PrrrsBCBa. Aug. 11. As the Bryan
train neared this city, the dwellers in
nearly all of the suburban homes were
ia their doors, waving their handker
chiefs. The train ran into the Pitts
burg depot at 6:50 p. m. It was im
HMdiately surrounded by acres and
acres of frantic people. When Mr.
Bryan emerged from the train, in spite
of the efforts of the large local commit
tee to carry out its program, the crowd
closed around him and it was a free-for-all
fight from that time on for every
person in the Bryan party except Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan and Mr. and Mrs. Bland.
When they entered tbeir carriages the
relentless throng closed around them
and seemed to bear them along at its
will. Through the various streets trav
ersed no available space could be dis
cerned. Every foot of ground along
the way was occupied by enthusiasts.
When the Central hotel was reached a
cordon of police was stationed at the
amain entrance and formed a narrow
passage way leading to the staircase.
No one was allowed to tread it except
he could show unmistakable credentials.
KJvallad Niagara's Tkaaders.
I While Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were sup
ping, the streets resounded with the con
tinnoris clamor from the thousands of
throats. Many marching clubs pierced
'the stubborn crowds amid showers of
pyrotechnics and a roar that would
have rivalled Niagara's thunders. The
evening meetings had been anaounced
jto occur at 8 o'clock in the Grand Opera
house and the Avenue theatre, kindred
jnalls, side by side and owned by the
jaaaae parties. Long before tho hour for
lopening the doors the entire street in
front of these structures was packed full
along the entire block, and after the
jdoors had been opened and the struct
ures were filled the crowd ont6ide had
suffered little perceptible diminution. A
'corps of about 100 policemen were on
daty at the various entrances, and in
'the course of the early evening there
was an Incipient riot in which one per
son was severelv beaten and some of the
officers had their brass buttons torn off.
When Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and mem
bers of their party rode around from the
hotel and entered the first hall both of
them were packed to their full standing
room capacity. The crowd outside lin
gered in not6y but peaceful disappoint
ment, singing, cheering and burning
red fire, and a tolerable rain that came
soon after the speaking began diminish
ing it but little, the street remaining
fall until the meeting closed. At the
first meeting Mr. Bryan was introduced
by Mr. James Miller, editor of the
Pittsburg Post. At the meeting in the
Avenue theatre Mr. Bryau was intro
duced to the audience by Joseph Holly,
the chairman of the Democratic county
central committee. Mr. Bryau was re-
ceived with great applause and in his
short speech was liberally punctuated
with applause.
Addresses were delivered also at both
nteetiugs by "Silver Dick" Bland and
J. Gilmore Johnson, Kansas member of
the national committee. Upon leaving
the opera house, Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
were driven to the Randall club under
the escort of members, and an official
of the club presented to each, one of the
clubs handsome badges. Mrs. Bryan
was made an honorary member with
her husband.
When Mr. Bryan returned to the
hotel, a large crowd followed aud in
sisted on another speech. The crowd
could hardly be driven from his rooms
to allow him to retire. The crowd was
so much larger than had been antici
pated that it could not be handled.
BLAND CALLS ON M'KINLEY.
Silver Advocate aad His
Wife Make a Frieadly Visit.
Camtox, O., Aug. 11. A delegation
of 60 prominent Democrats from Pitts
burg, who composed a citizens' commit
tee to escort Candidate Bryan from
Canton to that place, arrived here at
10:20 yesterday morning. Finding they
had time, the paity, headed by County
Chairman Hawley of Alleghany county
and Morris Forester, went to make an
informal call upon Major McKinley.
Mr. Forester acted as spokesman for the
party upon arriving at the McKinley
residence. He said that he believed
that any candidate for the presidency
was worthy of the greatest respect of
every one, regardless of political affilia
tion. The members of the delegation
had, therefore, called to pay their re
spects and to make a friendly call as
Aanerican citizens.
. In response. Governor McKinley said;
Mr. Chairman axdGestixmkx: I am
vary glad of this opportunity to greet you
and I am vary grateful for the generous
words spoken by your chairman, repre
sen ting another political organization.
Wa are all of u proud of our country and
of oar country's history and we should all
be determined to make this government
In the future, as In the past, the best gov
ernment in the world. Of you, who dis
agree with me politically, it is very grate
ful to have assurance of your personal
good will. I thank you. (Applause.)
i After which the members of the
committee were presented and shook
hands with Mr. McKinley. -;'
Distinguished callers on Major Mc
Kinley were the Hon. R. P. and Mrs.
Bland. They came here with a com
nsittee from Pittsburg, which made the
trip from the Iron City to meet the
Bryan party here. Mr. and Mrs. Bland
had gone to Alliance, a city 20 miles
east of here, ahead of the Bryan party,
.aa it was a part of the program to have
ja speech of some length at that place by
JMr. Bryan. While here Mr. Bland was
cold that an address would be mads
here, and be was prevailed upon by the
Pittsburg committee to return to Can
ton. The time spent at the McKinley
home by Mr. and Mrs. Bland was ap
parently very agreeable to both the hon
ored callers and to Major and Mrs. MCr
Kiuley.
When the 1:40 Pennsylvania train
Balled into Canton IS minutes late bear
ing Mr. Bzyan into this populous star
eoaatr, the home of Major McKinley
With 100,000 population, turned out in
thousand's to aceet their fellow towns

tained the compliment i.a his speech.
Special trains bad brought delegations
here from all oyer southeastern Ohio,
ad the Pittsburg Bryan delegation was
here in a special train tooscortMr,
Bryan to their city, Mr. Allen Cook,
the local Populist leader, escorted Mr.
Bryan to a flat car adjoining the Pull
man car Hungary, followed by Mr.
James E. Rice of Canton with Mrs'.
jSryan, After the applause had sun
aiaed, .wea Mayor Rice had finished
his presentation, r. Bryan said:

