In a signed criticism Thomas f.. Wat
son pays attention TO Mr.. Bryan as a
lecturer. He writes:
without entering into any discussion
Of the merits OF the Bryan lecture. We
must beg TO enter our dissent from the
proposition that oratory as a natural gift
submits 10 the laws of locality or liter
airy geography. When am orator deyotes
his life TO one department of speaking
he may not %ominently succeed I'm others
~ he comes 10 them late. This is be-
cause his mind may have acquired q GER
tain rigidity. a want Of suppleness 10 bend
itself TO different tastes. channels OF
thought and modes Of expression: but We
annot think hat one who is really en-
lowed with the gift Of |eloqucncc would
find himself hercft of IL simply because
he stepped from the hastings TO the lee
turo-hall.
"a man who succeeded on a great oc-
casion. as Mr.. Bryan did az Chicago. can
not be denied the glory OF oratory. What
the exact measure of that power in him
may be IL is perhaps too early to say.
Up TO this time he has had wonderful
success with prepared speechcs-speeches
committed TO memory. I'm his extempo-
raneous speeches. however, ne has not
yet displayed n exceptional powers be
yond those OF physical and mental en-
durance. lie has not yet shown much
creative power. none OF the self-forget-
fitness and rapt inspiration Of the inn
provisator' nor has he yet shown that
he possesses pathos.
These qualities he may have. II so.
he Will take his place I'm the front rank
or 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 highest class may
Doe developed as his genius expands. If
Mr.. Bryan. however. should eventually
fail TO reach supremacy as an orator.
he will W his failure 10 the lack of
certain qualities which ne has not Yet
displayod-Overmastcring passion. the gc-
MUS of spontaneous creation In the heat
of speaking. deep pathos which melts ard

cnce think Of the subject rather han of
