or four days has been spent by Mr..

for which Mr.. and Mrs Bryan had pur-
chased tickets for Big Indian on their
way to Winnesook Lodge, where they are
to spend the night as guests of Major

just brought a crowd of passengers who

Bryan the tribune of the people,
At Kingston a colored man stepped up
to him and said: ''Now, three cheers
for Mckinley" But although there were
II umerousMckinley badges about, no one
responded to the colored mans appeal.
AT Phoenicia cheers were given for
Bryan.

brief, Mr.. Bryan again took the people
by the hand until the train began NOV
ing away. At Shandaken large crowd

cornet vigorously. Again the silver can
didate and his wife made their appear
ance and greeted the crowd cordially. On
