The National Magazine tnr Februar:'

on '.rhe Fail OF Richmond by
Ca2tola Enerv. There are some coed
wartime Illustrations. including scenes
in and around the city Immediately after
the war, and an excellent likeness of
General Lee. from a photograph taken
only few weeks prior to the surrender.
The article is concluded with the follow
ing significant words:
Some days later. General Sheridan had
reason to pass through Richmond. The
shutters of the Lee residence were Closed,

saluted with demonstration of sword and
coor~ or military eyolutions. 1t was il

their passage through the heart OF mis-
ruined Conferetla cy.

popularity AND POPULARITY

In speaking of Mr.. Bryan's drawing
power as proof of his actual strength
with the voters of the country the Pc
tersburg lndex-Appeal observes that no
orator has ever been made President:
that 10 man of exceptional popularity
as public speaker, with the possible
exception of Mr.. Garfield, has ever been
made President: that in the lors list
| there are men of splendid deeds, of pro-
found craftsmanship. of exalted charac-
ter, but few mere speakers.
That reminds us of what Bourke
Cochran said about Cleveland in his ia
nous speech at the Chicago convention
OF 1892 He said that Cleveland was the
most popular man in The United states
except on election day. This vas not
1rue of Nir. Cleveland, as it turned out,
because in spite of Cockrans prophecy
10 the contrary, Cleveland was elected
President that year. But generally
speaking, there is point in Cock.a:.s OBJ
servation. The most popular nlen of the
hustings' are not always the most popu-
lar men Oh election day. Mr.. Bryan is
a man Of great magnetism, and, person.
ally, from all that we have heard Of him.
we would say that ne is even lovable
man. AT any rate he has the happy
faculty of enlhusing a public audience.
and he has such an apt Way o. sayi-:T-
things that at times he even gains the
applause of those who disagree with him.
During his recent visit to New England

plauded him. They applaaded his ora
tory and his HAPPY hits. But -ha,
does not amply that these goll Democrats
are going to vote for Mr. Bryan on e:ec-
ton Jay.
we may also say Of Mr.. Bryan. as
Thomas Jefferson was accustomed 10 say
! Of a certain class, that he has a talent
for turbulence Mr.. Bryan knows how
to agitate. He knows how to STIR the
people mp. He knows how to picture
the alleged wrongs of the plain people
in such way as to make the plain
people believe they arc the worst treated
people on the face of the Garth. If Mr..
Bryan could take a vote after every
| meeting he addresses. if he should, from
time to time. address all the people OF
the United States and have them cast
| a ballot Immediately after he had Cor
cluded his remarks, it is not improbable
that he would be elected President of the
United States. such a talking way has he
with the people. He fascinates them
for the time being. and makes them lose
their head. But elections are not held
| in this way. The people who hurrah
| over Mr. Bryan 80 away and think The
| working man who has a good job goes
, 10 his home and finds comforts and even
Injuries. and no begins to say within
himself: Am I SO badly treated after all?

i trust laws and all that when y am doing

very well under the gold standard?
When such a man goes to the polls to
vote he Is not under the spell of Mr..
Bryan's oratory- He> is then thinking
about y the wife and children at hptce,
and Is in 30 spirit fer illusions or dreams.
He q then his own practica! self. and
he Is apr,to cast his ballot IN a practical
way. IL
Mr. Bryan will make a brilliant cana l
date. and he VIII beat any man in the
United States going around thrilling the
people With his eioauence, but how will
II be with him on the day of election?
That is another story.
