Hon. ". j. Bryan.

The Hon. William Jennings Bryan
is a fine looking young man with
classic features and a good voice.
He is a dramatic and impetuous son
of the plains, As women go into es.
tacies over fine tenor in an opera,
so the Chicago convention went wild
over the voice of Bryan His speech
did not contain line or a sentence
that was above the ordinary or com.
monplace, and exhibited no depth Of
reasoning or information. 1t was
simply an Ingenious appeal to senti-
ment aud prejudice, and the cireum-
stances were such as to set it off in
the most dazzling light. Bryan knew
the verDacular Of the silverites He
understood bow to appeal to their
preiudices. He could, to use Il slang
phrase, "hit them right where they
lived" every time. Ho had made
speeches in Congress, but considering
them aside from their merits as elo.
cutioaary efforts they attracted no
/ attention. He vas regarded simply
as o fireIy axtremest But AT Chi.
cago it was different There was q
molly throng of medioers men, who
had been excited for a week, and had
not time to think a RATIONAL thought

The Marrow of the Issue.


William Mckinley struck the mar.
row of the great issue before the peO.
pie of the United States in a quite re.
cent speech, when he said "Finan.
cial dishonor is the threatened dan.
ger now, and good men will obliter-
ate old lines of party in a united ef-
foEt to uphold American honor; -
Mr., Mckinley states the issue in
nutshell. There is but one peril that
now threatens the great free govern
ment of the world. A powerful par
ty has grown up, largely inspired by
the demagogic appeals to the people
who have been suffering from severe
business conditions, that openly pro-
claims its purpose to dishonor the
credit of the Republic aud to bring
convulsion and panic into every chan
mel of industry and trade by the de.
struction of private credit.
Until 1896 no formidable organi.
zation under any name ventured tc
declare that the money of the country
should be deliberately debased to
one.half its value for the purpose Of
paying the debts of the nation and o
individuals in oue.half the money
contracted to be paid by the debtors
While the theories OF the CHEAP
meney advocates have directly tended
to that end, never until now has The
flag of repudiation and dishoncr beer
unfurled and openly foated over a
national organization that will GER
tainly poll several millions of votes
This is fearful menace to the dig
nifty and integrity of the Republic
and Mr.. Mckinley is entirely right
in declaring that financial dishono
is the threatened danger now" AM
that it should summon all good citi
zens sin a united effort to uphol,
American honor"
Mr.. Mckinley has come squarel
up to the issue as it has been pre-
sented by those who seek to ovel
throw the integrity of the nation, an
, he thus proves himself worthy of tn
united support Of all who wish st
uphold American honor" PhiHc

cordance with past party rules by the
Republican candidates for Congress

eral Elkin is one Of the brightest

is no mistake, but on the contrary is
en- exceptionally wise one that will

Mr.. BRYAN should have care.
Since his nomination at Chicago the
wife Of his bosom, whose graces have
been painted by many admiring
hands, has been making from two TO
three speeches to limited audiences
each day upon semi.political topics.
Indeed, when Mr.. Bryan himself has
net been Grating Mrs. Bryan has
been having herself interviewed, and
several times already they both have
been going it at one and the same
moment. We submit that this is too
perilous a policy for any candidate
to adopt. The danger from it is two
fold. If it does not result in Mr.
BTyan's awakening some morning tC
find that he has put his foot in his
mouth, it is likely to demonstrate
that Mrs. Bryan has performed tha
delicate service for him. And agar
there is the danger that the lady
aggressive views may give rise to tb,
belief that she is the real Populis
candidate. There is a sweet. voicet
but silent woman living out at Can
ton, o., whom the Nebraska lad,
might initiate proftably for a time.

Hill and Russell had just walloped
them, aud Pitchfork Tlllman had
wearied them. Then arose this au.
dacious youth from tho plains The
occasion, the man, the temper Of the
brain tagged audience, was right.
His speech fit exactly, and as re-
ward for the refreshing innovation
they nominated him for President.
Mr., Bryan was thirty.six years OF
age last May, and has served two
terms in Congress, where he was re-
garded as a mau Of ordinary calibre.
In Nebraska he has long been in de-
mand as a commencement and 4th OF
July orator, but when statesmen were
being considered Bryan was not

These are not all Eastern sound

THE Socialists aud Anarchists of
the country are greatly pleased with
Mr.. Bryan's denunciation of the Su.
preme Court for its decision 10 the
income tax case. They propose to
vote for him solely because he has
proclaimed himself the enemy of the
highest tribunal in the land. But is
not this very good reason why every
law.abiding citizen should vote
against him?

ers, assigned to William Gray; Henry
M. Hoslck the best known and oldest
