Topeka, Kan, Aug. 23.-Mr. Bryan today received the second official notification of his nomination for the Presidency This notification came from the Populist party through Thomas M Patterson of Colorado. He was at the same time informed by A. w. Fucker of the endorsement of his candi. dacy by the United States Monetary League.
 The ceremonies took place in the State Capitol grounds and were witnessed by large audience.
 In many respects the meeting parallels the Indianapolis notification. This was true in the fact that both were held in parks, in that the weather was intensely hot, and in that the impatience of he crowd comA pelled speakers preceding MT. Bryan to cur- tail their remarks and the entire ceremonies ended in about and hour and a half Rain had been threatened early in the day, but before the meeting was called to order at least half past three, all fears of storm had vanished Many of the auditors found their way to the vicinity of the stand an hour or more before the speaking began and valiantly held their ground. despite the intense heat.

Still there was very ht- tie complaint until the ceremonies were well under way and the crowd laughed and chatted while waiting for the speakers. There were however an audible sign of relief, mingled with the applause which greeted the appearance of MT. Bryan at 3:30, and it was evident that while there acir to and him. the audience finding the situation too uncomfortable to be long endured.
 MT. Bryan Welcomed
 State Chairman Ridgeley of the Populist party introduced James A. Troutman who made a brief speech welcoming MT. Bry- an to the city. MT. Troutman formerly was Lieutenant Governor of the State, and he is Republican in politics. His speech was personally complimentary to MT. Bry- an.
 MT. Troutman was followed by Frank Doster Chief Justice of the State, who extended the welcome of the State at large. He had prepared a speech but delivered only a small part of 1t because of the heat and evident desire to hear MT. Bryan
 MT Doster was followed by Jerry Simp- son, who was introduced as the permanent chairman in the absence of National Chair man Butler MT Simpson made a brief speech congratulating Tojeka upon being selected as a place for the notification of MT. Bryan by a great party as it's candi- date for the Presidency. He compared MT. Bryan with Lincoln and predicted that he would lead the people back to the land- mark of human liberty which Lincoln had so materially assisted in establishing.
 Let us trust" he said, that Nebraska and Kansas standing side by side as in 1860, will again give their support to a candidate who has, as the candidate of that time had. but one code of morals, which embraces, did Lincoln's, all men of all times regardless of color or envi- ronment."
 MT Simpson introduced MT. Patterson, who, as chairman of the national Populist convention, became chairman of the noti- fication committee MT. Patterson was re- ceived with applause and many of his points were loudly cheered, but, like Judge Doster, he materially reduced the length of his speech because of the heat and of the impat tiance of the audience. Judge A. w. Fucker, who conveyed to MT. Bryan the information of his endorsement by the United States Monetary League. had also to yield to the demands for a courtailment of his speech.
 Applause Greeted Bryan
 When MT. Fucker took his seat Mir. Simp- son lost no time in introducing MT. Bryan, who was received with burst of applause. MT. Bryan read the greater part of his ad- dress from manuscript and the delivery consumed about forty minutes, but the crowd listened intently throughout and without any manifestation of impatience or dsapproval. When he ceased speaking those present were invited to shake hands with him. and many availed themselves of this opportunity.
 Before beginning his address proper, MT. Bryan replied with words of thanks to Mr Troutman's welcoming remarks.
 He then began the reading of his ad- dress as originally prepared, only stopping to interject a few words in reply to the nolifca ,4on of Judge Rucker.
 At o'clock this evening MT. Bryan left for Manhattan, Kan, where he is an- nounced to speak tomorrow.
 On his way to the depot Mir. Bryan called on the local lodge of Elks and also upon the Topeka Democratic Flambeau Club. He made brief addresses at both, saying to the club he would rather see the club at a Presidential inauguration than a regiment of soldiers.
