CHICAGO, Ill, July 13.-W. ]. Bryan,
accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, left the scene
OF his triumphant nomination this after
noon at 800 o'clock over the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad for his boyhood home in
Salem, III. The time and place of his de-
parture were not sufficiently known to
draw crowd TO the depot, and his de-
parture was accordingly unattended by
any demonstration. A few dozen friends
babe him good-by. Salem is in Marion
County, which was the only county in Hi
nois to pass a resolution favoring the NOM
ination of the Nebraskan at its convention
on May 25 to select delegates to the State
convention held at Peoria.
The departure of Arthur SewaH for his
home in Bath, Maine. was more demon
strative. Mr.. SewalI has been the guest of
Erskine NJ. Phelps, ex-National Commit
teeman for Illinois, during his stay in the
convention city, at Mr.. Phelps home,
1913 Indiana avenue, and after Mr.. Se-
wallis meeting with Mr.. Bryan and the
subcommittee of the notification commit
tee in the Clifton House the man from
Maine was entertained at the Chicago
Club by Mr.. Phelps. The rest of the after
noon until train time was spent quietly
with friends, and at $50 o'clock Mr.. Sc
wall was driven to the Van Buren-street
depot of the Lake Shore road, where he
took the regular train on that road for
Boston en- route to his home. a crowd OF
$500 people had gathered at the station to
see him off and Justify cheered him when
he appeared on the platform. He held a
hand-shaking reception, but made no
speech.
Charles A. Walsh of Ottumwa, Iowa,
secretary of the State Central Committee
Of Iowa and the manager of the Boies
convention campaign, viii be the perma-
nent secretary of the Democratic National
Committee if his probationary term as
temporary secretary proves satisfactory
to the com mittee. By authority given to
him in a resolution adopted Saturday
night by the full National Committee,
Chairman Jones this afternoon appointed
Mr.. Walsh temporary secretary of the
committee. and the general understanding
to-day is that he will be retained in that
position. Mr.. Walsh had conference
this morning with Senator Jones with
reference to his appointment, and after
ward the Iowan called on ex-Secretary
Sheerin of the National Committee at the
Palmer House headquarters to get infor-
nation as to the details of his new posi-
ton, which Mr.. Sheerin gladly afforded
his young successor.
The committeeman remaining IN town
are delighted over the selection of their
colleague. Captain S. B. Evens, chairman
of the Boies campaign committee, who is
associated with Mr.. Walsh in the publica-
ton tof the Ottumwa Sun, and who was
chairman of the Iowa League of the
National Democratic Bimetallic Com
mittee, said tonight to a reporter for
the United Press just prior to
his departure for home: 1--WE are mighty
glad of Mr.. Walsh's appointment. We
deserve it as State and he deserves it as
a man. He was born in Van Buren,
County, Iowa, thirty years ago. and is a
lawyer in Ottumwa, besides being part
owner of the Sun with me. Mr. Walsh is
sometimes called The Bishop because OF
his clerical appearance. He is very dis
Greet, man of system and detail and will
faithfully carry out the plans of the COM
mittee in all its details. In my capacity
as chairman of the Iowa bimetailic COM
mittee, Mr.. Welsh rendered great as
.sistance in organizing tia league and the
Democratic party outsice the lines of the
Democratic committee. His wife is with
him here and they expect 70 return home
tonight"
