RESERVING HIS OPINION.
Mr.. Bryan Refuses to Be Inter.
viewed For Publication
Indiscriminately.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 19.-William Jen-
nings Bryan says that he has ceased
giving interviews to newspapers pro-
miscuously or individually. He Is not
writing for pay. This policy he says he
adopted at the close of the campaign
and he intends to continue 1t till some
matter of great and immediate portent
to the nation or to the policy of its
present managers renders his opinion
necessary or advisable. When seen to-
day Mr. Bryan was jolly and talkative
till approached on some question of
public interest, when he Immediately
became silent.
1T is like the case of any newspaper
editor" said Mr.. Bryan. HE writes
what he thinks. but he will not write
1t without the money. / am not writing
for the money, but I will not write
without it. If were to discuss sub
jects of Importance / should wish to do
so only after consideration and
study and I should, wish to prepare a
careful statement at my leisure. If 1
should be willing to give interviews on
all these questions the newspapers
would keep me busy practically all the
time, and should find when 1 came to
write for myself that 1 had printed
much of 1t before"
Mr.. Bryan said that his second reason
for declining to discuss in the news
papers such subjects as the reduction of
federal representation in certain of the
southern states proposed by the Repub-
licans was that he never believed in
discussing a thing until it was existent
or imminent and that no action had
been taken in that matter as yet. "It
is a nuisance" he said, "to be continue
ally discussing matters which never
come to pass"
