BRYAE's VISIT.

Mr.. Bryan has no reason to be dissatis-
fed with the reception accorded him on
either side OF San FraEcisco Bay. In Ala
media, In Oakland an in this City ne was
welcomed cordially and large crowds of
people gave an attentive hearing to what
he had 10 say. The greeting was one OF
which the most eminent public man
might we'll be proud, and it gave to SIR.
Bryan proof that not only has he many
friends here OF his own peculiar political
faith. but that he 70 well esteemed and ad-
mired for many of his qualities by Cali
fornians generally.
II the meetings and the speeches we're
somewhat disappointing TO those who
attended them there was no open mani
festation OF discomfort. Every one under
stood that Mr.. Bryan was tagged and
worn by a tiresome journey and was
hGlr:e from frequent speaking at all
times OF day in the open air. He was
therefore in no condition to exert the
mental and moral force necessary to
thrill great audiences. The nervous
vigor required for the delivery of really
eloquent Grafton was not in him. He
could do no more than talk, and IL is to
his credit that under such circumstances
he was able 70 talk sufficiently well to
keep his hearers interested.
The style, tone and substance OF the
speeches showed badly by reason OF the
lack OF fire in their delivery. They pos
sessed in themselves no excellence either
OF argume Mt or OF phrase. Not a single
thou ht was expressed in words suffi-
ciently impressive to remain in he mem
ory of those who heard IT, nor was single
sentence rounded rhy tn mically in musical
cadences TO noble and beautiful finish.
The argument was as Indifferent as the
style. The orator wandered on from point
to point. skipping from one to the other
without logical sequence or even contin-
uity Of thought.
1t Is not clear what Mr.. Bryan or his
party leaders hope te gain by :his tour
The public mind a; this time Is not in;er-
ested in party politics and the attempt at
cam paigning will not win for the Bryan
ties a single vote. The great mass of the
American people are well satisfied with
the result Of the election OF Mckinley on
a platform OF protection and bimetallism.
They see that industry ID reviving aud
pros perity is returning. A protective
tariff bill Is well advanced toward COM
petion and commission is now in
Europe arranging for international agree
ment on the silver question. Mr. Bryan,
therefore, has no cause with which the
people sympathizs, and since he is so
hoarse and tagged 1t would be we'll for him
to abandon his la Dor in vain OF stumping
the State and settle down in San Fran
cisco for the summer.
