Yesterday morning when No. 3, the
Union Pacific fast mail train, stopped
at the Union depot, a large number OF
thoroughly excited passengers left the
train and sought the lunch counter for
refreshments. The cause OF the ex-
element "a a hot discussion which
had been in progress in the train oveI
politics. One gentleman was loud in
his praises Of Bryan and Sewall and
stated that the democrat ticket would
be elected by a large majority. One
little old man promptly offered to bel
all kinds of money that Bryan would
not be in it. There were no takers
He followed up his argument by max
ing the assertion that he would gamble
that not even a third Of the passengers
on board the train were for Bryan. A
anvas was made and it was found
that Of the 1876 passengers only 80 were
for Bryan.
A Tribune reporter learning of the
above. asked the conductor from what
part of the east the majority Of his
passengers started. He replied that a
majority were Nebraskans and but
aboue five Of the 1876 lived east Of the
Missouri river.-Cheyenne Tribune.
