BRYAN IS BACK
At HOME AGAIN
VIII Make Flying Trip In
Nebraska Today.
GLAD RUBBER TRUST
MAN OPPOSES HIM
SAYS That Shows What the PeO-
pie Should Do.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 4.-Colonel ". ].
Bryan and Mrs. Bryan arrived at their
home this evening from Chicago. To-
morrow morning Colonel Bryan will
start on a flying trip through Ne
braska, devoting the last day of the
campaign to his own state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan found a large
number of their friends at the depot
to greet them. Many of. them escorted
them to their residence. The trip
from Chicago was comparatively quiet.
Mr. Bryan slept during the entire fore
noon. and did not make his appear
ance until after II o'clock. He had
just arisen when the train reached
Creston. Ia. Several hundred persons
had cOngregated at the depot, and
there were calls for a speech. Mr..
Bryan said he never made speeches on
Sunday. but he shook hands with most
of those present before the train start
ed. There were similar crowds at Red
Oak and Pacific Junction. and when,
late in the afternoon, the train landed
Ehe candidate IN his own state, at the
iowa OF PlattsmOuth, there was a still
stronger demonstration. The crowd
was large and there were many calls
for Mr.. Bryan. He declined to speak,
and the train did not remain at a
standstiI long enough to afford oppor-
sons Mr.. Bryan was met at Omaha
10y a number OF his personal friends.
Fight Is Already Won
During the day Mr. Bryan was ask
ed for a statement as to the probable
outcome Of the election. In reply, he
said:
'''The fight has been made and won.
Money and coercion robbed US Of vic
tory in 1896, but / believe they viii be
powerless to change the result this
time. The people are in earnest and
few can be bought. Our organization
is much better than it was in 1896, and
even where intimidation has been at
tempted it has angeTed the employees
rather than cOerced them."
Mr.. Bryan's attention was called to
the address of Charles r. Flint and
others who claim to be Democrats, but
urge Democrats to vote the Repubh-
can ticket. Mr.. Bryan said he was
glad to find that Mr.. Flint was sup
porting Mckinley, and added:
Nj Flint is the leading member Of
the Rubber Goods Manufacturing COM
pany, and is also connected with the
starch trust. He has been the most
conspicuous defender of the trust prin-
ciples in the United States, having
made a speech at Boston in May, 1899,
and another at Chicago recently on
that subject. / am glad to have all
trust magHates support the RepubH-
viii not be visiting the White House
and asking favOrs in return for cam
paiEn support. our appeal is to the
people who suffer from the trusts, not
TO the mOnopOlies who profit by them.
Next to imperialism and militarism,
the trust question has done more than
any other question to convince the
plain people that the Republican party
is entirely given over to the control of
the organized wealth. Imperialism ex-
plOits abroad while private monopoly
. plumbers at home, and the large army
advocated by the Republican party is
intended to support the system Of
spoilation at home and abroad.
Has Made coo Speeches.
When Mr.. Bryan reached Lincoln to-
night he had been absent from home
for about I'VE and a half weeks. Dur
ing that time he has Travelled about
5000 miles and has made about 500
speeches. Previous to entering upon
this tour and since the campaign had
begun, he had made at least 100
speeches and had Travelled about 1000
miles. making about $4,000 miles tTav-
eled and over 600 speeches delivered by
him during his campaign.
IL point Of time, New York and Illi-
nois have received more attention from
the Democratic candidate than any
other two states.
The campaign has been confined ex-
ciusiveIy to the country east of Lin
coin and north Of the Mason and Dixon
line.
OF the territory covered, Iowa is the
only state in which no speeches have
been made. Air. Bryan has gone all
around the state and has crossed it six
or seven times during the campaign,
but he has not done more in the way
OF campaigning than to shake hands
with the people at the railroad stations.
Pennsylvania also received compare
lively little attention.
The crowds have increased steadily
in numbers from the beginning of the
campaign, and III many parts of the
country strong enthusiasm has been
manifested. Upon the whole, there
was apparently more interest in the
cities than in rural districts In New
Jersey. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois there
were especially big crowds, and at
most points in those states the interest
was intense. This may also be said of
the cities in the state of New York.
Speaks Especially of Trusts.
While always nominalIy giving the
place of paramount Importance in the
campaign to the subject of Imperialism.
Mr.. Bryan has devoted more time to
trusts than to any other subjects. He
has promised, e elected. all the power
of the executive should be employed
for the destruction OF the trusts, that
the army should be reduced TO 25.O9O
soldiers. and that the Filipinos should
be given their independence under the
American protection. While adheTing
to his former position on the financial
question. Mr., Bryan has not vOlun-
tarisy forced that subject to the front
in his speeches.
Mr. Bryan's health has improved
from the beginning of his tour and he
has never been under the necessity Of
resorting 10 a physician for advice or
assistance.
For the most part the weather has
been pleasant and no engagement to
speak has been broken.
Mrs. Bryan joined her husband in
New York a week ago and has travelled
with him since.
