GREATEST ORATOR.

The Washington Post has been re,
quested by one of its valued CORES,
pondents to name that individual
who, in its opinion. is the greatest or.
ator America has ever produced. The
Post enters upon its task with trem.
bling and misgiving. 1t is called upon
to answer a momentous question, and
would that its fluid ink were but
tinged for one moment with the elo-
Quenee that burns upon the tongues
of so many masters of speech whom
it could name. But alasi its ink is
watered, its pen is blunt upon the
point 1t can only trace out with la
borious gestures the names of mighty
Webster, of the brilliant Clay, the
polished Calhoun, the fiery Henry, the
thunderous Benton, the 'golden-throat-
ed Breckenridge, and the silver-voiced
Bryan. 1t can give the palm to none
of these; save one, their tongues are
dust and their spirits gone TO sing in
some celestial choir. When the con-
temporaries of their splendid age
could not decide between them, how
can we presume?
But the golden age of oratory is
not dead, declares the Post. Who
that has set within the echoing spaces
of the senate hall and had his soul
thrilled with those majestic bursts of
linguistic music, poured like symptom
ic notes from orchestral threats, can
doubt it? Who that has quivered,
spelIbound, upon his seat in the

tears to John Wesley Gaines, could
leave for one moment that illustrious

BRYAN AND TAFT.

In view of the continued activity of
the New York World in oposing Bry-
ans nomination. it is interesting to
observe how little weight its opin-
ions have with republican leaders.
The World insists that Mr.. Bryan
cannot carry a state outside of the
south and that other democrats are
stronger before the people General
Stewart L. wodford, salwart re-
publican of New York. declared the
other day that Hughes was the only
republican who could carry New

timent in the Empire state. surely

Senator Crane of Massachusetts.
referring recently to the Chicago CON
vention, declared: "The action taken
there may determine the result of the
election soon to follow" Comment
ing upon this statement, the Boston
Transcript says: This significant
sentence in Senator Cranes recent
statement is doubtless his character
istically conservative way of limiting
that Taft, if nominated, would stand
large chances of defeat. Other party
leaders express this view still more
badly"
Outside the official class. the Der
ficiaries of the presidents favor,
scores of leaders of the republican
party are gloomy at the prospect of
Taft's nomination because they are
familiar with the elements of weak
ness which would be set in motion,
says the Houston Post. Mr.. Taft's
sole dependence is upon the prestige
of Roosevelt, and it ought to be clear
to anybody that Mr.. Roosevelt cannot
any more. transfer certain classes of
his followers to Taft or to any one
else than he can transfer his teeth.
Even democrats who think Mr.. Bry-
an too radical have to admit that this
year he is freed from the weight of
handicaps which could not be success
fully borne in other years. If these
men-those who have bolted in the
past-are really democrats at heart
and object to radicalism they certain
ly know that in essential respects Mr..
Bryan is not as radical as Mr.. Roose-
welt is and certainly not more so than
Taft. Hence, while they prefer Gray
or Johnson, they can at least support
Mr.. Bryan in preference to Taft,
since they agree with Bryan on most
things and with Taft on few.
And there is every reason to be-
lieve that they will follow this course.
That Mr.. Bryan is much stronger
with the laboring classes than ever
before, there is no room to doubt, and
he is likewise stronger with business
men. Another consideration not to
be overlooked, is the probable candi-
dacy of Mr. Hearst on the independ-
ence league ticket. Who doubts that
Mr.. Hearst or his representative
would draw more votes from Judge
Gray or Governor Johnson than from
Mr.. Bryan? Look at the situation as
one may, it is apparent that Mr. Bry-
an is in all respects the best vote-get-
ter in the party today and that he is
above all others the one most likely
to lead the party to victory under
existing conditions.
