Fifteen hundred people were punched to-
gether around a speakers platform at
McLeansboro, H. when Candidate Bry-
ans train reached that place al 1920
O'Clock. Nearly everybody had an UNI
brela to keep off the rays of the sun,
but the heat did not hamper the crowd
in its enthusiasm. A gang plank, with
one end resting on the train platform en-
abled Mr.. Bryan to reach the stand with
out being obliged to fight his way through
the throng, as he had frequently been
obliged to do, and as he jumped nimbly
across the narrow bridge, resounding
cheer went up and brass band, its
members attired in sailor costume, played
vigorously. Mr.. Bryan delivered an earn
est address, and at the conclusion of his
remarks was enthusiastically cheered.
There was a fair-sized crowd at Enfield
ILL.,, and a large crowd at Carmi, Ill. and
Mr.. Bryan spoke briefly at each place.
Soon after leaving Carmi the Bryan spe-
cial crossed the Wabash into Indiana and
Mr.. Bryan received his welcome to that
state from committees from Mount YER
non, Ind, and Evansville, Ind, headed re-
spectively by Col. L. A. owen and John
w. Pencer, who had joined the candidates
party at Carmi
Evansville, Ind, Sept 1.-THE first place
where a stop was made in Indiana by
the Bryan train was Mount Vernon, at
noon. Five thousand people greeted Mr..
Bryan there. In his speech Mr.. Bryan
said: ''They talk of a flood of silver.
Nothing excites my compassion more than
to find the man who has not enough
money to pay his debts and does not
know where next winters provisions will
come from, trembling in his boots, for
fear of food of money, and that 1t will
overwhelm him. (Laughter) Where is
the flood coming from, they say European
nations will send their silver here. 1t
will not come unless somebody here will
give what those people demand in return.
That silver is now circulating in Europe,
almost all of It, at ratio more favorable
to silver than here. You do not melt
spoons worth a dollar and a half into
money worth dollar and twenty-nine
apply labor to silver you make it worth
more than it is at the mint, but some are
afraid of a great increase in the produc-
tion of silver and an increase in money"
Mr. Bryan reached Evansville shortly
before l o'clock. He was placed in car
riage and taken to an open lot, 100 yards
from where the train stopped, at the cor
ner of Ohio street and First avenue. The
lot was crowded to its outskirts with peo-
pie. Two Bryan and Sewall clubs arriv-
ed after Mr.. Bryan reached the covered
stand from which he made his speech, and
increased the gathering. The candidate
was very heartily cheered.
Louisville, KY, Sept. 14.-Tired almost
to the point of prostration after a IA
tiguing journey of fourteen hours from
St. Louis; his voice nearly gone from the
effort expended in a score of speeches.
Hon. William j. Bryan reached Louisville
at 1850 o oclock tonight in a special train
over the Louisville. Henderson and ST.
Louis railroad. The day had been ex-
tremely hot, and the wear and tear on the
democratic candidates system began to
show shortly after he crossed the line
into Kentucky. He had not intended to
make many speeches, but the enthusiasm
of the crowds at every station where
stop was made, carried him away and
his resolution went for naught As
consequence he had hardly voice and
strength enough left on reaching Louis
Vile to comply with the requirements of
his programme for the evening.
An enormous crowd cheered him on his
arrival at the Union depot, in company
with Henry Woodson, democratic national
committeeman from this state; Senator
j. C. S. Blackburn, Representative John
II. Allen, the Mississippi humorist and
others of prominence. A salute of forty
guns, fired by Battery of the Louis
Vile Legion, told the people of Louisville
that the young Nebraskan had reached
their city. 1t was with difficulty that
the candidate and the members OF his
party we're pushed through the bowling
enthusiasts at the depot and enabled him
to enter the carriages III WdlllHE
Chairman John II. Headley and the To-
cal reception committee met Mr.. Bryan
there, and under their escort he was
taken through streets crowded with cheer
ing people to the Willard hotel Here
there was a momentary wait and then
the line of procession, consisting of
score Of carriages, was taken to Phoenix
Hill park, where the first speech was
made
Phoenix Hill park is big summer gar
den. and tonight It was jammed and
packed with many thousand people, how
many cannot be reasonably estimated
Every seat in the inclosure had been taken
out to provide FOR the crowd. The demo-
cratic candidate began TO speak at
o'clock.
Mr.. Bryans voice was 80 hoarse that
not a tenth OF those present heard his
words. He paid his compliments to The
third ticket and maintained that the is-
sue was drawn between the republican
and the democratic platforms, and that
the national democratic party's express
sion of principles did not figure in the
campaign.
Another great demonstration took place
at the hay market, spacious, open
