Proceedings.

LINCOLN. Sept. 20.-(Special.)-It has
been reported that the employees of the
new Insurance department have contributed
toward the expense Of contesting the quo
warranto proceedings instituted in the SUI
preme court by Auditor Cornell. Deputy
Commissioner Bryant will appear in behalf
Of Governor Poynter in the case and will
probably be the only counsel. AS to the
charges Mr.. Bryant today said:
THE statement that employees in the new
insurance department have been asked to
contribute to the expense Of defending the
Weaver law is positively untrue. The state
should not put under necessity any
man for defending a law out of
his W private means. believe
that a man should hold Office be-
cause of his fitness and not for imaginary
political services or for conducting the
states litigation out of his private purse.
However, l will do all that l can as a law
yer to maintain the law"
A few days ago a representative OF a
proposed insurance company called upon
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant
and asked him to inspect their articles oil

the perpetual existence OF the corporation.
After a personal conference with the gov
ernor and with Attorney General Smyth
MIR. Bryant came to the conclusion that he
could not license the company to do bust.

BLAIR, Neb., Sept. 20.-(Special Tele-
gram).-W. J. Bryan arrived in the city to-
night from the north and was met at the
depot by about 300 people. Republicans were
there as we'll as fusionists, but the bulk OF
the crowd was made up OF women. After
supper Mr.. Bryan was escorted to the opera
house and before entering made a short ad-
dress to about 400 who were waiting on the
outside, not being able to get into the hall.
After closing his remarks to the outsiders
he proceeded to the stage in front of the
assemblage, largely women, numbering in
all about 800. Here he began his regulation
TRADE on the income tax, the election Of
United States senators by direct vote OF the
people, free silver, trusts, size OF the stand
ing army and Imperialism.
1t was the same old story that has been
hammered at by every street corner orator,
and Bryan added nothing to 1t, for In no
case did he explain a remedy. He did per-
sist hat we had no business to get into the
Philippines, but now that We are in we
should get out like Americans. No explana-
ton was given as to what he meant by this.
There was no enthusiasm to speak OF; a
little cheering sprung up occasionally, but
died in It's infancy. There were as many
| republicans in the audience as fusionists,
but the large part of the audience was COM
posed of women. 1t was predicted that 49,
900 people would greet Bryan here, but not
to exceed 1900 showed up. The day has
been a disappointment all around and the
only good done has been that the curiosity
OF some people to see Bryan has been salts
fled.
OAKLAND, Neb., Sept. 20.--(Special. Wv.
]. Bryan spoke here this afternoon to about
800, mostly republicans. His applause came
mostly from republicans. He touched upon

silver, pointed out the alleged faulty legisla-
ton Of the republican party, but offered no
solution. AS usual. his self-heralded work
on the Income tax while in congress wa
dwelt upon. Those in attendance were
mostly farmers, who had never heard Bryan
and came partly out of curiosity. Much
regret and disappointment was expressed at
the logic of the speaker. Little interest was
taken in what Bryan said. He advised
everybody to vote for Holcomb SO that the
supreme court would decide against the
majority.
LYONS, Neb., Sept. 2O.-(Special.)-W. j.
Bryan passed through here at 10 o'clock this
morning en- route from Pender to Oakland,
where he spoke this afternoon. Few were al
the depot to welcome him upon his arrival
When he appeared upon the platform the
event was without any demonstration and
Bryan was at loss to account for it. Very
few even went forward to shake his hand
This was Bryan's first trip through Burt
county.
