Lincoln, Neb., June 6.--In a state ment given Thursday night to the As. sociated press, William ]. Bryan re- plies to an article appearing a week ago in the New York World charging that MT. Bryan was the beneficiary of campaign contribution made by Thomas F. Ryan. MT. Bryan declares if MT. Ryan made the contribution 1t was without his knowledge or consent, and he repeats his former statement that when it is proven to him that Mir Ryan did make the contribution he will see that the money is returned to the donor. MT. Bryan says:
 Chairman Allen and Mir. Dahlman, the Nebraska member of the national Democratic committee. have already denied the Worlds charges and stated that the only money received came from the national committee. but de- sire to add the following statement "Mr. Allen says that he never saw either MT. Sheehan or MT. Ryan, and l have no reason to doubt his word If MT. Ryan contributed to the Ne braska campaign 1t was not with my knowledge or consent While I had but a remote personal interest in the Nebraska campaign that year. am in terested in Nebraska politics and am also interested in national politics, and I am not willing to be, in the slight. est degree, obligated to any favor seeking corporation. If, therefore, the World will secure from either Mir Sheehan or MT. Ryan a statement or prove, in any other way, that Mir Ryan gave to Mir. Sheehan, or to any one else, or to the national committee, any sum whatever, with the under standing that the sum would be used In the Nebraska campaign l shall see that the amount is returned to Mr. Ryan.
 ''As to the charge that my support of Judge Parker was purchased 1 need only say that I announced my support of Judge Parker immediately after the St. Louis convention and that sup port was open and unqualified from the convention until the polls closed had opposed his nomination, but he had no more loyal supporter during the campaign. l was in correspon- dence with him and both on the stump and with my pen rendered all the as sistance I could. While the World was selling it's columns to the Repub- iican committee to be used in carica. turing Judge Parker, my paper was urging his selection"
