Oct. 21.-Judge
Smal1ey presided at the meeting here, and
presented Mr.. Mclean, who in turn in
troduced Mr.. Bryan. A very large audi
ence greeted Mr.. Bryan, who compli-
mented former Congressman Hare He
referred to the paying Of tax on each
telegram for the benefit of benevolent
assimilation" by the widow of the son
killed in the Philippines, inqulring as to
the disposition Of the body. And why?
Because the telegraph companies had
more influence with a Republican con-
gress than the common people, He
charged the Republican party with turn
ing somersaults; that they were good
acrobats and claimants either for a fam
inc or prosperity, the rise or fall in
prices, or anything else in touch with
the assumed prevailing public sentiment.
At $50 this evening the Bryan-McLean
special train reached Sandusky, the last
point in the Ohio tour, HAVING Travelled
500 miles and traversed thirteen counties
of Northern Ohio.
WORD, TO TRAVELLING MEN,
a great crowd greeted the train and
we'll organized procession formed an es-
cort to the court house, where the meet
Ing was held. judge George G. Bis pre-
sided and presented Mr.. Bryan, who dis
cCssed national issues at length. Touch
ing the trusts, he said:
eff you want to know what the trusts
are and mean, consult the commercial
travellers. They are mighty good people
too. If I did not know this to be true I
would consult Mr.. Mckinley. I refnern-
Der in the campaign Of 1885 they had
deIegattoEs visit Mr.. Mckinley at Canton.
I was not able to have them come to mo
and L had to go to them. Mr. McHin1ey
