expect continuance or public favor.
l may recall two of such within the
memory of all of us. You will remem-
ber in 1890 there was great demo-
cratic tidal wave that swept into office
many who at the time of nomination
had little expectation of success. Four
years later there was another tidal
wave, a republican wave, that swept
out of office a great many democrats
and into office a great many repub-
llcans who hardly expected to sue
ceed Circumstances are potent in the
political success of the people. There-
fore you can not build securely upon
honors that come without necessarily
much effort or merit on your part
But the affections that are Iormed be-
tween man and man are strengthening
day by day and knitting the past more
closely together as the years go by.
These are permanent, these are more
significant.
Il want to say to you, my friends,
that we appreciate the cordial friend
ships that have been growing up be-
tween us and our associates in this
community during the last two dec
AIDES, and it is generous and gracious
on your part to come at this time to
Increase the greatness OF this day.
do not know what the future has in
store for US; kind Providence con-
ceals from us the book of fate. We
learn each day what each day is to
bring forth, and we must be prepared
for whatever comes, but l will say this
too, that l appreciate the generous
good will and affection so many of the
American people have shown. more
than l could appreciate any office that
could come to me. / would rather
have the love of those who know me
than any other thing on earth.
(Long applause and cheering, the
band playing Dixie" and several
cheers and tigers being given by the
crowd.)
4 am not going to make a political
speech. l kind Of wish could go
through this campaign without maxi
ing any political speech here" ?
Al. s O'clock tonigat Mr.. Bryan re-.
tired to enjoy q well-earned rest.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Bryan
will go to Denver. This afternoon Mr.
Bryan telegraphed to Judge o. p. Hail.
the new national committeeman for
Nebraska, and invited the national
committee to visit Mr.. Bryan at Fair
view upon the return from the cOnven-
tion. or offering, If that were incon-
Venient, to go to Denver himself. In
formation tonight Is that the national
committee will come here
The first of the returning east
bound democratic hosts from the DEN
yer convention reached Lincoln short
ly before midnight tonight. The party
was composed of the members of the
Chicago Cook county democracy
headed by Robert Burke.
The first question asked by the club
men when they climbed off the train
at the station was; who was nomi-
mated for vice PRESIDENT" for imper-
feet telegraph service had kept them
in ignorance as to the choice of the
party for second place until Lincoln
was reached.
The members had looked for the
nomination of Mr.. Kern and expressed
themselves as well pleased at the out
come. They rather expected the pres
enee Of Mr.. Bryan at the train. and
when they were told he was in bed
after forty-elght hours watch of
bulletins, they seemed glad their
leader was not losing sleep on their
account.
The result of the convention was
satisfactory to all the men on the
trip.
How are you suited with the work
of the convention" was asked Of Rob-
ert Burke.
Il am pleased" he said. 1--WE ac-
complished what we wanted-the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan"
You had some trouble in the dele
gatlon?"
Yes" answered Mr. Burke. I'VE
fought the Sullivan delegates and were
beaten. But we made them come out
for Bryan. which was what we set
out to do, and we are perfectly satls-
fled. We think we have done good
work and are going back to Chicago
TO help reorganize the democracy of
Illinois to win victory for Bryan this
fall"
Dan b. Jessup. secretary of the Fed
Grafton of Bryan clubs of Cook eoun-
ty said I'VE kept the delegates so
busy fighting contests that they had
no time to form coalition between
New York and Pennsylvania to beat
Bryan. That was what we wanted
and what we were satisfied to accom-
plish." NO.
The following telegram was sent to
Mr. Bryan by the club. signed by
President ID. @. Mcmahon, d. q. Co
burn. d. b. Jessup. William Prentiss,
M. J. Devine and X. E. Burke:
THE Cook county democracy ex-
tends to you its most sincere congrat-
ulations on the outcome of the conven-
tlon, and with the utmost confidence
predict your election in November by
the greatest majority ever received by
any president"
Messages poured In for Bryan
throughout the evening and night. but
the presidential nominee was getting
needed rest and will not read them
until tomorrow The expectation Is
that there will be several visitors at
Fairvlew Saturday.
