themselves into something definite. and when

tor Jones. OF Arkansas Chairman Of the No
tional Democratic Committee. is expected In
Lincoln within few days after the adjourn
nent of the two st. Louis conventions, and he
will confer with Mr.. Bryan as to the plans or
the latter during the campaign
1t is not likely that Mr. Bryan Will spend much
Of his time In Lincoln after he starts out on
the stump The Democratic managers realize
his value orator. and want him to take
the lions share Of the work for the ticket which
he heads. Hts physical strength Is such that
ne can make several long speeches day with
out fatigue. and he has A record Of delivering
as many as five campaign addresses OF an hour
each at different places in his Congress dls-
tr!ct, and then travelling fifty miles in buggy
to the next place in his itinerary without sleep
Added to his physical endurance Is ability 10
sleep at any time and short rest fits him Tor
many hours of work He does not wish to be
spared during the campaign. and his stump
speaking tour is likely to he a rccord-breaker.
From present indications 1t is probable that

ton in New-York. Mr.. Bryan Will start east
from Lincoln about five days before the day

From, New-York Mr.. Bryan Will go to Bath,
Me where he IL TO be the guest or Mr. Sewall lor
a short time. 1t is probable that ne VIII M man
come addresses on the way. Maine audiences
ora likely TO see something Of him. and ne VIII
then go Westward. The date of his return 10
Lincoln has not been arranged. but II is rumoreu
here that he will appear in the Nebraska capital
On August "a when a reunion Of Grand Army
men OF this state will be held This however.
seems hardly feasible. as 1t VIII give MT BRYAN
onlv fortnight TO visit Mr. Sewa, make num-
bor Of addresses In New-England and return 10
his home in the slow fashion incident to Presi-
DENTAL aspirants during campaign when lnVi-
tatons TO speak at places along the line OF their
Journeys are too pressing TO be refused
1t is expected that Mr.. Bryan Will devote mos. mos
of his time 10 the States between the Alleghenies
and the Rocky Mountains. and he Is not likely TO to,
return to Lincoln for a stay OF any length until
Just before the campaign Is over. Mr; br!an
told n United Press reporter that he had not
made any plans for short trips from Lincoln pre-
vious to his formal notification. He Is devoting
his energies to keeping up with MS mai. anu III
