BunCo Steerer.
FIGHT WILL BE KEPT UP
One Party or the Other Must Triumph
Says the Nebraskan--Mayor Tom
|. Johnson's Slogan is Re-
duced Fare.
(By Associated Press.)

I URBANA, O., Aug. 5.--Four leading
Democrats opened the Ohio campaign
here to-day, two weeks In advance Of
tho Democratic State Convention. Will
liam j. Bryan had been engaged to adj
dress the Urbana Chautauqua Assembly
this afternoon, and the Democrats of
Champaign county held their convention
on the Chautauqua grounds during tho
forenoon, at which addresses we're made
Springfield; Mayor Tom l.. Johnson. Of
Cleveland. and ex-Congressman John j.
Lentz Of Columbus. The addresses all
attracted attention. because OF the direct
references to certain men as well as to
politics on which there are differences
Eithin the party. Brynn referred to ex-
President Cleveland repeatedly.
Mr.. Zimmerman referred to the fathers
of Democracy and the eternal principles
Of the party. Then came Mayor john
son and ex-Congressman Lentz, In en-
phatic declarations that this was no time
for dead issues" The "keynotes' OF
the last two speakers were not in accord
with those of Mr.. Zimmerman. whose
managers had secured the Champaign
county delegates for the nomination for
Governor before Mayor Johnson reached
the tabernacle. This Is Mr.. thinner
mans home county, and the convention
stood 1870 to SO for Zimmerman.
BUNCO sTDERER.
Mr.. Bryan received his greatest ova.
ton when he said: THE Democrats IN
1892 played confidence garse on the
people and put bunco steerer at the
head Of the party I want to say to you.
my friends. that the dlsreputable man
who stands on the street curbing and
leads the unwary traveller into q game
where he loses his money, is respectable
compared with the man who accepts the
SURFACES OF five millions OF people and
then leads them into Wall Street to be
betrayed.
Don't be deceived when they tell you
It was the silver question that drove
people out OF the party.
"Those who left the Democratic party
are divided into two classes-those who
left because they understood the issue in
the campaign and those who left because
they were deceived in the issue OF the
campaign Those who understood the
issue and left because they understood
| it can never return to the party until
they repent and show that their hearts
and sympathies are changed The fight
will continue in this country until one
| side or the other Is triumphant"
He said he had more respect for Re-
publican than for any one calling him
self a Democrat who would put his
principles on the auction block or into
junk shop"
The speech Of Mayor Johnson was ac-
cepted as Indicating that he was q re-
ceptive candidate for Governor. but that
he was not a candidate for Senator
Hanna's place.
Mayor Johnson indicated that II he
ran for Governor his platform would be
reduced fares on all railroads, in addi-
tlon to his well known views on taxation.
