FOREIGN COMMENT on BRYAN
Nebraskan is Acceptable Candidate to
British Newspapers.
NOT so KINDLY
One journal says He Is = Magnificent
Agttstor aud Another says a.
Statesman lie Is Far
Below Cleveland.

LONDON, July 1.-THE London Rcws-
papers anticipate an interesting contest for
the presidency Of the United states. This.
they think. will not arise so much from
the difference in platforms as from the
striking personalities Of the candidates.
Mr.. Bryan, having dropped the free silver
and other extreme" planks, Is regarded as
an acceptable candidate, but as likely to
stand little chance against 'Roosevelt's
nominee" His only chance, it is thought
here. will be from the support given him
by the labor party, but this is expected to
be more than balanced by the accession OF
the business community to Mr.. Taft.
The Daily Chronicle regards Mr., Bryan's
policy as being the same as that OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt ard says that It is only a
question Of which Of the candidates shall
be entrusted with its execution. Whoever
is the victor. the paper says. he will be
a man Of high character, marked ability
and distinction.
The Daily Graphic refers to the speech OF
Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassador.
on July g. at the dinner of the American
society in London. Mr.. Reid said that the
United States had had thirty electors and
each time the result had come out all right
and It would do so in the coming presi-
Dental election, even If his own preference
were not gratified. He declared that the
Americans were learning to appreciate the
people they chose and referred to the sharp
antagonisms during tn official career OF
Grover Cleveland. adding that hardly any
one had gone to his grave with more re-
s~pectful and general regret from the citi-
zens representing all parties.
This" says the Graphic, gives us the
measure Of Mr.. Bryan's sober evolution.
Whatever is good in the democratic creed
is already an integral part Of the policy
Roosevelt is bequeathing to Mr.. Taft, thus
there is no serious political evil, and 1t
will be a matter of opinions.
The paper suggests that the Nebraskan
may obtain strong support from the Pa
clfic slope by the adoption of Congress
man Hobson's naval views.
The Outlook thinks the odds against
Bryan are so enormous that only a land
slide can wipe them out.
Many OF the London newspapers print
the proceedings Of the convention at Den
yer and the nomination OF the candidate for
president and the vice presidency without
comment.
BERLIN, July ll-All the newspapers
this morning print the news of the nomina-
ton by the democratic national convention
at Denver OF William j. Bryan for the
presidency Of the United States. but most
OF them without comment. The Boursel
zeitung. national liberal, says:
Mr.. Bryan, upon the whole, is a very
sympathetic personality. His great elo-
quence is due to his speaking his convic-
lions. He is a man of weigh and a mag
nificent agitator, but hardly a statesman"
The Morning Post. the radical democratic
organ, says Mr.. Bryan is far below the
late Grover Cleveland in statesmanlike ca
pacity.
