kenda, and at Dewitt, where the members
of a club led the cheering.
A thousand people at Brunswick swarm
ed around Mr. Bryan when his train stop-
ped at that place and shouted wildly nm
til he began to talk. His speech was very
brief.
Salisbury, Mo-, Sept PA brass band
augmented the shouts of the crowd at Dali
ton. Keylesville turned out large num-
Der of people. To reach the rear plat
form of the train where Mr.. Bryan stood,
most of the crowd were obliged to go
through a wide puddle of mud, and the
helter-skelter race of men, women, boys
and girls, into its sogginess was intense
ly ludlcrous. The crowd was of good size
but the train drew quickly away and MIR.
Bryan did not make a speech.
Norbonne Mo, Sept. 12-The special car
engaged by the St. Louis contingent for
Mr.. Bryan and themselves, was crowded
all along the route. Gov. Stone of Mis-

rick, Lexington Junction and Hardin.
Huntsville, Mo-, Sept. 12.-An exciting
incident occurred while the Bryan train
was in Salisbury, where it stopped min
ute. With the experience of his party
with pickpockets during his recent trip
through New York and Ohio fresh in his
mind, Mr. Bryan had been watching with
suspicion all the morning the actions of
some men on the train, who would get off
at every station and circulate among the
crowds. At Salisbury the throng about
the train was large. Mr.. Bryan had just
begun a speech, but stopped suddenly and
with pointed finger, indicating a particu-
lar place in the gathering, cried out:
Hold on, there are two pickpockets oper-
ating down there" The crowd parted in
an instant, but before those on the train
could see the result of Mr. Bryan's detec-
tive work, the signal to start was given
Mr.. Bryan has decided not to go to
Salem, H., his old home, to spend Sun
day. He thinks he will be too much ia
tigued after to-night's speech making to
take seventy miles railroad journey be-
fore getting to bed.
Tomorrow he will attend service in st.
Louis at IL o'clock at the Grand Avenue
Presbyterian church and in the afternoon
will dine with a relative.
Moberly Mo, Sept. 12-Seated in a car
riage covered with bunting and drawn by
four horses, Mr.. Bryan was conveyed from
the station here to the public park. A
mounted escort went along. More than 5000
people were gathered in the square, and
they cheered the candidate with a vim as
he came on the speakers platform with
Mr.. Stephens, the democratic candidate
for governor. To his audience Mr.. Bryan
said he did not come to Missouri because
it was necessary, but simply to see the
people who were so enthusiastically sup
| porting the democratic ticket The So
called silver craze, which the opposition
were calling a lunacy, was spreading so
rapidly that by election time there would
not be gold bugs enough left to furnish
guards in the insane asylums for the ''sil-
yer lunatics."
Mr. Bryan was driven back to his train
followed by a crowd of cheering people,
and resumed his journey to st. Louis at
