LINCOLN, Neb., Sept 1.-THE silver
clubs of this city, headed by brass
band, escorted William J. Bryan to the
depot this evening, where large crowd
had gathered to say good-by to the NOM
inee Of three parties. Mr.. Bryan started
on his campaigning trip through the
south and east at 9:15 o'clock, taking the
Missouri Pacific train for Kansas City.
Mr.. Bryan, when he reached his car
before leaving Lincoln, was called upon
to make a speech. In response. he said,
in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen: do not know
whether will return to Nebraska again
until just before the election or not, but
I go away from Nebraska feeling that
it is not necessary for me to stay here.
I want to say to you, my friends, that
from the reports which have been re-
ceiving, I do not believe there is single
county in this state that the Republic
ans are sure of carrying this fall. And,
more than that, every day makes our
cause stronger throughout the union
than 1t was the day before. Every day
finds persons who are declaring for free
silver, and I think I am safe in saying
that you will not find among all your
acquaintances any one, who one month
ago was in favor of free silver at 16 to /,
and able to give reason for it, who
has changed his mind. We can show you
men who were in favor of free coinage
q month ago, but who have kept quiet
about it because of some influence. And
you cannot find any men who are for
free coinage who are thinking them
selves into the gold standard idea.
At Eagle crowd of 100 farmers had
gathered about the depot and bonfire
had been built in honor of the passing of
the nominee.
Mr.. Bryan shook hands with them and
found many personal friends among
them.
There will be demonstrations along
the route, among which will be those
at Negraska City and at Union. The
party will arrive in Kansas City to-
morrow morning at 6:15. and Mr.. Bryan
will address the citizens of that city
ats o'clock.
At 9:45 he will continue on his trip to
St. Louis. making short speeches from
the platform Of the car all along the
route. Mrs. Bryan will not accompany
her husband through the south, but is
expected to join the party later.

sociated Press is unfounded. The

ported by two Of the stenographers Of

correspondent taken from the Washing
ton, New York, Albany and Chicago

right, in the employ of the Associated
Press for four weeks, after he had left
the employ of the service, was engaged
by Mr.. Bryan as his private secretary,
but he has not since that time performed
