The itinerary for the day embraced
the towns Of Exeter, Fairmount Harvard.
Minden, HoldYedge. Wilcox, Blue Hill,

Exeter. the first stopping place. sixty
five miles distant from Lincoln, was
reached at Z a. m. Mr.. Bryan was hast
lily escorted to hall nearby. where he
made his first speech. The hall was
filled to overlooking. The speech was
very little different from Mr.. Byan's
speeches to agricultural communities IN
other parts OF the country.

termine what you want in the govern
ment and in the way OF laws

He then entered upon his discussion o.
the farm mortgage question. Reyertlne

Brief stops were made at the town
OF Fairmont and Harvard, aud in bot
places Mr.. Bryan made speeches alon
the general lines and TO good crowds.
Mr. Bryan again urged his audlenc
at Paramount TO vote early At Haryar
there were great many gold badge
in the crowd which greeted MIR. Brya
and there were fewer cheeis there thu
at most places At Minden Mr.. Brya
spoke for only fifteen minutes and att
declaring that the fun dinner pail arg,
ment OF the republican party had bee
abandoned he addressed himself TO Il
farmers, of whom his audience was larg'
ly composed. declaring that the repul
lican party had no policy calculated
enhance the agricultural interest.
At Holdredge Mir. Bryan devoted
attention especially 10 the trusts, b
gave more or less consideration to Il
tentlon to the fact that Abraham Linco
had signed an income tax bill while
was president. Outside OF Lincoln al
Omaha, Hastings supplied the largest a
dience. Mr.. Bryan spoke for half
hour, and In connection with his discu
sion OF the Boer war, referred to |
election of John Burns to pariiameI
eaying: They have recently had
