certs in the capitol grounds and in Government square, after which a luncheon was rendered to Mir. Bryan, Mir. Kern and the members of the notification committee at the Lincoln hotel. All was put in readiness for the procession to the capitol. where the ad. dresses will be delivered.
 The notification of Mir Bryan and the delivery of his speech of accept. ance brought to Lincoln an imposing gathering of distinguished men. and men of prominence of both the Repub. lican and Democratic parties. for Mir. Bryan and his friends followed the novel course of making the notifica' tion celebration a nonpartisan affair in every respect. State officials, members of the legislature from both parties, partook in the doings of the day to honor Nebraska's leading citizen as 6 man and a citizen and not alone as the leader of great political party.
 The making of the ceremony non' partisan was brought about as the re. suit of a conference between Governor Sheldon, National Committeeman Hall and Mayor Brown and a committee of citizens of Lincoln.
 The three features of leading impor. tance were the speeches of MT. Bryan, John ". Ke1n. candidate for vice pres. ident, and Congressman II. D. Clay. ton of Alabama. permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention, who headed the notification committee.
 Lincoln seems to have outdone itself in honor of Mir. Bryan. The larger stores have hundreds of flags draped along each story. while banners droop from the windows The Elks' club. house is draped in red. white and blue, while pictures of Mir. Bryan are on display in the windows.
