The die is cast-Bryan is de-
feated-the Democratic party is
shattered, and Grover Cleveland
was truly happy on his duck hunt.
But even in defeat, Bryan stands
as far above Cleveland in mag
nanimity of soul and true loyalty
to Democracy, as Chimborazo
rises above the mushrooms at its
base, or as high as the eagle,
breasting its bosom upon the
storm~clouds in its flight, scars
above the housing owl. that hides
its ugly self in midnight dark
ness. Bryan may have made his
mistakes-and the Banner thinks
he did, and was not in favor
OF his re- nomination but he has
made . true, brave and loyal fight,
and goes down in defeat, with the
admiration of his party and friends
and the respect Of his enemies.

no difficulty of choice. In this
