Chicago, Nov. bryan received the
election returns last night at his home
over a special wire. He remained dur
ing the evening in his private room in
the second story of his house. leaving
the first floor to the newspaper corre-
spondents. He told them that IL he
had any communication to make to
them he would notify them. He spent
the afternoon sleeping and was very
little disturbed by callers.
The newspaper correspondents who
gathered at Mr.. Bryan's house for the
purpose Of receiving the election re-
turns found comfortable Office on the
lower floor of the building. and the
figures were brought to them without
effort on their part; but they might as

Bryan was concerned. He remained in
his room during the entire evening with
the exception of a few minutes, when
he descended the stairs and exchanged
greetings with his journalistic callers,
but he then and afterwards declined
positively, though courteously, to make
any statement for publication. His i'm
mediate friends reported, however, at
midnight that Mr.. Bryan did not con-
slider the cause as definitely lost, but
that on the contrary he considered that
there was still ground for hope of his
success.
He had expected that the first re-
turns, being from the large cities. would

the principal bulletins be sent to his
room, and he read them there, mani
Testing especial interest in the reports
from Nebraska. Mrs. Bryan spent the
early part of the evening with her
guests. She did not lose her customary
cheerfulness in the face of the adverse
reports, and she appeared well pre-
pared for the worst, though evidently
not devoid of hope for better fortune
than the reports appeared to warrant.
She retired about 10 o'clock, leaving
the entertainment of her guests to the
lady friends who had assembled to pass
the night with her. These were: Mr..
Bryan's sister. Mrs. Irene Rogers; Mrs.
Bryan's cousin and Mrs. Schwind. She
remained after that hour with her hus-
hand. In case of the confirmation of

issue an address urging the mainte-
nance of the silver cause as the para
mount issue for the next campaign.
At II o'clock the correspondents
awaiting the results were served with
lunch, and at 1880 the library was
closed and no more bulletins were re-
ceived. Bryan was asleep and no one
was allowed to see him.
