Pensacola, Fla, July s--(special. )--- United States Senator Stephen R. Nal. | l0ry, who has been in Washington at-
 tending the sessions of Congress. and
 who succeeded in getting through
 much important legislation for the
 henefit of Florida, returned home last night. The Senator has improved in
 health during the past few months and his general appearance Is better than I 1t has been for some years. His delay | in returning home after the adjourn
 ment of Congress was due to looking
 after soma department business which l Is of interest to Florida.

 strongest man, and from appearances

 Bryan Is a stronger man than he. and
 feel sure that the latter will be the
 Democratic standard-be bearer In the next
 Presidential campaign. He Is man
 in whom the people have confidence
 and many of those who voted against
 him in previous elections, will now east their votes for him. as they be- rlfeve, from recent developments that
 he was defeated by money. There ia
 a strong Bryan sentiment everywhere, and I feel sure he will not only be but elected
