To-morrow morning Mr. Bryan will start on | a flying trip through Nebraska, devoting the last day of his campaign to his own State.

Mr. Bryan slept during the entire forenoon and did not make his appearance until after 12 o'clock. He had just arisen when the train reached Creston, Towa. Several hundred persons had congregated at the depot and there were calls for a speech. Mr. Bryan sald he never made speeches on Sunday, but he shook hands with most of those present before the train started. There were similar crowds at Red Oak and Pacific Junction and when, late in the afternoon, the train landed the candidate in his own State, at the town of Platts- mouth, there was a still stronger demon. stration. The crowd was large and there were many calls for Mr. Bryan. clined to speak and the train did not re- main at a standstill long enough to afford opportunity to personally greet many persons.” Mr. Bryan was met at Omaha b, a number of his personal friends. During the day Mr. Bryan was asked for a statement as to the probable out- come of the election. In reply he said: “The fight has been made and won. Money and coercion robbed u$ of a vie- tory in 1896, but I belleve they will be powerless to chahge the result this time. The people are in earnest and few can be bought. Our organization is much better than it was In 159 and even where fn- timidation has been attempted it has angered the employes rather than coerced them.” Mr. Bryan's attention was called to the Continued on Second Page.
