BRYAN A REPUTATION.

tFrom a Speech by Ex-senator John T.
Ingalls.)
Our friend William Jennings Bryan,
in his perepatetic peregrinations
through the Eastern states, makes the
statement that there is no longer any
opportunity for the poor man. / de-
nounce as unpatriotic, as un-Ameri-
can and as unworthy of American
craftsmanship, the statement that
there is or ever has been in the United
States any class based upon distinc-
tion of property or of favoritism in
legislation. There has never been a
man prominent in civil or military
life who has not sprung from the
hupblest and lowest walks of Ameri-
can so~;Atas
II sat, l3ts and gentlemen, at the
IreIlortrs' table at the ST. Louis Re
-leublican convention, as the represen-
tative of daily newspaper, writing
letters by which to earn my daily
bread Not far from me, at the same
table, sat William jennings Bryan, en-
gagged in similar capacity. He had
then no more thought of being nom
mated by his party as its candidate
for the presidency than had of being
nominated by my party as its candi-
date for the presidency. William Jen-
nings Bryan was then barrister
without brief; an attorney without
a client; he was so poor that 1 have
heard it said that if suits of ready
made clothing were selling at 1 cent
each he could not have bought the

He was opposed at Chicago by the
most formidable combination CT
wealth and political skill that ever
has been formed in American politics.
There was William C.. Whitney with
his millions; there was David 3. Hill
with his knowledge of New York pol
tics; there was Wnlam Russell, late
governor of Massachusetts. Nearly
every great leader of that historical
organization was arrayed against the
nomination of William Jennings Bry-
an. And yet, poor as he was, against
the most formidable combination ever
formed, by dint of the faculties and
powers that he possessed, unaided, ex-
cept by his own genius, by one dazzl-
ing effort, when he saw the opportun-
ity he clutched it and obtained by one
brief speech the greatest political
prize that has fallen to any man of his
years since American civilization was
established.
And yet William Jennings Bryan,
of all others is the man who has
preached to American citizens the doe
trine that opportunities have been
foreclosed to the young and poor!

Men and women are but
older children and enjoy re-
ceiving gifts quite as much as
the little tots. Some mothers
and wives enjoy baubles;
others of a more frugal turn of
mind appreciate something for
the table or home generally.
We have heard of ladies who
hung up their stocking, ex-
pecting to find a box Of bon
bons in it on awakening, but
instead, were gratifed to find
a set of French China. We
do not advise this, because,
unless the stocking is especially
strong it is apt to be injured.
