to-day experienced his second encounter
Of tho campaign with college students 1t
occurred at ithaca and tn students were
from the Cornell Univ rsity. The Incl
dent was not 50 exciting as that at Ann

,roIIug men were not 50 persistent amt
did not work in such unison, but there
WAS one feature Of interest which was
not noticeable at Ann ArbGr. Iiis was
The participation of young women in the
affair.
4 hundred or more members Of the
opposite sex were station at wlf2l'o"S
in the High school just back and over

and they disturbed the proceedings 10 as
great .,1l extent as they could, by lowsr

tention OF the crowd. The young men
who Were below responded to these sig
nails with cries and Wells and they alSo
asked numerous questions WhNe SDsech
was in progress. Evidently. too. quite
in sympathy with Mr.. Bryan. and some
of them shouted Justify for him when ms
rcplies 10 the question Of their fellows
were especially to their liking
SUCCESSFULLY MET.
Mr.. BRYAN was generally voted to have
met the occasion successfully. aud that
he did so was evidenced by the fact that
The interruptions grew fewer ana farther
apart as the speech progressed, and at
last ceased altogether.
The day was rendered Interesting DE 4
spirited meeting 1T AUBURN, the home dur
ing his lifetime OF Secretary. Seward and
by Mr.. Bryan's pointed references in his
speech there to the manager OF an impor-
~t!lllt manufacturing enterprise located at
that point, which ne evidently intended
should have greater than local application.
Speeches were also made during the day
at Cortland and Btngilamton, and al sesve
raj other smaller points. The days work
closed with a meeting at Rochester late
tonight.
WELL ATTENDED.
The meetings Of the day were generally
well attended, and those at Ithaca and
Bingnamton were especially large. Proba-
bly, the BiHGhamton meeting was the most
enthusiastic meeting Of the day In all
instances except at the beginning of the
I,l.aca meeting close attention was given TO
the speeches.
1t was evident from the beginning of the
Ithaca meeting that the college students
meant at least TO relieve That meeting
from all charges of mOnoIony. Mr Bryan
was received there with cheers and shouts.
ana he was scarcely given an opportunity
TO express his appreciation of the sratit!ca-
ton he relt IN being, able to speak 10 the
students, when one OF them broke in With
the query: How about North Carolina?'
Mr.. Bryan responded to this question by
saying:
II VIII come to that in moment. but
if YOU VIII not hide down there l Will stop
now and tell you about il. | VIII tell you
thai If YOU will examine the conditions
prescribed by your administration Tor
voter in Porto Rico. you will find that 81
per cent of the colored men of voting age
cannot vote in Porto Rico under this aG-
rninislrations qualifications.
This answer brought forth great APP
plause.

When the Mckinley poster bearing the
Inscription Mckinley was right was
lowered from a window above Mr.. Bryans
head. and tt,en let fan 70 the ground, an
cid gentleman in the crowd exclaimed:
That is the way he VIII fall in Novelr-
Ser'
Mr.. Bryan took notice Of the incident,
saying:
Il do not object TO that poster being
nut out L; says that Mckinley was right,
but the question is when was ne right?
He has been on both sides OF every cues
tjor. Now. whilh side was he on when
he was right
Proceeding with his speech, Mr. Bryan
made an appeal especially directed to The
college students. urging them to stand
out against what he denominated the in
dustriai despotisn OF the trusts. lie also
presented his weil-known views concern
ing the increase OF the army and the
ACQUISITION of territory in The PACING
ocean.
THE HIGHER LAW.
Mr.. Bryan reached Auburn at $50 and
smoke TO several thousand people in Seward

dressed his audience was so located as
to cause him to face the bronze statue
CT William II. Seward. from whom the
square takes its name.
During his speech Mr.. BRYAN made IN
