Yesterday by the famous Nebraskan
to an Optic representative who en-.
countered him at the depot II will

Bryan, Jr., were passengers on No. |
yesterday, They were bound for the
petrified forest Of Arizona and the
Grand Canyon The gentleman seeks
a rest before entering upon the rigors
of a campaign upon the stump. He
will remain only a week or ten days
and after couple OF days here, will
go back to Denver to make cam
paign speech September l6.
Mr.. Bryan is somewhat of an in.
teryiewer himself. Yesterday he
wanted to know a good many things
about the country. the distance e
Harvey's. the opportunities for hunt
ing and fishing, the climatic condi,
tions and he probably did not want te
talk politics, However. he said that
he would make campaign speeches IN
Indiana and Nebraska. He did not
care to discuss his reasons for sup
porting Parker, as he preferred ex,
planning his position on the stump.
He also declined to talk about himself
as a senatorial probability In Nebras
ka. He expressed the belief that
Judge Parker had good chance Of
being elected president.
Mr.. Bryan wished to pass through
the city quietly and to postpone any
thing in the way Of receptions and
speeches until his return. According
~, information of his coming was
sent to but few. The distinguished
orator has changed little. In appear
