ones found that their efforts were futile.
for Mr.. Bryan had been conducted to dag
coach In front to enable his car to be
shifted. When It became known that he
was forward. back went the people, rush.
ing over each other.
Chairman Hubbeu Of the Harrisburg H-
metallic League presented Mr.. Bryan.
Cheers followed the announcement and a
great cry OF speech went ny. But Mr..
Bryan pointed to his threat and shook his
head. just in the midst OF the fast nd
furious handshaking in progress. and Just
as Mr.. Bland had started a speech. the car
was shifted again.
Fighting. shouting, pushing with might
and main. the people in-the throng around
the day car sought TO regain their adyan-
tngeous positions. Hundreds OF them were
struggling ON the track Between the car
in which Mr.. Br gan was and the rest OF the
train. AS they saw the coach tearing
down upon them almost panic ensued in
the endcavor 10 get out OF harn's way.
Men seemed to leap over the heads Of
others and some went down. But nobody
was injured, and the big assemblage, or
rather the male part of it, made another
dash toward the tall, smooth faced man,
who looked ten years older than he did
when ne left Chicago Sunday night.
Mr. Bryan stood on the steps OF car
and reached out both hands to be grasped
by hundreds of extended fists. His white
hat had been displaced by 3 black skull
cap that gave him a priestiy appearance.
While he shook hands at the rate Of sixty
a minute for each hand, Mr.. Bland tried to
talk about the great issue OF the cam
paigB, but his voice was lOst in the shouts
of those around the car. At last the
train moved away and Mr.. Bryan, with q
relieved look, went back to his drawing
room.
CROWD AT PHILADELPHIA.
Barring the shifting process the Bryan
reception at Lancaster was quite as wildly
iDterestin The station was crowde u
with people to the Dumber OF 200. Mr..
Bryan stood on the rear platform Of his
car, which had been returne d TO its
original position at the end Of the train.
The crowd shouted all the time and there
was a constant struggle TO get near the
Sbminee.
Mr.. BANDS speech was again lost. The
only people who did not appear anxious to
join in the grand rush for the Nebraska
mans swollen hands were the women
standing at the other end OF the plat
form and the members OF the brass band,
who had been engaged to play patriotic
airs, aud were fulfilling their contract
without intermission.
The yelling OF the audience. which, while
constant, had not been united, concen-

made until Philadelphia was reached
At Philadelphia there was crowd OF
5000 pushing, surging, perspirins people
gathered behind the iron gates tarring
the entrance to the trains in the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station. A noticeable feat
ure of the crowd was It's makeup. 1t
was essentially q crowd of the plain peo-
ple-the workingman, the mechanic, and
