1t will be seen that Mr. Bryan's
route has been changed considerably
10 order to permit his coming to
Rock Island. The plan is now to
have one grand meeting at some
point convenient to both cities, and
thus give Mr.. Bryan opportunity for
an houe's address here instead of
putting him to the Inconvenience of
two short speeches. and . hurried trip
from one city to the other. A single
meeting would also be more advan-
tageous for Davenport. as we'll a.
Auscatins, Clinton and the county
at large.
A meeting of the democratic coun-
ty committee has been called at the
Harper for Monday afternoon to ar
range for the Bryan meeting.
