William Jennings Bryan, the defeated
for all the contumely Of the Republican
press, the terror of plutocracy, and the
idol of the masses of the people, Is in the
city.
tion would be made or was desired upon
the arrival yesterday Of the noted vis-
itor, but Notwithstanding very large
number Of people congregated at the
OF the peoples cause. Doing honor on
holy day to him who has earned name
and fame In a holy cause did not seem 50
incongruous after all.
The train was only very few minutes
late and it was barely twenty-five min
utes to one when it swept into the sta
tion. The special Pullman was in the
rear and was decorated with profusion
of bunting. After each passenger
alighted and the hero Of the hour did
not appear cries for Bryan were raised,
and then 1t was quickly spread around
that he had alighted at the River sta
ton.
Meantime the following members of
the executive committee of the Jeffer
sonian club had boarded the train and
welcomed the party of gentlemen who
had accompanied Mr.. Bryan from the
north: c. c. Wright, president; r. w.
Dromgold, r. Todd, Earl Rogers, A. W.
Bishop. R. Y. Mcbride, Martin c. Marsh,
Telfair Creighton and A. Ramish.
It was definitely decided that Gov.
Budd would accompany Mr.. Bryan on
his southern trip, but he is martyr to
rheumatism and an attack by his old
enemy prevented the consummation of
the original plan. Among other of the
guests, however, who arrived were:
Judge J. G. Mcguire, congressional rep
resentative from the Third district; A
Caminetti, ex-member of congress from
the northern part of the state; w. A.
Afford, chairman of the state Democrat
ic committee: w. W. Foote, chairman of
the general reception committee; 7. H.
Gould. Thomas V. Gator, J. ]. Dwyer,
member of the state central committee;
Hon. W. A. Craig, one of the state elec-
tors, and George Baker, chairman of
the State Silver party.

that all the considerations that impelleG
those parties to make him their candi-
date for the presidency in 1896 will op.
crate with tenfold force to induce the
same action in 1900 He has fairer pros
pect of being the next president of the
United States than any man who ever
filled that office ever had three years be-
fore the election.
JEFFERSONIAN RECEPTION
From o'clock until 10 o'clock last even
ing the rooms of the Jeffersonian society
on the second floor of the Van Nuys ho-
tel We're thronged with Democrats, who
gathered in an informal manner to meet
the party leaders from the north who
arrived in the city escorting Hon. W. ]
Bryan.
The guests of the club had been giver
a tally-ho ride about the city during the
afternoon and the gathering of the
clans in the evening was in the nature
of general love feast.
The rooms were handsomely decor
ated with flags, roses, marguerites, and
sprays Of pepper boughs concealed the
chandeliers. In an ante room delicious
claret punch, such as George Chalfant
only can compound, was served and ci-
gars were offered. All the prominent
local Democrats were on hand and for
two hours greetings were exchanged and
"reminiscences discussed. Among the
notables from the north who were
present were W. w. Foote, T. V. Gator,
ex-Congressman A. Caminneti, j. G.
Mcguire, T. H. Gould, William H. AL
ford, George w. Baker, A. l.. Baker, Will
liam Craig, J. J. Dwyer, j. G. McNichol,
From Riverside came Mark L. Plaisted,
there was Oscar Trippett from San Di-
ego and Tom Rice and H. Toland from
Ventura, besides g. host of others whose
names are as yet to fame unknown.
Every local Democrat of prominence
was there and to mention names would
be but to- call the roll of the wheel
horses of the party in this city.
Mr.. Bryan did not put in an appear
ance as had been anticipated by some,
but spent the evening at church and in
calling on friends.
ATRIP THAT FAILED
An attempt was made yesterday by
the Silver Republican club to make ar
rangements so that Mr.. Bryan could
hours, and deliver short address. The
San Diego representatives now in the
city were anxious that this should be
done if possible, and Mr.. Bryan himself
expressed his desire to meet the citizens
of the bayn climate town. Accordingly
yesterday afternoon Sutherland Hutton,
DR.. w. M. Johnston and Judge ]. Noonan
Phillips of the executive committee
called on General Passenger Agent
Byrne of the Southern California and
made arrangements for special train
to leave this city at midnight Monday.
The trip to San Diego was to have been
made so that Mr. Bryan could speak at
7 a. m. and return to Los Angeles in
time to catch the HAS train for the
north.
When the San Francisco leaders heard
of this move they interposed an objec-
ton, saying that if Mr.. Bryan was held
at San Diego until Z o'clock or after he
could not be returned to this city in
time to keep his northern engagements.
Accordingly. after the silver champion s
return from church last evening he was
The herald., 1897-07-05

waited on at the residence of NathaE
Cole. jr., by the committee representing
San Diego, composed of Oscar Trippett
Judge Kinney and Mark Piaisted OF
Riverside and also Messrs. Gould, AL
ford, Foote ana Baker of the San Fran
cisco delegation.
The San Frt.iciscans were perfectly
willing that the trip should be made,
but were opposed to any later hour for
the speech than a. m., which would
allow time for the return to this city.
The San Diegans objected to this early
hour and stated that they did not be-
lieve that the citizens would turn out
at that hour, and unless the time could
be set for o'clock the trip had better
be abandoned. After considerable dis
cussion the matter was settled, the
train Cancelled and the incident closed.
AS far as Mr.. Bryan was concerned
he was willing to make the trip, but
placed himself entirely in the hands OF
the committee and their decision was
final. The Silver Republica1 club did
all in its power, offering to pay for the
train and all expenses but as the San
Diegans did not desire the speech at
so early an hour they failed to get Bryan
at all.
AT THE COMMITTEE ROOMS
The Silver Republican headquarters
yesterday were crowded all day long.
The visitors from outside points were
numerous and they were made welcome
by the club members, who were there to
extend the right hand of fellowship.
Secretary Cooper had busy day. So
did Sutherland Hutton and Charles H.
ONeill, the gentleman who has been
acting as assistant secretary.
The work of decorating the pavilion
went on all day yesterday. A large
force was kept busy. The decorations
when finally completed will be simply
magnificent.
