geant-at arms, and the officers, and the
police, we're simply as leaves in the
tempest of popular excitement, one
lifted finger of the great Nebrasksn
could bring almost instant stiffness to
the turbulent enthusiasm which all
the organized forces of the democratic
convention could not control.
No man has ever seen Bryan-the
real Bryan-nnless he saw him 1T st.
Louis. Those who have seen him else
where have seen the great but tranquil
teacher, preaching in patience and bid
ing his time. Those who saw him at
ST. Louis saw Bryan at his best and
greatest with all the lion aroused by
opposition and Offense, and his marvel
Gus eldqnence winged to its l0ftiest
flight by the occasion and the emer-
gency. And to have seen Bryan at his
hest was to have seen the world s best
at his best
For no man living and few men dead
have ever looked upon SO peerless an
orator, 80 incompatible master of
assemblies, as Bryan at st. Louis. The
delegates before him were iron. pledged,
predetermined, inaccessible and in
movable. But If any one thousand
men could have been selected from
that vast assemblage, or brought into
that vast assem- blage, with open minds
and unrestricted wills, and given for
an hour to this matchless leader of
men, he could have swayed and led
them as DemOsthenes moved the
Athenians 10 March against Philip,
to conquer or die
When the student of oratOry in art,
or the student of popular leadership i'll
expression, seeks in the future an illus
trntion to make immortal on canvas
or In description, he will find the ideal
in the great Nebraskan, who was the
unchalleaged and unequalled hero OF
the democratic convention of 1904.
Next to Bryan, and in most things
equal to him. was Bailey, OF Texas.
II is really great man, poised. bal
anced, powerful, impressive, almost
majestic in his dignity and strength.
lis lishtest word was impressive to
the convention. His dignity, his fair
ness, his splendid frmness and his
great lucid brain left it's impress wher-
ever it touched. 1t was one of the dis
appointments of the convention that
he did not speak.
John Sharp Williams lost rather
than gained by the st. Louis parlia-
ment. AS a presiding officer he aid not
measure up. He lacked dignity and
impressiveness. His voice was poor.
ii is manner did not win. He had the
poor taste and the poorer tact to assail
Bryan after Bryan had fallen in line
with his party. And Bryan. who could
have demolished him in a speech, sim.
ply killed him by answering never a
word.
Lord, how much there is to say, and
how hard it is to stop when writing OF
this historic convention.
But l must stop somewhere, and

THE ROYAL AMERICAN ASS ABROAD

Recently brother in law of Pres!-

dog, as we'll as the dog maid, we're
crossing the Atlantic on the steamer
Lombardia On this, as other steam
ers, there are First and Second class
passengers. This distinguished patty
of asses and dogs put on many airs,
that is they put Oh great deal Of dog.
Among other things they went TO the
captain and complained that second
class passengers were allowed on the
Ell and demanded that this be prOhib
tied. The result was that second class
passengers were, on account of the
presence of these big dogs, prohibited
the upper deck-an occurrence, it
seems, never before known on that
steamer. 1t was also required of the
under officers by the captain, that they
take Off their caps to the party in
clndlng the "dOg maid,'' not on her
ing the dog, of the wife, of the brother
in-law, of President Roosevelt. Among
those travelling as second class passen-
gers and who were held unworthy to
come into, or unfit to be near the Roy
al asses and dogs aforesaid, were art
teachers, art students. and teachers
in public schools, going abroad for a
summers outing, and others-persons
by birth and training the peers, if not
the superiors, of the snobs mentioned.
This report comes to us from pas
senger on the Lombardia, and we know
it is true. What do decent Americans
think of this +? Do they not quake with
Indignation, will they by their votes
encourage it further? Will they by
eIecting Roosevelt set their stamp of
approval on thing SO disgusting ?
We hope not.

mountains until six O'Clock when the
most enjoyable part of the evening
came.
A delightful supper was spread on
