expect to get a week CT two of rest be-
fore the real business of the campaign
begins Both slept late to-day, for the
long journey of yesterday and the ordeal
OF last night had been severe. After
breakfast they sat down at the big desk
III their little library and began an at
tack on the 5000 letters and kilograms
that had been received by the Demo-
cratic candidate since the nomination.
These epistleS were nearly all congratu-
iatory in character. Among them was
the following from Senator Teller:
DENVER (Col), July 10, 1S9G.-Hon
w. j. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.-Dear Sir: I
congratulate you on your nomination at
Chicago. l think the country is to be
congratulated also. | need not assure
ycu that your nomination was more
than satisfactory to me. / think we
shall be able TO consolidate all the
friends of free coinage in your support.
and if We do this 1 believe you will be
Tremendous power that will be arrayed
II.
power of money and organized wealth,
corporations and monopolies of all kinds
will be against US. Justice is on our
side, and this is the cause of the people.
Ii is contest for industrial independ-
erce and for freedom from the domina-
ton of foreign powers and foreign cap
ital, and it does not seem possible that
in such a contest before the American
people that justice should fail and
wrong prevail. l do not believe we shall
fail. | think / can promise you the cor
dial support of the Western silver men
who have heretofore acted with the Re-
publican party, and if you get that I
think all of the Western coast and inter-
mountain States will be with you.
i will not offer any suggestions to
you save to advise you that as you were
nominated without pledges of favor or
privileges to any one, that you maintain
that position and make no pledges or
promises, so that you may go into the
great office of President of the United
States without embarrassment that fol-
lows pledges and promises, even if they
are such as may be properly carried out
1T will afford me pleasure to place
myself at the disposition of the Ma
tional Committee to make speeches in
your behalf as my health will permit,
where and when they may think l will
do good. l am, very respectfully,
III M. TELLER"
Downtown headquarters have been
secured for Mr.. Bryan at the Lincoln
Hotel, and here he will receive visiting
delegations and conduct most of the
business relating to his campaign. The
rooms are on the second floor of the hos
telry, and were selected and leased by
Lincoln supporters of Mr.. Bryan with
out his knowledge. Much of the work of
answering correspondence will be at
tended to, however, at his home on D
street, where he will have the assistance
OF Mrs. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan had a number of callers to-
day, principally old Lincoln friends who
had not had the opportunity of seeing
him last night. His most important Wis
itors We're T. NJ. Patterson, editor of the
Rocky Mountain News" of Denver
and G.. NJ. Hitchcock, editor of the
World Herald" of Omaha, Mr.. Bryan's
own paper. Mr.. Patterson will be one
of the Bryan workers at the Popuist
convention in st. Louis. He is a dele
gate-at-large to that convention from
Colorado, and stopped over in Lincoln
en- route to st. Louis. Mr. Patterson as
sured Mr.. Bryan that he would get so
per cent. of all the votes cast in Colo
RADIO in the Presidential contest. The
Democrats, he said, were a unit for
Bryan, and he would receive a major
ity of~the Populists and a goodly num-
Der of the Republican votes.
Senator Allen of Nebraska, who will
endeavor to secure the Endorsement of
Bryan's candidacy at ST. Louis. is ex-
pected to call on the candidate tonight
or Monday.
