This record includes more speeches, more miles travelled and more territory covered than that. of all the other candidates for President or Vice President of the United States of all other parties for the last one hundred years. with the exception of the record made by William J. Bryan in 1896, and exceeds MT. Bryan's record, which was 599 speeches made and 1900 miles covered. This campaign was closed by a two-weeks tour of the State of New York, during which the candidate travelled 204S miles, through twenty-seven counties, and made 120 speeches, the ma- jority of them from the rear platform of the train.
