WHEN BRYAN CAME.
A wild Shrek, that continued to grow
in volume, went VI from the big
crowds lining every approach to the
Union depot when Bryans special
pulled in at $3.50. exactly on time
The police had done very well III their
endeayor to keep the people out of the
enclosure, where the trains stand, Eut
couple of thousand men and boys
eluded the bluecoats and made O. dash
for the private car. in which Mr.. Bryan
has travelled for the past three weeirs
The police were almost pOwerTess in
their attempt to keep the shouting
enthusiasts from overwhelming the
candidate and his wife. and it was only
by a hard struggle that they were
pushed. pulled and wedged to a stair
way leading to the street.
This proved an island OF safety, for
the police turned on the excited mob
following Mr.. and Mrs. BRYAN and
kept them from going farther. Out

ed. great cheer went up as the can
didate stepped into q carriage drawn
by four white horses.

started, the carriage containing Mr..

which fell into line and followed after
it. The central committee Of he Cook

entire route.
They proceeded up Canal street to
Madison, to Fifth avenue, to Wash
ington street, to Clark street. to Mon

at the intersection of Monroe with
Michigan avenues. All along the
ground about the line of march, the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested
Kisses were heard frequently. They
came principally from people who
swarmed in the windows OF business
houses and brought vigorous responses
of an uncomplimentary character from
those in the line.
KISSED THE NEGROES.
: AS the negro silver club was Kissed
the loudeSt. 50 was 1T the recipient Of
the greatest shouts of approval. The
Cook county Democracy marching
