corted up Farnum street to the first gath.
ering, which he will address. There have
been some expressions indicative OF
trouble q nd the police are preparing to
preserve order.
BRYAN sHoUTERs WORE YELLOW BADGES.
York, Neb.-At7 Z O'Clock this morning
Mr.. Bryan was proceeding westward from
Lincoln on the last days work of the
campaign. The sun had not risen when
he reached the depot and there were COM
paratively few people gathered to see
him off. These few, however, gave him
an enthusiastic shout.
The first stop was at Seward, Repub-
lican town, and fully half the crowd wore
yellow badges. Mr.. Bryan WAS, however,
respectfully received.
The appearance of the golden colors in
his own state seemed to put the candidate
on his mettle, and, while he talked only
about ten minutes, he delivered very
pointed address.
He intimated that the proper material
for the farmer to use, who would display
gold badge, was straw, for he said "un-
der existing circumstances Wall street
gets your wheat and leaves you nothing
but straw"
His brief address was devoted largely
to denunciation of the issues of bonds.
Notwithstanding the large number of
Republicans present, Mr.. Bryan was lib
orally applauded and it was noticeable
that some of the shouters wore yellow
badges.
APPEALS TO THE FARMERS.
Aurora, Neb.-Mr. Bryan had big
crowd at Aurora. He dwelt in his brief
talk at this point upon the effects of the
gold standard, especially upon the farm
ing interests. His points were liberally
applauded, Notwithstanding the presence
of many gold badge wearers.
Grand Island was the extreme western
point of the days tour and is the most
western place visited by Mr.. Bryan dur
ing the campaign. The attendance was
large and the Bryan sentiment was very
strong, judging from the vociferous ap-
plause and the absence of gold badges.
Mr.. Bryan talked thirty minutes here,
dwelling upon the Importance of indi-
vidual effort at the polls tomorrow, say
ing that the result of the election might
depend upon one vote.
He again appealed to the agricultural
element to declare itself for the double
standard as the most certain means of
securing return of prosperity, which
was impossible under existing circum-
stances.
The return trip WAS begun at 11:30.
Hastings will be the next stopping place.
NO DOUBT ABOUT NEBRASKA.
Aurora, Neb.-As the day progressed
Mr.. Bryan's audiences began to swell in
numbers and In enthusiasm.
At York, which was reached at 8 O'Clock,
thousands of farmers were waiting and
the enthusiasm was great. There we're
some yellow badges, but not nearly so
many as at Seward.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced as the next
president of the United States and re-
piled that it depended great deal on how
the people of Nebraska voted. This
brought great cheers and assurances that
the state was all right for him.
He said that this year the people had
made an experiment in choosing presi-
dental candidate from west of the Mis-.
slssippi river and some people in Ne
braska seemed very much afraid that there
would be president from the west.
His speech met ready response from
the farmers and laborers.
The train slowed up as it went through
Bradshaw and few hundred people as
sembled at the depot and cheered Mr..
Bryan loudly.
