Of the Bryan Family..Teiegram to
Chairman Jones,

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. IA long sleep
this afternoon and a longer one to
night was William ]. Bryan's way of
preparing for his flying trip through
Nebraska tomorrow. The unprece-
dented campaign of the candidate
practically ended this morning, when
he stepped from his private car. I'd
ler." furnished by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, in the Burlington
station here. He and Mrs. Bryan spent
last night in Council Bluffs and rode
over to Omaha this morning on an
electric car to take the $50 train for
Lincoln, to which the "Idler" was at
tached. About 200 people We're wait
ing for Mr.. Bryan here. They gate
him IA suppressed Sunday morning
cheer, and many shook hands with him
as he walked smilingly to the carriage
in waiting. There was a joyous scene.
OF course. at the Bryan residence, when
the three children of the candidate
welcomed their father and mother.
Mr.. Bryan was tired, and went to bed
soon after reaching home. He slept
until supper time. and retired again
early tonight to secure q good rest for
to-morrow's journey. His own State
of Nebraska was selected by Mr.. Bryan
for the final rally Of the silver forces.
The confidence he had felt that he
would carry the State was the reason
for not making a tour within it's bouh-
daries earlier i'm the campaign. 1t was
the same with regard to Kansas, but
that State and his own are the only
two previously i'm the Republican
column, with the exception of those
West of here, where the free silver
sentiment is considered the strongest.
that was neglected in his fight for
Democratic victory. The long and hard
working campaign Mr.. Bryan has pur-
sued hogan with his departure from
Chicago on July 13, the Monday follow
ing his nomination. From that time
to this he has been on the go, barring
three weeks spent in Lincoln prior to
his departure for New York City to be
formally notified of his selection as the
Democratic standard bearer and

per Red Hook.
THE ORATORS TRAVELS.
He went as far north as Duluth,
MINI, and as far south as Memphis,
Tenn, while the Atlantic coast was
covered from North Carolina to Maine.
How many miles Mr.. Bryan will have
travelled when he returns to Lincoln
again Tuesday morning, after his Ne
braska roundup, has not been accur-
ately computed, but some ot those who
accompanied him intend to give out the
correct figures by a careful study of
railroad maps and tables of distances.
Seventeen thousand miles Is an ap-
proXimate estimate. The Democratic
candidate visited twenty-seven states
and also made speech in the District
of Columbia.
Mr.. Bryan will leave Lincoln on the
'Idler" by special train at 6.45 o'clock
and is due in Omaha at six in the even
ing.
Mr.. Bryan tonight sent the following
dispatch TO Senator Jones:
Hon. J. X. jones' Chairman Democratic
National Committee, Chicago:
| suggest that you urge all members of
silver clubs throughout the United States
TO give the entire day-Tuesday-if pos
sibe to our cause. In states where the
boiling Democrats have been allowed to
use the party name, it will be necessary
for our people to warn voters of the de-
ception and at all polling places they will
be useful to meet the misrepresentation
which may be circulated too late to be
arrested by our speakers or through the
press. The gold syndicates and trusts
are fighting for existence and We must
be prepared to meet them at every point.
w. ]. Bryan.
