Lincoln, Neb., November 4.-W. J. Bryai and Mrs, Bryan arrived at their home il this city tonight, coming direct from Chi cago. They were driven to their residence where MT.

 to the probable outcome of the election and said:
 "The fight has been made and
 won. Money and coercion robbed
 us of a victory in 1896, but ] be-
 Iieve they will be powerIess to
 change the result this time. The
 people are earest, and very few
 can be bought. Our organization Is much better than it was in 1896,
 and therefore there s less danger in frauds. So far attempts at in- timidation have been rare this year where they were very com
 mon in 1896, and even where intim- idation has been attempted it has
 angered the employees rather than
 coerced them."
 MT. Bryan's attention was called to tn address by Charles R. Flint and others who claim to be Democrats, but urge Dem ocrats to vote the Republican ticket MT Bryan said that he was very glad to fin, that MT. Flint was supporting Mckinley and added
 Who MT. Flint Is.
 "Mr. Flint is the leading member of tn rubber goods manufacturing company and is also connected with the starcl trust, He has been the most conspicuou defender of trust principles in the Unite States, having made a speech in Boston | May, 1899, and another at Chicago recent on that subject. I am glad to have al trust magnates support the Republical ticket for if I am elected they will not b visiting the White House and asking ia i'm, fox appeal is to the people who suffer from tn trusts, not to the monopoliests to profit b, them. Next to imperialism and militar ism, the trust question has done more thai any other question to convince the plail people that the Republican party is entire ly given over to the control of organized wealth. Imperialism exploits abroad whicl private monopoly plunders at home, and tn large army advocated by the Republican party is intended to support the system o spoiliation at home and abroad"
