BRYAN WILL QUIT.
Will Resign His Commission and
Enter the Campaign.

Kansas City, Mo. Sept. ga special
to the Star from. Jacksonville, Fla,
says:
Colonel William Jennings Bryan, of
the Third Nebraska volunteers, will
shortly resign his commission in the
United States army and resume the
discussion of public questions. This
statement is not made upon the au-
thOrity of Colonel Bryan, however.
When asked to express himself on ques-
lions of public interest, he said:
You can say that I refuse to discuss
any matters connected with politics, the
army or myself, except that I see no
reason to change the views in regard
to expanding the territory of the United
States 1 expressed in my Omaha
speech made before entering upon this
army life"
This is all Colonel Bryan would say
except to add: You might also say
that am not so enamored of camp life
that I would at the close of the war
apply for a commission in the regular
army
The Third Nebraska is slated for
Cuba and unless Col Bryan resigns will,
within few weeks, go south. While
he will not say what he is going to do
or when, there is no questioning that
Colonel Bryan is going to do something
and do it soon. That he has determined
upon a course which will require some
action in the near future means that
he is going to resign his commission,
issue statement as to why he does this
and then enter fully into the discussion
of public questions on lines somewhat
more extended than in the past.
