BRYAN LONELY AT STATION
Erstwhile WOrshipers Conspicuous by
Absence at Railroad Depot.
GLAD TO SEE AIDRICH QUIT
Proprietor of COmmOner Talks of
Recent Congressional Elections and
Predicts Majority for His
Party in Next House.

Dahlman and his lariat and several other
democratic leaders, were conspicuous by
their absence yesterday afternoon when
William Jennings Bryan passed through
Omaha on his way to his Lincoln home.
There was no brass band, no aggregation
decked out in bright coored ribbons and no
democratic leaders to grasp the hand of Mr..
Bryan when he alighted from the Pullman
car at the Burlington station to stretch his
legs and walk awhile
Bryan said that he was glad to get back
home again, but refused to discuss the
question of county option until after he has
reached Lincoln. Speaking OF the article
which appears in the current issue Of the
commoner. he said that whatever appears
n the Bryan magazine is authetie. whether
William Jennings Bryan is in Lincoln or in
South America.
THE EDITORIAL he said, was written in
reply to an article which saw in a Boston
paper, and I wrote it to set myself clear
upon the question"
The proprietor of the Commoner shied
clear of the question of his now running
for the United States senate, saying that
he had nothing to add to what had already
been said, but he thinks that there will be
the senate. Speaking of this he said:
Il think there is every evidence that
unanimous consent will be given when Aid
rich asks TO retire. The general acqui-
escence to his retirement reminds me of a
story heard many years ago. A man when
informed of the death of man with whom
he radically differed on important ques-
tions said that while one could not prop
pf.lU uf he %
was one Of those dispensations Of Provi-
dence to which one could easily reconcile
himself think that a great many people
feel that way about Mr. Aldrch retiring. -
When asked II this applied equally with
Senator Hale he replied. "I think Mr..
Aldrich a good man for Mr.. Hale to re-
tire with, although he was not so con-
spicuous in the tariff fight"
FOresees Democratic House.
Concerning the insurgent movement. he
said that he was always glad to see op-
position to wrong policies, whether within
the republican party or outside of It, Then
he predicted democratic house. saying:
Indications point to a democratic house
Elections show democratic gains. There
have been three such congressional cleo
tions lately. One was in Missouri, where
DeArmond's successor was elected by the
largest democratic majority the district
ever has given; in Massachusetts,, where a
large republican majority was overturned
and a democrat was elected The other
was in Rochester, N. Y.
THE election in New York involved a
personal fight against the republican can.
