Special Trains Will Be Run to
Both Places.
OTHER POLITICAL ITEMS

District democrats, regardless of local
factional differences, are looking forward
with great interest to the coming of Mr..
William Jennings Bryan to this vicinity
early next week. That they will rise early
Tuesday morning in order to give him a
cordial greeting when his train rolls in over
| the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, at Z
O'Clock, Is certain, and that a big crowd
will accompany him from the 9th street
depot to the Metropolitan Hotel, where he
will take breakfast, is equally assured.
| Whether Mr.. Bryan will have anything to
say during his brief stop here is not def
nitely known yet, but when the general de-
sire of his followers to have him do and
his characteristic inclination to accede to
such wishes are considered, the probabili-
ties are strong that he will make a short
address from the Metropolitan balcony.
Upon his arrival here Mr.. Bryan will be
taken in charge by the state central demo-
cratic committee of MARYLAND, under the
craftsmanship of Mr.. Murray Vandiver, and
will be the guest of the MarTianders at
| breakfast. Several local democrats of
prominence will be present at the meal, in
ciuuing Mr.. James L. Norris, who will ac-
company Mr.. Bryan on his ensuing trip
thI ough Maryland. The partly will leave
Washington over the metropolitan branch
| of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at $50
o'clock, Tuesday morning, and the first stop
| will be made at Rockville.
