 T believe the democratic party today standing for a financial policy of our own that will give hope and inspiration to the industrial masses, is nearer to the principles of Lincoln than the republican party is when it would transfer the leg islative power to England. (Applause) Our recruits believe they have not left the party as much as the party has deserted them" (Applause).
 On the trip from Omaha to Lincoln the train stopped at Gretna long enough to enable a couple of hundred people to shake hands with the nominee. They cheered him as the train moved out.

Bryan thanked the people or sanders county TOT tnelf past SuppoI l,dhu said he hoped they would do better at the coming election. "The people are all interested" said he. Everybody is either for or against us. None is neutral He asked the people to vote, and, as there were ladies present, to use their in f1uence for the success of that ticket which they believed would be for their best interests.
 A hundred men and boys were at Greenwood to see the nominee, while half that number were at Havelock, nve miles from Lincoln.
