ARrtculture-The First Part OF His
Journey In Delaware Rather I'm
eventfuI.
Newark. Del. Sept. 2.-with his plans
for O good rest in Washington disarrang-
ed by the action of the Delaware escort
committee, William ]. Bryan started out
from Baltimore this morning at 6:25
o'clock for Dover, Del, to fiji an engage
ment to speak This afternoon. 1t was a
bad beginning Of the weeks campaign
from a physical standpoint. Mr.. Bryan
could have remained overnight in Wash
ington and have taken train from there
at 76O a. m. that would have brought him
to Dover In plenty time. But the Della
ware committee told him he would be
obliged to go to Baltimore last night and
take the 6:25 Pennsylvania railroad train
to oblige people at Porter's station, Del,
a place that would have been omitted
from the itinerary If he had gone on the
later train. Mr.. Bryan was up at o clock
after few hours of sleep. He left the
Carrollton hotel In Baltimore in company
with Josephus Daniels national commit
teeman from North Carolina, who will ac-
company him to New England, and John
F. Salisbury and Richard r. Kenney, the
Delaware escort committee, proceeded In
a carriage to the union station and board
ed the Pennsylvania train leaving at 6:26.
The first incident Of the day was at
Havre de Grace, where score OF people
boarded the day coach in which Mr.. Bry-
an was sitting and shook the candidates
sore and inflamed hands
At Perryville. just across the Susque-
hanna river, and at Northeast, more peo-
irple greeted him In the car.
The first cheer of the day was given at
Elkton, reached at Sill About fifty men
were In the crowd. At nearly every sta
tion somebody explained to Mr. Bryan
that his early coming would disappoint
many people, who were relying on ad-
herence to his schedule, which Delaware
had caused to be changed.
Dover, Del, Sept. A.-At Newark, Del,
Candidate Bryan changed to a little
branch line that carried him to Porter's
Station, six miles away Some Delaware
college boys at Newark gave him an or
iginal Bryan yell. and Mr. Bryan went
out on the platform and shook hands with
them. When Mr.. Bryan reached Porter's.
he found not the hundreds of excursions
on whose account he was persuaded to
| lose his nights rest, but the members of
| the Dover reception committee. 1t was
| for their sake that Mr.. Bryan had been
| routed out Of bed and rushed to an early
| train before his eyes were fairly open, IN
| the belief that he would disappoint a
| great crowd II he did not make the con-
| nection for Porters. The journey from
| Porter's to Dover was made over the Del
aware division of the Pennsylvania road.
| He was accompanied by the Dover re-
| ception committee and delegation from
| the Young Mems Democratic Club of VIII
] nil those In the Dover n
mlttee were l.. Irving Handy, democratic
I candidate for congress; ex-Gov. Robert
| ]. Reynolds and ex-Secretary Of State
| John d. Hawkins.
M,ddletown had out brass band and
about three hundred people. Mr.. Bryan
| made his first little speech of the day
there It had just bit of irony In II.
| He said that every community entered
| was very solicitous about his voice and
| anxious to have him to speak there and
| not to speak anywhere else. He intended,
! he said, to save his voice as much aa
possible, and keep II all through the cam
| paign and he wanted each of his hearers
| to make a silver speech at the polls on
| election day. The crowd cheered as the
| train drew out. Ex-Gov J. +. Cochran
| Joined Mr. Bryan at Mlddletown.
There we're more cheers at Clayton, but
| Mr.. Bryan did not make a speech. Mr.,
| Bryan ascertained definitely to-day that
/ ne WOulQ Iildht lhO uuultpocH III A9iOOhly II
| instead of one, and that the speech sched-
uled for Wednesday next had not been
! postponed until Sept. %. The confusion
| about the matter was caused by the ar
rangement for the second speech on the
latter date after Mr.. Bryans return from
Maine.
| Mr.. Bryan reached Dover at 1912 O'Clock
| A big crowd at the railway station gave
| him a cheer and then followed his carriage
| through the streets to the Capital hotel
| where a short informal reception was
| held When Il was over, Mr.. Bryan was
| spirited out side door down TO the resi-
dence Of Gen. r. r. Kenney, where he i'm
mediately went to bed to make up some OF
| the sleep he had lost.
| Much refreshed by his nap, Mr.. Bryan
went from Gen. Kenney's to the Capital
| hotel. where he had dinner, and ther
| proceeded to the state fair grounds, where
| 5000 people seated on the grand stand
and gathered on the track and enclosure
| received him with cheers. Among those
who crowded the speakers stand, a tenn
| porary structure. were Gov. Watson, ex-
| Gov Reynolds. Ebe W. Tunnel Of Lewes
| democratic candidates for governor; Johr

| up their tents and were giving perform
ances. Pickpockets were also on hand
| and one OF them was captured.
Mr. Bryan was introduced by ex-Con-
gresham John A. Nicholson at o'clock
| Just as he began to speak many of those
| in the rear Of the platform began shout
| ing for the candidate TO turn IN their d.
| reotion. Tho noise became 80 annoying
! that Mr.. Bryan was obliged TO stop and
| appeal for quiet. This did not have the
| desired effect, and others OF prominence
| added their appeals to his Some sem

| Mr. Bryan proceeded without further an
noyance.
Mr.. Bryan said; Ladies' and Gentle
men: Talking outdoors Is so difficult that
/ must beg you to help me just as much as
| you can by keeping as quiet as possible.
and let me say that II these people who
believe In free silver were as easily seen

their standing up. Great laughter and
continued applause) The chairman said
that no Presidential candidate had ever
