 Washington, Sept 20.-The Sabbath day was occupied in securing much needed rest by MT. Bryan. He retired at midnight immediately upon his re- turn from Baltimore, and slept until this morning, when he arose much re- freshed. He remained quietly indoors until Il o'clock, when accompanied by his host, he attendend services at the New York Avenue Presbyterian church.
 The announcement of this fact at tracted to the church a number of per- sons not accustomed to worship there, but the edifice was by no means crowd ed. MT. Bryan was not a stranger to the members of New York Avenue church. During his term and while Rev. w. A. Bartlett was pastor MT. Bryan was a frequent attendant upon the services. He usually escorted his father, a tall, striking looking man, with heavy grey locks, who was blind or nearly so. To-day MT. Bryan had a seat in the pew occupied by President Lincoln, who attended the church un- der the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Gurley
 Rev. Dr. Radcliffe, the pastor, had no knowledge of the intended presence of the presidential candidate until he reached the house. There was only the slightest reference in any part of the sermon to the pending political strug gle. In his prayer the preacher asked that in this time of commotion the Lord would be with the people and that the president whom they might select would be one of the Lords choosing, giving the country peace and honor''
 Dr. Radcliffe's text was taken from the story of Solomon's dream: Ask what I shall give you.''
 +. went forward to the pulpit, as had been his custom, and spoke few words to the preacher. Many of the congrega- tion took advance of the opportunity to press forward and pay their respects. As he left the church there was slight cheering.
 In the afternoon MT. Bryan received number of callers, and at o'clock this evening went for drive. The nearest approach to a political confer ence of any kind was the conversation held between the candidate and MT. Butler, who was with him while the ride was in progress. It was not known that the candidate would take a ride at that hour, but the presence of the carriage in front of the house seen be- came noised about, and in short time fully one thousand people had gather ed. He was greeted with cheers on his appearance.
 Among MT. Bryan's callers to-day were James L. Morris, Secretary Ed gerton, Joseph Daniel, Senator Tillman, who has just returned from Pennsyl- vania, and John Salisbury and Gen. eral Kennett of Delaware, who came here to escort MT. Bryan to Dover MT. Bryah's plans for this evening were rather hastily changed in order to per- init him to make the necessary railroad connections to fill his engagement in Dover, Del, tomorrow. Instead of re- maining here until tomorrow morning he left at 10 o'clock tonight for Balti- more, and will leave that city to-mor- q NT Ia parture from Washington was taken without demonstration.
 It was not generally known that he was to leave and only the usual strag- gers and passengers about the station saw him off MT. Bryan and his party took seats in an ordinary day coach. His itinerary for the week has not been completely made up. Tomorrow at o'clock he speaks in Dover and at in the evening at Wilmington.
 Tuesday he will be in Philadelphia, and in crossing New Jersey will make few speeches. Wednesday he is booked to speak in Brooklyn. Through Connecticut and Massachusetts on his way to Mai.le he will also speak. He will spend next Sunday with MT. Sew all at the latter's home at Bath. He will return tc Brooklyn on the night of the 29th to address a monster labor meeting. On the 30th Mir Bryan will again be in Washington for half an hour on his way to Cumberland, Md, and Wheeling, in both of which places he speaks on that day.
 Baltimore, Sept. 20.-William J. Bry- an reached Baltimore from Washing ton at Ii 10 tonight and was taken to the Carrolton hotel, where he retired without delay in order to get some rest before arising at 5 o'clock in the morning to take the 6:10 train for New ark, Del, where he will connect with the train for Dover.
