Incidents of the Trip of Bryan over
the Ohio River Road Into rms
Cfty-ScveraI Platform Talks.

the Ohio River Road Into This
Cfty-scveraI Platform Talks.
The special car conveying Hon. W.
J. Bryan and party over the Baltimore
e. Ohio railroad, was abandoned at
Parkersburg, and after the meeting IN
that city the train departing at i've
o'clock was boarded. Col McGraW
had wired for a reservation of accom-
modations for twenty-five in the Pull
man car, but this precaution did not
prevent the party from being uncom-
fortably crowded, nor did it save Col.
BRYAN from the well meant annoyance
OF scores of persons who wanted to
grasp his hand. The chair car porter
had difficulty in keeping people out OF
the car, and finally gave up the effort
In the party, in addition to Col.
Bryan, his secretary, a dozen neWspa-
per correspondents, and Col. McGraw,
were eX-Congressman John D. Alder
son, Hon. James Miller, Hon. George
NJ. Mccoy. Hon. Jake Fisher, Col ChaS.
E. Wells, Gen. j. w. st. Clair, Hon. j..
Hop. Woods, Hon. J. V. Blair and half
dozen other prominent Democrats OF
this State.
The first stop was made at St.
Marys, where a two minute speech was
made by Mr.. Bryan from the rear plat
form. At Sistersville, a crowd of 1000
had assembled and the roofs of all the
buildings in the vicinity of the depot
were crowded. Mr.. Mccoy introduced
Mr. Bryan, and he addressed a lew
words to the crowd, the train pulling
out while he was talking At every
station at which he stopped he was
compelled to show himself, and he
shook hands with several hundred peo-
pie on the way to Wheeling.
All the passengers on the front
coaches also went back into the Pull
man to meet Bryan, and many of them
fingered for some time, so that the car
was crowded at all times. At Sisters
ville the train was boarded by MEM
bers of the reception committee from
Wheeling. Among them were the fol-
lowing, namely:
Col. Thomas O'Brien, Charles H.
fancy, zen. T. S, Riley, Mayor Sween-
ey, Nelson Hubbard, John o. Pendle5on,

AT THE HOTEL.

At the Windsor Mr.. Bryan dined
with a party of his friends and al
though fatigued from his long tour
through the lutte Mountain State chat
ted very pleasantly to those whom he
met. He ate abstemiously, selecting
only few dishes from the elaborate
menu that was provided in inimitable
style. He ordered tender loin steak
with mushrooms. fried chicken, Long
Branch potatoes, cup of coffee, crush
ed tomatoes. and peaches and cream.
The party sat at one side of the dining
room. Mr.. Bryan was at the head of
the table with Col. Thomas O'Brien
at his left, and Attorney ]. J. Con-
if at his right. All during the meal
Mayor Sweeney and officer Ike Shields
closely guarded the dining room door
to prevent the crowd that filled the
hall from interrupting Mr.. Bryan dur
ing the meal. Many admirers of the
next President filed past the doorway,
pausing to peer in at him, passed on
apparently satisfied. Some remarked
that Mr. Bryan's features failed to dis
guise the fact that he was growing
older, while others declared that he
was the same Mr.. Bryan.
AS he came out of the dining room,
a number of people shook his hand and
cheerful greetings were exchanged. He
showed particular attention to little
girl who stepped forward and extended
her hand to him as he stood in the
door way. With a kind smile he ac-
knowledged her greetings and seemed
to notice no others about him until
after he had placed in her hand "Bry-
an button. which he took from his
pocket.
While Mr.. Bryan was returning to
the hotel two or three ladies on the
balcony of the building greeted him
with applause and he responded by
raising his hat.
Mr. Bryan remained at the Windsor
last night, and departed this morning
at 1880 o'clock for the West.

came down TO the station at Deer Park

Then he permitted newspaper phot-

Listened to With Close Attention and Often
Enthusiastically Applauded.
His Journey Through the State From CIarks=
burg to Parkersburg and Thence
to Wheeling One COntinu-
GUS Ovation.

