 of Bryan.

Cincinnati O., Sept. 22.--The real ac- tivities of the campaign have begun for William Howard Taft. the Republican Presidential candidate.
 Three political addresses were the demands upon him during this. his last day in the city that was to have been the scene of his entire prediction work. Tomorrow he will begin his journey of speech making through the West
 Not since the candidate was notified officially of his nomination has the city of Cincinnati been so thoroughly awake politically as tonight. when marching clubs from Indianapolis. Co., lumbus, Hamilton and other places in the Buckeye State lent the blaze of torch and the blare of trumpet as an escort to the candidate who was the principal feature of the rally of the Na- tionaI League of Republican Clubs at Music Hall.
 Al noon Mir. Taft addressed the del- egates to the National Convention of Negro Baptists, who had come here from Lexington, Ky, for the purpose. Previously to this he looked in upon the work of the convention of the Na- tional League of Republican Clubs and at once was introduced for speech. In these efforts the talk was brief. His expression of sympathy for the strug- gles of the negro race elfcited warm applause from the Baptist ministers, who met the candidate at the Sinton Hotel, and his words to the convention were warmly received.
 It was tonight, however, that MT. Taft made his strongest effort. After reviewing before an audience which from the first showed a decided liking for him, the record of the Republican Party as one of action and future re- liability, he depicted his idea of the Democratic policy of promise" and then devoted himself to an analysis of Mir. Bryan. This was the first time

The wagon was packed with dogs and so closely they could only chew at each other and not get enough room to fight Jack was glad of this and slunk up against the side of the wire caging and looked out. He had partially remembered the way they had come and so was much surprised to note the wagon taking a different direction. At last 1t stopped on bluff above the river.

 Among the reasons advanced by MT. Wilson for the selection are that the camel is the original water wagon; that 1t can discern a fresh supply of water further than an yother duad- ruped; that 1t can travel faster than the elephant or donkey and that it Is under no necessity of getting hump on itself.

Mir. Taft had paid his respects to his opponent fin any extended manner. and what he said was listened to with great interest and considerable show of en- thusiasm.
 Preceding the night meeting, the parade was witnessed bv crowds which thronged the streets. The attendance at Music Hail equalled the capacity of that, the largest assembly hall in the city.
 Those who spoke besides Mir. Taft were President John Hays Hammond, of the League, Rev. Dr. John wesley Hill, pastor of the Metropolitan Tenn pie, New York, and Job Hedges an at- torney of New York.
 John Hays Hammond was reelected by exclamation as President of the Re- publican National League this atter- noon.
 A change in the constitution was adopted providing for four vice presi- dents in order to recognize all sec tions, and the following were chosen' : Harry H. Myers. of Little Rock Ark.; W. H.

 An invitation for the next conven- ton was received from Atlanta. Ga.
 The audience was regaled with re- view of the entire procession which marched down one aisle and up another in the huge Music Hall.
 MT. Taft followed the famous Blaine Club, the last in the line of march. and his appearance was the inspira- tion for demonstration which lasted for more than ten minutes
 AS soon as order was restored he was introduced in a word by President Hammond. of the league. and at once began his speech.
