To THE MORNING AppEAL:-I
had intented dropping your yalu-
able paper few lines from San
Francisco, but as | am not liable to
reach there this week | may as well
say a word or two right here in
Reno. 1t is now $50 in the morn
ing and | am still in town.
| / reached here by the regular
train last night and rushed across
the platform in a great hurry so as
not to miss the Western bound
overland. The entire population
OF Reno was at the depot waiting
patiently for Jack Logan to come
along and make a speech Logan
was varIousIy estimated as being
somewhere on the road between
Omaha and Reno but no one seem
ed to know just where. The fam
Gus Reno brass band which en-
braces the wind. chivalry and might
OF the progressive riverside town,
was on the hotel balcony and when
it was announced tina. Logan's train
was in sight it played Hail to the
Chief.
LOGAN GETS THERE,
Although Logan was due at
$3.50, he did not arrive until
midnight. Tnen the tram drew
up at the depot it seemed a mile
long. Each sleeper had some
sort of Il long sign on the side.
Among others | noticed "iOwa |
Volunteers for the Golden Gate"
This was most elaborate inScrip-
ton, and the next Car had scraIn-
bled in wide letters '.Sheridan's
Bummers." Then came "Head-
quarters Illinois brigade" and
the crowd set upa cheer. When
The train stopped District Attor-
ney Alexander boarded it with
DIR. Bishop and dragged Logan
off In a few minutes they had
him up in the balcony, and when
IL man with straight cOinhed
hair and an imRen>e military
uiou>tiche took off his black
beaver hat, the crowd raised a
cheer
j will not report the speech.
Ii WAS not intended as an ora
torical effort and was not as We'll
wurded as AleXander'S who in
tr ,duced him. Logan tranked
the people for their reception
and described the qualification :
he fell at contempt iiing the
glorious STATE. In closing, he
said that God would speed the
time when the rights If the
people of the Stale would be
in Congress" This
hit the crowd hard for we all !
knew il uIrant the silver claims
vet gorded in such "a way that
no Wall street gold bug could
put the speaker on record.
The crowd felt sort of thanks

yelled uproariou,ly. l
When / heard the enthusiast i

adopted son of N-vada or some
hing of that sort and asking .
