portant campaign matters were dis
cussed, and it was said the appoint
ment of campaign committee hat
been gone INTO.
Hon. Arthur Sewall when seen this
morning, announced that he would
leave for Maine in day or two, and
said that he was we'll satisfied with the
way matters were shaping themselves
in this campaign. al am convinced, y
said he, s'that the speech made by Mr..
Bryan was a powerful argument IN
favor of our cause, and that it will
bring the ticket many votes"
1t was rumored this morning that
Mr.. Bryan and party will leave New
York at once, and will proceed to Irv-
ington-on the-Hudson, as guests OF
John Brisbane Walker, ct his country
seat there Mr.. Bryan will speak In
Buffalo, N. Y ,on the 9th and at Erie,
Pa, on the 29th. He will then 60 to
Lincoln, Neb., to be formally notified
by the silver party of his nomination by
that party. After that he will go
south and make additional speeches,
and Will come through to the New
England States and spend some time
with Mr.. Sewall at his home at Bath,
Maine.
New YORK, N. Y, August H.
At noon to-day, Mr. Bryan gave an
audience to newspaper men at the house
OF Mr.. St. John. This evening, Mr..
st. John will give out statement.
Mr.. Bryan gave out the following at
the audience granted to newspaper
men, at noon to-day. as to his imme-
diate future movements: He will leave
New York over the New York Central
road. tomorrow morning, for Irving
ton-on-the- Hudson, where he will be
the guest, over Sunday, of John Bris-
ben Walker. On Monday he and Mrs.
Bryan will 60 to Upper Red Hook, N.
r.. where they will be the guests for a
week or ten days of Mr.. and Mrs. E. G.
Perrine. Mrs. Perrine was Mrs. Bry-
ans teacher at the Jacksonville, ILL.,,
female academy.
NEW YORK, N. Y August IA Mr..
Sewall will accompany MIR. and Mrs.
Bryan to Irvington. returning to Maine
from there. while the Bryans proceed
Monday 10 Upper Red Hook. At the
conclusion of the visit with the Perrines
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan start west. Bryan
said he expected to stop several days
on the western Journey, among them,
st Buffalo, Erie and Cleveland. He is
not prepared to give dates, but it is
known he will be in Buffalo on August
9th and at Erie on the 29th. At the
latter place he will address the conven-
tion OF democratic clubs of Pennsylva-
MIA. He will reach Lincoln about Sep
tember 1st. and will probably receive
the notification committee from the
national silver party at that time.
Beyond the information contained
in this statement, Mr.. Bryan had
nothing to say. In reference
to his physical condition, he told
che United Associated press repre-
sentative, that while he felt he had not
reached the eud of his physical strength
ard power, he felt it necessary to have
as much rest and quiet as possible
while engaged in the composition OF
his letter OF acceptance. Mr.. Bryan
will not make any speeches on his trip
to Upper Red Hook. He said his speak
ing program had not been arranged,
but he might speak in NV York again
before the election. Bryan's voice is
stall husky, but he looks we'll and
strong. The decision to proceed west
immediately after the visit to Upper
Red Hook, is understood to mean the
entire abandonment OF his contempla-
ted visit to Mr.. Sewall at Bath. Maine.
Whether Bryan will visit New England
during the campaign, is doubtful.
