Along the Line.


BURLINGTON, Iowa. Sent. Mr.
Bryan, who drove quickly to the Bur
lington station from Sharpshooters'
park, by way of the Auditorium annex,
/ left Chicago by the $50 local train 1t
was his intention to leave by the $50
night express, but he learned at the
station that arrangements had been
made to give him a big reception at Au-
rora, and for that reason decided to
go by the earlier train and remain there
until the $50 train came in. There
were no demonstrations along the line
OF Nh Bryan'S drive from Sharpsinnot-
eTs' park TO the Auditorium annex, al
though he was escorted the entire dis
lance by corps OF bicyclists. The
drive from the annex to the Burlington
station was equally without incident.
AT the station Mr.. Bryan became the
center of large crowd, which escorted
him to the train. Mr.. Bryan was &C
companied from Chicago to Aurora by
delegations Of the Hickory club and
the Aurora Republican free silver club.
5. N. Hoover, candidate for Congress
on the Democratic and Free Silver Re-
publican ticket, was with the Aurora
contingent.
Aurora was reached at $50 and Mr..
Bryan, under escort of the Hickory and
Republican clubs delegations walked to
a stand erected near the station where
large crowd was gathered. Mr.. Bry-
an was cheered as he assembled the
stand and made 6. short speech
Although the crowd that greeted Mr.
Bryan at Earlville during the brief
stop of his train there numbered 500
only, 1T was very enthusiastic. Mr.
Bryan spent the time shaking hands
With those who succeeded in reaching
the rear platform. A brass band was
playing when the train reached Men
dota and the throng that crowded the
station platform, more than a thousand
in all,
CHEERED WITH VIGOR.
In response to demands for speech
Mr.. Bryan said there were two cues,
tons sometimes asked by his oppo-
nents: First. if we had more money
how could we get it unless we had
something to sell? The answer is. he
said, that no matter how much money
there is, you cannot get any of it I'M
less you have something to sell. But
every person has something to sell and
the price will depend on the amount
of money you have to buy the goods
The only way to restore prosperity is
to restore the power of the people to
buy and consume what people have to
sell. Another question is, how are you
going to get this money into circula-
ton? When gold is taken to the mint
it becomes the property of the man
who brought it there and he uses it.
and it becomes a part of the money
of the country. So it is with silver.
When converted into money it will be
used in buying the things which are to
SELL and if the sum of money is re-
plenished so the supply is sufficient to
keep pace with the demand, then the
level of prices is maintained. CAP
plause)
The crowd at Princeton was abso-
luteIy fierce in its endeavors to shake
hands with the Democratic candidate
Men fought wildly to reach him, shout
ing all the time. Another short speech
was made by Mr.. Bryan there.
Through the fact that Mr.. Bryan's
car stopped at a point several hundred
feet distant from where the crowd had
gathered at Kewanee station, the two
thousand people there
BECAME A ROWLING MOB
as they rushed down the tracks to
reach the vicinity of the Democratic
candidate. Men, women and boys en-
gagged in disorderly race to be first
on the spot. Greek fire was burned, and
as it lighted up the darkness of the
night and brought into relief the mass
Of humanity sprinting from front to
rear OF the train, the scene presented
was wildly picturesque. Another ad-
dress was made by the nominee which
he concluded as the train drew out.
Galesburgs reception to Mr.. Bryan
was exceedingly enthusiastic. The
crowd was large and had some good !
shouters. Mr.. Bryan was conveyed to
fiat car beside the train, and after be-
ing introduced by L. NJ. Thompson,
president of the Trades Assembly, he /
made a short speech. Galesburg fur
nished the biggest crowd that gathered !
to see Mr.. Bryan during his nights
journey, fully 5000 people being packed |
closely about the truck from which he
spoke and in the narrow alleys formed |
by the train and adjacent buildings. It |
was only after a severe struggle that |
the candidate succeeded in reaching the |
truck. and even a greater effort was
required to get back again. The bands |
were in attendance and the greatest |
enthusiasm was shown.
Monmouth, reached at 10:45, was the |
last place where Mr.. Bryan spoke to-
night. The crowd was large and cheer
ed without stint 1t was 11:40 when the
train reached Burlington, but the
throng there was large and gave the |
nominee a cordial greeting.
