The day was spent entirely Ia this

poleon, Ottawa, Lima, Wapakoneta,
Sidney. Piqua, Troy, Dayton, Haml-
ton and College Corner With the ex-
ception of the Toledo speech, none Of

There We're some real fine audiences
at Toledo, Wauseon Piqua, Dayton
and College Corner, as well as here.
Mr.. Bryan received very cordial
reception in Cincinnati He was met
at the depot by an immense crowd
and being driven to the Music hall
under the escort of the Duckworth
club. he was there welcomed by thou
sands on the outside of the building
and by as many people on the inside
of the great building as could be
packed into It. The crowd in the in
terror had been awaiting Mr.. Bryan
for three hours, and on account of the
heat and the packed conditions of
the hall there was great impatienee
until he entered the hall. 1t had not
been intended that the crowd should
be admitted until o'clock. but they
broke the doors down an hour earlier
and helped themselves to all the avail.
able space.
Mr. Bryan made his first speech %
the evening to the crowd on the OUT
side of Music hall He talked for
only a few minutes and his address
was in the most general terms, but il
was received with loud applause.
1t took l. minutes to get the in
terror audience quiet after Mr. Bryan
made his appearance about 9 o'clock.
The applause was general and pro-
longed. and it afterwards degenerat.
ed into wild demands for Bryan,
which did not cease While Judge Har-
mon and Mayor Jones spoke. They
preceded Mr.. Bryan, but they spoke
with but little comfort on account Of
the clamor.
Judge Judson Harmon, who was at.
torney general in the cabinet of Pres
ident Cleveland, presided and spoke
at length in Introducing Colonel Bryan.
Referring to the Philippines he said
.When our commissioners went to
dictate terms of peace to Spain, they
bore Instructions These have been
withheld, although the peo-
pie had a right to know them when
the treaty took effect When they
come to life, as they must. we shall
find that they Were changed after
the negotiations began. do the Pres.
ident the justice to believe he did not
ut first intend to step into the shoes
of the king of Spain, but only meant
to pull or buy him off the backs of
the Filipinos This was plain
duty He did not then mean to buy
him out and continue the same bust
ness at the old stand. But the Presi-
dent is better at seeing his plain
duty than ut doing it. He takes the
wrong kind of people into his conf
dence and puts himself under their
control. They turned him about face.
We can guess who they were, because
they did the same thing with him
later about Porto Rico. and as he
had committed himself 10 his duty
in q message to congress. they had
to turn him in the open. 1t was well
enough to make Spain relinquish to
us all the claims to the Philippines
which were largely pretended.
"All we had to do was to declare,
then or later, that we took and held
them in trust for the people thereof,
who. by our request, had fought side
by side with us to overthrow Spain.
What should we have thought if the
French during our revolution had
bought out Englands pretensions and
then turned their arms to subdue u.s.
We had no formal treaty with the
FilipinoS as the French had with us,
but honest people do not raise tech
niealities about the obligations of
honor and fair dealing. Many thought.
and he whom | am soon to introduce
was one of them. that it woul9 he
best to end the war and get rid OF
Spain by ratifying the treaty, since
it was made, and then declare and
carry out this trust 7 believe they
were right but they were deceived
as to the real intentions of the Pres
ident, and by the resolution the sem
ate adopted carefully worded so as to
appear a promise and prove an eva
sion. So we went from an honorable
war to one of conquest against those
who helped us because they thought,
and we made them think, we were
helping them. We have shed more
blood and spent more money in this
war than in the war with Spain, and
still our boys are sent to disease and
Still the tax gatherer calls for more"
Judge Harmon introduced Mr.
Bryan as the next President of the
United States. There was a great
f1utter of handkerchiefs and a shout,
but Mr. Bryan did not have great
difficulty in securing comparative
quiet after he began
The speech was largely a repetition
of former arguments.
