Just 'before the train deft Sedalia. Mr. Bryan received a telegram a. renouncing the sudden death of Governor William, E. (Russell of Massachusetts. IBoth. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were greatly shocked at the mews and Mr. Bryan at once "indited the following telegram: "Mrs. William E. CRussell. Cambridge,

W. J. Bryan."

The next place wisere Mr. liry-aa ap-oke was WaTrensbtnrg, wfoiere 2,000 peopfe (had -assembled to see and hear the noam'druee. The usual amount otf cheering •wtaa participated in and) Mr, Bryan anjswered the demands for a epeech ws foJlows: "LaJdi-eis and GeaUemKn-—If all thei people who have been crowding along tlhe oiablroad' this afternoon axe as ewthuialasWIic on election day as they* seem to be now, I haive no doubt as to ifiue "result in November. All I can ask of yo.u 'is that whien you have situated1 the questions, whem you hav-e made Uip yionir iminidis, that you do just as you please. If I am elected, well and good. Iif somie one else Is electlecl. I shall support thte government utatll I can help '•to dtoantge it". (Great appilautee.)

At Warrendb ung1, Mr. Bryan was «net by a ccumlmi'ttee of citizens from K'ansarf Ciity, who .toad come out to escort himi back 10 .that- place. The committee was headed by Senator OotdkenelO. At each olf itfhe simiailller towns tlh» train passed there -was a boomling oif old army cannon .and anvil®. The eruthuSl'aism and! exioitqmientt -increased as- the train, approaioheid Kansas City. The entire papulation of Holden surrounded the depot at that village when, the train riajme in. Everybody shou'tedl for- Bryan. Thien there was a bo-omitog of anvils, while a few exuibenaniti citizens discharged fire craicfkeris tihat had beenlefft' over from the Ftourt'b o*f July.

Speaks to the Holden Citizen*. Uiponi fbeinig initrodnioed, Mr. Bryan gaiid: ".I^adlies and. genn.Rcimen^-1 am gfllad to see the interest 'Which you iruaniifest in this camipaign. Making allowances for a large amount of curiosity, •I th'inik 1 can saeliy assume that your presence here indicates1 that you understand the importance of the oaimipaig'n ujpon whiich we are enfi?erinig. In my humble juidfefm'ent, this dis one of the greatest oamtpaigns which, has been passed through in time of peace in this nation. Issues involved 'are

great.

The

results .wilffl 'be great anid it behooves you as lovers oif your country to take the piliatifOTlmis on w'hich 'the candidates stand and umdlerstiand .the. policies -there outlined, and' to cast your 'Vote and your inifluenice on that side where you and youir interests l'ie."

And so it went all a'long the 'line. At 'Pleasant IHill there was a great crush of humanity .gathered around the train when it had come to a standstill. !Mr. 'Bryan was cheered1 as he stepped on 'the .platform 3.1^ after order was secured he said: "Ladies itrtd' Gentlemen: I am very glad to greet you. in this way. I hope that you all duly appreciate the importance of the campaign upon which we are en'tiring and that you will make it your biisih&ss to be in politics1 'this year. {Cries" „of "we will" and applause.) B^ihe people .hav£ the idea that a quesIfeyn like the money question should: ibe settled by a fewi experts. It is the greatest question in American politics and cannot be settled until .this great common people sit in judgment upon it."

A Misguided Repnbllcan.

A1 'Voice—Here is a (Republican that Will vote 'for you? Mr. Bryan—I want you to .look at that man. IHe sthe kind of a iRetpu'blican we ought to have in 'this country this year. (Applause.) II hope you will do your duty as you see it. (Cries of "We will do i.t, we will do 'it," loud applause and three cheers and a 'tiger for "Our next president.")

The enthusiasm continued 'to increase and every station platform was crowded with people eager to catch a glimpse of the free silver candidate for president. When Kansas Oity was reached ithere were 4,000 or 5,000 people packed dn and around the depot .to greet Mr. Bryan. They were there in. spite of the if act that it had .been announced t'hat he would! not speak at the depot. As he, his wife and' children Jeft the station three .policeman parted the crowd and led the way to the carriages in waiting for the distinguished party. !As they passed 'through the crowd, it cheered and shouted until frhe great halls of 'the depot -reverberated with the -deafend nig sound. The committee of citizens escorted Mr. Bryan and his family to the Coates House, where (rooms 'had been prepared for their reoeptlon.

The platform ajdopted at Chi-oa.g-0 is, to my humble juidgment, one of the most splendid ppeeeotatfohs public poiksies ever sudopted 'by a natlonaly oorovanitioo isi the United Staites. (EJn'tlhUfrtastlc applause and great.Sh«orIng.) I«t pcesemts those issues which in the Judgment of the delegates, are paramount to this campaign. It i? Democratic platform In every sentence w*»rd arul ayllabJe. (Tremendous apj^ause.) ..

