GRAND RECEPTION TO BRYAN.
Sioux Falls People Making Great Prep
arations for His Visit There.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Oct. 12.-William
j. Bryan made his first visit to Sioux
Falls or October 8, 1896, and has been
here since that time u there is little
doubt that he will be greeted by a
larger crowd on the occasion of his
visit TO Sioux Falls on Thursday of
next week than during his former
visits.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements for Bryan day have n
augurated a movement to secure the
big tent which was used for the popul-
list national convention, held i'm Sioux
Falls in 1900. This movement is the
result of fears that the city auditor
ium, with a capacity of about 1000, will
net be large enough to accommodate
the thousands of democrats and others
who come to hear Mr.. Bryan. 1t is
thought that even the tent, which has
q capacity of from 5000 to 5000 will be
taxed to its utmost to accommodate the
great crowd. 1t Is understood here that
the big tent is now in Sioux City.
Efforts are being made to secure a
rate of one fare for the round trip from
points within 100 miles of Sioux Falls
on all railroads with lines entering the
city for Bryan day. and if these are
successful the crowd in Sioux Falls on
that occasion will be enormous.
Instead of making one address in
Sioux Falls, az at first announced, Mr..
Bryan will deliver two addresses, one
at $50 O'Clock in the afternoon and the
other at 1880 in the evening.
Mr.. Bryan speaks at Madison. Wis,
on Wednesday of next week, and will
reach Sioux Falls at / o'clock Thursday
afternoon. He must be at Lincoln,
Neb., at noon on the 18th inst, and
has a speaking engagement at LaSelle,
Colo, on the goth, so he will be unable
to stop over at any of the cities be-
tween Sioux Falls and those points aft
er leaving Sioux Falls. Mr.. Bryan will
depart from Sioux Falls on the Omaha
railroad at 10:30 O'Clock Thursday night
and will go through direct to Omaha
and Lincoln.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 12-At a meet
Ing of the republican party leaders at
the state headquarters in this city last
evening the campaign was mapped u
and speaking assignments madef for Mr..
Crawford, the gubernatorial nominee,
and Mr.. Gamble, candidate for re-elec-
ton to the United States senate.
Mr.. Crawford n Mr.. Gamble were
present at the meeting, as well as a
number of other leaders, and the whole

over, the result of the conference being
of q gratifying nature to all. There

two leaders for speaking dates, and it
will be impossible to fill but a fraction
of them, the demand upon Mr.. Craw-
ford's time being almost unprecedented.

former home and where his fight in this
state has Deer watched with much in
~terest, but it was decided that he could
be spared from this state for but one
date, and he will make the one address
in Iowa at Independence on the 29th,
Monday.
The week of October % to 81 will be
spent in the Black Hills by both Mr..
Crawford and Mr.. Gamble. The inter
val between that week n election day
has not been filled as yet and will not
be until later, when it is seen where the
services of the two men are needed the
most. Mr.. Crawford will open his cam
paign at Letcher on Friday evening of
this week, and Mr.. Gamble will make
his first address in the campaign at
Bryant mex Monday evening. From
Letcher Mr.. Crawford will go to Lyman
and Stanley counties, where he will
spend a week. and from there to the
Black Hills and then to Iowa. From
