AT BRYAN'S HOME

Lincoln, Neb., July 13.-Dispatches to
the effect that Mr.. Bryan had concluded
to receive the notification committee at
Madison Square garden, New York, set
the Lincoln people wild Added to this
was the quasi endorsement of Omaha
as official headquarters during the cam
palgn, and as n consequence, many
hearts are today bowed down. Unless
some tangible condition is speedily given
to these rumors it is expected the ardor
of many enthusiastic people will be con-
siderably dampened. Local Democrats
say he will certainly remain in Lincoln,
but they do not speak by the card.
Sound money Democrats here are
clam-ike in their silence on political
questions and conditions. One of the
most perplexing questions asked by them
is: How can Bryan, the nominee of
the national Democratic convention, fail
to see that straight Democratic ticket
is placed in the field?' So far this
question remains unanswered by Popu-
lists or Democrats of the 16 to 1 brand.
The Populists of the state held their
county conventions Saturday to select
state delegates. Sentiment was divided
as to the endorsement of Bryan and
fusion

ture and by talks on the stump"
Senator Jones favors Washington for
headquarters, but the question will not
be settled until after consultation with
the committee. The senator says he
does not in the least favor the placing
of an independent gold Democratic
ticket in the field. The only votes it
will get will be those of Democrats who
would otherwise vote for Mckinley.
"There were several :easons for
selecting New York as the place of
notifying Mr.. Bryan of his nomination.
continued the senator, "and they all
bear upon the campaign. We want 10
show the country that this silver move
ment is not sectional. For this reason
we took an eastern man for the second
place on the ticket and we are going tC
begin our campaign in New York. We
want to show New York that we are not
a lot of long-haired fanatics, as we have
been pictured, and, more Than all, We
want to have the searchlight put upon
us and our candidates and our actions
right at the beginning"
But you intend to invade New Eng
land?"
"Most assuredly we do. The ground
there is lying fallow and needs but to be
cultivated. We shall go into Maine and
put up good stiff fight there, and vic
tory is by no means impossible. We
will give the Republicans all they want
in the way of struggle"

Mrs. Bryan has a great liking for pol
itics and accompanies her husband on
many of his Nebraska jaunts. Her
tastes are essentially literary, and she
has written much for various causes.
She is charming woman, and is great
favorite in Lincoln, as well as her hus-
band. She was one of the organizers
of the leading woman's club of Lincoln
and is also a member of the w. c. A.
and other societies.
Mr.. Bryan says she is invaluable to
him in suggestions and the preparation of
material and in advice as to points and
methods
The children are very bright.
1t is not only for Mr.. Bryan's great
gifts as speaker that he is esteemed so
highly by the people of his home. No
faint has ever attached to his public or
private actions. He neither smokes,
chews, swears or drinks, and his Ian
guage is pure.
Mr. Bryans friends figure that he
should be an influential factor with the
Populists since it was much through
his influence that the Nebraska state
| convention two years ago endorsed Silas
A. Holcolmbe, the Populist candidate for
governor and by virtue of the fusion de-
feated Thomas Majors, the candidate
leading the Republican forces.
| He is the picture of health, mental,
moral and physical. He stands about
feet 10 inches; weighs about ITO; is a
pronounced brunette, has massive head,
n clean shaver face, an acquiline nose,
large under jaw, square chin, broad
chest, large, lustrous dark eyes, and a
rather large mouth. Beneath his eyes
is the protuberent flesh which physiog-
nomists say indicates fuency of speech.
He is happy in attitude and pose.
Mellifuous is one word that most aptly
describes his voice. 1t is strong enough
to be heard by thousands 1t is so MOD
ulated as not to veX the ear with monoto-
ny, and can be stern and pathetic, fierce
or gentle, serious or humorous with the
varying emotions of its master. In draw

Randall and Bryan, the latter is thus
described:
In four years service Bryan establish
ed far greater reputation than did Ran
dali in the same length of time. Indeed
it may be said without any extravaganza
that when Bryan quit congress he had as
far spread of fame as Randall did when
he died after twenty years of congress
Bryan is collegiate scholar, and has
slowed away in his capacious Uranium
much of the golden grains Of wisdom and
little of the husks, and it is all there fol
use, either as an argument or embellish
ment. Some men are so ugly or ungainly
that it is a positive disadvantage to then
as public speakers. Some are so hand
some and graceful that they are on gOot
terms with the audience before they Oper
their lips OF the latter class Bryan il
a shining example. His appearance il
a passport to the affections of his fellow
men.

BLAND'S PURPOSE.
His Only Ambition Now is to Get Back
to Congress.

to Congress.
Lebanon, No., July 13.-In their dis
appointment over the defeat of Bland for
the presidential nomination many Mis-
souri, Democrats have turned to Mr.
Bland to lead the party in Missouri this
fall as the candidate for governor. He
has received many kilograms and letters
in the past few days urging him to be-
come candidate. These earnest requests
and solicitations have not moved him and
will not change his course. He made up
his mind several years ago that he did not
want to be governor, preferring to con-
tinue his fight in congress. He said last
night he would not be a candidate; he did
not want the nomination and under no
circumstances would he enter a guberna-
tOrial race. He made this statement in
the most positive and emphatic manner,
leaving no doubt of its meaning.
In this connection, Mr.. Bland said he
was candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for congress in this, his old dis
trict. He desires to go back to congress
to make the fight for free silver in the
house.

on the tariff except that the country does
not want return to McKinleyism.
