Mr.. Bryan here. They gave him a
suppressed Sunday morning cheer, and
MAN. shook hands with him as he
walked. snilingly. to the carriage in
waiting.
A JOYOUS SCENE.
There was a joyous scene, of course,
at the Bryan residence, when the three
children of the candidate welcomed
their father and mother.
Mr.. Bryan was tired and went to
bed soon after reaching home. He
slept until supper time, and retired
again early tonight to secure a good
rest for tOmorrOw's journey.
His own state of Nebraska was Sc
lected by Mr.. Bryan for the final rally
of the free silver forces. The confidence
he has felt THAI he would carry the
state was his reason for not making
tour within its boundaries earlier in
the campaign. 1t wdS the same with
regard to Kansas, but that state and
his own are the only two previously in
the Republican column, with the ex-
ceD.ion of those west of here, wher
the free silver sentiment is considereF
the strongest, that he has neglected IL
his fight for Democratic victory.
The long and hardworking campaig
that Mr.. Bryan has pursued began wit
his departure from Chicago on July 1 !,
the Monday following his nomination.
From that time to this he has been
on the go, barring three weeks spent in
Lincoln prior 10 his departure for Ne Y
York City to be formally notified of n s
selection as the Democratic standar l.
bearer, and a week in the quiet sur
rOundings of Upper Red Hook.
HIS HARDEST DAY.
His hardest day of the campaign wal
that during which he made the journey
from Chicago to Pittsburg en- route TO
the notification meeting. He left Chi
cago half an hour before midnight, and
made speeches almost continuously
from that time until ne concluded his
last address; to a. Pittsburg audience "a
hours later. That record-b breaking trip
was made during the terrible heated
spell Of last summer and left the candi-
date pretty we'll exhausted The sec
ond hardest day included southern Hi
noiS, Indiana and Kentucky. Starting
from St Louis early in the morning,
he talked to many gatherings along his
route and was obliged to deliver four
more speeches on his arrival at Louis
vile at night. Twenty-seven was the
number of speeches made ON his jour-
ney from Chicago to Pittsburg, and ne
came within one of equalling that re-
markaible record one day in Michigan
last month He went as far north as
Duluth, Mimi, and as far south as
Memphis. Tenn, while the Atlantic
coast was covered from North Caro-
lima to Maine.
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND MILES.
How many miles Mr.. Bryan will have
Travelled wnen he returns to Lincoln
again Tuesday morning after his Ne
braska roundup has not been accur-
ately computed, but some of those who
accompanied him pretend to give out
the correct figure by d careful study of
the railroad maps and tables of dis
lance. Seventeen thousand miles is an
approximate estimate The Demo-
cratic candidate visited q states,
namely:
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas passing through in
the night from Lincoln to Kansas City,
Kentucky, Maine. Maryland. Massa-
chusetts Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,. Nebraska. New Hampshire. New
Jersey, North Carolina. North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia,
West Virginia, Wisconsin.
OTHER SPEAKERS.
He also made a speech in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
James 7. Dahlman, of Omaha. chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee, will have charge of the
Nebraska, campaign tomorrow. James
O'Shea, of the state committee. and a.
number of campaign orators, including
several former Republicans, will ac-
company Mr.. Bryan to make speeches

main at prominent places to follow up
the arguments advanced by the ma
tional candidate. The trip viii take
MIR. Bryan into four of the six con-
gressional districts in the state
Speeches are scheduled for sixteen
places, but it is probable more stops
will be made. Mr.. Bryan will leave
Lincoln on the Idler by special train
