Rebel Yeiis Emitted at the Home of
Senator Faulkner.


AT Martinsburg, w. Va, the home of
Senator Faulkner. chairman of the Fopo-
cratic congressional committee there was
a unique demonstration. Several hundred
men on horseback formed part of the pro-
cession that escorted Mr.. Bryan to the
platform from which he was to speak.
These horsemen made their steeds cavort
madly through streets and gave the rebel

seemed to vie with each other in making
noise. When they We're through with their
show Mr.. Bryan began his speech. His adj
dress contained little that was new Here
are few sample sentences:

but it has gained a foothoid here and a
great national party. the Republican party

friends / care not whether you attempt
to restrain it by a high tariff or a low
tariff shall not be content until it shall he

half and declare themselves Republicans.
