Situation.
iRY Associated Press

LINCOLN, NEB, Sept. CIV. ].
Bryan to-day continued his canvass of the
First Congressional District in this State.
He started out early in an automobile, m
tending to make three speeches before re-
turning to Lincoln. The first stop was
made at the little town of Waverly, in
Lancaster county, where he spoke q 1880
o'clock In his speech at that point, which
is only twelve miles from Lincoln, the
Presidential candidate talked in a familiar
strain as TO old neighbors. He was greet
ed by a large number of people. Mr..
Bryan did not attempt to deliver q formal
speech, but he talked to the people for
half an hour or more concerning the is
sues, dwelling especially on imperialism
and militar:sm.
BRYAN AND THE DUTCH.
AT Firth Mr.. Bryan addressed a crowd
composed largely of Dutch, and he was
introduced by a speaker in the Dutch Lam
guage His speech was, in the main. an
argument against the policy of the admin
istration IN the Philippines. He said that
, after travelling more or less over the
United States he was satisfied that the
country was big enough without taking
in the Philippines. He declared the Re-
publican policy of a character calculated
to strike at the very principles Of govern
ment, and he asserted that if we are to
have imperialism we must have large
standing army, and that the Republican
party meant to maintain large army
was made manifest by the increase already
established.
Mr.. Bryan said that the Filipinos had al
ways stood ready to give us a coaling
station at Manila. But he said, 1.-THE
trouble is, we have wanted. to hold all
the land to see whether there was any
coal there And IN the language OF a
member of Congress it was, he said, sig
nificant that one of the first acts of the
Government after Dewev's victory was
to give instructions to ascertain whether
there was coal in the archipelago.
AS TO SOUTH AFRICA
Mr.. Bryan closed with reference to the
scene in South Africa, giving a graphic
picture of it and strongly condemning the
Administration want of sympathy.
He declared that Indifference so great
to the fate of a South African Republic
might be justly regarded as an index to
the state of mind concerning our own re-
public.
After his speech at Firth, Mr. Bryan
drove to Haitian, distance of nine miles.
and there made the last speech Of the day.
