A Pen Sketch Of Bryan.

While Republican orators and
editors befate VIM. J.. Bryan and
denounce his doctrines, few Of them
have the hardihood to attack his per-
sonal character which is indeed above
reproach. McClure's Magazine gives
this delightful sketch OF the good
man:-"The first impression one
receives of the man, and the last i'm
preston to fade, is that of youth
not the youth of immaturity not
the youth of mad vanity and folly;
but the youth OF the bridegroom
coming forth from his chamber, re-
joicing as a strong man the youth Of
hope, OF enthusiasm, Of bright eyes
that indicate a good liver and reflect
a brave soul. All the lines of the tall
figure that inclose over 200 pounds
of wholesome flesh and blood are lines
of young manhood. Although
Bryan s hair is receding from his
brow, no wrinkles mark it, and be-
meath it is a Welsbach smile, clear
and steadfaet and cheerful as the
sunrise. At home, in his office, or in
the street, that smile is winning. It
is its owners. talisman.
Back of the broad chin is a strong
jaw under jaw a neck obstinate as d
Turks slopes into a pair of as diplo-
matte shoulders as ever saved an Irish
mans head from a blackthorn stick.
Bryan's figure is all Irish. His loose,
hanging arms are Irish. His sturdy,
well-pegged legs are Irish. And
there's a Irish grandsire,--who
used to smoke o clay pipe probably
and he likes to come back and rest
his bones, that have been under the
"ould sod these hundreds Of years,
by sitting on the small OF his grand
sons back to view the world from
across his gradson's elevated knees.
Doubtless il the scion would take 3
little something at such times, the
ancestors would come out of the past
and give the young man a philosophy
that would smils with the world at
its weaknesses and shortcomings.
But Bryan is a sober and virtuous
man who neither smokes, drinks,
cheWs nor swears. So the old one
keeps his place and listens while his
offspring signs at the misery and
W~ickedness and woe of this melan-
choly world.
Clothe a handsome figure in a black
~tailcoat, and under the awning OF a
black SLOUGH hat put a low-cut vest,
with two studs fastened through the
front of awhile shirt, tie q black
J string tie, the inevitable. neckgear Of
the young lawyer ten years ago,
under a lay-down collar; modify the
chill atmosphere Of the bar by the
breezy a~miability OF a st. Louis shoe
drummer, repressed while he sells a
methodist deacon a bill of goods, and
the gentle reader may have d fair
idea Of how Bryan looks, acts, moves
and his being when he is not before
an audience.

DIVISION FATAL.

It is intimated that Hennepin
county will not unite upon Robert
G. Evans for senator. Very well,
providing Hennepin had rather lose
the senatorship than have Mr..
Evans for senator. The Republic
cans of the state at large are not
inclined to thrust honors of this or
any other kind, upon Minneapolis
unless their fellow partisanS show
a better disposition to be united
for the benefit of the party than
has been shown during the past
four years. In the matter OF the
succession to Senator Davis it is
pretty generally conceded that
Minneapolis has, in equity, the best
claim; but to support that claim
the country members must be as
sured that there is a unified party
in that city-that the party IN the
state will be strengthened, not
weakened by such recognition OF
the claims of our greatest city.
Ramsey appreciates the fact that
her candidate has a strong hold
upon the confidence and regard of
the country-not stronger, how
ever, than Mr.. Evans's, but far
stronger than that of any other
man Hennepln can present. A di-
vision in the Hennepin delegation,
in the judgment of the HERALD,
will be fatal to any candidate from
that county. Mr.. Evans, with
Hennepin's solid delegation for him
is the strongest man in the state.

James A. Tawney, member Of
congress from the first district Of
Minnesota, is entitled to the. thanks
of the farmers of the United States
for the splendid fight he has made
in the interest of the dairying in
terest-for honest butter and
cheese. He stoutly and persist
emily fought to successful termi-
nation in the house, the so-called
Grout bill, which imposes tax OF
ten cents pound upon oleomarga-
rine, colored to initiate butter.
Millions ofpounds of this fraudulent
imitation of butter have been put
upon the market annually at cost
of four or five cents a pound, in
competition with the best butter.
The tax proposed is practically
prohibitive, and the dairyman's
worst enemy will be effectively
killed providing the senate will
pass the bill-and it probably will.
Dairymen all over the country are
singing the praises of Mr.. TaWney

The parlors in which the wedding
ceremony was performed were decora-
ted with American Beauty roses and
tropical plants. The bride was escort
ed by her father to the Impoverished
chancel, which had been erected in the
bay window. She was attended also
by Miss Lillian Claughton, the only
bridesmaid. They were met at the
chancel by the bridegroom and his
best man, John Dysart of Henderson,
KY, formerly a resident of Owatonna,
MINI.
The bride wore an imported gown of
ivory white crepe de chlue, with tulle
garniture and appliques of white
panne velvet. She carried a shower
boquet of lilies of the valley, and wore
the gift of the bridegroom, hand
some heart-shaped locket in blue
enamel and gold encrusted with pearls
suspended on delicate gold chain.
Her tulle yell was fastened with
orange blossoms. Miss Claughton s
gown was of pearl gray chiffon over
armure silk, with heavy insertions en-
circling the skirt. She carried La
France roses.
The wedding was witnessed by a
small gathering of relatives and
friends. A wedding breakfast was
followed by reception which was at
tended by the congressional delega-
ton and other Minnesotans in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Boobar, the bridegroom, is
librarian of the house Of representa-
tives. He was formerly member of
the Minnesota legislature and came to-
Washington as secretary to Repre-
sentative Morris, afterward being
promoted to his present position.