J: Appeal* to the America a People, A Detpocrtftic .platform toat .carries the party book tx the days of its founder, Thomas Jefferson, (long an)d con-, tiaued appisuuse), and to its most courr q^geous defender, Andrew Jackson. (Great applfii«e.) There mevear was a 4ini6 when .the neal principles of the 'Democracy "were deatrer to 'the hearts of American people than they are -today, am4 it 1s because that platform ap-, pe^ki to the ihearta of :the American, people that you 'find, them (riisimg to Its support from the {Pacific ocean clear, dowo to the places when 'the waves of the Atlantic beat. It is inot the platformb of a section. It te 'the platform of OUT common country, and it appeals to those who love •majnkind 'to arise dai Its -de-Cense. (Great applause.) "Dt breathes the spirit of the declaration of Independence. It those fundamental truths upon which all true governments must rest. You wftl «nd, to tt «e Its keynote, all men are created) equail. It proolaims the right of every man to worship his creator according to the dictates of h.s own conscience. (Cheering and' &PpVaaise 'for -three minutes.) It pledges the party to the protection of all without .regard to station or condition in society and it pledges the par.ty -to be on respector of persona and leave lo the people the judgment of -the manner, the form and the time in which they shall worship. (Cheers and continued applause.) It is IDemoqratlc from the first sentence to the last in that broader sense in which. Democracy appeals to tall who believe In. a government 'of the people, by the people and for the people.* (Aipplau&e.) 2PYom time 'to time questions arise. But the principles of {Democracy are true in all the times and climes. We simply apply to new conditions the principles which are as eternal as the hills, and. t'h:s time our platform has declared that the paramount public question Is the restoration of the gold and silver coinage of the constitution. (Wild applause and! great cheering.) A'll other questions must stand badk until this great question Is solved. [Four years ago we went into a oampalgm where the great divid1Ing tissue was the 'tariff question. The taTlff question is a question of taxation anJ the subject of .taxation, is always with us. We may settle it-new andi again and again, but while there is a government the subject of taxation will be ever present.

"But tihere are times such «s the times through which we are now passing when the acts oif this nation upon Its financial policy may determine the •welfare of the pecpfle. not only of thf$ nation tout of the world, not. only now but for yeans and dieioades yet to oorne. We haye reached a crisis in our monetary legislation. There are those who would chain this nation to the gold standard, buit while there be those who woulld fasten- a .European yoke upon tM neoks cf Ameri'can freemen, there is but one question, and that is. can this nation govern i-teeltf and' make its own Jaws for -its own pe'ople. (Wild aippa&use andr cries oif "hi't theiml again.) In •speaking with emphasis upon this subject, I beg oif you not to .think that while we believe In the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, we lack charity for th'ose who differ from us. It is not a campaign in which we should use bitter wonds, I have every respect for the«. opinion of those who differ fro-m us. There are men., there are great men, there are good men. who do not agree to the Tetfttoration oif silver. Let us not speak of them in term© of denunciation. "Let us remember that they, too,1 are •at'temiptinig to .serve their country act tcordilng to their consciences anid according to t'heir judgment, but let this be a flight enf principles, not men. l/e it ,be acm n't est, a struggle, if you wi'Hl, ewer a great issue, and not a bitter warfare between contendilng persons. But my friendls, 'While we have all charity i\r those who dllffer from us, and when we concede to them the -righ't to wage this war as best they can, and by every honorable means secure .that legislation they thinik to he besit, I beg to impress upon you, that you have an equal right with the people of any section of this land/to make your Influence fert't in deali-mg with the destinies of this repuMic.

Silver Will Have to He Restored. ^I

Bryan* -the Deanocratlc presidential nominee tonight. The cheering began at least an hour be-fore the president-iaff candidate was advent^d to apjpekr, and ilt was kept up with an occasional foil until the distinguished (free silver advocate ajppeared on the balcony of the hotel.

than was not unlike that

which he received! aPter his famous speech at the Chicago convent'on. The Hon, Henry S.

When the oheerhig oeased, tMr. Bry^a. said: "Mr. Ohairmaiv Laddies a^td Gentlemen—We are eotertng upon *, memorable campaAgm. The platfonhvs iiave .been aidoptevi.

