ut gives the Tribune pleasure to
present herewith an excellent por-
trait of Col James L Pace, who
will in a few days retire from the

record that he will leave behind him

BRYAN ON HIS LECTURES.

replies to those who criticised his
recent venture into the lecture field,
is published with Bryan consent:
"L,ucoln, Neb Jan 8 1897 Mr..
Hugh Mlddleton-D-ar SIR. l read
few days ago an article which my
old friend, Tom Cobb, wrote in my
defense, and to day have seen your
reply to some hostile criticism.
Great occasions do not come every
day, and they cannot be maufactur-
ed A speech should be judged by
the circumstances which surround it
and By the purpose for which it is
made
My Atlanta lecture, if delivered
before the Chicago conventions would
have been failure, but no more so,
i'll my judgement, than my conven
ton speech would have been had
delivered it as lecture before my
Atlanta audience. At Chicago, my
object was to answer the arguments
which had been brought against our
platform and to impress upon the
delegates the righteousness of our
cause At Atlanta, desired to put
as clearly and precisely as possible
a few suggestions in regard to the
government, its uses and abuses.
The political friendships which
l have formed have, as a rule, been
with those who agree with me in
purpose, rather than those who
praise the manner of my speeches I
may be at fault in not giving more
attention to ornamentation but each
one has his ideals. The highest com
pliments paid me, according to my
estimate of compliments, have been
paid by those who have been enabled
to secure new arguments for their
own use.
"If my visit to Atlanta resulted in
making those present realize the
duties of citizenship and awakened
in them keener interest in the af
fairs of government, my lecture was
a success; it would have been fail
