BRYAN'S NEWSPAPER.
THE "EVENING POST," OF LINCOLN, SHUTS DOWN.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 30.—The Evening Post, which was owned by W. J. Bryan's private secretary, and has been operated for two years as a free silver organ, to-day closed up its office doors and ceased publication. In its farewell notice to the public the paper says that it succumbs because of "a persistent tendency on the part of gross receipts to fall below the gross expenditures." It further explains that this is a malady to which many other "reform" newspapers have fallen victims, and intimates that the silverites are not loyally supporting their official organs.