Relieve to 't'he very 'bottom of my heart, I believe, and the belief touches every fiber of my being, that until we restore silver to its equal place by the side of gold the place occupied for so many years, so many centuries and so many ages there can be no lasting prosperity brought back to the .homes of those who toil. (IDeafening applause.) They tell us they want confidence restored. We reply that confidence must ihave a substantial basis upon which to rest on. (Great applause.) And1 that as long as you legislate value' out of property there is nothing substantial upon 'which confidence can rest. (Applause.) If they tell us they want an honest dollar we will meet them in our desire for an honest dollar, but when we attempt to define an honest dollar we beg them to give us a dollar which is as kind to the man who produces wealth as to the man f&ho holds fixed investment, a dollar that smiies upon a man who owes a debt just as much as it does upon the man who holds a mortgage. (Great applause.) 1 am not treading in new paths nor trespassing upon dangerous ground when I tell you that a dollar which rises in value is a dangerous dollar, a dollar which reaps where it does not sow, which gives to its possessor an. unearned Increment, which is taken out of the sweat and blood of those who toil, and if a man Who owns a dollars desires that sort of a dollar, he for^ gets the equties of the case. There is no reason why the producers of wealth should bow dmvn and worship a dollar destroying them and their chances for existence. I -want to appeal to you'to study the question for yourselves and to enable you to study it intelligently andf for that purpose 1 want to suggest two things for you to think about. rut« a Knotty Problem

They tell you that the gold standard is the standard- of civilization. That Js thex argument. If they .tell you ".that -Jet me suggest an answer that is fcoittplejte. If the gold standard is' the s-tandard of civilization, wfiv is it that the United States, -the -leader -in the clviliza'tloh of the world, has never declared Cor the sroM standard.

MR. RUSSEL'S CAREER.^' .v.' .• -f Three Times Governor of MuwetaM'tiw

His Characteristics.

William. Eustis Ruas^H was born in Camlbridfefe on January 6, 1857, within the -Shadow! of the unliversi-ty firpan which he was graduated tin. i&77,. iHis father is -the well known .BtPstox).. law^ yer, Charies Theodore. Russell. The family is otf Oamlbrldig'e and Btarvaids and is k-nowiri to the students of many generations.

He received his early trainlng-in the public schools of Oambridlge in which he prepared iflor Harvard College, entering that inist'itution in 1873, and ^is- sec-ret-ary oif his class w'hiile therei

After his graduation he iiTrtimediat-ely" began the study O'f law -under" his father's eye, and also took a-course of three years at the Bostton' tJ'BiVersity Law SWhtaol. While a student at 'the law school he won the prize offered toy the late William Beach Lawrence (for the best essay on "Foreign Judgments, Their Extra. Territorial Force' a-nd' Bffetot." At the graduation exercises in 1879 he acted as his class orator.: He received the first1' 'Suimma cuth laude" degree as bachelor*oif laws ever given by the university. He was adithitted to the Suffolk bar in the April term of 1880, and fcmmediateiy began' business as a" memlber oif the law firm of C. T. & T. H. Russeilll, having the same association today, with offices in State s-treet. Mir. Russell's political affillaitions were always Dennoora-tdo. In 1881 he became a candidate and was elected a.member of the Cambridge oomtimon council, and two years lait'erbeteaime a member of the uipper branch of the city government. He was re-elected to th-e board otf aldermen in 1884, in the same year being elected president 6f -the al'umni of 'the Boston Law School.

In 1885 Mr. Russell' received the nomination o-f his party and' -the "Citizens" for the mayoralty of Cambridge* a-nd was elected by a large majority. He held the reins otf government In the mayor's chair for three terms, being reelected the tlwo subsequent years without opposition. 'During his administration three oif tbe m'ost important matters in the history of Cambridge were deaNt wi'th, -namely, the establishment of the water works* the erection of a new bridge between Camibrld'ge and Boston, and the g1.Pt and establishment of a free public library. That he dteChanged the diuties of t'he offi'Ce to the general Sat'leifaction of the citizens has been frequently attested. Mr. Russell, though a believer in -license, When the oi'tlzens of Cambridge voted "no license." had the law strictly enforced. He took a very active Interest in the campaign of 1884, stumping Middlesex coointy frtr Cleveland, being at that time president oif the Middlesex county Democratic Club.

Mr. Russell was married -to Miss Margaret Swan, daughter of the late Rev. Joshua S'wati, formerly of Cambridge, on the 3d' day "of June, 1885, which was one of t'he'society events in that year.

In 1888 he was nominated for governor, and,

while

'he -was defeated- by Gov

ernor Ames, he polled nearly 1,000 votes more t'ha-n were cast for Mr. Cleveland for President. It -was in that year that Mr. Russell gave evidence of his great oratorical gifts. He worked- end talked Incessantly, -making the tariff and Mr. Cleveland's record the leading topics of his. speeches. The people of the state began to look upon him with the affectionate admiration and wondering sympathy with wh.ch a dashing -military leader Is regarded* so t'hat when he was nominated in 1889 there was some expectation that he'would be successful. This time his competitor was Governor Brackett', and Mir. Russell at the end of another vigorous campaign, had the satisfaction of seeing the plurality of hjs opponent reduced from 29,000 to 6,775.