Mr.. Bryan's tour through the State,
him, concluded in this city last night
with a demonstration which surpassed
any former occasion of the kind, both
as to attendance and enthusiasm.
Long before the Ohio River train
bearing the Bryan party drew into the
station hundreds of people began gath
ering on the public landing to greet
the distinguished visitor, and every
avenue leading to the city presented
the scene of pilgrimage. Large dele
cations came in over various roads
from points in the State, Eastern Ohio
and Pennsylvania, taking advantage of
the exceptionally low excursion
rates which were offered for
the meeting. There was also
an almost continuous string of
skiffs, johnboats, yachts and boats tow
ing barges to the wharf, crowded with
people from upper and lower river
points. The turnout was also very
materially augmented by the residents
OF suburban towns who began arriving
early in the evening over the different
electric railways and consequently each
of these lines was taxed to it's utmost
capacity.
While the crowd was waiting, the oc-
casion was enlivened by a series of stir
ring patriotic selections, rendered by
the Opera House band, stationed at the
lower end of the stand and also by oc-
casional cheers from the assemblage
for the peerless advocate of Democracy,
who seems destined to be the next
President of the United States.

MR.. BRYAN'S ADDRESS

When Mr.. Bryan, escorted by the re-

platform at the water front it was rain
ing, and promised a storm. He ad-
vanced TO the front of the stage. was
briefly announced by Chairman Hand
ian. and then. holding an umbrella
over his head, the speaker said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
The presence of so many people at
this meeting tonight indicates that
you are interested in the issues pre-
sented in this campaign, and the fact
that you are willing TO stand here in
the rain is additional testimony of your
interest. II is not curiosity, because

not here simply to see man who is

may have had was gratifed in 1896, and

ued on to the station and it was there
fore necessary to extend the opening.
The crowd which has now swollen to
thousands eagerly pressed forward to
get a glimpse of Mr.. Bryan, monopo-
hzing every available foot of space in
and around the depot and it was with
considerable difficulty that the police
authorities succeeded in making pass
age way for the party to pass through
to the hotel. The reception given the
distinguished political tourist was en-
thusiastic in the extreme, his presence
being greeted with cheers prolonged
and loud.
Unprecedented Crowd.
The immense crowd was probably
slightly disappointed by the fact that
the meeting was not opened until an
hour later. This delay was unavoid-
able, as Mr.. Bryan, who v-as fatigued
from his trip during the morning and
afternoon needed rest and lunch
con before making his address at this
point.
While waiting for Mr.. Bryan, Joseph
Handlan, chairman of the meeting. verv
thoughtfuly filled gap in the arrange
mentS by Introducing Hon. John o.
Pendleton. He made an appropriate
speech, touching upon the political sit
uation generally. His remarks were re-
ceived with deserved appreciation, and
served to stir up enthusiasm among his
hearers. After Mr.. Pendleton conclu-
ded, MIR. Bryan was escorted from the
hotel TO the platform, and so the de-
lay had no effect whatever in marrlng
the success of the meeting
When the Democratic leader appear
ed on the stand he was
Greeted With an Ovation
that has probably never been accorded
so heartily to a speaker at a similar
demonstration in the old Nail City S
history. AS he proceeded to touch upon
one after another OF the leading poll
teal questions of the day, and thor
oughly explained the merits Of the just
principles he so earnestly and consci-
entiously advocated, he was frequently
interrupted by cheers.
The police experienced great Difficult
ty in forcing an opening through the
crowd on the wharf, while Mr.. Bryan
was being escorted to the platform, as
the nominees friends were eager in
their desire TO reach him with the hope
of shaking his hand Just at this time
there was unfortunately a shower OF
rain, which caused quite a number OF
people to seek the nearest shelter. or
return to their homes.
1t is estimated that fully fifteen
thousand people congregated on the
landing, and the platform was so adj
vantageously located. being at the
waters edge and fronting the Windsor,
that everybody had an opportunity to
see and hear the speaker. During Mr..
Bryan's speech the throng extended
from the stand nearly TO the railroad
track. The river at this point probably
never before presented such a scene of
conglomerated river craft, filled with
people, and those who were unable to
get close enough to hear the speaker
were content to be spectators from dis
tant points. The wall OF the Pewikey'
depot and the windows of nearly every
building on Water street between the
Windsor alley and Twelfth street were
crowded and the reserved seats on a
