MIR. BRYAN MAKES
APT COMPARISON
Especial to The sentinei,l

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb, July IS
Yesterday was one of comparative
leisure for william Jennings Bryan
and he found opportunity to dispose
of a considerable amount of personal
business
In view of the action of the national
democratic committee on the subject
of the publication of campaign contri-
buttons Mr. Bryan was especially in
terested in the announcement OF Re
publican Treasurer Sheldon that he
would not. before election. make known
the contributions made for the repub-
lican campaign. but that he would do
after the election.
What would you think of a sher-
iff." said Mr.. Bryan to number of
newspaper men. who, when ap-
preached by man from whom a horse
had been stolen. would say: You cam
not get your horse back. but l can tell
you who has the horse'?'
The conclusion of Mr.. Bryan to go
to Chicago on the 25th of this month
to meet the subcommittee of the ma
tional committee was based on the fact
that 1t would be more convenient to
all parties concerned. Mr.. Bryan stat
ed however. that he would not. at
that time. make any public address.
but would reserve his utterances un-
til the day of the official notification
of his nomination. He will leave here
on the afternoon of the 24th. and ex-
poets to remain in Chicago but one
