LINCOLN (Neb), Nov IA long
sleep this afternoon and a longer one
tonight is William j. Bryan's way of
preparing for his flying trip through
Nebraska tomorrow. The unprece-
dented campaign of the Democratic
candidate practically ended this morn
ing when he stepped from his private
car furnished by the Democratic Ma
ticnal Committee. He and Mrs Bryan
spent last night in Council Bluffs and
rode over to Omaha this morning on an
electric car to take the $50 train for
Lincoln, to which the 'Idler'' had been
| attached. About 200 people were wait
ing for Mr.. Bryan here. They gave him
suppressed Sunday morning cheer
and many shook hands with him as he
walked smilingly to the carriage in wait
ing. 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 I'M
Ill supper time and retired again early
tonight to secure a good rest for to-
morrow'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 that he would carry the
State was his reason for not making a
tour within it's boundaries earlier in the
campaign 1t was the same with re-
gard to Kansas, but that State and his
own are the only two previously in the
Republican column, with the exception
OF those west of here, where the free
silver sentiment is considered the
strongest, that he has neglected in his
fight for Democratic victory.
| The long and hard working campaien
that Mr.. Bryan has pursued began with
his departure from Chicago on July
18th, the Monday following his nomin-
alton. From that time to this he has
been on the go, barring three weeks
| spent IN Lincoln, prior to his departure
Tor New York City to be formally noti-
lied OF his selection as the Democratic
standard bearer and week in the quiet
surroundings Of Upper Red Hook. His
| hardest day of the campaign was that
during which he made the journey from
Chicago to Pittsburg, en- route to the
nCtlhcation meeting. He left Chicago
half an hour before midnight and made
Speeches almost continuously from that
time until he concluded his last address
I" a Pittsuburg audience twenty-four
| hours later
That record breaking trip was made
during the terrible heated spell of last
summer and left the candidate pretty
well exhausted. The second hardest
day included Southern Illinois, Indiana
ara kentucky Starting from ST. Louis
early IN the morning, he talked to many
gatherings along his route, and was
ohilsed to deliver four more speeches
on MS arrival at Louisville at night.
| IWenty-seven was the number of
| speeches made on his journey from Chi
| cago to Pittsburg, and he came within

! as far south as Memphis Tenn. while
! the Atlantic Coast was covered from
North Carolina to Maine.

Travelled when he returns To Lincoln
