BRYAN GOT HIS ANSWER.

A good story is going round among the trav-
cling men out West says the Nebraska State
journal. While recently on trip along the
Burlington and NJ ssouri line in Nebraska, Mr.
Bryan was desirous OF making a speech at
certain city al which the train made the usual
stop OF few minutes. According to the story
Mr.. Bryan telegraphed to the officials asking
if the train could not be held at The station in
question for fifteen minutes. 1t appears that
there were several extra freights on the same
division at the time, and TO delay the passen-
ger would have neCeSsitated delay OF the
freights. At all events Mr.. Bryan was not par

officials had wired: The Burlington and Mis-

DICK CROKER AS AN ORATOR.
Chicago Times-Herald.

There is one place in this country where
they think Richard Croker is great orator 1t
is out in Utah.
81 never made speech in my life" said Mr..
Croker, except by proxy. At the Democratic
National COnven tiou OF 1888, held in ST. Louis,
there were contesting delegations from Utah.
One of these delegations was for Cleveland
ana the other against him. Naturally our
sympathies were with the latter. When the
Utan men fellows asked some of our men to
have Croker present at the meeting of the
committee on credentials to make speech in
their favor our fellows promised, thinking to
play joke on me. But sent another man to
speak tor me. lie was ii troduced as Croker,
and as he was not known a. all then every one
was fooled. The speech he made them was a
rattler, and 1t carried everything before it
like storm. To this day out in Utah they
think aro great orator.
