the generals to arise this morning was
Genera Howard. lie sleeps lightly,
and as soon as he felt the motion OF
the car as the special pulled over the
frogs and switch joints of the Topeka
yards at Z o'clock, he tunbled out of
his berth and dressed up for the dav.
The first stop was made at Osago City,
where o crowd Of about 1000 had
collected.
General Alger a introduced b.
= Marshall of Usage City. The five
s rails and the one corporal pre-.
sen<ed themselves on the platform.
General Alger was still hoerse and h.
spoke but briefly.
General Alger then introduced Gen.
eral Howard. lie had heard frequently
OF late, the sneer about pulling the
old soldiers leg lie wanted to say
simply that the old soldiers nae gone
to war to preserve the country under
II flag, and they wanted now only
that the country should continue. lie
appealed to the voters not to let any
fool Pops" mislead them. The Pop.
ulists were men who wanted another
form OF governmental divine govern
incnt with the railroads and tele-
graphs all operated from Washington,
n the Lord on duty to conduct it
right.
At Emporia about 5000 people gath
cred to hear the generals. They spoke
in n similar strain as at Usage City.
At Strong City a halt OF twenty min
utcs was made and Generals Alger,
Sickles and Howard made short
speeches to about 80 people. 1t was
not a responsive audience and it evil
IDENTITY was largely dominated by free
silver sentiment, but it paid respectful

periods.
At Florence General Stewart was
the star speaker. where 500 or 500
men,, women and children gathered
ut the train. lie was interrupted FIRE.
qucntly by the bell Of a locomotive
nearby. Finally, he stopped, saying:
II can't talk against a bell. That
bell is like q Populist, always going
through the country making u noise
II interruptlng the good things"
General Howard, General Marden and
General Alger also spoke.
AT MARION the crowd was unmiS-
takabiy Republican aud applauded
vigorously. When the train reached
Uilisboro, a German sett ement, 800
people were standing on the platform,
but the town IA not on the schedule
for a stop and the train shot by.
When General Sicklcs. sitting in the
observation room, caught signt of the
disappointed crowd he cried out to-
the braltcman: stop the train and
we will back up to those people. l
may never see them again" And so
the train was stopped and backed up
while General Slc,Sles spoke to them.
They wanted him to speak in German,
but he does not speak that language
and spoke to them in English of their
countrymcn, the brave Sigel.
