Mr. Blickensderfer, of the Union Pacific, and the Bee representative ‘were also on board as the carleft the depot 8t 9:25 o'clock. The run to the Northwestern depot in the Bluffs was made in a short time, and there the Omaha delegation alighted. The car was then run back to this city. At the depot of the Chicago & Northwest- ern, probably 8,000 people had assembled. They were of all ages and every condition of society, and kept up an animated conversa- tion, and a high feeling of expectation, espec- fally as it was announced that the presidential train was twenty min- utes behind time, The news wus brought to the Omaha delegation that the delay had been experienced at Missouri Val- fey, and from that point to the Bluffs the time would be made up. The promise was { realized cand at exactly 10:25 the train was seen rounding the curve a couple of miles up the track. The fecling of excite- ment became intense. Policemen pushed back the crowd from the tracks, and at length a splendid view was afforded the Omaha delegation of the approaching train The speed was reduced, and when the cugine reached the edge of the thronging con course, the approach was not more rapid than that of a leisurely walk. In this man- uer, all danger of accident was precluded, The engine 109, of the Chicago & North western road rolled past lower broadway. She was guided by James G. Blaine, one of the oldest engineers of the raad. Following came the Pullman car Alfatra, then the Velasco, and finally a roll- ing palace marked P. P, C.
