BRYANS
COMING
WILL BE IN THIS CITY ON
The MORNING TRAIN
VIII Address the Voters in the
Afternoon

VIM. j. Bryan, the idol OF the peO-
pie OF this State, will be in this city
today. An ovation such as has not
been seen in this city in a number of
years will be given him.
The arrangements are as follows:
on the regular train this morning.
He will continue on through to Virgin
ia City, where he will speak and will
be given a reception equal to the one
rendered President Grant when he
visited the famous camp. AS soon as
he finishes the talk to the Comstock
voters, he will take a special train
for this city. He is expected to ar
rive between the hours of 2and D.
m, when he will be escorted to the
Opera house.
The committee that has had the
details in hand have been doing con-
siderable fgureing. One hour the sun
would shine, and the next a rain
storm would set in. The committee
has figured that if posib.e, the speech
would be made in front of the Capitol,
but the weather indicates that it will
| be necessary to occupy the Opera
/ house.
| Many people from up the valley
i have telephoned and otherwise en-
quired regarding the arrival of the
great commGner and they will undou-
btedly be on hand. Form the inter
est taken in all quarters, it is evident
that Bryan is as great a favorite in
Nevada today as he was four years
ago, when he made a speech in this
city.
There is only one thing that car
upset the calculations OF men these
days. and that is the railroad train;
that are running in this. section. Wit
the train anywhere on time, tn
friends and admirers of Mr. Bryan
will have the PLEASURE Of seeing ant
hearing him today.
