TWO ADDRESSES
BY Bryan Wednesday at LincoIn-ls
As Full Of Hope AS Ever.

Fairview, Lincoln, Ncb., July 81
Honesty in business and a defence of
the Denver platform, particularly with
respect to publicity before election of
campaign contributions, formed the
themes of two addresses made today by
William ]. Bryan. The first speech
was at Capital Beach to the Associa-
ton of Groccrs and Butchers of Lin.
coin and the second to the state Demo-
cratic committee.
To the state committee Mr.. Bryan
gave assurances that reports of Demo-
cratic success from different parts of
the country were encouraging. He
said:
The campaign is not opened yet,
and l have really not been notified of
my nomination but some limitations
have been given to me of the surprise
in store for me, that it won't be as
sudden as it might when it comes. The
promptness with which our Democratic
papers are taking up the subject of
subscriptions to the campaign fund is
very encouraging. Several have al
ready opened subscriptions and l be-
lievc that it is going to be generally
followed. This is probably a response
to the partys position in regard to the
publicity concerning campaign contri-
buttons, and it verifies the hope of
those who believed that if the party
announced it's determination to rely
for it's SincwS of war upon contribu-
tons that would come from the body
of the people and receive no contribu-
ton that could not be made public that
confidence would be reciprocated and
the people would respond.
THAT is all | care to say at this
time. gentlemen. The issues have been
presented in the platform l believe
that it is the best Democratic plat
form that this country has known for
generations. that it especially sets
forth the parties position. And the
Republicans are already in retreat
They turned down the plank in regard
to the publicity of campaign contri-
buttons they turned it down in their
convention by an overwhelming ma
jority and so the Democratic party
acted. They had about three weeks
after that convention in which to act,
but they did not do anything until the
Democratic convention acted, and then
we heard it announced that they were
going to publish the statement after
the election. And the first intimation
was they would get contributions
wherever they could and tell after
election; and after the Democratic na-
tional committee acted and put that
platform pledge in effect the Republic
can candidate announced that they
would receive no contributions from
corporations. They have been moving
very rapidly thus far, and l am not
prepared to tell you what they may do
next"
1t has been definitely determined that
the notification of Mr.. Bryan of his
nomination for the President shall
occur on the grounds surrounding the
state capitol. The exercises will be-
gin at = O'Clock on Aug. l..

have stamped the loan as an even more remarkable success than 1t was, if all these bids could have been re- garded as made in good faith by re- sponsible parties. Examination of the bids showed, however, that many oi them were not only speculative in character but that they were made in many cases for very large amounts by those who were personally irresponsi- ble and incapable of having made even the smallest preliminary payment if such payment had been required"
 The amount of currency which disap- peared from circulation from the time of the suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust company until confidence was practically restored in December, is stated as approximately $296, 1000, 900. This amounted substantially to one tenth of the entire estimated money in circulation in the United States.
 Concerning the distribution of pub lie moneys in banks throughout the country. the secretary says that this has been done without regard to par tisanship and no section has received other than the fair and impartial con sideration to which 1t is entitled
 Details of the distribution appended to the report shows that the present deposits are divided among 1,421 banks. Considerable space is devoted to showing that great care has beer taken in distributing the deposits and much consideration is shown to com munities where particular trade move ments involve special demand for currency at certain intervals.
 On the subject of remedial legisla- tion the secretary says that in every measure of relief the treasury has taken, he has felt that he was bound, under our existing fiscal and monetary system, to have regard not simply to the operations of the treasury, but to their effect upon the financial condi- tion of the country. He has not as sumed this obligation willingly and would be glad to be relieved of 1t at least in part by suitable legislation, and If recent events should lead to in- telligent legislation, tending to adapt the movement of currency more nearly automatically to the requirements of business, it would be source of grati- fication to the secretary and would greatly diminish the sense of respon- sibility which must weigh heavily upon any occupant of the office under con. ditions such as those of the recent crisis.
