As Bryan Spoke the Train Moved-Hotei
 Sold-Persona1.
 There was crowd of several hun dred, composed of men, women, boys, girls, gathered at the depot yesterday afternoon just before the time for the 5:26 train to arrive from New Haven, to get sight at and hear words from the silver tongue of William J. Bryan, who was known to be on the train. The tops of the freight cars on the side tracks were filled with men and boys. who were anxious to get a look at the silver tongued orator of the Platte Express wagons filled with men were lined up along the side of the track The train rolled into the depot on time, and there was a grand rush down the track to the parlor car on the rear of the train. As the car stopped MT. Bry an appeared on the rear platform and for a minute gazed out on the assem- bled crowd
 After short silence some one propos- ed three cheers for William J. Bryan, and there was one (not three) not oyer- enthusiastic cheer given. Just before the train started MT. Bryan opened his mouth to say few words of cheer something regarding the people being the prophets, and whether or not their prophecies would be fulfilled would be seen or election day. His voice was husky and could be heard but a short distance from the car. The train started up, and whatever else the speaker intended to say was left to the imagination of his hearers. The presi- dential aspirant wore jaded look, as though he was nearly tired of this rear platform show business, and his ap- pearance was such that he looked bet ter fitted for a quiet resting place than for a platform, where he was expected to make a political speech, There were many who were disappointed in not hearing a sample of his far-famed ora tory, and some expressed themselves to that effect, while others more sen- sibly expressed pity at the worn out look on the candidates face. It is safe to say that MT. Bryan's visit to Wall lingford will not, to any great extent, affect the general result in November next, when it is predicted that McKin- ley will get majority of at least 300 In this town