In-1890 Mr. Russell carried on his thli'd campaign -mainly on the .tariff 'issue, a-nd was re-elected-agaki in 1891. -Since then he has -net bfcfm active in politics until the recer.it Democratic national convention at Chicago, where he was at the head o-f. the Massachusetts delegation, and was one of Che -most prominent men,: among the sound money advocates..-He ihad frequently been spoken of as a probable candidate for the presidency.

Mr. Rnssclf's Personality.

A recent writer, who visited Mtp. Rus^ sel-1 at his home, while he wds Governor, wrote as follows abouft' htm: "Personal ly Mr. Ruesel] is a very' tractive man. He is not especiaH^ma^netic. but his easy grace of dinvejrsa--tion and entire sympathy with whatever one' is talking about, or wints -to talk about, make him at once -liked. He is a well-built man, of^^out the average height, a 'little inclined to be •spare* and of very active ^Aroyemeitt,^ •H)e is always clean-shave^'

Impressions at Home and Abroad.

"To the Massachusetts man, one who -has followed the course of events for the last ten years or less, nothing seems more curious than t'he maainer In which Governor Russell is re-, garded abroad. Outside of New England he is looked upon as hardly more •than a boy, and, as such, unfitted for any -resposible position. In -the -West and in the (South, where he has become known, people wonder what combination of circumstances made so young a man governor of so great a state as Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, however, where he is well known, and where people have had an opportunity to watch him from a near point of view, th'.6 idea, that he is a very young man is entirely wanting. No one here regards him as a young man in the sense that few years make hdm an. experiment In an official capacity. His acts have been those of a mature man. one of experience and years, "iln his appearance on- the stump Mr. Russell created a favorable Impression, and the directness of his speech and the uncompromising tone of his Democracy make the old Democrats like him. He is a good rflghter, and his gallant aggressiveness has won him many friends. He inspires respect by his -bearing, and his political opponents like him for his very qualities of honesty. While it is true that his administration has been subjected in the Republican press to very sharp criticism, it would be as impossible to get a (Republican paper in -this city to publish a scurrilous article about him as to get it Into a iDemocratic paper. Respect for him personally has extended so far that even ward politicians do not suggest that he Is one of them. Hte serious maturity has almost completely overcome the disgrace of being young, described by Pitt, and he became old enough to be president of the United States On the 6th day of last .January.

Ills Pol tt leal Snrcrss. was during the four tftate oaanfiilgns that Mr. Russell developed his peiso-nality, or, at least, showed \Srir\

the people whb and what ht is. Hte capacity for hkrd work is surprising, and through those campaigns he went vft and down the #tate, n.ght and day, talking everywhere and to every one. Hte speeches^ hurriedly prepared a good many times, were ftilt of Democrat!* doctrine, hfard argumeot and intense loyalty to his state and hM cause. He made friends by the thousands. Mien who thought it sacrilege tt nominate so young a man met hhm, talked w.t-h hdm, and they parted firm friends. He went down tto Gloucester, the greatest Ashing port in the world, and delivered a speech to the -fishenm«TH~har d-he&cted, cakp, yjwjea^onttyg 'dovsrn East Xaakee®* —and when the returns came in from tShat district it .vvas fouhd that the Democratic gain ikd been 'ehormious. "One of -the most singular and ever surprisinig facto, about this man, &he youngest governor but-'one, the $tate ever hod, is this: 'He has ne\rer made a polit&caT mistake. In the state and national campaign oi 1888 he made fiftyfive speeches on the tariff issue. Not to this day has a Republican orator or a Republican newspaper proved the political .falsity of one statement made ih those speeches. "During his first term as governor he made more than 260 executive appointments.' Challenged to a piiblic debate,v Her.try Caibot Lodge, representing the Repuibliicjans, in Music Hall, Boflftton,

The Democratic' speaker who ifoitowed read more thana dozen- letters from Repuiblican pollticfans asking that two of those three appointments be mad'e, and the third was shown to have been beytond) the control of Mr. Russell. "Mr. Russell can not be termed a great lawyer his actual practice at the, bar has been so much interrupted by his politlciad life -that he really has as yet hacl no opportunity to dlspPay great talent. His activity as a polltician, however, has (given him great familiarity with the constitutions, bo'th of-the United fS'.ates and of the New EngBind states, and the laws relating closely thereto, and the corporation busIness of -the firm of Which he is still a, member has made h'im capable of handling questions of state legislation with alertness, intelligence and! rapidity.

News Received at Boston

Boston, July 16.—The first news of •ex-Governor Russell's death was received with almost absolute incredulity 01a the streets of this city. Even members of the law firm with which he was associated refused to look upon the matter seriously when asked If they were able to verify the rumor of -'he ex-governor's death. It was not until after the press wires had been busy, 'for some time that verification cf the sad news was obtained and the«re was oi0 further hope hat the story was unfounded.
