Wis participated freely in the conversa-
lions, and announced his intention to
speak during the campaign in various
states of the union, including New York.
He said he accepted the Democratic plat
form in toto, but that he would devote
himself especially in his speeches to the
exploitation of the subject of imperial
ism. He expressed the opinion that the
Beers would never surrender SO long as
any of them were left, and said he had
heard both Presidents Kruger and Steyn
SO outline the determination of their peo-
pie.
Mr.. Bryan and Mayor Harrison rode
on the engine, at the invitation of the
railroad authorities, between Lafayette
and Lebanon. Brief stops were made at
several places on the way, and there were
scores of people at many points at which
stops were not made.
The principal stops were made at Kan
kakee, ILL.,, and Lafayette, Ind. At both
places large concourses of people awaited
the coming of the train, and at Kanka-
kee the first speaking Of the tour was in
dulged in. The crowds cheered enthusiasts
tically, but were in all cases orderly and
good natured.
BRYAN MADE A SPEECH.
Mayor Harrison introduced Mr. Bryan,
who said:
"I am a very cautious man, and while
I have seen it stated in the papers that
1 was 10fHfnated % eH5 presidency
know that you cannot always trust what
you see in the papers. And l am not
going to take 1t for granted that l have
been nominated until l am officially noti-
fed of it down at Indianapolis. do not
want to make a speech as the presidential
candidate until l am sure that 1 am nom
mated. Mr. Stevenson, the nominee for
nFnCi6pnnU iS nd
Thomas, of Colorado, who is to notify him
of his nomination, is on the train and,
believe, has privately informed him that
he has been nominated, therefore he has
more reason for making a speech than I
have, and l take pleasure In presenting
to you your candidate for vice president,
who is I hope and believe, to be the next
vice president of the United States, Hon.
Adlai E. Stevenson"
Mr.. Stevenson also excused himself and
| introduced Mr.. Alshuler, of whose candi-
dacy he said there could be no doubt
Mr.. Alshuer made a brief address, eX-
pressing his belief in the success of the
national ticket and calling upon his hear
ers to do their duty at the polls.
At Lafayette Mr.. Bryan did not speak,
except to introduce Gov. Thomas The
governor assured his hearers that Mr.
Bryan and Mr.. Stevenson would carry
every state in the Rocky mountain
region by majorities equal to those by
which he carried them in '96.
Nothing on earth remained to do but
| for Indiana. Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin
to do their duty as they had done before.
If they did so the party would give them
president of the United States who
wore no mans collar and who belonged to
the common people," (Applause.)
| Webster Davis also made q few re-
marks, eXhorting the Democrats of In
diana to earnest effort in behalf of Bryan
and Stevenson.
| At Lafayette the train was met by the
reception committee from Indianapolis.
The crowd at the station at Indianapolis
was so great that it required the utmost
energy of Col. Martin to get his distin-
guished party landed In the waiting car
riages.
Mr.. Bryan's we'll known figure was rec
ognized, a great shout was sent up and
cheers followed him constantly until he
arrived at the Grand hotel The streets
were lined thickly with the people. II
was o'clock before the travellers sat
down to their delayed dinner. After din
ner Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Stevenson were
| given general reception at the Grand

large number of people and chatted pleas
