this evening before Mr Bryan, with the
assistance Of Mrs. Bryan and w. T.

they looked at the big bundle OF mail mat
ter that came from the postoiHce to-day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan attended services
at the First Presbyterian church this
morning and listened to a sermon by a
young minister eulogistic OF the democrat
ic nominee. This is the church in which
Mr.. Bryan teaches a Bible class but he
omitted his duties in that connection to-
day. There was no unusual number Of
people present. After the services were
over Mr.. Bryan shook hands with a num-
Der of the congregation and was then
driven to his home and began work on the
accumulated mail matter.
The makers of Bryan cigars and Bryan
whisky are legion. and each and every
one Of them is anxious for the candidate
to try his wares. 1t may be said in this
connection that Mr.. Bryan neither drinks
spirituous liquors nor smokes tobacco in
any form. Little presents from enter
prising merchants are also being deliver
ed. Mr.. Bryan authorizes the statement
that he does not desire any gifts. and in
order TO discourage the sending of them
he has decided not to acknowledge their
receipt.

children of the candidate, do not seem to
be much impressed with the important po-
sition now occupied by their father, and
conducted themselves to-day just as here

would carry ID street and the Fifth ward
of Lincoln. but as to the general result
she preferred 70 hold her opinion in abey-
ance until after Nov. 3. And this from a
youngster of II years.
1t has been practically decided that the
democratic campaign headquarters shall
be established In Chicago. As previously
stated I'm these dispatches Mr.. Bryan will
have his personal headquarters here. To-
morrow he win occupy the apartments
reserved for his use at the Lincoln hotel,

for President, has in his possession a let
ter in which Bryan declares that he can
not approve Of some of the peoples partys
principles. The letter was written IN re-
ply to a question shortly after Mr. Bryan
delivered his famous free silver speech in
congress, and is as follows:
Washington, y. c., Oct lG. ls93.-E. G..
Wilson. Esq, Topeka Kansas: My Dear
wilson, have not LEFT the democratic
party, but am ready TO do so as soon as ]
am satisfied that 1t, as a party, is welded

the dement's Of the populists. There are
scme things IN their platform, however
which ] do not and Will not favor, but
these pOpulsts at their worsts are not as
dangerous 70 the government as the plu-
tocratic wing OF both Of the old parties.

pected in day or two. possibly to-mor-
row. when a retort to the Pollock argu-
ment which prefaced the British blue
book Is delivered to the commission and
made public simultaneously in this coun-
try and England. Up TO this time the
agents of the Caracas government have
contented themselves with piling up evil
dence before the Venezuelan commission
and pointing out the numerous inconsis-
tencies and false deductions IN the Brit
ish case, but since the distinguished Bos-
ton lawyer. James J. Storrow has become
associated with Counsel Scruggs In Vene-
zuela's behalf the case has been whipped
into legal shape and a brief has been pre-.
pared which Is understood TO handle Lord
Salisbury, Professor Pollock and the 9TH

1t is said that Mr.. storrow has utterly
demolished the vital point OF the British
contention and turned Professor Pol
locks favorite arguments directly against
Lord Salisbury's pretensions.
In his few months connection with this
case its entire conduct has been changed
from one of defense to that OF most Wig
orous aggressiVeness. II Is said that Mr..
Storrow WAS secured as associate counsel
at the suggestion OF Secretary Olney,
whose classmate he was at Harvard law
school
In addition to being the chief legal adj
wiser Of the Bell Telephone Company and
other great corporations Mr. Storrow has
always been a deep student in interna-

includes one of the few complete sets in
