BRYAN AS AN ORATOR,
He Is Young Yet, and May Improve,
Says MIR. Watson.


T. Il. W.. in Peoples Party Paper.
A man who succeeded on a great occa-
sion as Mr.. Bryan did at Chicago cannot
be denied the glory of oratory. What the
exact measure of that power in him may
be, it is, perhaps, too early to say
Up to this time, he has had wonderful
success with prepared speeches-speeches
committed to memory.
In his extemporaneous speeches, how
ever he has not yet displayed any ex-
ceptional powers beyond those OIL physi-
cal and mental endurance.
He has not yet shown much creative
power; none of the Undergraduates and
rapt inspiration of the improvisation. Nor
has he yet shown that he possesses pa
thos
These qualities he may have; if so he
will take his place in the front rank of
orators, without challenge.
He Is yet young, and his mind will,
perhaps, grow for twenty years yet, and
every quality of oratory of the very high
est class may be developed as his genius
expands. Ii Mr.. Bryan, however, should
eventually fail to reach supremacy as an
orator. he will owe his failure to the lack
of certain qualities which he has not
yet displayed-over- mastering passion, the
genius of spontaneous creation in the
heat of speaking. deep pathos which
melts, and the self oblivion which makes
the audience think OF the subject rather
than of the orator.
