BRYAN AT ST. JOSEPH.
People Climb Telegraph Poles to See
the Democratic Nominee.


St Joseph, No, July 17.-At every
station between Kansas City and St
Joseph there We're crowds of citizens.
who cheered the nominee At each
place Mr.. Bryan shook hands with the
enthusiastic people. It was 1890 when
the train reached st. Joseph, where be-
tween 5000 and 1000 people were at the
railway station to meet the train bear
ing the silver orator
When the train stopped Mr. Bryan
was met by A J. Enright. Dr.. T. H.
Doyle, F. P. Yenawine and c F. Coch-
ran, editor of the St. Joseph Gazette.
who escorted him to a platform that
had been erected for the candidate to
speak from. The crowd cheered with
marvellous enthusiasm. Every tele-
graph pole railway train, building and
elevation of any sort was crowded with
people anxious to see and hear Mr.
Bryan speak.
Upon being introduced Mr.. Bryan
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I believe
this is a larger crowd than we had
when we had our silver meeting here
last November. I don't know whether
to regard it as an evidence Of curiosity
or an evidence that the silver cause has
grown since last November. (Applause)
I have been very much gratif1ed to find
IIG interest WHICH litt- people are taxing
in this campaign. I am not vain enough
to assume that these demonstrat tions
are a personal compliment" IA voice:
Yes they are.''] Mr.. Bryan-"Or rather
as an Indication of the respect that
we find in the hearts of the American
people for our government and those
who for the time being stand as the
representatives of our government and
who aspire to position of prominence in
the administration of the government.
Whenever I think of government I
think of the words of Andrew Jackson,
that there are no necessary evils in
government, that its evils exist only in
its abuses. Government when it is
what it ought to be, when it is what
the people desire that it should be is
blessing without alloy and it is our
duty as citizens to compel the love of
our government by every citizen by
making the government so good that
the people will not only love it, but will
be willing to lay down their lives that
it may be perpetuated to posterity.
(Applause)-
When we declare against some law
as unjust, when we criticise a policy it
must not be credited as an attack up
on the government, and yet there are
some who would denOunce every per
son who seeks to reform and every per
son who seeks to change a bad Gus

two years old.

beaten her and had become an habit
Ual drunkard and she considered it
dangerous to live with him.
In her petition she alleged that he is
worth $4,000, but that he has been
trying to dispose of it in such a way
that she can have no share in it. She
asked for temporary restraining order
to keep him from selling or otherwise
disposing of or encumbering the prop
erty and Judge Hazen granted it.
She asks for So 600 alimony.
Walter Blush is a farmer and a son
of V. R. Blush. formerly a prominent

of the coming legislature from the
Seventv-sf5<th and Seventy-seventh
districts This city gave two wards to
Peters, three to Troutman and one
ward divided, one delegate being a

the county will be divided between Pc
ters and Troutman, with the chances
in favor of the latter. There was one
of the hottest fights in the primaries
ever experienced throughout the coun-
ty, and were it not for fear of a Peters
Morrill, combine, Peters would have a
clear majority. Morrill, was very un-
popular in this city. only securing one
delegate in the entire city.
