Wabasha Herald: The st. Paul

Of ingratitude, because at St. Louis

It's refreshing to learn that Mr.. Lind

everything that was any good went to
republicans, who took great pains in
giving it out that they were ap-
pointed because competent democrats
could not be found. However that q

EVEN BELMONT,

EVEN BELMONT.
Walter Wellman says in the Chicago
Record Herald:
Bryan may carry home with him
the satisfaction that If he is no longer
the leader Of the party he is at least
the most interesting personality, the
greatest orator. the finest and most
fascinating figure In that organiza-
ton. In this convention Of oratory, in
this gathering Of thousands, where it
seemed that every other man had as
plrations Of winning fame as q public
speaker, Bryan was easily first. None
other got into his class. He stood
alone, and probably will stand alone
for years to come as the greatest and
most artistic performer In the coun.
try. Some Of the men from the East
who never before had heard him SPEAK
were dumfounded by this western
magician before them.~ Nov un.
deretsnd the secret of Bryan'e
power commented August Belmont,
who for the first time heard the peer
less speaker. "Why, the man is q

This is what Norman E. Mack
national committeeman from New
York, and one Of the original Parker
men, says about the absence of gold
plank in the democratic platform:
The real. simple truth of the failure
to put gold plank In the platform
is this: 1t would have resulted in q
minority report being presented to the
convention, and If that had been done
we would have been beaten, and
judge Parker would not have been
nominated. The injection of gold
standard plank would have been
looked upon by number Of states as
reputation Of the platforms Of 1895
and 1900. and that they WOULD NOT
TOLERATE.

THE STONE WHICH THE BUILD
ERS REFUSED.

John Stone Pardee of the Red Wine
Argus attended the st. Louis conven.
tion. These are his impression
Of the greatest figure there:
But the honors Of the convention
were Bryan's. He was the ono great
figure in the convention who dwarfed
all Others He doomed large above the
horizon of mere party politics. He
made his adversaries seem inept and
frivolous before he gave a word IL
answer to their challenge. He stood af
q rock rooted and grounded in eter.
nal principle against which winds Of
opinion and waves of prejudice beat
and buffeted in vain.
Bryan alone was heard by the vasI
assembly. Others rose, got attention
for moment and were soon lost il
the buzz Of Indifference. Bryan came
to the rostrum and the great cavern
of the Coliseum became as still as 8
church while the throng hung upon
his words. Here was the tribute to 9
commanding personality.
He spoke like an angel, casting
aside all pettinees and elf-seeking. Al

Peace. And the multitude heard hin
gladly.

Judge Corrigan is a type of the

The now famous telegram created
great excitement, especially among the
southern delegates. Even in the
Minnesota delegation it is reported
that Rosing, a staunch Parker man
felt like nominating Bryan. Tillman
and Vardaman ragged for a time, Tut
during the adjournment it was de-.
cided that under the circumstances
the best thing to do was to recoenfze
the inevitable. The rest everx bodv
knows.
One Of the shattered idols Of the oc.
casion was John Sharp Williams.
whose address as temporary chairman
could hardly be heard by those near
him. and whose outbursts Of petulance
exhibited in several places greatly
disappointed those who had through
the press learned to admire him. II
is possible that the rough treatment
his carefully prepared platform re.
ceived In the resolutions committee
nettled the Southerner. Senator
Bailey intimated that the "pride OF
paternity should not stand in the
way of boiling down the platform.
