lawyer. otherwise he would scarcely

as the editor of the Omaha World
Herald a man with the capacity TO
handle the business affairs of the ma
ton would scarcely fail, as practis-
ing lawyer to be in demand among the
business men of his own city.
The plain fact is that MIR. Bryan is
not a business man. He is without
method. and lacking in powers of or
ganization. He does not possess the
patient application and grasp of de-
tail that combine decision with en-
ergy. and make men strong in the con-
duct of affairs. In short he is con-
spicuously and painfully lacking in
faculty." His whole career establishes
these facts we think beyond any pos
sble question.
During the st. Louis convention Mr.
Bryan occupied prominent seat
among the newspaper men. and es-
saycd to do duty as a reporter; but it
was evident that he wrote little. and
talked much. He was an uneasy man
in his seat and not only did little him
self, but made it difficult for those i'm
mediately about him to do much.
Personally he is fine looking man.
of athletic build. and evident physical
energy. He impresses one as having
an alert and active mind. combined
ment. He is said to have a wonder
fully retentive memory. and to COM
binc with an attractive personality,
and rare gift of expression. strong
and pleasing voice.
Such is the man whom the Popo-
Gratis have selected as their standard
bearer. a man of brilliant surfaces,
and marked powers of expression, he
is well calculated to present fallacies
to the popular mind in an attractive
form, and to make prejudice usurp
the place of reason. He has never yet
made a speech that exhibited depth
of thought or that would stand the
analysis of deeper and more logical
minds. The utter shallowness of his
alleged reasoning. and the absurd fall
lacy of his conclusions. We're so thor
oughly demonstrated in Congress by
Hon. Thomas d. Reed and Hon. Nelson
Dingley. Jr., that whatever influence
his gift of spread-eagle oratory had
secured him in that body was thor
oughly destroyed.
Mr.. Bryan is not a man who wears
well. He was elected to Congress the
first time by some 1000 majority. The
second time he ran he squeezed in by
a paltry majority of la. and he de-
clined a third nomination when it was
evident that. 1t meant nothing but
defeat.
So much for Mr.. Bryan as regards
his personal characteristics, and pub
lie career.
His private life is said to be without
reproach, and in this respect he COM
pares favorably with the Republican
candidate.
We can conceive of no greater ca
lamity that could befall this great
republic than the elevation Of this

The Duty OF Republicans.

Politics are certainly mixed" this
year. The Republican party has taken
square ground for the protection of
American industry for an honest cur
rency and the maintenance of nation
al integrity. The organization of the
Democratic party was captured by it's
populistic wing and a ticket nomi-
mated upon practically populistic
platform which calls for the debase-
er time worn hcresics that have been
gathered together to form the Populist
creed. 1t is now evident that the bet
ter element of the Democratic party
cannot be brought to endorse Bryan
and Sewar. Many of them will vote
for Mckinley. Others will support
the straightout Democratic ticket,
which there is reason to believe will
be nominated by a convention called
for that purpose in the near future.
Mr.. Bryan was confident that these
disaffections would be more than made
good by securing the endorsement OF
the Populist convention So far as he
is personally concerned this wish has
been gratiiied; but his running mate
Mr.. Sewall, has been turned down by
the st. Louis long hairs. Another
complication not foYeseen by Mr.. Bry-
an appears likely to grow out of the
Populst conclave at ST. Louis. Their,
was in that gathering a large ant
active minority, particularly from thu
Southern states, who were bitterly OPP
posed to the endorsement of the Dem
ocratic candidates These men VIII,
called themselves middle Of the roa,
Populists, felt that the adoption of th
Democratic candidates meant the los
of their party identity, and the prac
teal absorption of their political or
ganiAation by the Altgeld and Tillma1
faction of the Democracy. An at
tempt was made to mollify ther
by the endorsement of Bryan. and tn
rejection of Sewall. for young an
frothy Southerner by the name c

There is reason to believe that thi
move will not be successful. and tina
