ST. LOUIS, July 16, 1S96-rWilliam J.
Bryan arrived here from Salem, Ill, at
S:45 o'clock this morning, via the Baiti-
more and Ohio Southwestern Railroad. 1t
was sleepy looking crowd that assem-
bled at Salem station three hours pre-
viously to await the coming of the West
pound train. The morning air was chilly
and Mr.. Bryan wore a light overcoat. He
bought tickets for himself, his wife and
his three children, and all took seats in
one of the day coaches Mr.. Bryan's sis
ter and his nieces, the Misses Wilson, saw
the party off. Somebody presented Mr.
Bryan with basket of peaches, and on
family made a light breakfast. The train
was an ordinary accommodation and had
30 parlor cars attached.
AT several stations Mr.. Bryan stepped
from the train and shook hands with early
risers who had assembled to greet him.
At Carlyle, ILL.,, where the first stop was
made about fifty persons grasped his
hands. Mayor Webb, VINO headed the con-
tingent at the little town of Lebanon, ac-
companied the party to ST. Louis.
AT East ST. Louis several hundred peo-
pie were assembled and their cheers
caused Mr.. Bryan to Step 10 the platform
! Of the station and make a few re-
marks.
Il can understand" he said, s.your
curiosity to see a Presidential candidate.
I've been there myself This caused a.
laugh. He told them he hoped the
sight of him would enable them to form
such opinions as they would. His father
in-law, he said, had a saying that you
can't tell how far frog can jump with
out seeing him do 1t, but he wanted to
say that he and Mr.. Sewall believed in
the platform on which they stood, and
believed in carrying out its provisions to
the very letter. They believed that the
politics outlined IN it were good and
should be carried out Mr.. Bryan quoted
as saying of Bismarck that the farmers
should stand together and protect them
selves from the drones who produce moth
ing but law.
This gave Mr.. Bryan the opportunity
to pay little compliment to the pro-
marking that if he talked any longer
ne would be drawn into a speech. AS
the train rolled out of the station pre-
paraiory to crossing the big bridge over
the Mississippi, Mr. Bryan was given a
parting salute by the dozens of locomo-
tive whistles. The train reached the
Union Station in ST. Louis at 8:45. About
S.D00 people had assembled and when Mr.
Bryan appeared on the platform leaning
on the arm of Colonel Nicholas NJ Bel
cheers. >
In the pushing and jostling of the
crowd Mr.. Bryan became separated from
MS wife and children. He mounted
chair and the crowd began clamoring for
a. speech Mr.. Bryan sm.lingly replied
am looking for that which is dearer
70 me than all else nv wife and chill
oren | would be glad to make a speech
put like all people we must eat We have
put a few minutes in which to satisfy
our hunger. / hope you Will kindly ex-
cnse me if I do not make speech at

stration and feel sure that if YOU keep
TINS enthusiasm until November there
VIII be no doubt of my election" He
