Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 6.-Mr. Bryan
on Friday concluded the writing of his
speech to be made at indianapolis next
| Wednesday, in accepting the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency.
He spent almost the entire day in this
work, giving no time to callers. The
speech Is about 5000 words In length.
He has adhered to his original inten-
ton of devoting the document almost
entirely to the question of imperialism.
In following this course he pursues the
general plan adopted in 1896 of giving
especial attention in his notification
speech to the subject made paramount
by the democratic platform. For this
reason the policy Of the government
with reference to the acquisition Of
Soreirr %arrI<or1 >r,il1 as, 800. T..
given the place Of prominence which
was allotted to the financial question
IN 1895, the other subjects being left to
be dealt with in the letter Of accept
ance, to be given out later. The re-
marks upon this subject are based
upon the administrations conduct Of
affairs in the Philippine archipelago.
Trusts will form theme only sec.
endary to Imperialism, but not nearly
so much space will be devoted to that
topic. 1t Is also said that the income
tax will be entirely neglected at this
time In connection with imperial
ism, the Philippines, Port Rico, Cuba
and Hawaii will be taken up in turn,
and Mr.. Bryan will voice his we'll
known views along the lines Of the
Kansas City platform. The reference
to free silver, IL there is any at ali,
will be brief, but there will be no rad
ical departure from his old stand.
The same can be said of government
by injunction. Militarism is likely to
be discussed in connection with I'm.
perialism.
1t 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. He will meet
democrats of prominence, and Vice
Chairman Edmistep, of the national
populist committee, has issued cali
to the executive committee of that
party to meet in Chicago on the day
following the indianapolis meeting.
Mr., Edmisten declined to state the pur-
pose of this meeting, but there Is little
doubt that its principal object Is to
confer with Mr.. Bryan and other lead
ers, possibly with view of deciding
what course shall be pursued with ref
erence to Mr.. Towne's candidacy for
the vice presidency.
