lished by Our city contemporary. "The Evening
Telegram" but we suspect that west OF 'he

ton the outpOuring will he something quite ire
mendous Mr.. Bryan is expected to speak III
half dozen halls. and. II he can. remain over
two days to take part in parade. 80 that all
who cannot hear may see him" The latter part
Of the programme Is simply n continuance OF the
plan of the late campaign. which he himself laid
down and carried out with such remarkable sue

the desire of millions of his fellow-clizcns to
listen to the charms Of his Oratory and conscious
as well that he was not only delight 10 the
ear but positive fascination TO the eye, ne did
his utmost to compensate the hundreds of thou
sands who could not hear him for their dlsap-
pOintmcnt by showing himself to them nj the
tail-end Of railroad trains, at county fairs ana IN
street parades. He combines the eloquence OF
Demosthenes with the personal charms Of Ado

II may be that the echoes of II will rebound from
Pixies Peak, ripple through the Garden OF the
Gods wind up and down the canyons and
guches, circle round Cripple Creek. and still be
musical, vivifying and soul-stlrrlng when, In
