Pearls of Truth.
Lik wine, Bryan becomes better
with age. His speeches grow constant
ly better. The brain power and the
oratorical capacity of no other man
tnat ever lived have been put to as
severe q test as his. For six years he
mas probably averaged one speech a
Gay. 10 four years all of his speeches
nave been sent broadcast over the
land by the Associated Press, and vet
he never repeats himself and never
says anything out Of which the OpDo-
sltlon press can make capital. He is
the Wonder of the age and appears to
DE a fayorite Of heaven. His reception
n New York was proof positive Of the
change of public sentiment in the east
and OF how thoroughly he has conquer
ed the respect and won the admiration
of his quondam political foes.
His speeches in New York were stud
ded with pearls Of truth, cloquence and
philosophy. Here are a few words Ut
tered by him which are q complete ref
utation Of all the campaign lies hatch
Ell and proDagated by Republicans:
Honest wealth need not fear the Dem
ocrats. No honest industry, no honest
occupation, no honest man, need fear
the success of the Democratic party.
deny that the wealth producers of this
country are enjoying their share of the
governments protection" Nothing
could be in better taste or stated more
fOrciDly or more effectively. The pow
er of concise definition, of luminous *.
preston, is the secret Of all persuasive
or convincing public speaking. This
power Bryan possesses in a larger de-
gree thar any other man of his gen
contemporaries of any generation.
Adlai Holdin. Up His End.
Nor is your Uncle Adlai a SLOUGH upon
the stump or "a deadhead in the enter
prise" to borrow the euphemistic Ian
guage of Hon. James c.. Blaine. No
your Uncle Allai appears to be holding
up his end Of the handSpike in great
s~hape-inmost approved fashion. Cncle
Adlai has the peculiar good luck to rur
for an office when it is a Democratic
year, which as much as anything else
leads me to believe that the Democrats
will win this load of poles" Uncle
Adlai is in every way worthy n wei
qualified, duly and truly prepared fol

also for the higher Office to which hi
will be heir apparent when he is elect
ed vice president. as he will be On tht
9th day of November. Uncle Adlai j:
q sterling Democrat, q tiptop cam
paigner and always measures up to tn
requirements of II office he is calico
upon to fill.
While Bryan's oratory has been great
~ exploited, as was natural and right
Uncle Adlai's has been neglected to
large extent. But here is q sampi
from Uncle Adlai which is terse il
style and full of meat:
