Lincoln, Neb., July 13.—The date, August 8, on which Mr. Bryan is to receive notification of his nomination by the democrats, is satisfactory to him. It is doubtful if he will leave Lincoln much before that time, though he does not himself know just what his programme will be. He does not, however, expect to make any speeches in advance of his notification. Mr. Bryan is spending much of the time in his library with his stenographer working on material for the campaign. Charles A. Towne has been with him part of the time. Many of the state politicians called on Mr. Bryan this morning.
