Omaha. Neb., November 2.-The
population Of Omaha was on the streets
and in the public halls tonight, The

former devoting themselves to listen
ing to speeches by their candidate and
the latter to a monster street parade,
accompanied by brass bands and fire
works galore.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at the Omaha
station at 8 o'clock and was met there
bv a large concourse of his followers
by who he was escorted in an informal
procession to Boyds theatre. There
was no effort at an organized parade
further than such as was afforded by
the reception committee, the music ana
the Bryan veteran corps, an organiza-
ton of old soldiers, who acted as an
escort of honor.
Mr.. Bryan was received by a loud
burst of applause, which was continu-
ously repeated as his carriage moved
along the street. He addressed aud
fences at six or seven different halls,
finding the speaking places packed to
their utmost capacity upon his arrivel
at each of them. Some of the halls
had been crowded from six o'clock.
with the doors locked to keep out later
arrivals who sought admission. 1t was
evident from the reception accorded
at each place that whatever the feel
ing on the outside, Bryan's friends oc-
cupied the halls. as he was received

Fairmont, VIVA. November 2.-The
free silver forces in this county are
anxiously awaiting the election of to-
morrow, feeling confident that Marion
county will give her support to Bryan
and Watts. This county Will be very
ed for $50 majority at It's liberal esti-
ed for $50 majority at its liberal esi-
mate. When the majority is estimated
between the contending forces it Will
be found that a small majority will be
on the peoples side.
Charles b. Barnes, secretary Of the
Democratic County Committee said to-
day:
we are not claiming the earth. but
we do claim this county and the result
will tomorrow show that we have suf-
fcent reason to do so. II tle change
for free silver in the Republican ranks
is as great all over the State as it is
in Marion county, there should be no
doubt of a large majority for both
Bryan and Watts"
e. J. Dagney to-day returned from
Monongah and he says The miners there
are anxiously awaiting tomorrow that
they may show the world that they in
tend to vote for the people. The Re
publicans have made q strong effort
there, but with little effect They are
to a man for Bryan, Watts and Brown
and the major part OF the county ticket
and they are not a bit backward about
telling it,"
Only this morning an Old soldier
near here called in mis- four sons and
told them that he had always been. as
they knew, a Republican. but that he
wasn't going to vote for any man who
did not favor free silver and he didn't
want them to. They an talked it over
and decided that five votes should go
for Bryan which the county commit
tee had not expected. The gentleman,
who is highly respected i'm this section
is not a bit backward in telling his de-
cisiOn to his former associates and he
is working for a free silver victory

At Boothsville last Saturday ohm
T. McGraw was one Of the speaker
and he was telling of Mr.. Bryan and the

When he related how Mr.. Bryan pray
ed for strength to carry on his fight
many of the old men burst into tears
and one. Mr. Jessie Nixon, well-ou
and highly honored farmer, alterWard
said his vote should go for Bryan.
There is no doubt about the result
in this county and Democrats are as
iubilant now as if the favorable re-
suits were publicly known. Dayton
would have run Brown close here and
might have received a small majority,
but for his recent speeches here In
which he took all the glory Of the RiY-
