81. r.,9fs Julv 16.-William J. Bryan ar
-t..f hare from Salem. Ill, at S;i5 o'clock
-s- morning. II was a sleepy looking
crowd that assembled at the Salem sta
-.7- three hours previously TO await the
coming of the west-boUnd train. The
morning air was chilly, and Mr. Bryan
y.--- a light overcoat. He bought tickets
s,r himself. his wife and his three chill
s-sr and an took seats in one Of the
5av coaches Mr.. Bryan's sister and his
r.s--s. the Misses Millson, saw the party
off somebody presented Mr.. Bryan with
"a basket of peaches. and on these and
same sandwiches he and his family made
. Light breakfast.
The train was an ordinary accommoda-
-,5r. and had no parlor cars attached.
Al several stations Mr. Bryan stepped
from the train and shook hands with
elrly risers. who had assembled to greet
him. At Carlyle H., where the first stop
was made. about fifty persons grasped
4 Dis hands.
At East ST. Louis several hundred peo-
pe We're assembled, and their cheers
caused Mr. Bryan to step to the platform
Of the station and make few remarks.
"I can understand" he said" your Gu
rosity to see a Presidential candidate.
I've been there myself"
This caused a laugh. He wanted TO say
fr haf
rlatf0rm on which they stood, and be-
Iipved i'm carrying out its provisions to the
very letter. They believed that the pOli-
cies outlined in 1t We're good, and should
be carried out. Mr. Bryan quoted say
ing of Bismarck that the farmers should
stand together and protect themselves
from the drones who produce nothing but
law.
This gave Mr. Bryan the opportunity to
pay a little compliment to the producing
classes, and he concluded by remarking
that if he talked any longer he would be
drawn into a speech. AS the train rolled
out of the station preparatory to crossing
the big bridge over the Mississippi, Mr..
Bryan was given a parting salute by the
dozens of locomotive whistles,
The train reached the union station in
St Louis, at S:45 o'clock. About 1000 peo-
pie had assembled, and when Mr.. Bryan
appeared on the platform leaning on the
arm Of Col. Nicholas NJ. Bell, of this city,
he was given three hearty cheers.
In the pushing and jostling Of the crowd
Mr.. Bryan became separated from his
Wife and children. He mounted a chair
and the crowd began clamor-
ing for speech. Mr.. Bryan
smiIfngly replied II am looking for
that which is dearer to me than
all else, my wife and children. 1 would
be glad to make a speech, but, like all
people, We must eat. Having but a few
minutes in which TO satisfy our hunger,
hope you will kindly excuse me if 1 do
not make a speech at this time | am
fraf oa1
sure that If you keep up this enthusi-
asm until November there will be no doubt
OF my election. %
He was then Joined by his wife, children
and few personal friends, and proceeded
70 the depot dining room where a light
breakfast was partaken of.
Al clock, Mr., Bryan and his family,
accompanied by Mr.. Bland and several
local politicians boarded the Missouri Pa
