BRYAN'S REST DISTURBED.
The Weary Candidate Again out
Upon His Losing Race.

NEW ARK, Del, Sept 81 1S96.-With
his plans for a good rest in Washington
disarranged by the action of the Balti-
more Escort Committee, William j. Bryan
started out from Baltimore this morning
at 6:25 o'clock for Dover, Della, to fill an
engagement to speak tbs afternoon 1t
was a bad beginning of the weeks cam
paigning from physical standpoint. Mr..
Bryan could have remained over night in
Washington and have taken train from
there at 7:5o A. M. that would have
brought him to Dover in plenty of time
But the Delaware Committee told him he
would be obliged to go to Baltimore last
night and take the 6:25 Pennsylvania Rail
road train tot,oblige people at Porters
station, Del. a place that would have
been omitted from the itinerary if he had
gone on the later train. Mr.. Bryan was up
at five o'clock after few hours of sleep
He left the Carrolton Hotel in Baltimore
in company with Josephus Daniels, Ma
tional Commute from North Caro-
lima, who will accompany him to New
England, and John F. Salisbury and
Richard r. Kenney, the Delaware escort
committee, proceeded in a carriage to the
Union Station and boarded the Pennsyl-
vsnia train leaving at CPS The first in
cident of the day was at Havre de Grace,
where score of people boarded the day
coach in which Mr.. Bryan was sitting
and shook the candidates sore and in
famed hands. At Perryville. lust across
the SusQuehanna River and at North
East more people greeted him in the car.
The first cheer of the day was given at
Elkton reached at Bill. About fifty per-
sons were in the crowd. At nearly every
station somebody explained TO Mr.. Bryan
many people who We're relying on adher-
ence to the schedule which the Delaware
Committee had caused to oe changed.
BOYS Well for the BOY.
DOVER, Del, Sept. 81 1Ss6.-At Newark.
Del, Candidate Bryan changed to a little
branch line that carried him to Porter's
Station, six miles away. Some Delaware
college boys at Newark gave him an
original Bryan yell, and Mr.. Bryan went
out on the platform and shook hands
with them. When Mr.. Bryan reached
Porter's he found there, not the hundreds
of excursionists on whose account he had
been persuaded to lose his nights rest,
but the members of the Dover Reception
Committee. 1t was for their sake that
Mr.. Bryan had been routed out of bed and
rushed to an early train before his eyes
We're fairly open in the belief that he
would disappoint a great crowd if he
did not make the connection for Porter's.
The journey from Porters to Dover was
made over the Delaware division of the
panied by the Dover Reception Commit
tee and delegation from the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Wilmington
Among those in the Dover Committee
were L. Irving Handy, Democratic candi-
date for Congress; ex-Gov. Ropert J.
Reynolds had out brass band and about
three hundred people Mr.; Bryan made
It had just a bit of irony in it, He said
that every community he entered was
sohcitous about his voice and anxious for
him to speak there, and not to speak
anywhere else. He intended. he said
10 save his voice as much as possible and
keep 1t all through the campaign. and he
wanted each of his hearers to make a siI-
yer speech at the polls on election day
The crowd cheered Is the train drew out
Ex-Governor J. T. Cochran joined Mr.
Bryan at Middletown. There was more
make a speech. Mr.. Bryan ascertained
definitely today that he would make two
addresses in Brooklyn instead of one. and
that the speech scheduled for Wednesday
next had not been postponed until Septem-
Der 20. The confusion about the ma fiter
was caused by the arrangement for fha
second speech on the latter date. after
Mr. Bryan's return from Maine.
Mr. Bryan reached Dover at logo
M. big crowd at the railway station
gave him cheer and then followed Ills
carriage through the streets TO the Canis nj
tol Hotel, where a short informal recen-
tfon was held. When II was over Mr..
Bryan was spirited out of a side dnor
down to the residence of General r r
Kenney, where he immediately went to
bed to make up some of the sleep he
had lost. He will speak at the Fair
Grounds here at ! 30 p. M. Governor Wat
son and reception committee met Mr..
Bryan ut Doyer7 and accompanied him
