BRYAN'S PLANS ARE CHANGED.
1T Is NOW UNDERSTOOD HE WILL
MAKE MANY SKETCHES.
May Make Campaign Tour Similar
to That Made in 1s96-After New
York He VIII Go to Maryland,
Then to the states Of the Middle
West-In New York State He VIII

Chicago, Aug. u.-W. ]. Bryans visit
to Chicago has practically resulted in an
understanding that he will travel almost
as much during the present campaign as
he did in 1896.
The first inclination on his part was 10
avoid the making of many speeches this
year. but there has been such general
pressure that it is understood he Is now
inclined TO yield and to visit many parts
of the country.
No positive promises for participation
in the campaign have been made for
other states than New York. but the prob
abilities are that he will go from that
state to Maryland, where there appears
TO be great anxiety for his appearance.
After that ime he is likely TO make a
general tour of the North Missis-
sippi valley states, including Ohio, 1ndi-
ana. Illinois, Minnesota, etc. No author
lied statement has been given out 20 this
effect but there is no doubt that this is
the present tendency-that, indeed the
plan is practically decided upon. In New
York it is expected that Mr.. Bryan Will
speak only in the larger cities.
The Silver Republicans originally ex-
pected to notify Mr.. Bryan of their nomi-
nation of him for the presidency at the
same time that the Popuists make their
notification at Topeka, Kan, Aug o. but
this purpose has been changed. Their no
tification will come later, and the proba-
bilities are that 1t will be made at st.
Paul or Minneapolis.
Hon. t NJ. Patterson of Denver will
make the speech notifying Mr.. Bryan of
the Populist nomination at Topeka. There
will be no notification TO a vice presiden-
tial candidate, as in view of Mr.. Towne's
declaration the Populists at present have
no candidate for that office.
