CUNIBERIAND,N ND, Sept. 4.-The open
ing of the Democrats campaign for the
States of Maryland and West Virginia, at
this Point, was rendered memorable by the
appearance on the same platform OF the
Democratic national standard bearer, Hon
w. j. Bryan, and United States Senator
George L, Wellington, who was elected as
a Republican. Both gentlemen were IN
good voice, and both spoke with their ac-
customed force.
Senator Wellington's speech marked mis-
formal renuncntion OF party ties on ac-
count of the issues growing out of the
war with Spain. He had for this reason
prepared his speech with care, and he read
it from type-wr.tten manuscript
Mr. Bryan spoke without notes. and he
appeared at the meeting almost imme-
diately nfter the arrival of his special
train.
The journey of the Presidential candie
date ACROSS the State was not devoid OF
labor for hin. for while he left the train
only once on the journey, he made a num-
Der of brief addresses from the rear plat
form of the hindmost car.
At Benwood imme{i.a tely nfter crossing
the Ohio River about noon, Mr.. Bryan
found Mr.. McGraw and Colonel l.. Victor

was called to an extract from a New York
Republican newspaper, saying tnat Mt.
Bryan had made more money out OF the
oat crop raised on his Lincoln farm the
present season than the entire farm had
cost him. putting the result S1,4G0 on 12O
acres of land.
Mr.. Bryan said: "The entire farm con-
tains only 80 acres and cost me nearly
81, eco, although the land is not worth that
much today. My oat crop will not bring
me over $40. The five acres upon which
the oats were raised cost me little more
than S1G0 an acre. 50 that the gross income
this year will be less than eight per cent
on the original investment"
PRACTICAL DEI&POTISA1.
At Fairnont, Mr. Bryan closed as fol-
lows:
The Republican policy means that we
shall have a form OF Republic here and
Il practical despotism in the Orient.
In 1856 the Republicans said that every
dollar must be good as every other dol
lar, and we say that every citizen must
be as good as every other citizen, and
/ the same constitution shall protect them

At Deer Park,-Mr- Bryan left the train
