LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4-W. j. Bryan
and Mrs Bryan arrived at their home in
this city this evening, coming direct from
Chicago. They were driven to their resi-
dence where Mr.. Bryan will remain until
tomorrow morning, when he will start
on a flying trip through Nebraska, de-
voting the last of the campaign to his
own State. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan found a
Many of them escorted him to his resi-
dence, and still others were found there
awaiting his arrival
The trip from. Chicago was comparative
ly quiet. Mr.. Bryan slept during the en-
tire forenoon. He did not take any break
fast, nor did ne make his appearance until
after IL o'clock. He had just arisen when
the train reached erosion, Ia, where
there was quite strong dem-
onstration in his honor Several
hundred people had congregated at
the depot and there were calls for u
speech Mr.. Bryan told the people, how
ever, that he never made speeches on Sun
day, but he shook hands with most of
those present before the train started.
There were similar crowds at Villisca,
Red Oak and Pacific Junction, and when,
late in the afternoon, the train rolled
across the long bridge over the Missouri
and landed the national candidate in his
own State, at the town of Plattsmouth.
there was a still stronger demonstration.
The crowd was large, and there were many
calls for Br. Bryan. He declined, as at
other places, to speak there, and the train
did not remain at standstill long enough
to afford opportunity to personally greet
many persons. Mr.. Bryan was met at
Omaha by a number of his personal
friends.
During the day Mr.. Bryan was asked for
statement as TO the probable outcome
of the election. In reply. he said: 1.-THE
fight has been made and won. Money
and coercion robbed us of victory in 1895.
but 1 believe they will be powerless to
change the result this time. The people
are in earnest, and very few can be bought.
Our organization is much better than it
was in 1896 and therefore there is less
danger of fraud. So far. attempts at in
timidation have been rare. this year, where
they were very common in 1886, and even
where intimidation has been attempted it
has angered the employees rather than CO.
creed them"
DOESNI WANT II.
Mr. Bryan's attention was called to the
address by Charles r. Flint and others who
claim to be Democrats, but urge Demo-
Gratis to vote the Republican ticket Mr..
Bryan said that he was very glad to find
that Mr.. Flint was supporting Mr.. Nc
I<inley, and added: "Mr. Flint is the lead
ing member of the rubber goods manu-
featuring company, and is also connected
with the starch trust. He has been the
most conspicuous defender of the trust
principle in the United States, having made
a speech at Boston in May, 1899. and an
other at Chicago recently, on that subject
am glad to have all trust magnates sup
pert the Republican ticket, for if / am
elected they will not be visiting the White
House and asking favors in return for
campaign support.
"Our appeal is to the people who suffer
from the trusts. not to the monopolists
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 or
ganized wealth Imperialism exploits
abroad while private monopoly plumbers
at home, and the large army advocated
by the Republican party is intended to
support the system of spoliation at home
and abroad"
When Mr.. Bryan reached Lincoln to-
night he had been absent from his home
for about five and a half weeks. having
left this city the 9th of September
During that time he had Travelled about
