of its oratorical effects.


broad -shouldered, athletic-built
man, with jet-black hair, clean-cut
features and close shaven face, and
bears a striking resemblance to the
late Samuel J. Randall when a
young man.
When Mr.. Bryan entered the sgd
congress he was placed upon the
committee of ways and means by
Speaker Crisp, against the protest
of a large element of the house.
Before beginning his famous speech,
the one that gained for him the
sobriquet of "the boy orator of the
Platte" he said to a friend on the
floor: II feel just little nervous
at making my first long argument
before the house. 1t is a sort of
stage fright that expect will soon
wear off. When he began his
speech, however, there was not the
slightest evidence of nervousness in
his graceful carriage or the ring of
his fine baritone voice. An hour
was given him to speak, but when
that time elapsed there was
general chorus "Go on! Go on!"
from both sides Of the house.
Members fingered in their seats
and the spectators remained in the
galleries, so intent were they in
hearing the young declaimer from
the West.
He declined the nomination for
the Saith congress, but was unani-
nously nominated for the United
States senate bv the Nebraska
democratic state convention in 1894,
and in the Legislature he received
all of the democratic votes and
nearly half of the populist votes;
but the legislature was republican,
and Mr.. Thurston received the
election 10 the senate. In Nebraska
the voters are allowed to express
their preference for United States
senator, and. as the democratic
candidate, Mr.. Bryan received
$4,000 votes in 1894. as against
$4,000 cast for Hon. ]. Sterling
Morton for governor two years
before.
Mr.. Bry an was conspicuous in
congress for his opposition to Presi-
dent Cleveland's financial policy,
and for his strong advocacy of
everything tending to encourage or
bring about free silver. He fought
the presidents proposition to retire
the greenbacks by the issue of gold
bonds, and also Mr.. Carlisle's cur
rancy plan. He took a prominent
part in the fight against the repeal
of the Sherman act, and worked
hard for the passage of the bill pro-
viding for the coinage ofthe seignor-
age.
After the adjournment of the sad
congress Mr.. Bryan spent most of
his time in the Middle and Southern
states, i'll the discussion of the silver
question. In Madison, Wis, he
debated that question with ex-Con-
gresham Hoar, with whom it was
hoped last year a debate might be
arranged during the state fair at
Salem, Oregon.
Mr.. Bryan is undoubtedly one of
the best public speakers in the
country, and is considered by many
as the cleverest exponent of free
silver among the more extreme
disciples of the white metal.
Mr.. Bryan is a man of striking
appearance, and, with his clean
shaven and extremely expressive
face, would be taken anywhere for
an actor rather than for politician.
Last September he was persuaded
to come to Oregon and speak in the

The Building Is Occupied as a
Real-Estate Office and
Fruitstore.
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING.
So Far There Is No Definite Clew to
the Perpstrator of the
Outrage.

The police are investigating what has the
appearance of an attempt to destroy a
building at 1902 Valencia street by the use
of dynamite.
The building is on the corner of Twenty
fifth street, and is occupied by j. +. Plumbe,
real-estate agent, and III. J. Watson, fruit
dealer, whose number is 1404.
About 10 o'clock Wednesday night peo-
pie in the vicinity heard loud explosion
in the building. Among those who hur-
ried to the scene were Police Sergeant John
Mooney and Policeman Young.
In the passsge-way alongside Plumbe's
Office they found a gunny-sack partly
burned and about three feet of fuse. Ten
small panes of glass in the windows of
Watson's fruitstore, which overlooked the
passage-way, were shattered, and in the
cigar-store inside the building several
sm all glasses were broken.
Sergeant Mooney sent Policeman Young
to Plumbes residence to tell him OF the
the sergeant that Plumbe did not seem to
care much and said he was not going to
the store, but gave him the key.
Almost Immediately afterward Plumbe
made his appearance and Mooney asked
him for the key to the room outside of
which the explosion had taken place.
Plumbe replied that he did not know
where the key was; that it had been hang
ing or the wall, but was not there.
Plumbe then took key he had taken
from the wall, but failed to- unlock the
door. Mooney asked him if he did not
know the key to the room and he said he
did not. Mooney then took the key from
him and unlocked the door quite easily
with if. An examination was made of the
room, but nothing was found to have been
disturbed.
The sergeant took possession of the
gunny-sack and fuse and reported the af-
fair to Captain Gillen, who sent his report
yesterday morning to police headquarters
Fire Marshal Towe was communicated
with and he went to the scene of the explo-
sion. After making an investigation he
came to the conclusion it was matter for
the police and not for him.
About the same time another explosion
occurred in the rear of 1887 Valencia street,
where a Republican meeting was being
held, but no damage was done. Plumbe Is
a prominent member of the club, bur
whether that had anything to do with
either explosion is merely matter of con-
lecture.
1t is wonder that the Plumbe building
was not wrecked, and the small amount Of
damage done is a surprise to. those who
have looked the scene over. Captain Gill
len will strain every point to unravel the
mystery.

