He came to this convention, although not

vorite. He didn't work it badly. He got
the help of a few influential leaders and
went ahead. Strangely enough in the po-
litical gossip not one mention was made
of Mr.. Sewall as a probability. An I'M

BRYAN'S WELCOME HOME
VIII Be Non-Partisan end Will Be
Great Event

Lincoln. Neb.. July I2.-There was
feeling of keen disappointment among LIN
coin people when news was read this morn
ing OF the action OF the democratic national
committee in determining To have the two
candidates of the party formally notified
OF their nominations at New York city in
stead of at their respective homes.
This determination Will not, however,
have any effect on the demonstration at the
reception of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. 1t was
agreed to make the reception entirely a
non-partisan affair. Excursions will he run
to the city from every point in the state
and delegations VIII be present from Col
orado, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan was re-
ferred to by the pastors of the different
churches today-notably the First Presby-
terrain. of which the nominee is a member.
All reference TO him was of a congratu-
latory nature. The Nebraska delegation
arrived here from the convention at 5
o'clock. They were met at the depot by a
large crowd and marched to headqua rteTs
