While travelling on train between St. Louis and Chicago, recently, Mir. William Shilliam of Benson, who was an alternate from Arizona to the St. Louis convention, engaged in conyer- sation with a gentleman who, on learning his residence, produced a newspaper clipping which was an ad- yertisement of group of mining claims for sale in Sonora, and inquired about it.

BRYAN SAW NO WELCOMING THRoNG
No One ut the Depot to Greet Him
Yesterday Morning.


William Jennings Bryan, the popocratic
candidate for the presidency, hunted long
and in vain for the glad hand to be eX-
tended to him yesterday morning when ne
entered the gates of his own state after his
long wandering and great talking All that
Nebraska's noble son could find however,
was the usual crowd which fills the plat
form and no particular attention was paid
to him 1t was cruel welcome for the
talking hero since Omaha has been an in
terested spectator of his laborious fight for
$4,000 a year job. There were no brass
bands, no flags. no tumultuuus populace,
no anything to greet the noble son as he
once more set his foot upon the heath of his
state, never again to be allowed to leave,
| because Nebraska wants her son and boy
orator all to herself.
Bryan remained in Council Bluffs all OF
Saturday night and yesterday morning was
pulled across the river on his way to Lin
coin. He arrived at the union depot at s
O'Clock. 1t was an early hour for the can
didate to be up, as he has lost much sleep
during his tour of the country, but he wes
all ready for the reception which lie no
doubt believed would be extended to him
in this city.
When the train stopped Mr.. Bryan stepped
out on the rear platform of his private car,
THE ldler." with that smile which. to-
gether with the cross of gold and the crown
Of thorns, has taptivated several millions
of voters according to the free silver press.
But there vas no multitude there and the
smile vanished in a deep gloom that over
spread the features of the homecomer as
he ga2ed into the morning and the future,
trying to read hope when there was no hope
there.
Mr.. Bryan, however. did not long remain
depressed aud soon regained the cheerful
ness which has marked him in the face Of
the signs of the times With his usual
modesUy, he determined to get up 4 recep-
ton, IL none. was provided for him He.
therefore climbed down from his car and
stepped upon the platform.
The only ones about were the depot en-
ployes and the usual crowd. OF loiterers
which hargs about the depot for the ar
rival and departure of trains. The big ma
joI'ity OF these We're wearing the discOura-
cling yellow, sound money ribbons, hut the
boy orator brought back once more his
smile and beamed upon them. The few
handshakcs that he distributed then con-
stltuted the entirety of his greeting to the
state.
Mr.. Bryan remained only a short time,
until his car was htched on a Lincoln
train. 1t left shortly after S o'clock with
as little demonstration as had greeted the
boy ora tors arrival.

meetings ttat were held all over the state.
Although the electoral vote has been con
ceded to Mckinley from the start, repub-
Ican orators have Travelled up and down the
state making speeches in behalf OF their

largely To two causes. First, the fact that

of the congressional districts is the cause
OF much anxiety to the republican leaders.
In the landslide of two years ago, the re-
publicans elected twenty-eght out Of thirty
year the democrats will elect four or pos
sibly six congressman. At the headquarters
of the republican state committee it is
claimed that Pennsylvania will give Nc
Kinley and Hobart anywhere from 100000
to 300 900 plurality. The democratic chair

licves that the state is safe for Mckinley by

ENCIrING CAMPAIGN IN OREGON
Latest Estimates Give Mckinley IL
Coed Lead.

PORTLAND. ore, Nov. 1.-The campaign
in Oregon has been the most exciting in
the history of the state. The republican
state committee, after a careful canvass
in every county of the state, places the
minimum majority for Mckinley at 1890.
The latest estimates given out by the popu-
list central committee put the majority
for the Bryan electors at 2200. At the
state election held last June the democrats
and pOpulisls both had tickets in the field,
and their combined vote on supreme judge
exceeded the republican by 4,300. The ma
tional democrats claim they will cast at
least 1000 votes In the state. At the presi-
Dental election four years ago the demo-
Gratis and populists fused on one elec,or,
but his total vote was 400 short of the
combined vote of the democrats and popu-
lists on the other three electors, who were
voted for separately.
