The following incidents occurreddur-
ing Mr.. Bryan's tour of Nebraska, ana
are good examples Of his keen wit. quick
repartee and scathing inyective:
Near the close OF his speech at Falls
City, a republican in the audience arose
and denied that President Mckinley de-
sires TO retain the Philippines, where
upon. without a moments hesitation
or the least show Of embarrassment.
Mr.. Bryan quoted this sentence from
one of McKinley's speeches: II cannot
permit myself TO doubt that these is
lands will be retained under the be-
nign sovereignty Of the United States"
The republican next declared that
most of the Filipinos we're in revolt
against Aguinaldo.
Are you not fattering Aguinaldo
too much," asked Mr.. Bryan, when
YOU assert that with a handful Of men
he can not only subjugate his own race,
but hold in check and Illustrate great
American army?" (Cheers)-
A third time the man broke in to de-
clare that the trade Of the Philippines
is valuable. Bryan rose to his full
height and his eyes flashed as he thun-
dered:
II dare you TO measure the lives OF
American boys and the heartaches OF
American mothers by the paltry dollars
and cents Of commerce; dare you to
do it.'
And the crowd went into veritable
paroxysm Of applause Then the man
declared that Providence was leading
