Abilene weekly reflector., 1900-10-25


the speech was in progress. Evident
ly, too, quite large percentage of
the students were in sympathy with
Mr.. Bryan and some of them shouted
Justify for him when his replies to the
questions of their fellows were es-
pecially to their liking. Mr.. Bryan
was generally voted to have met the
occasion successfully and that he did
so was evidenced by the fact that the
interruptions were fewer and farther
apart as the speech proceeded and at
last ceased altogether.
The day was rendered interesting by
spirited meeting at Auburn, the
home during his life time of Secretary
Seward and by Mr.. Bryan's pointed
reference in his speech there to the
manager of an important manufactur.
ing enterprise located at that point,
which he evidently intended should
have greater than local application.
Speeches were also made during the
day at Cortlandt and Binghamton and
at several other smaller points. The
days work closed with a meeting at
Rochester late at night. The meet
ings of the day were generally well
attended and those at Ithaca and
Dinghamton were especially large.
Hanna In Bryan's State.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2O.-With pros
perity as his principal topic of dis
cussion, Senator Hanna Travelled
through the eastern tier of counties
of Nebraska yesterday, making
speeches in over dozen cities and
towns and winding up at night at
Lincoln, the home of Mr.. Bryan, where
an immense demonstration had been
arranged in his honor Most of the
district covered by the republican
leaders yesterday is distinctly agri-
cultural, and, speaking to the farmers,
who again in many instances made
up large proportion of the crowds
that greeted him, Senator Hanna took
present and past industrial conditions
as his topic. Senator Hanna did by
far the greater part of the speaking,
Senator Frye speaking but twice, in
Guiding a brief address at Madison,
Senator Aliens home. His speeches
were as a rule, more lengthy than
those of any previous day of the tour
and in order to complete the pro-
gramme the first speech yesterday
morning, at Sioux City, Ia, occurred
before eight o'clock
To-day, the last day of the tour,
will be spent for the most part in
the extreme southeast portion of the
state, the two principal meetings be-
ing at Nebraska City in the afternoon
and Omaha in the evening.
Roosevelts ronr Of West virginia Ended
Hinton, w. Va, Oct. 2O.-Gov. Roose-
velt and party closed their tour of
West Virginia last night after one of
the longest journeys in his western
trip. Starting from Parkersburg, on
the Upper Ohio, in the morning, he
made speeches at different points
along the Ohio river, notably Point
Pleasant and Huntington and from
the latter place started up the Great
Kanawha valley, making speeches
along the way and going across the
river at Charleston to witness great
demonstration at the state capital and
make an address of some length at
the wigwam. At some places in the
mining regions there was a liberal
use of powder in the cannonading as
the special train arrived and the
miners got up all sorts of demonstra-
tions in honor of the vice presidential
candidate. From Charleston the
special train proceeded over the
Chesapeake & Ohio railway directly
across the mountains, where the pop
ulation was not so dense as along the
rich valleys which were passed during
the day.
