WAS CONGRATULATED BY BLAND
Bryan Resting Quietly After All the
Political Turmoil.

Chicago. July 1.-THE Clifton house,
where Bryan stops, was, compared with
last night. very quiet today. The absence
of the politicians at the convention hall
and the departure of many of them
from the city had much to do with al
fording this immunity from disturbance,
which was a reueI 10 everyone about the
house, if not to its distinguished guest.
The latter was. however. given little res
pite from morning until late at night,
for there was Il constant stream of Wis
tors who would not accept no for an an
swer to their demands for an interview.
Many of those who called were person
al friends. and a majority of them re-
tired after merely extending their feltc-
itations upon the nomination.
Notwithstanding, he did not retire until
a. m. this morning, and was the center
of a whirling throng from the time the
nomination was announced until he turn
ed the key in his bedroom door finally
for the night He was up at O'Clock
this morning. He spent the day with
Mrs. Bryan in their room, devoung al
most all their entire time to receiving
callers, among whom were many party
leaders. who called to pay their respects
and tender their allegiance. Bryan plain
ly showed the effect today of the strain
which the events of the past week have
imposed upon him. He confessed to feel
ing faugued, and his countenance con-
frmed the statement. He was, however,
yivacious enough in conversation and he
discussed all questions brought up with
his wonted vigor.
Bryan declined TO add anything 10 what
he had given out yesterday for publ
cation beyond asking that a statement
be made that he was not responsible for
an article published in New York yes
terday. concerning which he said: 4
neither wrote signed nor saw the article
before it was printed"
kilograms of cOngratulation continued
to arrive during the day. Among the
messages was the following from Hon.

parture for Salem, His, until Monday.
He will remain in Chicago over tomorrow
