to-day he was remarkably refreshed,
taking into consideration the disadvan-
tages under which he is travelling. There
were no large crowds about the depots
E'len the train passed through the vari-
GUS stations, after leaving Baltimore,
and the few people who generally as
semble 10 see the trains pass through
did not know that the candidate was
aboard the ordinary coach attached to
the rear end of the train. All the res
'idents of the towns through which he
passed supposed that he would take the
Drain leaving Washington this morning
and these people were disappointed in
not seeing the nominee.
Mr.. Bryan left the Carrolton hotel in
Baltimore shortly before O'Clock. He
was accompanied by the Delaware es-
rort committee and Josephus Uanie.s, of
Raleigh, n. c., who will make the tip
with Mr.. Bryan, through New England.
There were stops made at Baneyyiew,
where few railroad men cane into the
car and shook hands with Mr.. Bryan.
There were stops at Havre de Grace.

were there TO greet him. Al Erkt0n he
citizens had been appr.sed of h.s com

inee's coming.
Dover, Del, September 21.-At Por-

down to act as escort for Mr.. Bryan TO
that city.
a few hundred people at Midd,etown
were appr.sd Of the coming OF the
nominee, and they turned cut at the
depot, having with them a brass band
and good deal Of enthusiasm. They
cheered Mr.. Bryan when he appeared
on the platform and c.amored for a
speech. Mr.. Bryan jo'd them that every
community which he entered was solci-
tious about his voice and very anX GUS
for nm to speak in that town, but not
to speak any where else. He said he
was going 10 save his voice as much as
possible and keep IL all through tie

He deleg? ted each Of his hearers to make

day and apparently the crowd accepted
the commission. There was a short stop
at Clayton, just long enough for the peo-
pie to shake hands with and cheer Mr.
Bryan.
There was n large crowd to welcome Mr..
Bryan at Dover al l0:32. The nominee was
taken to the Capitol Hotel and from there

We suppose a man with a shabby coat

But what ridiculous things some of the

Some appear to have their origin in q

them are intelligently drawn. There are
natural and reasonable social distinctions
But Of this kind that of color assuredly is

Grover Cleveland must be man OF

Here are some Of the choice epithets
applied to the President by Tillman in
his speech Wednesday, THAT besotted
tsrant, " "the bull -nccked and idoiatious
occupant of the White House. "He also
referred to Secretary Carlisle as the Judas
from Kentucky" If there were n few
more Tillmans Grover Cleveland would
NE in fair way to recover some of his
lost popularity. The well meaning
individual who relies upon general i'm
prcssions for his estimates Of public men
would naturally think man statesman
who came in for such brutal abuse from
cheap, ranting demagGgue. Setting
Mr.. Cleveland upon any pedestal is II per
formance deserving criticism but there is
such ample opportunity for criticism OF
the right sort that one has no patience
with billipgsgate in the halls of Con
