The wonderful exertions of the
late campaign have not rested very
heavily upon Bryan's broad 6houl
ders. He looks several years older
than when he was nominated, but is
in the best of health. His throat,
however, is troubling him, due some
what to a cold.
"I made three speeches at Lin-
coin Saturday," said he, ''and my
throat troubled me more that day
than any time during the campaign.
I think it will be all right again in a
few days, however. There is noth
ing serious the matter with it "
Bryan necessarily understands
that he is the leader of the great
free silver movement, although said
yesterday: do not attempt to
pose aB the leaded of any movement.
Tbe free silver movement ia great
enough and Btrong enough to go
right on without a leader." Bryan
is aware that tbe enemies of silver

an will have no difficulty in keeping
alive the agitation for the free com
age of silver, if one may judge any
thing of the strength of the senti
ment still existing throughout tne
country by the number and character
of the letters he is receiving.
Their number has steadily increas
ed since the result of the election
became known. Three thousand
were received today.
They came from representatives
of all grades and conditions of so
ciety, and from every State in the
Union, and the great majority con
gratulate Mr. Bryan on tbe splendid
fight be made, and assure him of the
writer's undyiog devotion to tbe
cause he represents and their desire
to at once re onliet under his banner.
These assurances are gratifying to
Mr. Bryan, and he tries ti answer
personally as mush of the corres
pondence as possible. Letters are
attended to by two secretaries, who
are now about two days behind their
work.
