Rival Meetings Fail to Keep
People Away.


met at the station by torchiight pro-
cession consisting of men on foot and
horseback and was escorted to a square
in the center of the city, where he
smoke from a platform in the open air.
The meeting was by far the largest
of the day, and it was thoroughly en-
thusiastic. The Republicans also had
torchlight procession in the city tonight
with speeches in a public hall by Sen
ator Spooner and w. D. Bynum. AS a
consequence, the city was full of red
fire and political enthusiasm.
The lines of march of the two pa
rades were so arranged as not 20 con-
fict, and there was no physical clash.
A majority of the meetings during the
day were not so largely attended nor so
demOnStratiye as those of the Indiana
and Illinois tour of last week. Rain
threatened during the greater part of
the day and this circumstance doubt
less had a 6ampening influence on the
ardor of the crowds, as well as upon
their attendance.
When Mr.. Bryan was introduced at
Springfield, where he had one of the
best crowds of the day, some enthusi-
astic member of the crowd shouted
"Hurrah for the farmer president The
exclamation attracted Mr.. Bryan'S at
tentiOn and he said:
81 do not want to be elected under
false pretenseS. I am not a farmer:
am an agriculturaliSt. You know the
difference between them. A farmer is
q man who makes his money on the
farm and spends it in town, while an
agriculturalist is a man who makes his
money in town and spends it on the
farm"
This definition pleased the audience
and all listened attentively to his
speech throughout. At this point, Mr..
Bryan devoted his principal attention
TO the trusts and his arguments were
along the usual lines.
Germans in Line for Bryan.
At Dayton the meeting was held at
the fair grounds, and Mr.. Bryan spoke
from an open stand erected on the
race course. Probably the most inter-
esting feature of this meeting was the
fact that out of every hundred visitors
at the meeting, twenty-fOur were Ger
mans, who either as Republicans or
gold Democrats opposed Mr.. Bryan's
election four years ago. One of them
was an ex-mayor of the city.
Mr.. Bryan said:
THE soldier is in more danger if his
interests are LETT to men who stand
at the head of great monopoIies than
he is If he leaves his interests to those
who belong to the common people. 1
will go further than that. I will say
that the welfare of the union soldier
and his pension are safer IN the hands
of confederate soldier than in the
hands OF a great monopoly, for the con-
federate soldier knows something about
the sacrifices of war, while the heads
of syndicates only know war as an
opportunity for the accumulation of
great fortunes out of the peoples suf-
Ierings. But, my friends, the Repub-
Hcan insults the soldier when he as
sumes that the soldier is not a citizen
as well as pensiOner. If he was will
ing to fight in order to wipe out of the
Declaration of Independence an incep-
tiOnal clause that excluded the black
man, he would be willing to vote now
to keep another inceptiOnaI clause from
being put in the declaration excluding
the brown man. The soldier who did
not believe that the black man ought
to be sold for 81, 600 will not be in favor
of buying Filipinos in a job lot at ST.

Mr.. Bryan defined his feelings about
his own election, saying:
4 am more interested in the result
of this election as a citizen than as a
candidate. 1 am more interested as
father than l am as a Democrat.
can live better under q Republican ad-
miniStratiOn than most Republicans
who vote. If can make half as much
as the Republicans say 1 can. 1 can
make more criticiSing the administra-
ton than You Republicans can make
under it. If my farm does as we'll as
the Republicans say, 1 could live on
my farm and 1 would not need Office.
1.-The president says in his letter of
acceptance that you must be careful
not TO hurt the good trusts and spends
more time telling you net to hurt the
good ones than he does in telling you
how to hurt the bad ones The Repub-
hcan candidate for vice president
spends more time denouncing those VINO
denOunce the trusts than he spends de-
nOuncing the trusts. But why speak
or what the president says? Why
Of rarfa - -
vice presidency says. when 1 can quote
You authority from headquarters? Mr..
Hanna says there are no trusts. Do
You think that the Republican party is
going to destroy the trusts?
when election day approaches the
trust magnate says. Wei we will
wait and see how you vote before we
will tell YOU whether we viii give you
your daily bread or not
do you believe that it is safe to have
that condition in this country. Is it
safe to make 1t possible for these great
mOnOpOlieS to control the labOring men
that they can threaten them with idle
ness and starvation if they do not vote
the Republican ticket? Suppose a man
has spent a lifetime learning some par
ticular industry and there is but one
man in the nation to whom he can ap-
ply Tor employment, If the indStry is
built up and monopoly esta blished.
Then if he is turned off ne loses the
benefit of his skill. He is an outcast
and must learn over. The duress that
that monopoly can place on that man is
a duress that ought not to be supported
in this country"
During the afternoon Mr. Bryan
made ten-minute speech at Xenia.
Washington court house, Greenfield
and WaVerly-
Mr.. Bryan began his speech at Ports
mouth at o'clock and he had no soon
err commenced than a bugle call was
sounded upon house top across the
street. There were other noisy demon
STATIONS and it looked for a time as if
there were to be unfriendly Interrupt
tions. Mr.. Bryan caught the situation
promptly and said:
Perhaps that is simply a touch of
nilitarism."
This turned the laugh of the crowd
upon the buglner and he was heard no
more for the time, though he sounded
his horn at intervals during the entire
eYeniE1A.
Mrs. Bryan Will Join Him.
Hr. Bryan announced during the
breakfast hour that Mrs. Bryan would
Join him on the 9th instant in New
York and remain with him until after
the closing of the campaign. He said
