vote of 10000
He re-entercd Congress TO fight a
new battle, tor he at once joined the
free silver forces, led by Bland, whose
first lieutenant he became. In the
previous Congress Mr. BANDS right
hand man had been Mr.. Pierce,
Of Tennessee. but he failed for re-elec-
ton. Pierce was not great orator,
but was m elective speaker and Il
skilf,.ll and adroit parliamentary gen
eral What Bryan lacked in the
latter respect he fully made up by his
lrilliancy rs a speaker, and in the
silver debates Of that Congress he laid
the foundations for his political future.
He had sided with Mr.. Bland in the
previous Congress. hut it was not until
now that he became an out-and out sill
yer leader. Before that. it had been
thought he favored free coinage because
OF a supposed strong sentiment among
his constituents favorable to this lrgi>la-
ton. But now he showed that his
heart and soul were in the cause.
FAVORED THE SHERMAN ACT.
His speech against the repeal of the
Sherman liver coinage act was one of
the most remarkable ever heard in the
House. For three hours he held the
close attention of the largest audience,
both on the floor and in the galleries,
drawn to the Capitol during that ses
sion. The oldest members of the House
followed the speech with even more
respectful interest than had been nc.
corded to MI Bland's speech few
days before. and Mr.. Bryar's most
attractive personality and his capti-
waiting eloquence fixed the attention
of hundreds present who were less
interested in the issue discussed.
When the end of his second term in
Congress approached Bryan declined
Il denomination, saying he proposed to
return to Nebraska and practice law.
1t was not long, however, before he
was announced as the editorin. chief
of the World Hcrud, of Omaha, in
which he was an advocate of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and
incidentally, it is sad, to promote his
candidacy for the United States Senate.
Another feature Of his management
was to he hostility to the Administra-
ton and all that partook of Cleveland
ism.
