presume too much upon your toler-
ance by worshipful remarks of his
maker is always welcome visitor.
The subject of this sketch is such a
man, and the fusionists of Nebraska
are proud that the maker of this self
made man is their standard bearer.
In the year 1864, it was on the 21st
of July, as summers ripening breath

near the city of Peoria, H., a sturdy
couple of German stock. embraced
each other over the cradle Of their
second child, to whom they gave the
name of George W.
The early life of the child was not
materially different from that OF the
average young American in moderate
circumstances. He attended the schools
of his district six months in the year,
toiling as all such children must toll
during the balance of the year. Later
on he attended the normal schools at
Valparaiso. Ind, and at Dixon. H..

period of six years.

closely identified with the growth and
interests of the peoples party. He

feated, ran ahead Of his ticket, espe-

TO the esteem in which Mr.. Berge is
