through from his eastern trip today.
He is looking well and seems to have
enjoyed his campaign among the gold

the carly Part of October i'll response
to urgent kilograms from the Demo
critic National Committee to lid i'll
the campaign in the doubtful
States.
His first speech was made at the
meeting OF the Silver clubs ut ST.
Louis at which Vicc-Prcsident Stew
enson presided. Bryan addressed
the clubs the same day. He had pre-
~viously spoken sixteen times that day
and followed his long speech to $1,000
people by speaking twice at open. air
meetings. Mr.. NcwIands cav Mr..
Bryan about - o'clock tina, night and
chatted quite a while with him. He
seemed rs frefE rs Il boy. Mr.. New
lands then went. to Mar. land and
commenced the Campaign. lie spoke
several times i'll Maryland and wis ELI
Enthusiastically received. After stump.
ing Maryland he proceeded slowly
through Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
Minnesota. At Detroit. he met Mr..
Bryan again and addressed the same
audiences that night. They spoke to
about 5000 people at the auditorium
and twice at open air meetings to l5,.
coo. From Michigan lie went to Min
nesota to aid Hon. Chas. \. Towne,
who made so brilliant IL silver speech
at the last sess ON OF Congress. MIR.
Towne has always been Il Republican.
but bolted the ST. Louis convention
with Teller. \ most determined ef-
fort is being made by the gold men
to defeat both Townc and S;blcy.
Mr.. Newlnnd's work WIS i'll strong
Republican localities and his speeches
presented the protective aspects of
the silver question. Mr.. Newlands is
confident that Town will be elected.
He also reports Michigan, Indiana.
and Minnesota Is sure for Bryan and
Is confident that these States. though
the other States OF the Middle west
go against him. will insure Bryun's
election.
Asked Is tn the situation III Mary
land, Illinois and Ohio, he replied
that Senator German had assured
him in Chicago Il few days z that
Maryland was absolutely safe for
Bryan, and that ne had no doubt Of
it. The result i'll Illinois depended
to d large extent upon the labor vote
i'll Chicago. The prospects there
were that Bryan would carry the
State. Ohio he SAID was extremely
doubtful.
Mr.. Ncwlnnds said the people
wherever he Ind been were intensely
i'll earnest. They would sit quietly
and listen to speeches for two and
three hours at a time and if he spoke
of closing in IN hour and II half the
audience would object and he was
Compelled to 20 on. He spoke Of
this to show the intense carncstncss
of the people where he had been.

turning him to Congress with an
