BRYAN AT RENO.
He Got There in Time to Speak
After All.

1hele WIS a oltter feeling OF d!SaD-
pointment in Carson yesterday when
it was kn"wu that Bryan had stopped
In Reno, held a reception and made a
speech. Arrangements had been
made tC take at least 100 people from
Catsonon II special train, but as soon
as it was reported that the S. 2. train
was late, the V. &. T. people pulled off
the special tnd it WAS so announced
in this city and Virginia, An effort
was then made in this city to have u
special anyhow and sufficient names
were being gathered to warrant it,
Then it was announces that BRYAN
would not reach Reno until after
three o'clock in the morning, and the
cIt'Z rs, out Of respect to him, had
deciced not to awaken him and de-
maud a speech at such an %unreas0
able hour. and so the whole project
wa given up.
tne Virginia people received a Oh
patch to the effect<hat no matter what
time the train would arrive it would
be held forty minutes to enable Bryan
to speak, bat no such word was re-
ceived here. In fact, Carson seemed
to have been kept in he dark all the
way through A dispatch was re-
celved from Mr.. Bryan at Rene that
he would speak regardless of the hour
and had Mr.. RYAN wired this fact to
the Chairman of the Ormsby County
Central Comm ittee, a car load of peo-
pie would have been made up in short
order Ito have gone down. Virginia
City. however, having received the tip
her Silver men went down. Accord
ing to the Enterprise, at the least cal
culation $50 men started over the
grade at between 6 and Z o'clock in
the evening. More would have gone
but every available private rig had
been pressed into service and the
livery stables were emptied early AMI
there Was no way to get over the
grade. Among the teams that left
town for Reno was a ~four-horse bus
loaded with the Divide band. The
members Of the band took up a sub
scription in the afternoon after it was
known that the excursion train had
been taken off, securing enough to
charter the buss.
A telegram received in the afternoon
stated that the Bryan train woulI be
held as previously announced. but
that the speaking would be done from
me rear rlatfnr" nf ~, %r; , I
OF from the platform which had heen
erected in front OF the Reno Court
House, as previously announced.
