MARIETTA, O., Oct. 21.—Mopstor
aruwds and lusty cheering was Ohio’s
greeting to "Willlam J. Bryan today.
Just before the democratic candidate
passed over the line Into West Vir
ginia late tonight he expressed Mmself
as exceedingly well pleased wlta the
receptions accorded him In the native
state of his republican opponent.
• Inspired by toe fact that the liter
ally was carrying his warfare into the
camp of his political enemy, he spoke
with great vigorousness. While still
In bed this morning a newspaper was
handed In to his stateroom and Mrs.
Bryan read to him a dispatch stating
that the New York Central railroad
system was threatening Its employes
with a reduction In wages If -he was
elected, but promising an Increase in
work and wages If he was defeated.
Tills was his oue for the day and he
pitilessly fired broadside after broad
side Into the republicans for their
tactics.
Mskes Sixteen Speeches.
Sixteen speeches were made by the
candidate today. While talking to a
vast throng In front of the Tod house
in Youngstown, O., a big card signed
by a number of the workers In tho
steel plants was sent up to -him bear
ing the message: “We can’t be with
you today, but we will be on Novem
ber 3.” Mr. Bryan afterwards learned
that a number of the plants, whlcft
had been working with reducod num
bers, today, for the first time in some
months started up with their full
complement! of men. A number of the,
mill workers, however, were In the
great audience, Mr. Bryan’s arrival
being at a ;tlme r*hen the regular
shifts were being made.
The route of travel today was
through many recognised republican
‘strongholds, and It, was at such
places that the candidate fired, his
heaviest batteries. Mr. Taft got his
share of criticism, particularly In the
matter of campaign contributions and
his attitude regarding the trusts and
labor questions. As on yesterday, Mrs.
Bryan, in response to the demands of
tho crowds, came out on tod rear
platform of the train and bowed. She
shook hands with many persons and
her stateroom and the parlor of tho
car were banked with flower* sent to
her by admiring friends. • The whole
of tomorrow will be spent In West
Virginia.
NEWARK. O.. Oct. 21—*1 say to you
that the little ward-heeler who goes
around and bribes a man for five dob
lars Is a moral character beside the
man who attempts to use his power
to threaten those who work for him
and to buy them by a promise of In-
cresse or threaten them by a promise
of decrease.”
Thoroughly aroused by what he
terms a ’’new menace” through the
publication today In a Columbus pa
per of a dispatch stating that the offi
cials of the "Big Four,” a part of the
New York Central lines had summon
ed BOO workmen at Bellefontaine, O.,
and informed them that If the demo

a ten per cent reduction In wages, but
that If they lost there would be an In
crease, Wm. J. iBryan, In a before

"It Is said In criticism that I have not

reasons for this, one Is that 1 am

J. Bryan again discussed what he
termed the effort at coercion by the
New York Central officials. He trid
of what he referred to as "the fear of

Tho negro and tho white man are

In his Interview* with the writer for
Collier’s, hints that the best of tho
letters are yet to be used, and hat
those which havo been held In reserve
havo to do with Senator Aldrich and
Senator Penroao.
Tho Collier’s article Is headed “Mr.
Hearst’* Thieves,” and Is written by
Arthur H. Gleason. One of the nicu
who, according to Mr. Gleason’s story,
got tho letters for Hearst In William
W. Winfield, colored fllo clerk, ftiee-
sengep. and doortender In Mr. Arch,
hold’s office, and stepson of Mr. Arcfi-
bold’a negro butler, James N. Wil

brought to Stump tho first hatch of
tho Archbold correspondence, an ! noon
nfter Stump began making visits to
the offices of the Hearst newspapers. ,
Mr. Gleason quntf-s Charles Stump
ns saying: “Sir. Hcarnt hns not b*--

Stump also Is quoted os saying thnt
since Mr. Hearst has begun reading
the letters ho had written to Mr.
Hearst auggoatlng that Mr. Hearst
might send him n llttlo more money;'
but adds that nothing came of tli-it
letter.
Mr. Arehbold discovered tho theft
early In 1906. and discharged Winfield
nnd Stump. They already bad cleaned
up some 212,000. A small part of thla
they Invested In a llarbm saloon.
The rest toey blew In on the race#
nnd other ways. Tho two mm, on**
white, one colored, are represented as
closo friends.
In the Collier’s artlcl\ Mr. Gleason
quoten Winfield &s saying to -him In
Tnrrytown that ho was mighty anx
ious to find Stump. "There’ll be a big
thing for him nnd for me, too. If t
land him Inside the month. After the

Rtump. who, Gleason says, wbrk* **

lives at 1086 De Kalk avenue, Brook

tober 12: "What lx there In it for
me? This gome of Arch.bold getting

faked by Hearst so ns to make It look
as If the whole correspondence was
a yellow Journal fake—I wont to know
toe price for that. I want guarantees
before I loso a Job for that scheme.
Anyway, I want to see 225 before t
