He Addressed a Monster Meeting at Co.,
 IumbuS Last Night
The Conclusion of Twelve Speeches During the Day to Enormous CrOwds--There Was No AIusiOn to the Haskell Affair.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 23-Twelve speeches to enormous crowds marked the. second entry of William J. Bryan. the democratic candidate for presi- dent, into Ohio during the present campaign. His concluding speech was made here tonight to an over flowing crowd of 10000 persons, while just previously he had addressed the largest audience that ever assembled in Memorial hall.
 Mir. Bryan's appearance on the plat form created a scene of the widest enthusiasm, which took some time to die out, but the demonstration was repeated when he was formally in troduced by James KnbOUrne, the democratic candidate for governor of Ohio several years ago. While Mir Bryan was speaking. Judge Harmon, the present democratic candidate for governor of the state, and others were addressing the crowd outside. In none of his remarks did Mir. Bryan touch on the bribery charge against Governor Haskell.
 During the day in this city the democratic candidate for president spoke to four thousand committee men, the number being so large that the hall was emptied in order to ac- commodate those who had not heard him talk on organization. These meetings were followed by addresses to the Commercial Travellers League on the trusts and to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Fire men.
 His remarks tonight were on the issues of the campaign generally, but his speech to the representatives of the brotherhoods was devoted exclu- sively to the labor question, and more particularly the plank of the democratic platform. demanding a trial by jury in cases of indirect con- tempt. In these remarks he took Oc- casion to refer to the attempt made in 1896 to pass a law covering such cases, and he quoted a telegram in behalf of S0OOOO employees, asking that the proposed law of 1896 be passed.
 MT. Bryan used that as an argU- ment against the position of MT. Taft that the plank of the democratic platform relating to indirect contempt

that the Nebraskan It'll hopes that the
Texan can be made real factor in the

make Bailey chairman OF the committse

will meet late this afternoon to select the

orally predicted today that former Con-
gresham Theodore E. Bell, of Oslifor-

convention on the opening day.
Sentiment among the subcommittee
members htrs Is favorable 10 the rtsn-
ton of Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, as

Unless Bryan himself vetoes the propo-
siliou, TaggArt will likely succeed him
