LINCOLN, Nob., Sept. 21.--when William
jennings Bryan ca re home from his spectacular
tour from Lincoln TO Madison Square Garden,
New York, to receive the notification Of the ma
tional silver PARTY, there was a big demonstra-
ton. In the evening there was torchlight
procession. People wondered at tho number
of horsemen in line. II was said at the time
that the employees OF the pcnitentiary and
State Hospital for the incurable insane, both
of which institutions arc under the control of
the Populist Gov. Holcomb, made up o
part of the parade. but 1t WAS not known until
to-day that six OF the mounted torch bearers
were patients from the insane asylum. all OF
them incurable.
Employees OF tho asylum here informed THE
Sun reporter that they identined six OF tho in

the cavRlcade passed through the streets these
men OF clouded intellect Knocked at tho spec
tators who stood along tho line OF march.
Most people who witnessed their antics thought
the men had been fraternizng with John Bar
leycorn.
To-day for the first time II is explained that
these noisy Bryan shouters and torch bearers
were insane instead OF drunken men. One OF
the patients who took part In the parade and
whooped II up for Bryan was James Sturte-
want, who Is an old-ttme inmate. He Is sub
