The Rattiine Time the Bryan Boom Had
The Three Other Booms.
CHICAGO, J6ne 3o.-Four new booms got in
to-day from the alkali and sage brush districts.
| or course, they were all free-silver booms. II
the town had not already been filled with the
four booms already here these new four might
have created a stir. As 1t was thevgot in quiet
| ly and tho day was gone before they had got
into the swing OF things Just how hot the
swing OF things Is can be Understood when II is
known that ono Of the booms the property
of William Jennings Bryan. the boy orator Of
the Platte, and even that boom created only n
| ripple. II came In the person of the boy orator
himself.
Long before daylight to-day there was
| rumble heard away off in the Northwest. 1t
| came on and on, growing louder as 1t came; ;
nobody could guess what 1t was. 1t became n
rattle. q roar. q thunder. Under ordinary cir
| cumstances such a manifestation would have
attracted great attention and caused apprehen-
| sion in Chicago but with Altgeld In town and
the booms of the Hon. Dick Bland and the Hon.
Hod Boles, booming for all they woro worth.
| and the booms OF Claude Matthews and Senator
| Henry NJ. Teller sizzling. this rattle and thun.
| der were almost lost in the shufile. II con-
| tinued until about IL o'clock when IL stopped
short. There was no explanation of the thing
until an hour later, when the morning
express from Nebraska rolled into the Union
station. and the boy orator stepped of
| with his boom. His boom was muzzled. The
trainmen explained that the orator and his
boom had grown hot and hotter from the
moment he stepped on the train with 1t until
| the outskirts of Chicago were reached 1t had
been like little wind storm in a forest at first.
| The noise OF It was the signing of the gentle
breezes through the trees In early March. 1t
| had grown to n full fedged storm. to an eighty
mile gale to n hurricane and cyclone COM
| bined: 1t had filled the country through which
| 1t had passed; 1t had frightened women and
childred into flts. 1t had almost caused q strike
| on the railroad. the men claiming that they
would become deaf II they continued on the
| train.
| 1t was when tho outskirts Of Chicago were
reached, some sixty miles from the Union sta
| tion. when It had grown to be almost unbeara-
| BILE and when the passengers were preparing to
stop the train and throw 1t into Lake Michigan.
| that 1t suddenly ceased making a noise. The
| boy orator had put the muzzle on. 1t was this
boom that the people OF Chicago had heard. The
| trainmen couldn't explain why It had been muz-
| Zied. The boy orator wouldn't. He said:
~ am just passing through the city and will
| leave to- night. do not believe 1t would DO best
| to say anything at present. will probably be
| back before the Convention and may have
something TO say then. But will have to be
excused now"
Just after Mr.. Bryan had made this state

without any particular headquarters Little

the Hon. Joseph Sibley OF Pennsylvania: This
