If we succeed in driving every trust out of the United States, reducing this large army to it's former size, and in saving this country from the menace of inn perialism the blessings of Democratic poll icies will be so universally recognized that the people will never take the horseshoe from the White House door,
 On State Line
 Ohio and Indiana both contributed to the immense crowd which greeted MT. Bryan at College Corners, which is on the State line. He was enthusiastically received there. and in a speech of twenty minutes duration discussed several questions, say ing:
 "I have been a candidate before and dur ing the last four years you have been able to read all the Republican papers have had to say about me. 1 read the other day new objection to me, that l was danger ous because I was honest. You have had some of the dangers that come from dis honesty, and don't you think for a change you had better try the dangers that come from hinesty. There is one consolation about this charge, I believe that l have convinced the Republicans that when say a thing I mean 1t, and 1 want you to be- leye me when I say that if am elected President every power of the President will be employed 10 make it impossible for private monopoly to exist under the American flag"
 MT. Bryan spoke for five minutes at Ham, ilten, and was heartily cheered
 MT. Bryan received a very cordial recep- ton in Cincinnati He was met at the de- pot by an immense crowd, and while being driven to the Music Hall under the escort of the Duckworth Club he was welcomed by as large an audience inside as could be packed into the big structure. The crowd in the interior had been awaiting MT Bry- an for three hours when he arrived. It had not been intended that the crowd should be admitted into the hall till o'clock, but they broke the doors down and helped themselves to all available space. MT.

At Troy
At Troy MT. Bryan said:

At Troy MT. Bryan said:
 T know that this is . Republican county, but it is in the Republican counties that we expect to make our gains because we believe Republicans think more of their country than they do of the party, and 1t Is their patriotism that we appeal to in tnls campaign We are not able to buy people if we wanted to we are not able to coerce people if we desired to; but believe we can appeal to the conscience and to the judgment of the American reo- ple.'
 The schedule did not include speech at Dayton, but when MT. Bryan's special train reached there a crowd of several thousand people was assembld at the station. MT Bryan had been notified that there was a desire to present him with a silver horse shoe from the Hargurnery Liederkranz Society When MT. Bryan appeared on the rear platform he was greeted by prolonged and munitions applause. A committee of three ladies, representing the society, then pressed their way to the front of the crowd and handed him a box containing not only the horseshoe, but a colored portrait of MT. Bryan, a gold mounted badge and a letter explaining that in contest for the horse shoe MT. Bryan had received 176 against 25 votes cast for Mckinley.
 MT. Bryan replied briefly, saying: "I de- sire the ladies who presented this horseshoe to bear my greetings to the members of the Haraguery Society, and say to them that while cannot make them speech in Ger man, I can say "ich danke shen;" tell them l am glad to know the Republican appeal to the Germans has been in vain, as the Republicans have appealed in vain to other citizens, for while the Germans want good money they want good government also, and the Republicans have mistaken the Germans when they think they are more anxious for the kind of money they have than they are about the government under

MR. BRYAN MAKES
 SPEECHES IN OHIO Given Housing Reception in the Presidents Home State HE AROUSED ENTHUSIASM Days Tour Brought to Close at Gin. einnati, Where a Big Meeting
 Was Held Introduced by
 Judson Harmon
HE AROUSED ENTHUSIASM

Cincinnati, October 31.-The Democratic Presidential candidate, William J. Bryan made his first speech here tonight that he has made during the campaign. He arrived on special train at D. m., and went di- rect to Music Hall, where he talked for an hour. Hon. Judson Harmon, attorney gen. eral under President Cleveland, presided at the meeting, and there were many other leading Democrats present. The doors were open at p. m., but more than enough to fill the hall were present before o'clock
 The day was spent entirely in this State, and the itinery covered the country be- tween this city and Toledo. Beginning with an hours speech at Toledo at 10 a. m., Mr. Bryan spoke in succession at Wausson, Ma poleon, Ottawa, Lima, Wapakoneta, Sidney, Piqua, Troy, Dayton. Hamilton and Col lege Corners. With the exception of To- ledo speech, none of the others extended over twenty-five minutes in length, and six of them were only five minutes long. A majority of the places where stops were made were small towns, and a rule the crowds were not large. There were fine audiences at Toledo, Wausson, Piqua, Day ton and College Corners, as well as here
 Five-minute stops were made at the towns of Sidney. Piqua and Troy. At Sid ney MT Bryan charged that in order to be a Republican these days a man had to change his politics at a moments notice and to change often. He accused the Re- publicans of being both sides of almost every issue before the country during re- cent years, and pointed out as especially conspicuous the attitude of President Me Klnley on the Porto Rcan question.
 Piqua furnished the best crowd of the day up to the arrival at that place, and after leaving Toledo MT Bryan dwelt on the question of trusts, and among other things said:
 q want you to remember that when mill closed down under a Democratic ad- ministration all the Republicans pointed to it as an evidence that low tariff was bad, but when a trust closed down a mill, not a Republican dares to say word about the closing down of the mill. You will find all over this country today the trusts are closing down mills and throwing upon the laboring men the burden or maintaining the high prices and as the trust develops you will find that more and more laboring men will be made dependent upon the word of a few trust magantes.
