.I1 TIRED BOY ORATOR.

The Boy Orator is going to take a rest and give the dear people rest
 He and they need rest. He and they have had a hard time since greatness was thrust upon him. He has felt obliged to try to live up to the situa
 tion in which he found himself and he has done his best. And that best has been a flat and melancholy failure. They say he doesn't know it yet, but he is the only one who doesn't. It will dawn upon him by and by and then he will be even more tired than he is now
 What he will do to set himself up again remains to be seen. He will have to do something, or he will lose even the reputation of being Boy Orator. Everybody is wondering how he has managed to damage that reputation as he has damaged 1t during his queer tour formance in Madison Square Garden. A plausible explanation is given by the Courier, which is published at Lincoln, where the Boy Orator lives. That paper says: AS a matter of fact, M,
 Bryan never made an impromptu speech in his life-at least none that attracted any attention. It is known that he spent weeks and months on his two great speeches in Congress, and it has been shown that the essential features of his Chicago speech have been used by him in many previous speeches. Whenever he has appeared in this State he has had ample time in which to prepare himself, and he has always acquitted himself well. But since the Chicago convention there has been an unusual demand upon MT. Bryan. In his boyish zeal to take his nomination out and show it to the rest of the boys he plunged into a spectacular tour commencing at Salem, Illinois. He has spoken al- most daily since, so constantly that he has not had time for preparation, and his most ardent admirers will admit that the only thing that character izes these addresses was their medi- ocrity.
