admirers, who were anxious to grasp
his hand. Mr.. Bryan spoke for an hour
emphasizing as in the rest Of his
speeches the antitrust and anti-im-
perialistic plank of the Democratic
platform. When Dayton was reached
Mr.. Bryan had not finished his dinner
fact that every minute was precious
owing to the close schedule upon which
the train was running. induced him to
leave the table and allow himself to
he escorted to the waiting carriage
The meeting in Dayton was note
worthy. There Mr.. Bryan addressed
between $4,000 and 10000 people at the
fair grounds And It was one of the
most enthusiastic meetings of the whole
day.
! Montgomery county is normally Re-
publican stronghold but II what the
Democratic leaders there say is true,
this year It may go for Bryan. In 1896
the county gave Mckinley 1888 votes
and Bryan 1880. Last fall Judge Nash
went out of this county with $500
plurality over Mclean. One reason for
these large Republican pluralities is
! that the Democratic party has been
sodly demoralized with factional bick-
crings up to today. This morning, how
ever the hatchet was buried and the
warning factionists shook hands.
Peace was brought about by Hon. c.
w. Baker, of Cincinnati, who spoke to
the immense crowd that gathered at the
fair grounds before the arrivel of the
Bryan party. Mr.. Baker met with the
!. various local leaders during the morn
ing, heard both sides to the long drawn
out feud and then proposed settle
ment of differences. His proposal was
accepted. The leaders say they will
carry the county now.
One of the features Of the immense
meeting was the presence of prominent
'German-Americans who voted for Nc
Kinley in 1896, but who this year are
committed to Bryan's cause. Twenty
four of them were on the stage, which
had been erected In the race track, d.
rectly in front Of the grand stand, and
seventy-slx others who had been named
as vice-presidents were unable to reach
the platform, and so had to be content
with seats in the grand stand.
John ]. Doren acted as chairman Of
the meeting. Ex-Mayor Linxweiler, a
former Mckinley man, was prominent
on the stand.
1t was raining hard long before Mr..
Bryan reached the fair grounds, yet the
people stood patiently awaiting his
coming and listened intently to him
throughout the hours speech.
