BRYAN'S WONDERFUL ENDUR-
ANCE.

Mr.. Bryan made sixteen speeches
yesterday, four of them-those at Sails
bury, Georgetown, Dover and Will.
ming about an hour
each. With bis exit from Maryland be
has accomplished some twelve thou
sand miles of travel during the present
campaign. Before election day he will
have exceeded his mileage record OF
1896, which was trifle over fiftt en-
thousand. At the same time he will
DOT equal his pre- sious record 10 the total
numbe of speeches delivered. The
physical endurance of Mr.. Bryan con-
tinues 10 be q matter OF woDderment.
1t is no mean order of vocal athlete
who can make % speeches ia single
day, as Bryan did in 1896. During the
recent trip through New York Of four
days be made 6S addresses-truly a
heroic performance from the strenuous
standpoint.
Mr.. Bryan is free and easy speaker
free because he USES no notes, and
easy because he never hesitates for a
word. Although be does 80 much talk
ing, it must not be supposed that it is
all on the oratorical order. Far from
it. Aud herein lies the secret. At the
small gatherings that surround the Car
platform Mr.. Bryan speaks not louder
than 10 the tone of ordinary conversa'
lion. He is fond OF gestures, and uses
them to great advantage oftentimes
when the waving arm will serve him
better than the voice. He does not At
tempt such thing as hOwiing down o
mob. IL is far easier to let it howl it.
self down.
Then Mr.. Bryan has other little al
titices to save his strength. Like Ns-
pOleoD, he is given to Cat maps on short
notice. Between stops he wastes little
energy in conversation. After the big
addresses, like the one at Baltimore,
he is treated TO q rundown and
change of linen. He neither smokes
oor drinks, but has good APPETITE. In
nis enunciation of words he is saving
even of the syllabes. In long words
ne runs the syllables together rapidly,
and he has learned tnat the vOwels
carry the sound, so he saves on conso-
1aDts. These are trifiss, but in the
aggregate they count.
