rain set in shortly after the candidate
left Louisville, and the damp atmosphere
had it's effect on his already enfeebled
voice when he made his first speech OF the
day As thoroughly tired out as Bryan
was last night after one of the hardest
days in his campaign, he looked re-
iuvenated this morning and ready for
another ordeal and even his voice gained
strength after he had spoken a while, and
came out strong, although very husky.
Knots of people were gathered to see the
candidate at several small stations, where
stops were made. The first speech was
at LAGRANGE. Several hundred people,
with a heavy percentage of pretty girls,
cheered Mr. Bryan when he came out on
the back platform Of his special car. A
sudden downpour of rain did not dis
perse the enthusiastic crowd that heard
the candidate.
At Eminence, where the train arrived at
912 o'clock, banners were waved in
the streets and a brass band was
on hand Mr.. Bryan was In the
!. midst of his remarks when the
4 clouds broke. A yell went up from the
crowd numbering at least $500, and some
ran for shelter, but the majority held
their places, huddled closely together un-

would stop talking until the rain ceased
but the crowd would not let him, and he

"If any man in this community would

q cents dozen and was able to make good
4 the offer, nobody would sell eggs for less,

& whether l cent or cents dozen. So with
silver Free coinage would establish the
market price of silver al $1.29 and nobody
would sell it for a cent less. During the

increased more rapidly, proportionately,
q than the production of silver. and yet
q gold has advanced, owing to our present
& financial system"
A few people only braved the rain to get
a peep at the candidate at Christiansburg.
At several small stations crowds cheer

Rain did not suppress the enthusiasm

run directly in front of the state capitol,
ana the open space in front of the quaint
OLD buildings was packed with solid
mass of umbrella bearers when Mr. Bry-
