The reception accorded to Mr. Wil liam J 4*&an at his home in Lincoln, Neb., on the last day of the campaign was hearty, sincere and gratifying. Mr. Bryan showed his appreciation of the kindly dcmofletration, and in the course of his fj&narks he reiterated e just after his nom ination that II elected-he would not be a candidate fora second term. It was his principal-closing speech of the campaign, and was delivered in a clear strong voice that reached every person in the audience. HU speech was as follows: Ladles and gentlemen : This is the last opportunity that I shall have to address dhe people of Lincoln, before they sit in judgment u|»on the issues presented in this campaign.

He spent a|number of yearn on the Cincin nati Southern, was injured some time ago and had to <rnlt railroading. He I had gone in Calhoun and wan lying In wait for him. Conductor Bell went through Calhoun at the rate of twenty mllen an hour. He says he never did see.the colonel again. Captain Bell had some thrilling ex periences during the war, and his reminiscences of those days are very interesting. He was with Major Camp bell Wallace when the latter left Knox ville for Georgia. General Longstreot moved out the same day. : Captain Bell says that one d*y,hrbeo he was running on the Western and Auntie an engine struck an Irishman, knocked him off the track and hurt him pretty badly. One of tbe railroad then asked him wpat engine struck him. The irishman replied that It was No. 100, but if it'll ad been 200 It would have killed him.

The facts, not unmixed with mystery and romance, so far as they have been ascertained, show that about 1770 An tonia Segrfl was born at Mr hon, in Mi norca, one of the Balearic islands, 170 miles off the east coast of Spain. He was trained and educated in the Roman Catholic faith and at the age of twenty is&t of that years was ordained church. The youngpriest, full ofthe enthu siasm of youth and imbued with the active missionary spirit of the times, looked to the new wprld as an inviting field for Christian work, and at his request was sent to Florida Here he at once plunged into the wilderness, making his nome among the Indians, learning their language and planting the banner of bis church among them.

One night he took the Louisiana Tigers out of Atlanta, and 446r-j by Vhe tinieihey reached Ghnttnnoore he concluded that “jungle tigers” would be a better name for them, as they fought among themselves thfi whole time. Two or three were knock ed off tbe train. They threw the grease buckets and train chains at each other and were a hard set. “ In those days every man had to look out for himself,” says Captain Bell. “One night I was coming up from the river to Atlanta. My engine was slipping, although I had nothing but ojeaboose. Having a presontimontthat something might happen, I stepped off the caboose and walked along behind. As we rounded a curve 1 saw a light engiue coming at full speed behind us. I ran back and signaled the special just in time to avoid an accident.” Tho veteran conductor says he had for an engineer once a man who was employed at the roundbouee wiping ot! engines. The master machinist de clared one day it took half of his time watching this wiper, and the latter re torted that it took all his time watch ing the master machinist. Captain Bell was at Dalton when the historic engine, the General, was re captured from the Andrews' raiders, who uadiitolcn it from Engineer Jeff Cain at Big Shanty. “1 took a train load of coal with the same engine on her return to Atlanta from Dalton. Joe Renard. who is still running on the Western and Atlantic, was my en gineer.” At that time the.state road was han dling a great q uaotity of coro.between Atlanta and Chattanooga for Geqeral Bragg's army. There was a colonel at Rome with some troops, and hfi used to go down to Kingston and order con ductors to switch out three or four loads of corn which were waybilled to Bragg's army. One day this colonel met Conductor BelPs tram and ordered him to set out three car loads of corn. Bell protested, but the oolooel insist ed. Finally the conductor pretended to oonennt, and sold he would run np to the switch and hnck down.

Only genius could have achieved what William Jennings Bryan has achieved. His is that rare combina tion of qualities, intellectual, moral and physical, which precisely meets the needs of a time when revolt against established and respectably wrong is stirring men’s blood. What ordinary men have felt and failed to express to others, or even coherently to them selves, Bryan expresses with the luci dity and strength of perfect natural ness and native earnestness. Other men could not by trying be what he is, and he by trying could not be other than 'be is. The hour and tbe man have once more arrived together. Those who, hostile to his cause and seeing his power to lift masses of men out of tbemslves, call Bryan a dema gogue blazon their own littleness, their incapacity to know a man of genius when he appears. The*crowd is always the demagogue’s inspiration and mas ter; Bryan is ever the inspiration and master of the crowd. Though he has spoken dbliy for many weeks and made speeches by the hundred, the- printed record of what he has said will ba searched vainly for a single descent from the planeof self-respecting manli ness. for a sentence thrown out to catch the applause of the moment. It is not in the man to pander to the un worthy.
