Martin's Ferry. 0., Oct. lust day of William .1. Bryan's Ohio cum- paign wns bcgun.by the cry little physical preparation for tho speech-making ordeal. He did not get to bed on board the "Idlur," his sptcinl until after one o'clock Tuesday morning, That wu.s at Zatiesville, where the people waited more t-hnn three hours beyond the time set for Mr.

Bryan's appearance, and heard three speeches by him after midnjght. The "Idler" was pulleu out of ZanesviHe at 1:30 u. nud waited on a siding v- caT Belluire until six o'clock. Then it was taken to the railway station of that Ohio river town where about 2,500 people were g-athercd. They shouted for Bryan, and a bnud played "Dixie" while the nominee was trying to get an extra 40 winks, but'he did not appear until eight o'clock.

He made a short speech, and 15 minutes Inter the train resinned its journey, ZBiicnvlIlo'8 Itemiirkiiblo Demonstration. With one exception the Zanesviile demonstration was the most remarkable in some particulars of any in which Mr. Bryan has been the eent.ru) figure. The exception wns at Aberdeen, S. where the candidate arrived, at m-arly two o'clock in the morning to find that three large gatherings had been expecting him during the many hours his delayed train was endeavoring- to rcnke up lost time over the Dakota prairies, hud stuck sleepily but persistently to their plaees and waked up full of enthusiasm' and good humor.

Monday night the conditions differed in that Mr. Bryan reached ZanesviHe nn hour sooner than he arrived at Aberdeen, but when it is considered that one of his audiences in ihe Ohio town stood in a pouring rain to hi-nr him spuak and not permit the wetting it received to dampen its partisan ardor, the Zanes- affair may be considered the more remarkable after all. Many of the excursionists who went to ZanesviHe Monday to hear the democratic candidate luul decided to by late trains aud were obliged to rc- tnrn'to their homes before Mr. nmeh belated special came to a standstill at the Zanesville station. Many others, waiting for their trains to go, surrounded the candidate's ca.r whan it arrived and, fearful oC being left in Zanesville over'night, got rid of their bottled up enthusiasm in the neighborhood of the station.

'Mrs, Bryan, although very much fatigued, went with her husband to all three meeting's. The rain was coming down hard as they were conveyed in closed carriages past cheering crowds in the streets to a hotel, from the balcony of which he ppoke for 15 minutes lo 3,000 people who were seemingly unmindful of the downpour. Then he wns taken to a place with the suggestive name of Gold tali, said to-hold 2,500. It. was crowded to the doors, and the audience made up for the long- wait ringing cheers.

The, third nud last address was deliv- to a crowd of 4,500 in Memorial Imli, equally demonstrative. Then Mr. and Mrs, Bryan went back' to the "Idler" to the accompaniment of more cheers at the station'.

At Bridgeport the second stop of the morning wns made, Eifeeu hundred people, some''61 whom had been wailing since daybreak, heard him'. 'Yellow McKinley badges were-: the most conspicuous objects in the crowds nt Bridgeport and Martin's Ferry. At the latter place' a terrace, beside the track was covered with them. Some people had half a'dossfai of the insignius pinned on their coats; others hnd their hats decorated with the symbols of the gold No speech was made by Mr. Brya'n at Yorkville, where a small at hand, aud he told the 16 little girls in white and their solitary sister in golden array who with several.hundred others formed his audience at Brilliant, that, he couldn't make any speech that would come up to the name of their town.

Gold badges were noticeable in the throng of 6,000 n.t Steubenville, but not nearly so- numerous as at Bridgeport and Martin's: Ferry. Some young 1 men who wore yellow, however, interrupted the speech several times and Mr. Bryan answered their comments with some display of feeling. Bryan's Spirited Kebuko. "My.

A synopsis of his remarks is as follo.ws: He reviewed the fight the democratic oarty has been making some years for cheapness while the republicans have been contending that fair prices were more conducive to prosperity and happiness.and balled attention to the entire change of front made by the democrats in this campaign. They had abandoned the cheapness and were now declaring that the people want higher priced things. They had succeeded In their campaign'In ISM.had elected a president and congress or their own way of thinking and had brought in an era of cheap things. The farmers had eotten the cheapest coats they had ever -bought and purchased them with the cheapest wheat they had ever sold. He declared that Mr.

Bryan had been one of tho most ultra of the free traders who had brought about this condition of things and that 1C elected president he would silll advocate these same principles. He appealed. to the farmers of Indiana not to bet pimpted by the "take" notion that they could make themselves rich by declaring o. half-dollar a dollar.
