The Hartford Post describes Mr..
Bryan at home as being a good neigh
bor--but not great man; his ardent
followers have no faith in him." Some
where we have read that no man ever
appeared great 10 his valet: and so.
too. II Is with mans neighbors. 'Tis
distance lends enchantment to the
view. But one thing seems to be clear
from the Posts account. When Mr..
Bryan walks out upon his bit OF land
he does not require every laborer to be
cleared from the land while he walks.
The nabobs here in Rhode Island have
no use for plebeians and. so clear the
land of laborers whenever they deign
to walk. Mostly they ride.
