PUEBLO. CoLo, Nov. 25.-Mr. Bryan
boarded his train few minutes after 8
o'clock this morning at Denver, where he
went to sleep in Pullman car. The train
pulled out from Denver at o'clock. The
first stop was at Burnham, where a large
crowd had assem- bled. There were calls
for a speech, but when told that Mr.. Bryan
was asleep the crowd preserved silence.
at Littleton the same programme was
repeated, with the exception that Gov
ernor-eIect Adams addressed a few words
to the crowd, and then the train left for its
waters of the Arkansas from the Platte.
The pace was terrific, the train swinging
around the long curves at lively gate
and when the engine halted at Palmer
Lake, on the apex of the watershed, Mr..
Bryan stepped off the train to get cup of
coffee and landed in the midst of the
howling crowd, to which he smiled and
addressed a few words.
The next stop was at Colorado Sprin gs,
Little Lunnun,' as it is dubbed, where a
large crowd cheered itself hoarse and one
or two shouted "Hurrah for Mckinley"
The next stop was at Pueblo. At t10:3O
the train entered the yard limits, where
there was continuous ovation. At the
Union station arches had been erected,
and as the guest LETT the train he gazed up
street gayly decorated in flags and bunt-
ing. The music of bands was heard, and
above all the cheering of the crowds that
had poured into the city all the day and
night before. Carriages were in waiting
and Mr.. Bryan was driven through the
city; first TO the Centennial High School,
where about 1000 children were gathered
waving flags. In short speech he praised
the flag and said:
This flag is the emblem of the National
sovereignty. The thing we carry in time of
battle that we use for decoration on the
Fourth OF July and other occasions. / love il
so well that think I ought not TO be used py
any political party. No party is big enough TO
own that flag. [Cheers.1
/ want OH TO remember in this country men
are not born great; they do not derive their
greatness from their ancestors. l re joice that
live in land where no man can mold office
unless the people want him. 1t is sometimes
inconvenient when they don't want you.
iLaughter.l 1t is the best form OF Govern
ment-demoeracy; the only Government that
can be made as good as the people deserve to
have.
From school to school he was driven
and the scene was repeated. The speech
OF the DAY was made at the Mineral Pal
ace, where he addressed several thousand
people on the political issues of the day,
along the same strain in which he spoke
while in Denver yesterday.
This being the home of Governor-elect
Aiva Adams. that gentleman introduced
Mr.. Bryan at the various meetings held
He was wildly cheered by the people and
then was driven to the Grand Opera house
wnere he spoke to women exclusively and
then drive about the city was in order
At 6:30 Mr.. Bryan boarded a train for
his home in Lincoln, passing through
Colorado Springs at 7:30, where a great
crowd had gathered at the station and to
whom he addressed few words. That
city, which has always been overwhelm-
ingly Republican, gave BRYAN ma aiority
OF 800 votes, and this was referred to, one
of the crowd jocularly remarking that the
town was no longer Little Lunnun, but
should be called Little Arkansas. This
produced laugh.
Mr.. Bryan was presented with SOU
venir book of Colorado wild flowers by
Mrs. Conrad, the gift of the ladies of the
city, and few appropriate words were
spoken in recognition, after which Mr..
Bryan resumed his nights journey.
