When ". J Bryan was in Mem
phis a few days ago, he was intro
duced to his audience by Judge
James NJ. Greer, and the great de
mOcrat's character was aptly pic
tured in the judges brief speech
As the Memphis Scimitar says:
The introduction address was "a
model Of its kind. It covered the
case The Judge was epigramati-
cally accurate, and eoncisely just,
and convincingly eloquent. " Judge
Greer said:
Perhaps the great evidence of
great character is the power to bear
defeat without bitterness. Perhaps
the best evidence of being a great
statesman Is to originate and urge
measures for the benefit Of nation.
Perhaps the supreme test of great
patriotism and unseltihness is to see
these measures condemned by one :
own people and then applauded and
approved when advocated by an
other Perhaps the surest evidence
of a great orator is that he takes the
vague thoughts Of the many and
crystalzes it into words that re
turns the thought SO that all may
understand.
