LINCOLN, Neb Nov 2.-Mr and Mrs.
Bryan reached their home in this city at
10 o. clock yesterday after an absence of
several weeks duration. In order to be
able TO spend the day with their children
1t was necessary for Mr. Bryan to depart
from the rule which he has invariably fol.
lowed since his nomination, of not travel
ing on sunday They came from Council
Bluffs, where they spent Saturday night
with friends, on their special train, cover
ing the distance in little over an hour.
There were no stops or demonstrations on
the way, as 1t was not known in advance
whether the home coming would occur
Saturday night or Sunday.
There was quite an assemblage Of per-
sonal friends at the Lincoln station, and
the candidate and his wife were welcomed
by many cordial handshakes Immediately
upon their arrival they were ushered into
a carriage and driven directly to their
own residence. Mr.. Bryan might have
been anything but presidential candi-
date, so quietly was the day spent after
reaching home. There were few callers
bnt they consisted for the most part Of
fellow tOwnsmen, and none of them spent
more than sufficient time TO inquire after
the personal welfare of Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan confessed to all that
he felt need of securing IA good days rest
He accordingly retired early in the after
noon and was still sleeping at o'clock,
Mrs Bryan standing guard at the door to
prevent interruption of any kind.
In the few words that he did speak to
callers Mr.. Bryan asserted his unshaken
confidence in the success of his cause, and
he has never since the beginning of the
campaign appeared more cheerful or more
hopeful than he was today He believes
the people are thoroughly aroused and
will sustain him at the polls, but said that
if pcrchance they should fail to do so he
would by no means consider the cause of
bimetallism lost He thinks that in the
contingency of defeat at this time immed
/ late preparations should be begun for the
campaign of 1900.
The last day of the campaign will be de
voted wholly to Mr. Bryan's own state
and will be a long and busy one. Leaving
/ Lincoln at 80 a. m this morning he goe,
/ W ,stward as far as Grand Island, and from
that point return over another railroad
/ line in time to reach Lincoln at 5:30 max
ing speeches of few minutes duration
at all important points going and coming.
He will stop at Lincoln on his return long
enough to make last address to the peo
pie of his home town, and will then pro
ceed to Omaha, where, between the hours
of and II o'clock tonight he is expected
to make from five to seven speeches.
Immediately after the last speech il
Omaha Mr. Bryan will return again tC
Lincoln, so as to be here to vote tomorrow
Mrs. Bryan will accompany her HUSBAND
through the state, but will not go t,
Omaha with him.
Mr.. Bryan last night sent the following
dispatch to Mr. Jones, chairman of th
National committee, at Chicago: 81 sug
gest that you urge all members of silve
clubs throughout the United States t,
give the entire day, Tuesday, ifpossible t,
our cause. In states where the boltin.
Democrats have been allowed to use tn
party name it will be necessary for ouI
people to warn voters against the decep
ton and at all polling places they will bt
useful to meet the misrepresentation
which may be circulated too late to b
answered by our speakers or through tn
press. The gold syndicate and the trust
are fighting for existence and we mus
be prepared to meet them at every point.
