Tribute to Visitor.


JACKSON, Miss, Sept. Ex-Governor
VaFdman received Mr. Bryan this
morning.
In spite Of the very early hour at
which Mr. Bryan reached Jackson
there was the usual crowd at the sta
tion to greet him. On the way over
from Birmingham, as early as 5 O'Clock
this morning the groups, gathered
around the Bryan train and by their
unseemly shouting for 1.-THE next Pres
ident Of the United States they awak-
ened not only Nh and Mrs. Bryan, but
everyone else on the train.
1t may be said in this connection,
that most OF the people Of Mississippi
are for Mr.. Bryan for President in 1908
without regard to platform. Judge
Whitfield. Chief Justice OF the Supre
me Court OF Mississippi is out in a
three colum declaration, In which he
says that the party wants nothing
but Mr.. Bryan and what he is known
to stand fora short and simple state

the tariff and the trusts and the labor
question, and perhaps q or two mat
tiers, together with the pronouncement
against corruption, against Official and
business administration"
ALL MORE RADICAL THAN BRYAN.
Justice Whitfield continued in the
following vein: Il think we may
safely lay the catering JUNCTION to
our souls-that whatever idiocies may
have been committed by some Of US in
1896 in e~xhausting vit~uperation
against Mr.. Bryan as an anarchist, etc.
we are, one and all-that is all those
who are simply honest-whether we
belong to the silver wing or the gold
wing, more radical by far to-day than
