LINCOLN, Neb., July 18.-Mr.
aud Mrs. Bryan have settled
down into the quiet of their home
life again, after the excitement Of
the past ten days, and expect tot
gat a week Or two of rest before
the real business of the cam
paign begins. Both slept late
to day, for the long journey of
yesterday and the ordeal of last
night had been very severe AIS
ter breakfast they sat down at
their big desk in their little lis
brary and began an attack on
the 5, 900 letters and kilograms
that had been received by the
Democratic candidates since his
nomination. Those epistles were
nearly all congratulatory in char
acter. Among them was the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Tel
Ter.
Denver, Colo, July 15.-Hon.
W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.-
Dear Sir: I congratulate you on
your no nination at Chicago. I
think the country is TO be con-
graduated also. I need not as
sure you that your nomination
was more than satisfactory to
me. [ think we shall be able to
consolidate all the friends of free
coinage in your support, and if
we do this I believe you will be
elected, although I do not overs
look the tremendous power that
will he arrayed against US in this
campaign. All the power of
money and organized wealth,
corporations and monopolies of
all kinds will be against US. Jus
| tice is on our side and this is the
cause of the people. It is a con-
test for industrial independence
aud for freedom from the domi-
nation of foreign powers and for
eign capital, and it does not seem
possible that in such contest
before the American people that
justice should fail and wrong
prevail. I do not believe we shall
fail I think I can promise you
the cordial support of the East
ern masses who have heretofore
acted with the Republican party.
and if you get that I think that
all of the Western, the coast and
| the er-mouLtain States will be
with you.
will not offer any Suggestions
to you, save to advise you that as
you were nominated without
pledges of favor or privilege to
any one, that you main tain that
position and make no pledges or
promises. SO that you may go in
to the great Office of President
Of the United States without the
EN- barrassment that follows
pledges aud promises. even if
they are such as may properly
be carried out.
It will afford me much pleas :
ure to place myself at the dispo>
siJion Of the National Committee
to make such speeches in your
behalf as may think it will do
| good
