In thai school Miss Mary T. Baird was
student while young Bryan was in
Illinois college. She was from Perry
ILL.,, and was of excellent family and
an ambitious student. A bright young
man and bright young woman at
tending college in the same town some
times emphasize the aphorism that like
attracts like. Perhaps that explains
why Bryan. after attending the Union
Law college In Chicago and reading
law at the same time in the Office OF
Judge Lyman TrumDull, the celebrated
associate OF Abraham Lincoln, re
turned to Jacksonville to begin the
practice of his profession. Bryan and

William NJ. Springer of Illinois. Spring
er was so delighted with Bryan's free
wool talk that he procured the appoint
ment of the young Nebraskan on his
committee. Old gray boards have sat in
the house for Il generation without
achieving that coveted honor. Here
was Il youngster member so honored in
his first term And when Bryan was
returned to congress for second term
he was confirmed on that most impor-
tant committee
In the interim the Nebraska districts
had been reapportioned so that Omaha
was eliminated from the First district
The district in its new shape was con
ceded to be Republican by about $500
Judge Allen W. Field of Lincoln, one
of the ablest and most popular Repub
licans in the state, was nominated to
run against Bryan. He resigned from
the bench. so sanguine of success was
he, but Bryan beat him by no votes.
When President Cleveland called an
extra session of congress in the sum
mer of 1888 to push through the repeal
of the Sherman silver bullion purchas-
ing act of 1890, the Democratic presi-
dent Of the old school uuwittingly gave
TO the man OF destiny in the new school
Of Democracy an altitudlnous stepping
stone toward the presidency. Bryan of
Nebraska, aged thirty three, delivered
in the house on the 10th of August a
speech against the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause Of the Sherman act.
The whole house aud most of the sen
ate heard it, When Bryan ceased
speaking he was picked up by enemies
and friends alike aud borne around the
hall on the shoulders of enthusiasts
who liked ripping line grafton when
they heard IL regardless as to whether
II suited their politics. Nobody dis
puted that it was the greatest speech
Of the extra session.
Bryan declined denomination for
congress In 1894 and became editor OF
the Omaha World-Herald He wanted
TO go to the United States senate. The
World-Herald business office made a
contract to run daily on the editorial
page two columns of stuff" paid for
by Republicans, which was inimical TO

the Legislature Mr.. Bryan remained
private citizen. He had challenged
William Mckinley also to q joint de-
bate ON the tariff. but the Ohio tariff
! builder declined. Mr.. Mckinley was
destined to meet the Nebraskan In
broader contest a little later.
In the meantime Mr.. Bryan was
happy at home with his little family,
the helpful wife and three children.
The children now are grown up. Ruth
is Mrs. William Ii. Leavitt and has
made her father grandfather VIII
liam junior is eighteen, and Miss Grace
is budding belle of seventeen years.
Young Mrs. Leavitt herself is some
thing of politician. She has been
elected a delegate to the Democratic
state convention in Colorado, her home
being in Denver Young William Is a
student in the Nebraska State univer-
sity at Lincoln. Miss Grace, who in
the event of her fathers election to
the presidency will become "the young
lady Of the White House," is at home
with her estimable mother on the
Bryan farm near Lincoln, known as
"Fairview," where the head of the
family some years ago built a hand
some residence. Prior to that the fam
lily had occupied modest cottage in
Lincoln, where Mr. Bryan returned to
his law practice after his unsuccessful
campaign for the senatorship.
When in 1896 the Republican conven-
tion which nominated Mckinley for
president met in st. Louis, William j.
Bryan held no office whatever. He
still had a connection with the Omaha
paper, and he went to st. Louis as a
press correspondent. AT the Planters
hotel the clerk looked over the plainly
garbed young man who signed "W. j.

der date of June l6 a correspondent of
the New York Tribune sent to his pa

Ex-Congressman William J. Bryan. the
leader of the free silver wing of the Me-

days arrivals. The appearance of Mr..
Bryan in a hotel corridor in consultation
with several Republicans from free silver
states of the far west excited much COM
