VIM. j. Bryan, who WAS the choice
of the people here last fall for pres
dent, aud whom we all hope to see
become president in 1900, passed
through Weiser yesterday on No. 2.
When the train pulled In there was a
crowd of about 400 people at the de-
pot and the cry at once arose for
Bryant" "Bryanl" Mr.. Bryan
made his appearance on the car plat
form, bowing and smiling at sight of
the gathered beauty of Weiser, which
even exceeded the men.
Some one yelled "Speech!'
Bryan smiled and shook his head
depreciatingIy and it was evident that
he did not feel like exerting his over
taxed vocal organs.
"Say something, anyhow, was
called out.
Bryan drew himself up and with a
look of mock seriousness, said
"Conlidence is restored"
A clamor of denials arose and in q
lull, Mr.. Bryan continued: 81 did
not expect to be asked TO speak here,
supposed you would all be too busy
to come to the train" A little girl
handed him boquet of yellow and
white flowers Bryan held it up and
said, "you can have a double stand
ard in nature if not in the nation. y
Amid arush of handshaking the train
pulled out, yells and cheers followed
it as it went.
In the forenoon large number
slgnilied their intention of going tt
Huntington. A rate of $115 haC
been telegraphed and when the trail
pulled in there were two extr;
coaches attached and over on,
hundred people from Weiser and sur
rounding country boarded them 70
the town in which the champion 0
the peoples rights was to talk. Other
had gone in the morning by wagon.
