A Study of William j. Bryan

illustrated in the nomination tor the
presidency of William Jennings
Bryan, who was selected at Chicago
on the 10th of July last to lead the
national democracy in the quadren-
nial battle for national supremacy.
Mr.. Bryan was not national figure
prior to his speech at Chicago. He
had won, it is true, fame Of a
tentative sort, through his brilliant
speeches IN congress and his
strrngth as an advocate of silver on
the stump and forum in the South
and West. But his youth and his
comparatively circumscribed flight
across the horizon of publicity kept
his name from figuring in the list
of possibilities. But, to paraphrase
Bourke Cochran, "his nomination
was SO much an improbability as
to become possibility" Chance
gave him the opportunity to place
the impress of his oratorical power
upon the convention, and he proved
his claim to greatness by rising to
the occasion. His speech won him
the nomination on the following
day.
One of the charges brought
against Mr.. Bryan, in denial of his
fitness for the presidency, is that ne
is young. This is undeniable. He,
himself, admits it, and the family
Bible is a mute witness to the truth
of The charge. Mr.. Bryan has the
distinction of being the youngest
man ever nominated for the presi-
dency, and in fact is barely a year
beyond the tbirty-hve-year age
limit OF the constitution. But, not
withstanding his youth, he had
before his nomination for the
presidency achieved honors that
have come to but comparatively
few men in life.
He was very young, but thirty,
when he was first elected to con-
gress, and had the honor during his
first term of being appointed to a
place on the ways and means COM
mittee. He was even younger
when he first gained reputation as
an eloquent, cogent, and interesting
speaker.
Mr.. Bryan was born in the small
town of Salem, Illinois, on the 10Th
of March, 1860. His father was
Judge Bryan, for number of years
a judge of the circuit court which
embraced the county of Marion,
and who for eight years represented
that district in the Illinois state
senate. William Jennings Bryan
was born on farm just outside o.
Salem, and, now that he ha:
achieved distinguished honors, h,
shares the fate, common to tn,
great, of being remembered as
remarkably precocious child. The,
relate that early in life he demon
strated the possession Of wonderful
oratorical powers, and that befor
he was fairly in his teens he ha
won as a campaign speaker the It'll
that still clings to him, "the bo
orator" His father conducted h
education at home until youn
Bryan was ten years OF age. Aft
five years in the public schools
went to Jacksonville, where for tv
years he was a student in Whip
Academy. Afterward he attend,
Illinois College at Jacksonvill
where in 1881 he was graduated
the valedictorian of his clas
From there he went to Chicag
where he entered Union Law c,
lege. While student here
worked his way by laboring as
clerk in the law Office of Lynn

a week. His present law-partn

his class-mate, and relates that so
slender were their resources that
their lunch many time consisted
of nickle's worth of clackers and
apples.
He was graduated in 1883, and
the next four years saw him a
struggling young lawyer in Jack !
sonville. His class-mate, Mr.. /
Talbot, had located several years
before in Lincoln, Nebraska, and
in 1887, while Bryan was West on
legal business, he made him an
offer of partnership, which was ac-
cepted, and since then Mr.. Bryan
has lived in Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan's prediction for
politics speedily led him into the
arena, where his greatest triumphs
have since been won. In 1883 and
1889 he stumped the state for the
democratic ticket, and his star as
an orator first appeared in the
armament. His rise in politics
came about in peculiar way.
The democratic party in Nebraska
had for years been controlled by
coterie of old-line democrats, but
they had failed to achieve any
measure of success. In 1888 the
scholarly J. Sterling Morton, the
present Secretary Of Agriculture
and one of the then leaders, was
defeated by large majority in his
race for congress III the First district,
which then embraced the long
settled southeastern section of the
state. In 1890 the democratic
nomination for congress went beg
ging, and when young Bryan came
forward and asked for it it was
willingly given him by the old
guard. They had not looked with
kindly eye upon his rising fame,
and it is shrewdly suspected that
their ready acquiesence was given
more to eXtirguish the new light
than otherwise. as it was believed
that when Morton had failed no
democrat had any hope for success.
The young candidate had always
made himself the idol of the younger
element Of his party, and they gave
an enthusiastic Endorsement to his
plans. He wrote his own platform,
in which tariff for revenue and
free coinage of silver were the
cardinal planks, and entered upon
canvass now memorial in the
political annals of the state. One
of his first moves was to challenge
his opponent, Congressman w. J.
Council, 10 joint debate. Connell
was an Omaha lawyer, who had
been fairly successful in practice at
the bar, and, contrary to Bryan S
expectations, he accepted the chal-
lenge. He was, however, no match
for Bryan, and when the votes
were counted it was found that the
latter had overturned republican
majority of three thousand two
hundred and carried the district by
six thousand eight hundred.
While a resident of Illinois Mr..
Bryan had rendered yeoman politi.
cal service to Congressman Springer
and i'll the preliminary contest fol-
the speakership in the Fifty-second
congress he espoused that gentle.
mans cause. When Springer made
his terms with Crisp he rewarded
Bryan's devotion by securing him
place on the ways and means
committee. His maiden speech
was delivered March 10th, 1892, ii
u support of the Springer free-woo
bill. 1t placed him at a single
, bound in the front ranks of the
% advocates of revenue tariff. Hi:

spreading of the silver propaganda
in the west and south.
When Mr.. Bryan came to Ne
braska he wore a heavy beard and
mustache, but soon discarded
both. He has strong, clean-cut,
fne-lined face. His eye is kindly
yet piercing. His hair is raven
black, with a widening circle OF
badness upon the crown of his
head. He is atheletic in build, and
his massive head in profile is
strikingly like that of his dis
tinguished opponent, Major Nc
Kinley. A distinguishing feature
of the man is the unusual width of
his mouth, although the lips are
thin and sensitive. He is hand
some man, whose appearance be-
fore an audience inevitably attracts
instant attention and interest. The
predominant characteristics of his
countenance is fraukness. His
mental alertneSs is shown in every
movement of his eyes, his features,
his lips. His voice is strong,
resonant, pleasing, capable of any
modulation. His gestures are
graceful and easy, and before an
audience he is a cousumate actor,
his voice and body lending them
selves easily to the necessities OF
the moment. His manners are
most engaging. He never betrays
passion, but candor, earnestness,
and sincerity are the impressions
he gives to his auditors. He is
plain, simple, direct in language,
and draws his illustrations i'm.
partially from the classics and
from current history.
Mr.. Bryan is not a demagogue
his sincerity and his earnestness
are too evident. He is a man con.
WINGED that he IS the cause of the
people; that is bound to triumph
that not all the hordes Of organized
wealth can defeat that cause upot
which he believes God has placed
the seal, Just Secure in tha
conviction, he has resisted al
temptations to secure riches auc

livery of plutocracy, one Of whicl
is said to have involved the offer
from an Eastern state, of a Unitet

career, and with that end in viev
he fitted himself for discussion c

After his triumphs in congress h
dreamed of the presidency, but tn
nomination has come to him earle
than he believed likely.
Mr.. Bryan is politician of tn

should take an active interest in tn
game, and ne believes the countr
would be all the better for it if the
did. Heis adroit, active, audicious
