Special Lincoln Letter.
Lincoln , Neb. ( Special corres
pondence. ) The end of the last
week in June found upwards of
775 delegates out of the 91(5 ( who
will be at Denver instructed or
pledged to the nomination of Mr.
Bryan. The Johnson headquar
ters at Chicago have been closed ,
the manager saying that the fight
will not be carried on from Den
ver. Willis J. Abbot was in Lin
coln last week , and he says that
the Johnson men are merely hop
ing against hope that "something
will happen at Denver. " They
base this forlorn hope on the fact
ill
that the New York World and
Brooklyn Eagle have announced
that they will oppose Bryan. Only
once in eighteen years have the
Brooklyn Eagle and New York
World supported the democratic
nominee for president. That was
in 1904 , when they were such en
thusiastic supporters of Judge
Parker that they actually had to <
fight over which was entitled to
the credit of being 11. ' "personal
organ and discoverer1' of the
Sage of Esopus. What hapiened
to the only democratic candidate
in eighteen years to receive the
support of the World and the
Eagle is of such recent occurrence
as to need no further comment.
Norman E. Mack , editor of the
Buffalo Times and national committeeman -
mitteeman for New York , was in
Lincoln last week. lie says
Lieutenant Governor Chanler of
New York is the man to nominate
for vice president , and submits
many evidences of his contention.
Mr. Mack says that the New York
delegation's vote will be almost
solid for By ran when the time
comes to vote.
Judge .Gray of Delaware is
looming high on the horizon as a
vice presidential possibility.
Judge Gray was the chairman of
the arbitration board that settled
the great anthracite strike , and the
miners have gladly accepted his
services as arbiter in several other
disputes. A number of eastern
leaders are pushing his"candidacy , >
although heis known to be averse
to the use of his name-
Lincoln is choke full of news
paper correspondents th'Sse days.
They are Hocking here by the
score , and many of them will re
main hero until election -day. Mr.
Bryan has provided them with
headquarters in u cottage near
Fairview , where tliey have tele
graph mstrurr.ents , telephones ,
desks and cveTy other imaginable
convenience. He will also have a
tent pitched on the Fairview lawr
for their convenience. During
the campaig n of 1896 , when Mr ,
Bryan was making his famous
campaign tour , he made friends
with the aimy of newspaper mer
who accorr ipanied him. When th (
tour enrfec i at Omaha the night be
fore elect'on a score of these cor
respondei its visited the World
Herald c flice , where the write :
was emp eyed , and every one wai
an a'rden : Bryan supporter , -.chougl
three-foi irfchs of them wen * re
publican s. Those who conk1 ge
home IE time to vote left tha
jnight so they could vote for "Bryan
and those who could not finished
their work sat around the World-
Herald editoral rooms andi swap
ped stories of the great leader. If
the vote of the newspaper corres
pondents decided matters , Mr. '
Bryan would be elected almost un- i
animously. j
If the conditions that exist in !
Lincoln are matched by conditions
elsewhere , it is all over but the
shouting and the hard work , i
Thirty per cent of the membership - j
ship of the Lincoln Bryan Club is j
made up of republicans who are '
wearing Bryan badges and shout
ing i'or the Fairview statesman.
" We're not caring so very much
what kind of a platform they adopted -
dopted at Denver , either , " said
one of these republican supporters
of Bryan. ' 'Bryan is a good
enough platform for us. They
can't fool us on Bryan again.
We've learned the truth about
him. "
Last wcelrand the week before
a Chautauqua was held at "Bryan
Park. " a handsome bit of shaded
ground about a half mile from Mr.
Bryan's home. Mr. Bryan donat
ed the use of the ground , and in
addition appeared twice on the
program without cost to the man
agement. Mr. Bryan has lectured
numerous times in Nebraska , but
he has made an invariable rule not
to accept pay for any lectures de
livered in his home sttile. He has
lectured in nearly every pulpit in
Lincoln. A year ago he promised
an old farmer friend near Malcolm ,
ten miles northwest of Lincoln , to
lecture in the Malcolm church on
June M of this year , that being
the anniversary of the church's
organization. Three months ago
this old friend died , but Mr. Bryan
kept the date , though he had to
drive through a raging storm over
almost impassable roads to do so.
And that little Malcolm church
was crowded with farmers and
their wives who had' driven for
miles through mud and wind and
rain to hear Mr. Bryan's lecture
on "The Prince of Peace. "
Early in l.he . week a big crowd
of Illinois democrats , headed by
Roger Sullivan and other delegates
to Denver , drove into Lincoln in
automobiles. They are making
the entire journey in autos and
have had a great experience.
While they make it a point to
spend the night at hotels , and eat
at hotels during the day , they are
prepared for contingencies , for
one big aulo carries cots and a
commissary. A day and a night
was spent in Lincoln , and then the
caravan proceeded on to Denver.
The tourists expect to reach the
mountain city next Sunday even
ing. While in Lincoln the party
was royally entertained , made'
pilgrimage to Fairview , and was
accompanied for miles towards
Denver by a big escort of enthusi
astic Lincoln autoists.
The Lincoln "Hryan Train. "
carrying the Lincoln Bryan Club
and the Bryan Traveling Men's
Club , will leave Lincoln over the
Union Pacific next Monday morn-
i.ig. Upwards of three hundred
pe-ople will take advantage of this
excursion , not counting the two
big bands that go along. The
dele gates to the Denver conven
tion will be aboard. The train
will be fitted out with everything
needed barber shop , baths , com
missary and will be used as sleep
ing quarters while in Denver.
Gome big democrats will be in
Lincoln Friday night , attending
the annaal banquet of the Bryan
Traveling Men's Club. Ollie
James of Kentucky , Tom Johnson
of Ohio , Tomlinson of South Car
olina , and others of equal promi
nence on the toast list. Richard L.
Metcalfe of The Commoner staff
will officiate as toastmaster. It
t will be a "keynoter. "
