MIR. BRYAN IN CANADA.

In his journey through Canada, Mir.
 Bryan touched at most of the impor- tant points in the older provinces, aud now he is back again among his own people. His Canadian meetings appear to have been we'll attended. To the society which brought him to Canada is due the thanks of those who had the pleasure of listening to the eloquent apostle of bimetallism. That it was a pleasure scarce any one who heard him will deny. It is not necessary to agree with speaker to recognize the dialectie skill, eloqnence and humor with which he presents his ideas. It is not ut all likely that Mir. Bryan made many con- verts in Canada, but there was gene- ral agreement by those who heard him that the case was as we'll put as 1t was possible to put it. The spirit which pervaded his addresses was admirable in every respect. The great majority of his hearers were doubtless agreeably surprised by Mir. Bryan's style of speech. We are accustomed to associate spreadeagleism with the orGtory in vogue among our neighbors, and every once in while a speech made in con- gress gains currency and we are con firmed in this view. Mir. Bryan is far removed from this type of "sound and fury, signifying nothing" He pays his auditors the compliment of treating them as if they were sane. His argu- ments and illustrations are addressed to rational beings. There was nothing inflated or graud;ose in lis address from beginning to end. There was indeed G fine restraint and good taste that proclaimed the literary conscience combined with rare good judgment. The references to his opponents were gentlemanly, although at times ironical.
 His humo-, his pathos, and his rhetoric were not exaggerated. His smile is infectious, his eye and whole manner bright and vigilant, his sympathies quick, and he has a quiet self-confi- dence that puts his auditors thorough ly at ease. To those who do no. believe in his doctrines it is natural to question his sincerity All that can be said is that he has the aspect of a sincere man. Toronto (Canada) Globe.
