A Chance for oratory.

MIR. Bryan will be one OF Nebras-
ks's delegates at large at the demo
cratic national convention. He won
by an overwhelming majority in the
Omaha primaries, where the reor
aanizsrs expected to name the dele
gates. There will be an opportun
ity at the st. Lcuis convention for
some frey speeches delivered on the
spur of the moment, for no one can
tell what . second will bring forth
in the gathering that meets without
issues, and with . purpose, it is sup
posed, TO disown its platforms Of
1895 and 1900. Mr.. Bryan says he
will make an uncompromising tight
on that point. He will find many
delegates In the convention who
voted against him on the strength Of
the money question, and its element
with recruits, expects to name the
democratic ticket. The New York
politician who in 1896 was q dem

equal in the convention. He will

and influence in that body outside
of his devoted followers. 1t will be
impossible to put him down or side.
track him. He will force full
hearing in spite Of ordinary devises
to get rid of q disturbing factor.
The Bryan position is that the demo
crats who voted against him, reject
ing the platforms Of 1896 and 1900,
shall not now control tho party.
Their triumph, it is believed, can
Knot be so veiled that Mr.. Bryan will
submit to it. It is said that Brvan's
