Stops of five ana six minutes only were
made by the candidates train at towns
and villages between Hastings and Lin
coin, with the exception of Crete, where
ten minutes were spent. Harvard, Saxon
vile, Sutton and Grafton turned out good
sized crowds. About 1000 people with a
sprinkllng OF the orange among them
were a each of the two last-named places
and hearty shouts were given for Mr..
Bryan. AS the train drew out of Sutton q
number of small boys ran after it shout
ing for Mckinney at the top OF their
voices.
Mr.. Bryan started to speak from the
rear platform of the Idler at Fairmont,
where crowd of about 1000 awaited h m,
but one of the local rece ption committee
persuaded him to make his address from
the more preferable temp porary stand
about which most of the throng had
gathered. Its the worst Republican hole
in the country; you must 60" said the
committeeman. and Mr.. Bryan went.
a brief speech that was almost fierce in
its delivery was made by the candidate at
Exeter. The line of demarkation between
his supporters and his opponents there
was well defined. To his lett were the
people wearing white badges inscribed
bryan" TO his right strong display OF
orange color.
Mr.. Bryan talked q minute or two to
those whose ribbons showed their intere.t t
in his cause, and then turned quickly to
the people hose breasts bore evidence of
sympathy in another direction. To these
he said that in voting for gold standard
they forgot the feeling OF pride that M ust
come to every American in reading the
pages OF history devoted to the Revolu-
tionary War. Emphasizing his words
with vigorous gestures, be told them in
voice almost fierce in passionate feeling
that unless they wanted their children to
feel the blush OF shame for the action of
their fathers they should not vote for
policy that allowed American finances to
be dominated by foreign influences.
Mr.. Bryan's remarks worked his follow
ers up to high state OF enthusiasm, and
they yelled with might and main. The
sixteen young men on white horses and
their companion on dun animal became
SO filled with the spirit of the speech that
they deserted the seventeen young ladies
who composed the female exemplification
OF t silver ralIying cry and dashed alter
the train, shouting like mad for the DEM
ocratic candidate.
Young men in coats of old gold and
Young women in golden-hued capes were
scattered through the crowd of 100 people
at Friend. The 16 to / girls were also
there and assisted in the cheering that
punctuated Mr.. Bryan's remarks. Three
thousand com posed the crowd at Dorches-
ter, which also provided seventeen of it's
buds for the ratio tableau. Crete was fa-
miliar ground for the candidate. He had
held joint debate on the money question
at the Cnautauqua there with Colonel Irish
just before the Chicago convention, and
on that occasion and in other visits had
become acquainted with the people.
About fifty boys, wearing broad ribbons of
yellow, ran down the track to meet The
tram, giving shrill pronunciation to Nc
Kinley's name. More of them gathered
around the train when it halted. A num-
Der of men and women wore the Repub-
lican color, but they were in the minority
with those who displayed the white.
With Mr.. Bryan playing center rush in
the flying wedge formed by those who ac-
companied him way was made through
the crowd to the baseball grounds, where
the greater number of his supporters were
gathered. HIS ten-minute speech was re-
ceived with every mark of favor. at s
o'clock the candidates special pulled out
for Lincoln, fifteen minutes late
