the Great Meeting.

William ]. Bryan, the idol of the De-
mocracy, arrived in Minneapolis i.st
Monday two hours before he was cx-
pected, and the result was that the lc-
ception committee were not at the depot
to greet him and bid him welcome.
Whereupon the Republican papers do
clared that Bryan's popularity had
waned, that the people. were too busy Ii.
the midst of prosperity TO spend their
time i'll gazingat a defeated aspirant for
the presidency. The Journal, in Tues
days edition, took occasion to expla.l
to Mr.. Bryan in it's leading editorial tie
many causes for the absence Of entbu-
siasm among the working people on his
second entry into Minneapolis. In the
light of the immense gathering that
turned out to greet Mr.. Bryan at the
Exposition building the same evening,
1t was amusing to Democrats and Re-
publicans alike to read the sagucious ar
tlcle in the Journal. The whole. city
seemed to have turned out to welcome
and cheer the leader Of the Democracy
