They won't expect me to leave the train, will they?" You know I am scheduled to arrive In Lincoln this morning and I had hoped to slip back home in a modest way!” The governor slipped on his coat, removed his skull cap and donned a black felt hat. The porter whisked at the vice presidential nominee with a broom, dusted the gubernatorial hat and received a $1 tip for his pains. Bryan Dignity Threatened. “I believe we had better walk back to the observation car platform, Judge,” said Bryan, twisting his mustache vigorously, and starting to ward the rear of the train as It ap proached the b. Idge across the Mis sourl river. The quiet Bryan dignity nearly was lost between the last two ears, as he tripped over two suitcases piled In the vestibule, but he succeeded In recovering his poise In time to greet a New York traveling man, who In troduced himself In the observation car and proffered his wish of success. "We lost so much sleep and missed so many meals back there In New York, that it seems I have been gone much longer than three weeks,” mused the governor, as the train rolled into his own state.
