After supper Mr. Bryan was escorted to the opera house and before entering made a short ad dress to about 400 who were waiting on the outside , not being able to get Into the hall. After closing hla remarks to the outsiders he proceeded to the stage In front of the assemblage , largely woman , numbering In all about 800. Here he began his regulation tirade on the Income tax , the election ot United States senators by direct vote of the people , free silver , trusts , size of the standIng - Ing army and Imperialism , It was the same old story that has 'been ' hammered at by .every street corner orator , and Bryan added nothing to It , tor In no case did ho explain a remedy. He did per sist that wo had no business to get Into the Philippines , but now that we are In wo should get out like Americans. No explana tion was given as to what he meant by this. Thcro was no enthusiasm to speak ot ; a llttlo cheering sprung up occasionally , but died In Its Infancy. There were as many republicans In the audience as fuslonUts , but the largo part ot the audience was com posed of women. It was predicted that 10- 000 people would grost Bryan here , but not to exceed 1,200 showed up. The day has been a disappointment all around and the only good done has been that the curiosity of some people to see Bryan has been satis fied. fied.OAKLAND OAKLAND , Neb. , Sept. 20.

Much regrgt and disappointment was expressed at the logic of the speaker. Llttlo Interest was taken rtn what Bryan said. Ho advised everybody to votetor Holcomb so that the supreme court would decide against the majority. LYONS , Neb. , Sept. 20. ( Special. ) W. J.

( Special. ) It has been reported that the cmptojcs ot the new Itisurnnco department haVe contributed toward the expense ot contesting the quo wnrranlo proceedings Instituted In the supreme premo court by Auditor Cornell. Deputy Commissioner Bryant will appear In behalf of Governor Poyntcr In the case and will probably be the only "counsel. As to the charges Mr. Uryaut today said : "Tho statement that employes In the now Insurance department have been asked to contribute to the expense of defending the Weaver law Is positively untrue. The state should not put under necessity any man for defending a law out of his own prlvnte means. I believe that a man should hold office be cause of his ntnoss and not for Imaginary political services or for conducting the stato'n litigation out of his private purse. However , I will do nil that I can as a law yer to maintain the law. " A few days ago a representative ot a proposed Insurance'compauy called upon Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant and asked him to Inspect their articles of Incorporation. The articles provided for the perpetual existence of the corporation. After a personal conference with the gov ernor and with Attorney General Smyth , Mr. Bryant came to the conclusion that he could not riccnso the company to do busi ness In Nebraska unices the corporation limited Its existence to a term of years. He has to decide upon his own judgment , backed by the opinion of the attorney general and concurrence of the governor. Similar requests are often made by new In surance companies. The case of the State against the Omaha National Bank was argued and submitted to the supreme court this afternoon.