I Applause.)
He is tie neighbor, who, in the hour of

should feel free to make his ballot repre

sult in keeping your distinguished citizen
among you as a town-man still. I thank
yon for your kind attention and bid you
guodby.
At East Palestin, O., about 100 peo
ple were waiting and cheered lustily.
It was here that a man climbed
upon the steps and harangued the can
didate as follows: "Make a dollar worth
63 cents, will we, Bill? Nobody knows
that the ratio was fixed by our fore
fathers. Wasn't that it? Then we'll
tell them why we raised the ratio from
15 to 1C. Make her 1G. old sport. That's
what we want, see?" Mr. Bryan made
no response.
AN OPEN LETTER TO BRYAN.
Naw York World Asks HIsa ia Daaste Sev
eral Flanks In the Catena Platfersa.
New York, Aug. 11. The World
prints a 4-column "open letter" to Mr.
Bryan, asking him to define in his
speech of acceptance his position on
several planks in the Chicago platform.
It says- that upon many grounds The
World stands with Mr. Bryan, in- :
stancing the income tax, opposition to
tariff changes, hostility to trusts and
monopolies and to bond issues in time j
of peace witnout explicit authority of ;
congress. It denounces the Chicago
planks in regard to the condemnation
of President Cleveland for putting down
the riots at Chicago.
It then antagonizes sharply the de
maud for free coinage and tells Mr.
Bryan this is the main reason for the
disruption of the party. The World
says that if Mr, Bryan can convince the
undecided Democrats that it is safe for
them to vote their party's ticket, the
World will comply with Mr. Bryan's j
invitation to support him, not because
"it is blind to the grave faults of the
platform on which he stands, but in
spite of it and regarding it with undi
minished and unchangeable contempt."

WASHDfGTOX, Aug. 11. The first
round in the fight over the 22,ti0O acres
of land in O'Brien county, Iowa, title was the scene of riotous proceedings for
to which was restored to the United an hour or more this afternoon. The
States by the decision of the supreme ' Boston Bloomers, so called, were ar
court of the United States in October ! rested at the close of a ball irame bv
last, has been decided by Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior Reynolds. The
matter came before him on application
of Emory Marker and eighty-eight oth
ers to compel the commissioner of the
general laud office to allow their appli
cations to enter the land prior to Feb.27
hut, the date set for the tiling of appli
cation and proof of trlement by set
tlers already on the iund.
These "sooners" assert that title was
vested in the government on the day
of the decision by the supreme court aud
that the lauds were subject to entry ou
that date. The acting secretary holds
that a decision of the court does not
necessarily restore lands to settlement
on the same day that it is rendered and
that the secretary had ample authority
for setting a date for receiving the ap
plications and proof mentioned. He
therefore denies the application filed by
the applicants for certiorari on the
ground that they assigned no good rea
son for overturning the decisions of the
commissioner and local officers.

Kxtresno Bast at Wichita.
Wichita, Aug. 11. The weather has
i been uniformly hot here for 10 days
with little relief. Yesterday the ther
mometer ranged higher than ever, but
at night a refreshing breeze came up.
Today the heat has returned in all its
force. Sunstrokes are almost uuknown
in this climate, but there is much ill
ness as n result of the extreme heat.

I A Stady For Farmers.
! In September, 1804. our exports of
agricultural products constituted 05.64
per cent of all exports. This year in
September they formed but 00.81 per
cent, a loss of 4.83 percent. In Septem
ber, 189a, they were 72.53 per cent,'
showing a loss this year of 11.73 per
cent. In September, 1891, they were
77.88 per cent of all exports, showing a
loss of 17.07 for last September as com
pared with 1891. This gives farmers an
idea of the manner in which the free
traders help them to capture the markets
of the world. In actual value this 5 ear's'
September loss was nearly 50 per cent,
the shipments of agricultural products
in September, 1891, being worth $63,
739,633 and this year in September only
$34,099,953, a decrease of $39,039,581
in a month.
Where Protection Prosners.
Wherever the Gorman tariff is pinch
ing hardest and there are few spots in
our broad land where it is not pinching
' the cause of Republican protection is
prospering gloriously.
Want Kevcnae First.
Better coast defenses and a larger
navy are among the needs of the coun
try. But we cannot have them without
a tariff for protection aad revenue, j
Some congressmen seem to rorgei this.
Cant Afford Shoes.
Shipments of shoes from six New
England manufacturing centers last
week amounted to only 80,000 cases
against 96.000 cases iu the like week
last year. Bradstieet's, Jan. 18.
And the good old Democratic times
