New York, Aujj. 15.—After a confer-
ence with members of the Democratic
national committee it was decidcd
that Mr. Bryan should tour the conn-
try next month, addressing people at
all towns visited from the rear of a
railroad car, and the following an-
nouncement was prepared by tha
chairman of the national committee,
Senator Jones: "It has been decided
that Mr. Bryan will enter actircljr
into tho campaign about September 1
and continue on the stump until tha
election. In order to obtain a much
needed rest and to prepare the letter
of acceptance before the speech mak-
ing begins, he will spend the next two
weeks at some quiet place not yet de-
cided upon. The visit to Bath, Me.
will, therefore, be postponed until tha
latter part of September, when Mr.
Bryan will make a number of speechea
in New Englaud."
The members of the nn'ional com-
mittee felt that it would not be well
for Mr. Bryan to visit Maine prior to

apeeches by Mr. Ury an there, ss hi
had set hiB heart upon doing. Thejf
are also said to be afraid that hs will
make some mistaken in the eouras ol

cause and, though Mr. Jones an*
nouneed a general tour of the coun-
try, there it an undercurrent in ths
national committee that the best
th' ig for the Democratic cause would
be for Mr. llr.van not to make any
more speeches froiu cars.
Mr. Bryan was urged to consent to
a re-arranirement of his plana, lie
has had the policy to offer no resist-
ance to the wishes of Mr. Jones and
Mr. Oorman and will avoid Mains un-
til after that atate's election.
Mr. Bryan explained as follows hla
reasons lor leading his spcccl. in re-
ply to soUjcation of his nomina-
tion . Madiaon Square gardes:
"Knowing that it would be printed in
full. I thought It more important that
it ahou'.d reach in correct form ths
millions who will read It than that
ths delivery abould please the few
thousands who were present. It is
always unfortunate when a speaker is
compelled to read a political apeech,
but in tl.ia instance I thought It best
not to risk the errors which always
creep into the report of an extempo-
raneous speech."
Mr. Bryan applied himself this
morning to diapoaing. with Mrs.
