at Jacksonville, III.
 Jacksonville, H., Oct. 25.-Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were objects of interest here to-day, at church and elsewhere, Mrs. Bryan, with her husband, was a pupil at the Jacksonville academy, and the acquaintance which eliminated in their marriage began here. The can didate and his wife naturally antici- pated a pleasant day in such familiar environments, and they spent delight full Sunday, meeting old friends and talking over with them their college days. Although MT. and Mrs. Bryan did not reach Jacksonville until nearly ? o'clock this morning after a run through the night over the Burlington road from Quincy, many people had waited up to see them and to cheer the candidate Little rest had been allow ed the nominee in that fast ride.
 He was awakened twice. the first time to make midnight speech to a big audience of torch-bearers and spouters at Bluffs, and again at Mount Sterling, where neither the lateness of the hour nor the fact that it was Sun day could stay the enthusiasm of the Bryanites. The Jacksonville people who awaited the arrival of their old townsman were disappointed, for MT. Bryan remained In his berth and did not leave the train until nearly nine o'clock this morning With Mrs. Bry- an he went to the house of MT. Jones, and later in the forenoon attended ser vice at the State street Presbyterian church, where the pastor, Rev. A. B. Merry, preached a sermon that had nothing In it about silver or gold.
 Mir. Bryan slept part of the afternoon and the rest of his spare time was de- voted to receiving old friends. When he went out at dusk accompanied by Mrs. Bryan to tea with MT F. T. Dun- lap, banker, with whom he had been associated in local politics while here. MT. Jones' house was the center of in- terest for several hundred people, many of them In carriages, who had waited patiently for a long time to see the democratic nominee.
 Tomorrow morning MT. Bryan will visit the state college and probably talk to the students there about the time when he was an undergraduate. In the afternoon he will make speech in the public enclosure known as "The Square," and at o'clock will leave for Alton. Many farmers drove into town tonight, and the chances are that one of the biggest crowds that ever gath cred in this town will attend the po- cratic candidate.
 Canton, O., Oct. 25-Major Mckinley went to church this morning with his brother Abner taking advantage of the fine weather to walk to his place of worship. Later In the day he took a drive Major and Mrs. Mckinley dined with Judge Day, the majors closest friend here. The major shows no signs of fatigue or worry. He said tonight that he felt that his severest labor was over, though he expects to be busy up to the night before the election. There are many delegations coming this week and some of them interesting ones, but they will doubtless be smaller In size, and the speeches to them will, in the main, be short The delegation from Newark and Trenton, N. J., which is expected tomorrow, will attract more than ordinary attention, as will the vis- it of the sound money men of New Eng land on Tuesday