EULOGIZED THEIR DEAD
TempIar Lodges Memorial Services
Over Members Who Have Died Since
the Lodge Was Instituted.

the Lodge was instituted
Templar Lodge OF Odd Fellows of San
Francisco held a memorial service at its
hall last evening under the proclamation
of the grand sire recently issued-conven-
ing the lodges where practicable for
such purposes. Delegations from Farms
worth Lodge, Cosmopolitan Lodge and
Morse Lodge were present.
1t being the first meeting of the kind in
Templar, reference to deceased memb bers
who had been on the rell at any time since
the institution of the lodge in 1858 was in
order; and the principal speaker of the
evening. Charles 4. Sumner, rapidly ran
over the catalogue and spoke briefly of the
character and service in the order of forty
brothers who had been among the promi-
nent workers in the lodge. He stated that
Templar Lodge had 1902 names on its
comprehensive catalogue; that during it's
existence it had disbursed over $50, 900 for
benefits and the general good OF the or
der. He sketched something of the de-
lightful entertainments which old Tenn
plar had in its lodgeroom and elsewhere
when some of the veterans named were in
attendance, etc.
Remarks were also made by s. Mckee
and by Acting Mayor Taylor, who has
been an Odd Fellow for forty years.
After addresses by members of other
lodges-Robert Burns and Henry Knobel
and others-the meeting closed with an
unusually hearty and effective singing of
the dlsrn issary ode of the order.

invariably refused to sell them any. OF
course, if on the night of the contest
women present tickets of admission we
will have to honor them, but do hope
that this Will not occur, as women would
be entirely out of place among such

Now that the Olympic Club has decided
Jim Corbett's right to 8 special room in
which to do his exercising the situation
is better defined and the members who,
heretofore, became angry because they
could not witness him at his work, are now
content.
But the courtesy granted Jim has had
no effect in decreasing the attendance at
his sparring sessions. Instead of throng
of men whom he had never met before, ne
was surrounded yesterday by friends OF
long ago and representative people.
William Greer Harrison. Jim's best
friend and supporter for years, called on
the champion during the afternoon. He
was accompanied by quite a number OF
prominent people, and although Jim had
already gone through his exercise, he went
at it again for their benefit, sparring with
Bob McCord and Van Buskirk round OF
ten minutes each and one of seventeen
minutes with George Green.
In Mr.. Harrison'S party were: Governor
Boyd of Nebraska, DIR. Brayfogle OF New
York, Colonel Lee of the United States
army, colonel Maddocks, Larry coleman,
J. I'll. Black and DR.. Whitwell.
In connection with Bob McCord, it may
be stated that when Jim Corbett started
out in his career as pugiiist he accompa-
MED the Tuxedo Company, McCord being
his sparring partner. It was during this
engagement, in 1892, that Corbett chsl-
lenged John L. Sullivan for the champion
ship of the world, and deposited $1,000 with
the New York Herald as a guarantee OF
good faith
While Corbett is receiving much atten-
ton at the hands of his friends on this
side, Tom Sharkey is also being lionized
on the other side of the bay. His quiet
ways have made him any amount OF
friends. He is training conscientiously
and well limbered up. He does not go in
very much for boxing apparently, believ-
ing that no matter how much he can i'm
prove himself he will not cut much of a
figure against the champion. But the
running he indulges in every day and the
handball he plays are doing him good and
strengthening his wind.

REPUBLICAN PARALYSIS"

In the financial plank of the Bryan
Altgeld platform it is charged that gold
ssmonometaIlism has locked fast the pros
perity of an industrial people in the
paralysis of hard times" 1t need notsbe
said that the platform makers had the Re-
publican party in mind when the above
charge was made, for the conduct of the
affairs of the country from 1873 down was
being considered.
There is no doubt at all that the Repub-
lican party is responsible for the conduct
of the Government between 1861 and 1893,
consequently it was under Republican
rule that paralysis" swooped down and
..locked fast industrial prosperity in its
devouring EN- brace. It would be hard to
say whether the paralysis charge was
made in blind, stupid ignorance, or was
prompted by hearts desperately wicked
and deceitful to the last degree, but any
way it was foolish to go on record as IN
dorsing such glaring falsenood.
Let us see how dreadfully industrial
prosperity was paralyzed by Republican
rule during the two decades following 1870.
During that period of twenty years the
value of manufactured products alone
lHeIeaSeu 10 over Y0,VOO,oOO,oVO 'AoAl poJ-
400, ,00O, 600. In 1870 the average wages per
annum paid to the several classes OF labor
engaged in manufacturing establishments
was $310 per operative and the total amount
paid was something over $500, 100000. In
1890 the average annual wages was $489
per operative and the total disbursement
was over 81. .00O. 900. co., while the capital
invested in manufacturing plants increased
from 81, 700, ,000,O00 in 1870 to sc, 200 000, 600
in 1890. 1t would seem that labor ought
to be able to stand q good deal OF that
kind of 'paralysis."
But the official report of the condition
of labor under Republican rule show other
strokes of paralysis" that were inflicted
upon labor. Since 1870 the population of
the United States has increased not far
from GA per cent, but meanwhile deposits
in savings banks have increased about $50
per cent, and the number of people max
ing deposits has increased quite 200 per
cent. In 1870 the savings banks had a
total of nearly $3.50, 600, 900 on deposit
with 1 to every "a of the popula-
tioE for depositors. In 1890 "paralyzed
labor" had over 1850. .O0o, 900 lodged in
savings banks, and the percentage was
to every Is of population.
When Mr.. Mckinley is elected the same
old paralysis" will resume business.
