sired, therefore, that no demonstration
should be made along the route. The

however, reached the towns along the line
of the railroads, and though bat one or two
hours notice had been given, and only
such notice as could be passed by word Of
mouth, very large crowds had assembled at
all The stations, and everything that was
possible in the way OF an arousing and en-
lhusiaslic reception was given at each stop
