Stone. Mr.. Bryan spent the little time he
had between trains in walking about the
streets and was an object of interest to
every one whom he passed. Mr.. Bryan was
feeling especially well. and TO a reporter
talked interestingly of his intended cam

that the Democratic party would carry the
banner of free silver into the White House
four years hence.
Mr.. Bryan refused to discuss the possible
