DEARLY BELOVED:
After doing the Omaha exposition two
day: and nights the eastern delegates
and those from the middle west to the
National Editorial convention left on
their special train for Denver on Sunday
morning, the 4th.
This contingent has special train Of
eleven Pullmans for eighteen days and
for which they pay the Pullman COM
pany $50 a day per car, or $3.50 a day for
eighteen days-nearly $1,000. They pay
for the train during the six days it
stands on the side tracks at Denver as
we'll as for the two days it stood at
Omaha. This is dropped here en- pass
ant for it Is we'll enough sometimes t.
disabuse the public mind of the COM
monty accepted idea thai newspaper
man is chronic deadhead of whom
nothing but free pnffs Is asked. In ad-
dition to this trifle Of expense, the dele
gates will leave behind them at the
Deaver hotels not less than 5000 or
5000 and as much more in the shop
ping district. tits fair to say in this
connection, however, that the railroad
companies haul the Pullman train with
out price, but the Pullman people are
antocrats to whom there Is no appeal.
With them its the newspapers. be damned
as we'll as the public.
A stop was made at Lincoln en- route
from Omaha, at which place the citizens
rendered the excursionists trolley ride
all about the pretty little city. A rest Of
several hours was taken including din
ner at the hotels, no one hostelry being
able to accommodate all, something like
400 all told. On the trolley ride a stop
was made at the home Of William Jen.
nings Bryan, where many excursionists
alighted and went through the cozy and
handsomely furnished cottage Of Che
great silver champion. The parlor is
filled with souvenirs Of The last presi-
Dental campaign and in an umbrella
and cane tete in the vestlbule stands
something like fifty canes presented to
Bryan by his admirers. Adjoining the
parlor. connected by sliding doors, Is the
library and the great apostles work
shop. Mr.. Bryan's home is modest in
|dimensions and furnishings and such as
usually possessed by the average well-to-
lido attorney in the small cities. A call
was made also upon Gov. Holcome, who
received the party in front Of his house
