The trip which Mr.. Bryan expected to
make TO Omaha today to attend a demon-
stration there in his honor has been post
poned at the request of the Omaha Demo-
cratic managers. They want more tinle to
prepare for the meeting which they eX-
pect him to address. A great deal OF I'M
certainty surrounded Mr.. Bryan's visit to
Omaha and it seems that his friends in
that city were not definitely informed
that he would go there from Lincoln to-
morrow. Last night they wired him to
1o~1S - IL k~.s.>
it has been accordingly decided that the
demonstration in honor of the Democratic
nominee shall take place Tuesday Or
Thursday Of next week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan have accepted an
invitation from Mr.. Arthur Sewa1l the
vice presidential candidate to pay him a
visit at his summer home in Maine. They
will go to Mr.. Sewall's after Mr.. Bryan
has been notified of his nomination in
New York
In conversation with a United Press
representative, Mr.. Bryan said he would
make his personal headquarters and
maintain his residence in Lincoln during
the campaign. It is likely that Mr.. Bry-
an will establish headquarters in the
business part OF Lincoln and conduct all
matters relating to his candidacy there.
His residence is some distance from the
business section and would be inconven-
lent for the many people who will come to
Lincoln, Neb., July 1S--Among an uproar
OF booming cannon, pealing church bells.
screaming steam whistles and the shouts
Of 10000 people, William 7. Bryan, the
Democratic nominee for president entered
this, the capital Of Nebraska. last evening.
1t was an ovation the like OF which the
people of this part of the country never
before witnessed. Half the population Of
the city men, women and children, was at
the depot to welcome him home. It was a
non-partisan reception, for both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans participated in 1t.
The mayor Of the city. the city council
and distinguished citizens of every political
belief, were at the train. AS far as the
eye could reach We're t1ronged streets,
crowded windows. and enthusiastic shout
ers on the roofs Of the houses There We're
bands of music, men carrying banners
with notices complimentary to the Demo-
cratic leader and flags and bunting hung
from the fronts Of the business houses ana
dwellings. Even the neWsboys crying the
evening papers wore Bryan caps, and
thousands blew tin horns or rang cow
bells All this enthusiastic display oc-
Cured in spite of the fact that the sky
was overcast with "a dull, heavy cloud
and a driZzling rain was falling. All day
long excursion trains have been brinng
in people from the surrounding country.
and last night the whole. town was in a
turmoil of enthusiastic delight.
When the reception was over Mr.. Bryan
went to a platform erected at the north
end Of the state house, where he addressed
what is said to have been the largest con-
gregatiou of people ever assembled in
Lincoln: His speech was short, for there
was a most unpleasant drizzlng rain fall
ing. There was no Introductory speech.
Mr.. Bryan was among his own people and
needed none. When he came forward he
was received with thunderous applause.
Mr.. Bryan said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen--I am proud to-
night to say5of those who are assembled
here, These are our neighboEs. Cap
plause and clleers.) I beg to express to
Republicans Democrats, Populists, Prof1l-
$bitionists and all Of all parties the graft
tude which we feel for this magnificent
compliment. I say we because she who
full share Of all the honors that may come
to- me. This scene tonight recalls the
day, nine years ago this month by an;
accident, rather than by design, that I
first set foot in the limits of the city Of
Lincoln. I remember the day, because I
fell in love with the town and then made
the resolve to make it my future home.
T. I see here in the faces of those who.
with hearts as honest as hope my own
heart is, differ from me on all the issues
of the day, but J. am so glad that love
can leap across party lines and abide in
the holy friendship with those whose
judgment go apart. Great applause and
'cheering) thank the mayor of this
great city for the charity which he has
shown today. l thank all those of all
parties who have been willing for the
moment to forget the difference that iex-
lists between us and join in celebrating
the fact that at last the nomination Of
president has crossed the Missouri river.
glad that the Prohibition party came to
our city for it's candidate (appialse,) and
If the great Republican party which for
SO many years has dominated in the coun-
sells Of the nation had selected a Nebraska
man for the head of; that ticket, would
have led you in doing honor to him, re-
CARELESS of what his opinions might have
been. I am glad that the states Of this,
Union, East and West and South will
