Resume of His Travel Through the
Country.

| Lincoln, Nov, 1.-Mr. Bryan's unpre-
cedented campaign practically ended
this morning when he stepped from his
! private car in the Burlington station
here. He and Mrs. Bryan spent last
night in Council Bluffs and rode over
| to Omaha this morning on an electric
car to take the $3.50 train for Lincoln,
to which the Idler was attached. About
| two hundred people were waiting for
Mr.. Bryan here. They gave him a sup
pressed Sunday morning cheer and
many shook hands with him as he
walked smilingly to the carriage in
waiting. There was a joyous scene 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 good rest for
to-morrow's journey through this state.
His own state of Nebraska was select
ed 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
tour within it's boundaries earlier in
the campaign. Tt was the same with
regard to Kansas, but that state and
his own are the only two previously in
the republican column, with the excep-
| ton of those west of here, where the
free silver sentiment is considered the
strongest, that he has neglected in his
| fight for democratic victory.
| o. md h vi yxynrlxipor cqInn9jOn
| that Mr.. Bryan has pursued began with
his departure from Chicago on July 13,
| the Monday following his nomination.
From that time to this he has been on
! the go, barring three weeks spent in
Lincoln prior to his departure for New
| York city to be formally notified of his
selection as the democratic standard
bearer. His hardest day was that dur
| ing which he made the journey from
| Chicago to Pittsburg. He left Chicago
| half an hour before midnight and made
speeches almost continuously from that
time until he concluded his last address
| to a Pittsburg audience, twenty-four
hours later
| That trip was during the terrible
heated spell of last summer and left the
candidate pretty we'll exhausted The
| second hardest day included southern
| Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. Start
ing from St. Louis early in the morn
| ing, he talked to many gatherings and
was obliged to deliver four more
speeches on his arrival at Louisville at
night Twenty-seven was the number
| of speeches made on his journey from
Chicago to Pittsburg, and he came
within one of equalling that remarka-
| BILE record one day in Michigan last
month He went as far north as Du-
/ luth, Mimi, and as far south as Mem
| phis, Tenn, while the Atlantic coast
was covered from North Carolina to
| Maine
How many miles MFR. B Byan will have
travelled when he returns to Lincoln
again Tuesday morning after his round
up has not been accurately computed,
| but some of those who accompanied
him intend to delve out the correct
| figures by a. careful study Of railroad
maps and tables of distances. Seven
| teen thousand miles is an approximate
estimate. The democratic candidate
visited twenty-seven states, namely:
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas, passing through
in the night from Lincoln to Kansas
City; Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New York, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota, Rhode Island, Tennessee Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
He also made speech in the District
of Columbia.
Chairman Dahlman of the democratic
state committee will have charge of
the Nebraska campaign tomorrow.
James O'Shea of the state committee,
and number of campaign orators, in
cluding several former republicans,
will accompany Mr.. Bryan to make
speeches along the route. Mr.. Bryan
will leave Lincoln on the "Idler'' by a
special train at 6:45 a. m. Mrs. Bryan
will accompany her husband. The
journey will be over the Burlington
road.
Mr.. Bryan sent the following dis
patch tonight to Chairman Jones at
Chicago:
II suggest that you urge all MEM
bers of silver clubs throughout the
United States to give the entire day
Tuesday, If possible, to our cause. In
states where the bolting democrats
have been allowed to use the party
name it will be necessary for our peo-
pie to warn voters of the deception
and at all polling places they will be
useful to meet the Misrepresentation
which may be circulated too late to be
arrested by our speakers or through
the press. The gold syndicates and the
trusts are fighting for existence and
we must be prepared to meet them at
every point"
