The first big crowd gathered to see the
democrat candidate at Colfax, a town of
400 people, twenty-three miles from Des
Noiues. which was reached just before
O'Clock.
At Altoona, eleven miles from Des Moines
where the first stop was made, a knot Of
people shook hands with Bryan, and at
Mtchelvile fully 1900 assembled to see
and cheer him.
cen J. b. Weaver, who accompanied
AR BRYAN from Des Moines to Newton,
presented the nominee to the people OF
Tolfax. his home. The people were packed
In and about the station like saruines, ana

Unfortunately the few remarks Whlcn BIy-
an intended to deliver was cut short by
the engineer who pulled the throttle ana
started the train according to scnedule.
This is what he managed to say: La
dies and gentlemen: I am very glad to
greet the people who lives at Gen. Weay-
er's home. He was a pioneer IN TINS
work and was talking Tor Iree SILVER
long before it had come to the attention
Of a great many Of US. And l never think
of one Of those pioneers VINO Dlazes out

upon the pioneer, without remembering
what somebody said year or so ago, tnat
when one person saw a thing he was call

he became an enthusiast, when every
body saw it he became a hero" (.augh-
ter and great cheering).
Another big crowd turned out at New

ing held. The Newton people were very
full of enthusiasm and succeeded In get

Kellogg also turned out its quota OF en-
thusiasts.
At Grinnen the nominees train remain
ed at the station fifteen minutes and gave
Mr. Bryan a chance to respond to the
demand for a speech without the neces-
sity for cutting it short to fit the sched-
ule.
Crowds at Victor and Ladora cheered
Mr.. Bryan during the brief moment that
the train stopped at each, and Marengo
was reached at 1920. The GOODNESS of the
atmosphere to-day made the journey of
the nominee much pleasanter expert

a minute the presence of the democratic
nominee was incentive enough to attract
the crowds, who cheered the young can

couple Of hundred people to cheer.

see the nominee, before the train started.

the site Of the State University, and has
