LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 4.-Mr. Bryan
has concluded the writing Of his speech
to be made at indianapolis next
Wednesday in accepting the Demo.
cratic nomination for the presidency.
The speech is about 5000 words in
length. He has adhered to his original
intention Of devoting the document al
most entirely to the question of i'm
perialism.
In following this course he pursued
the general plan, adopted in 1896 Of
giving especial attention in his notifi-
cation speech to the subject made para
mount by the Democratic platform.
For this reason the policy Of the gov
eminent with reference to the acquisi-
ton Of foreign territory will this year
be given the place Of prominence which
was allotted to the financial question in
1896, the other subjects will be dealt
with in his letter Of acceptance to be
given out later. The remarks upon
this subject are based upon tho sdmin-
istration's conduct Of affairs in the
Philippine archipelago.
It is now Mr.. Bryan's intention to
remain in Chicago for several days,
possibly week, after the Indianapolis
meeting, the entire time to be given to
conferences with leaders Of all the
forces supporting him. Vice Chairman
Edmisten, Of the national Populist COM
mittee has issued q call to the executive
committee of that party to meet in Chi
cago on the day following the Indian.
apolis meeting. Mr.. Edmisten declined
to state the purpose Of this meeting,
but there is little doubt that it's princi.
pal object is to confer with Mr.. Bryan
and other leaders possibly with a view
of deciding what course shall be pur-
sued with reference to Mr.. Towne's
candidacy for the vice presidency.
