ing. Hats were thrown in the air and
for a time the people forgot, In their en-

represent. In my own city there are

that their interests will be best subserved

thank you and will bid you good dday."
Mr.. Bryan was heartily cheered and the
crowd surged forward to shake his hand.
The people were so densely packed in
that this was found to be impossible, and
fraught with much danger, owing to the
surroundings. With the true instinct of
a friend of the people, Mr.. Bryan desisted,
and thereby saved great crush that
might have resulted seriously to those
caught In it,
Mayor Rioe again called for attention,
and introduced Mrs. Bryan, who was
given hearty cheer as a welcome, which
she smilingly acknowledged with a
modest bow.
The train pulled out soon after, fol-
lowed by the cheers of the thousands who |
had assembled, and who wished Mr. |
Bryan and his party God-speed.
