BRYAN'S RECEPTION AT BOMBAY,

AT BOMBAY.
 As the time for selecting candidates for 1908 comes nearer, the people of the United States, especially the dem- ocrats, are turning their attention and admiration mere and more to Wm. J. Bryan, now on his tour of the world. Wherever this distinguished Ameri~ can has gone his reception has been of the most cordial character. Mir. Bryan was at Bombay, India, during the latter part of March. Concerning his presence at Bombay the Times of that city had the following to say:
 The arrival in Bombay yesterday Of Mr. William Jennings Bryan. the leader of the great democratic party of the United States, is an event Of singular interest. Mir. Bryan needs no introduction to the citizens of Bom- bay. His fame is already worldwide. He has twice been nominated as can didatc for the presidency of the Un- tied States; 9nd though he was not successful. iIe enjoys the complete confidence Of millions Of his. fellow cvSinIrymen, and he is young enough to try again. The issues of Ameri- can politics arc no direct concern of Bombay; it is enough for this city to know that Mr Bryan is one of the greatest living Americans, to mak it glad to have him in its midst. It vel comes him because his visit typifies and represents that intense interest in India and its people which is 50 characteristic of modern America. That interest is all the more apprecr- ated because it proceeds from no other motive than a deep and sympathetic regard for the natives of India, and from a desire to know them better, and to study the system of admins tration under which they live. It is a fact thaat during the last year or two the number of American travel CTS visiting India has probably exceed ed those of any nationality other than British; and this fact is only one in dication to learn more of India which is at once discovered by any visitor to the United States from this couH- try. Mir. Bryan is understood to look with some misgiyings upon the policy of expansion in the Pacific on which his mighty nation has now entered; but whatever may be the principles to which he adheres, we trust that in the vast machinery which represents British rule in the India of today, he will find some features which may in yite his approval.
 MT. Bryan is not orly q great Amer. ican, he is also, by common consent, the greatest living orator in a nation of orators. He has conferred upon Bombay welcome privilege in con. senting to deliver his famous address, The Prince of Peace,' in the town hall this afternoon at o'clock. The ad- dress has for its theme reflections sug gested by a visit to the tomb of Ma poleon. Admission is free, and the only trouble we fear is that even the town hall will not suffice to hold those who are eager to avail themselves of Mir. Bryan's graceful acquiescence in the wideiy-expressed wish that he should deliver a public address in Bombay. As a speaker, his powers are unique. Whatever views his hear. CTS may begin by holding. he So grips them by his magnetic personality and the intensity of his convictions, that they invariably end by acknowledging the power of his magic gift of silver speech If he could gather the wholt population of the United States int enc vast hall he would be elected pres
 ident by exclamation. None could sa.
 him nay-no matter what they migh
 think the next morning. The man wh
 can exercise this wonderful gift is
 man worth hearing, and in welcomin

 of Bombay are grateful for the kindl
 feeling which has led him to conser
