point OF vantage at all we must get

so DONG got a very good position.
Sucn another crowd | have never wit

ton were simply blocked for half a
mile before the train arrived and all
traf11c had to be suspended. One Incl
oent occurred which will serve TO Illus
trate the kin6 Of a jam it was. A
brawny truckman undertook to drive
through the crowd near where we were
standing. He soon found himself
blocked but tried TO force his way
through by whipping his horses, evil

down If they did not give way. They
were poWerlesS to move, however, so
took his horses by the bits and
threatened to turn the truck over IN
less he consented to stand still.
Mr.. Bryan finally arrived and with
the assistance Of a big force of police
an avenue was opened TO allow the
procession to proceed. 1t was a very
grand sight, the procession, headed by
the band and platoon of police, filing
slowly through the immense crowd
which kept up constant cheering
which was nearly deafening. Mr..
Bryan is very handsome man but he
looked like an Apollo, seated in an
and bowling to the enthusiastic
multitude, while fire ell along rhe roule
lit up the scene. AS the procession pro-
ceeded toward the Clifton house the
crowd became even more dense than AIT
the station, and actually separated the
carriages from the band and platoon of
police, with the result that the car
riageS lost their lead and turned into
another street, and made their way to
the hotel, while tine band and police
arrived late by another route. l did
not stay to hear Mr.. Bryan speak, for
had heard him before, and the crowd
was getting SO immense that / decided
II was a safe plan to get out of it, and
my companion drought likewise. l will
not attempt to estimate the number Of
thousands who turned out to welcome
Mr.. Bryan, but it was as I said, the
largest and most enthusiastic, many
times over. that I have ever seem
Among the places Mr.. Cannon visited
was Montreal, Canada. There, he said,
he encountered placar1s in the street
cars, conveying the information to the
public that after August l American
silver would not be accepted for fares.
He said, however, that Che Canadian
banks are taking different attitude
toward silver; that they are in no wise
alarmed, and are not Withholding their
money from the United States. The
Bank of Montreal, which has very large
Investments on this side of the line,
doubtless larger than any other, was
one of the places where Mr.. Cannon
received such Information.
Returning home, Mr.. Cannon encoun-
tered school teacher from Nebraska
from whom he received considerable in
formation relative to the claims that
have been made chat Bryan would not
carry his own state He told me-"

prospect that Bryan will carry Neb-
raska, and explained the claim that he
will not CARRY his own congressional
district, and the decreased vote he re-
ceived in his last canvass there, by
saying that Bryan lives in a district
that is very strongly Republican, and
that even though the district were
against him, it would be no Indication
that he would lose the state. Concern
ing his decreased vote, my Informant
said that was due TO the legislature
gerrymandering BryaI's district
Concerning the general outlook Mr..
Cannon said:
Before L went away I had, suppose,
in common with g great many, figured
out the states that 1 believed would
be carried by the respective candidates.
Since 1 have been gone my observations
have not led me TO believe that any
of the states 1 gave to Bryan have
swung into the Mckinley column, while
am strongly impressed with the idea
that at least two of the Mckinley
states, or those l so counted, have
turned to Bryan They are Maryland
and Delaware l talked with q great
many people in both states, and all
seemed very confident they would re-
main Democratic -
In stating his personal views a9 to
the chief obstacle in the way of silver,
Mr.. Cannon said:
In my opinion the worst thing the
cause of silver has to fear is the fact
that the gold men employ at every o.p-
porunity, as one of their strongest ar
guments against silver, representations
that its advocates are Tillman repudi-
afioniests, and That if successful the ad-
nlinisETation will be AN ultra Tillman-
istic one
