TALKED TO THE FARMERS

BAINBRIDGE, N. z, October 29.-Mr.
Bryan began the first day Of the last week
of his campaign with a brief speech at this
place. His train had been run from New
York to Bainbridge via Albany during the
night and brought up here at Z o'clock.
Notwithstanding the early hour there was
throng Of people at the railroad station.
and Mr.. Bryan was compelled to respond to
their calls. He had not yet arisen, but he
dressed promptly and went to the rear
platform Of the Rambler, where he was
soon Joined by Mrs. Bryan, who will re-
main with him during the week.
There were loud cheers, both for Mr..
Bryan and his wife, and general de-
mand for handshake, which was acceded
to by both. The resident population had
been reinforced by train loads Of people
from other places.
Mr.. Bryan started the day with sched-
ule Of thirty speeches before him, but he
announced at the breakfast table that he
was never in better condition for the cam
patgn and said that he wanted to make all
the speeches so as to break his own record,
the highest number which he had hitherto
made in one day being twenty-seven.
This point developed a new orator in the
party in the person Of James c. Dahlman,
the Nebraska national committeeman.
While the crowd was waiting at the depot
for Mr.. Bryan, and clamoring for his ap-
pearance, Mr.. Dahlman stepped out on the
rear platform to explain the situation. Then
he made a speech, telling the people that
he had been with Mr.. Bryan from the be-
ginning of his campaign, and that he was
sure there would be a landslide in his favor.
There are gains everywhere, he said. Even
in Canton, the Presidents own home, where
Mr.. Bryan received only thirty-seven votes
in 1896, there is now a democratic club OF
hot md and ha
cluded that Canton is only sample of
what Is going on.
Mr.. Bryan was greeted by fine crowd
when he began to speak at cambridge. He
New York in order to come up into this
part of the state. I am glad to talk TO
farmers, for it seems to me that If the peo-
pie Of this country who are working on the
farm, who are making their living out of
the soil. will examine public questions very
few farmers will be able to give a reason
for voting the republican ticket.
I'm this part of New York you have a
great many republican farmers; in fact, the
republicans had admitted that the
cities are lost. They started out with the
full dinner pail as an argument. They
started out with the assertion that the
everybody would vote the republican tick
ct, and yet today the republicans are not
mentioning the full dinner pail any more"
Proceeding, Mr.. Bryan said that the re-
publicans had abandoned the idea of car
rying the cities and were now appealing TO
the farmers.
ONEONTA, N. Y, October 29.-It was
stated at Sidney. Mr.. Bryan's second stop
ping place of the day, that twenty-seven
carloads of people had gone from that
point to hear the national candidate speak
at cambridge, but notwithstanding this de-
pletion of the ranks there was still a good
crowd to hear the five-minute speech made
at Sidney.
At Unadlla Mr.. Bryan made another
fve-minute talk from the rear platform of
the Rambler. He told the people there
that he was not different from them. ex-.
cept that he occupied a more conspicuous
place before the country.
Speaking of the useessness of q large
army, Mr.. Bryan said that the democrats
stood today where the President said he
stood when he announced that the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines would be contrary
to our code Of morality and would be GRIM
inal aggression. This doctrine, he said, had
already been repudiated by the republican
administration, as there were now $4,000
Of our soldiers seasoned in the Philippine
Islands.
We should deal with the Filipinos ac-
cording to american principles, and not ac-
cordfng to European theories.
The train stopped at diego only long
enough for Mr. Bryan to step to the plat
form and tell the people there that he was
glad to have an opportunity to see them
and sorry that he could not make them a
speech.
Boys Shouted for Mckinley.
ONEONTA. N. Y, October 29.-Mr. Bry-
an spoke from an extemporized platform
near the railroad station at Oneonta at ell,
He was favorably received by all except a
few boys, who sat on a freight car and
shouted for Mckinley. At the beginning of
the speech he contended here, as at other
places that the mass of the people were
not getting their share of "the prosperity
we hear so much about"
Mr.. Bryan also referred voluntarily to the
Ice trust, and repeated that Mr.. Croker no
