MRS BRYAN's COURTEOUS ACT.
The members of the party unite in
saying that the most pleasing incident
SO far of their journey was q delicate
bit OF courtesy shown by Mrs. Bryan,
wife of the Democratic candidate for
president, who, while the procession
in honor of tho visiting generals was
moving past her house in Lincoln,
displayed over her door a large por.
trait OF William Mckinley, tastefully
draped In the national colors. 1t was
a touch of womanly grace, beautiful
as 1t was unexpected, and General
Alger says that he will cherish it as q
sweet recollection plucked from an
acrimonious campaign until the end
of his days.
