BRYAN's LECTURE.
sale of seats Commences Tomorrow
His Withdrawal.

The attention of Mr.. George Ellis. one of
the gentlemen having charge of the W. j.
Bryan lecture in Houston, was called to
the Associated Press dispatch that appeared
in yesterdays Post in effect that Mr.. Bry-
an contemplated retiring from the lecture
field.
Il don't think such is the case" said
Mr. Ellis. IN Mr.. Bryan contemplated
such :. step it is reasonable to suppose that
Ills first int.mation would be made to the
lecture bureau with which he is under con
tract TO deliver series of fifty lectures
Ihis bureau is aware that we are ac-
NVeiy engaged in arranging FOR the lIous-
ton lecture on January 20 and that we
have already gone TO some EXPENSE in this
direction. and as thcy are to bear This ex
pease IN the event OF a default on their part
TO furnish us the lecture il is natural to
suppose that, even had they any jntima
lion OF this sort. they would advise us to
suspend active work till the uncertainty
WAS removed.
Not having received any such advice
naturally conclude that Mr. Bryap's con
templsted revocation OF the contract is
purely a rumor"
ne sale OF seats for the Houston lecture
VIII commence tomorrow morning at o
CLOCK at Grunewald's, from which time
the diagram will be accessible daily until
the day OF the lecture.
