Conspicuously Absent.
Notwithstanding tho fact that the event
had been loudly and repeatedly advertised
only a sparse crowd of 100 men and women,
with a sprinkling of railroad employee,
awaited the private car of William Jennings
Bryan Monday night at 7:30 o'clock as It
pulled Into the depot. AMlvely cheer was
raised considering tho size of the crowd, and
the presidential candidate appeared on the
rear platform. Joseph Connor appointed
himself master of ceremonies and clung In
a perilous nttltudo to tho platform outside
tho brass rail.
Ono by ono tho scanty company crowded
around and shook hands with Mr. Bryan,
who extended both palms and returned a
hearty grip. His outdoor llfo during tho
summer has left him bronzed nnd stalwart
and seemingly in perfect health. Connor
spied several democrats In tbo crowd ap
parently too timid to elbow their way to the
platform. Ho shouted to these by name
and they, too, felt tho prcssuro of thnt
strong hand. No ono presented any roses.
No ono asked Mr. Bryan to speak.
Tho candidate's car was drawn back n
few blocks Into tho yards, followed by threo
cheers from tho bystanders. Connor still
dangled nt tho danger of his llfo from tho
brnss mil. Several switch levers grazed his
body and tho men of the party dragged
him bodily over tho rail.
During the rldo to tho end of the switch
Mr. Bryan remarked that It was Just four
ye.nrs, lacking five days, slnco ho had taken
tho trip before for nn identical purpose.
Besides tbo candidate tho party Is mado up
of Mrs. Bryan and William Jennings, Jr.,
Govornor Charles 8. Thomas of Colorado,
temporary chairman of tbo natlonnl con

Martin 'of St. Louts nnd several nowstmner
men. Misses Ruth and Kdlth Bryan aro

Governor Thoraia, who left Denver Sun

for tho purposo of officially notifying Mr.
Stovenson at the Indianapolis ceromonlal
of his nomination for tho vice presi

absent from Lincoln nbout ten days,
spending a short tlmn on his re
turn nt tho national headquarters at Chi
cago. On his return to Lincoln ho will
spend tho tlmo uneventfully at home for
soveral wrecks, unless ho Is summoned to
Topcka to recclvo tho lntclllgcnco that ho
was nominated at tho Sioux Falls conven
tion. Tho crowd In attendance was notablo for
Its dearth ol prominent democrats, not a
half dozen being present who are even
known In tho councils of their party. After
the trnln had pulled out to the accompani
ment of cheers and waving of handkerchiefs
ono of tho best known politicians In the
group remarked in disgust:
"Why It was a regular freczo-out. I fully
expected thero would be rt couple of thou
sand people down here. No speeches! No
flowers! What can everybody bo thinking
about? You'd expect a mnn running for
mayor to get a heavier ovation than this."
Tho railroad employes returned to their
duties and the remnant of the crowd made
Its way upstairs to tho electric cars.
