The members Of the party unite In
saving that the most pleasing incident
so far of their journey was 4 delicate
bit OF courtesy shown 10y Mrs. Bryan,
wife of the Democratic candidate for
president, who, while the procession
IN honor of the visiting generals was
moving past her house in Lir>oln,
displayed over her door a largo por-

as IL was unexpected, and General

sweet recollection plucsed from an
acrimonious campaign antil the end
of his days.
