Lincoln got her first taste of the cam
paign of 1900 this morning, when
demonstration was arranged in honor
of the arrival of Adlai e. Stevenson. 1t
was not known until late last night
just what time Mr.. Stevenson would
reach the city, so no extensive adver-
tisement was given to the arrange
ments. However, in spite of this, there
were nearly thousand people at the
depot to greet him at 10:30 o'clock.
Mr.. Bryan went early to the Lincoln
hotel and met the Democratic leaders.
At 10 o'clock carriages were ordered
and procession, headed by Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Jones, Gov. Poynter and Charles A.
Towne riding in the first carriage, was
formed. There were about dozen car

service of the newspaper men. At the
depot the Bryan Home Guards and the
Nebraska Travelling Mems Bryan club
were gathered, accompanied by q band.
When the train pulled in Mr.. Bryan en-

Mr.. Stevenson, he led him to the plat

Martin, sergeant-at-arms of the nation

for the next president and vice-presi-

being wrung by everybody within

there everyone was given an opportun-
