Bryan's Collapse.

Mr. Bryan makes a good appearance
upon public platform. He is gifted
with flow of language. He has a
dramatic presence. These facts he I'M
doubtedly is well aware of His whole
public career affords evidence that he
Is, also that he likes to talk and show
himself: that he has certain kind of
vanity and derives personal pleasure
from such performances Some of the
curiosity and admiration that he has
excited has been due to the fact that he
was physically able to travel thou
sands of miles, to keep constantly on
exhibition and to talk necessarily
whenever occasion offered.
Under such conditions Bryan's visit
ito the enemy's country despite the
representations of his managers and the
dictates OF common sense can be easily
understood, likewise his performances
and subsequent collapse on the occa-
sion of the Tammany welcome, Tues
