Letter From MIR. Bryan.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels received q let
ter yesterday from Mr.. Bryan, written
from Paris, which contained a mes
sage to the Democracy of North Caro-
lima. We quote:
Il am sure the friendly sentiments
expressed by the various conventions
pleased you and the other friends
rs much as it does me. Probably
more, for in my case, mingled with
the pleasure is the sense OF possible
responsibility, although l do not as
sumo that action taken this year
necessarily decides the conventions
action. Sha be delighted to see you
in New York, also the delegation
from our State. = Il x
You may say to the democrats ot
your State that | am grateful to them
Tor their very generous expressions Of
confidence. | cannot admit that !
merit the kind words sooken. but one
in public life receives so much abuse
that he does not deserve that it is
necessary to be praised more than he
deserves in order to maintain the
parity"
The Official Program of Reception.
Mr.. VIM. Hoge, chairman of the
Bryan Reception committee, sends the
following statement Of the Bryan re-
ception:
while the reception to William
Jennings Bryan in New York on Au-
gust 80 will be the most remarkable
popular demonstration to q plain
American citizen ever seen in the

crowded with more visitors than at

no difficulty Is 2~pprehended by he
of the entertainment i'll
caring for the throngs of strangers.
OF course, everybody will not be able
to hear MI. Bryan's speech in Madison
Square Garden }. the night Of August
30, but every visitor will be able to
see him during the parade III the af-
ternoon and at night in Madison

Nh. Bryan will be brought to the

y sufficient force of police will be on

Governor Folk, of Missouri, and prob
ally Acting Mayor MCGOWAN. An es-
cort of one of the city troops will Is
provided, and it is optional with Wis
ting delegations to follow IN horse
back or in carriages.
"Simplicity is to dominate every
thing about the reception, at the re
quest OF Mr.. Bryan, and the process
sion up Broadway will be without
music or other accessories of a garish
nature. AS Mr.. Bryan is to be well
coined merely as a distinguished
American in private life, who has al
tracted worldwide attention as one of
the greatest men this country has pro-
duced, the desire is to avoid the trap
pings of political demonstration.
The parade Will be up Broadway,

sidewalk, to Fifty-ninth street, thence
