NEW PICTURE OF Mr.. AND MRS. BRYAN.

Tics presidential campaign Sucn as
the nation never knew before. Men
called it whirlwind campaign, and
such it was The whirlwind road was
the railroad, and 1t carried the candi-
date up and down and across the land
upon an amazing schedule of travelling
and talking. Mr.. Bryan travelled in
that campaign more than $4,000 miles
and delivered considerably more than
1000 speeches. He made forty-nine
speeches In one day In New York
state 1hirty-five addresses, short and
long, were delivered by him on several
days, while 1t was an ordinary thing
for him to address twenty crowds at
twenty different towns in twenty
hours. The candidate showed a ply
sique and a voice that stood the tre-
mendous strain with marvellous endur
ance. AS the campaign progressed and
the fame of Bryan spread people got
to sitting up all night and travelling
many miles just to hear the phenome-
non speak.
Bryan's first appearance in the east
was on the 18th of August, when he
delivered his speech of acceptance Of
the nomination. Madison Square Gar
den was packed with a suffocating
mass of men and women, though 1t
was one of the hottest days ever known
in New York and a dozen persons had
died from sunstroke during the day.
Bryan read that speech from manu-
script. disappointing thing. for 1t de-
tracted greatly from his eloquence.
But the candidate was well aware that
great issues hinged upon his utterances
on that important occasion. and he did
not care to trust himself to the un-
curbed enthusiasm of the moment.
With Arthur Sewall of Maine. the
vice presidential candidate, Bryan went
down to defeat at the November cleo
ton, though he had been nominated
also by the popuist party, with
Thomas e. Watson of Georgia as the
vice presidential candidate on that
ticket Mckinley and Hobart went
into o.flce, and there were those who
predicted that Bryan was forever elm
mated from the Democracy.
Four years later at the Democratic
national convention In Kansas City
Mr.. Bryan was renominated by accla-
nation. There was absolutely no other
candidate suggested for the nomina-
ton. For vice president Adlai e. Ste
venson of Bloomington. ILL.,. who had
been vice president during Cleveland's
second term. was named. The war
with Spain and our consequent acquisi-
tion of the Philippine Islands had
brought new issues into politics, but
the silver plank was reinserted into
the Democratic platform, Mr.. Bryan
declining to stand for the nomination
without 1t. 1t was expressly declared
in the platform, however, that imperial
ism was the paramount issue of the
campaign. The Democracy opposed the
forcible subjugation Of the Ftlipinos
and the control of the archipelago in
the colonial style of the British empire.
Mr. Bryan made another whirlwind
campaign, even breaking his own rec
ord for travelling and speechmaking.

ard. The mighty chasm widened at
the convention. Congressman Richard
p. Bland of Missouri. ''Silver Dick"
the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement, was the logical and
apparently the inevitable candidate for
the presidency. His nomination SEEM
ed to be q centainty until thing hap
pened hitherto unprecedented in Amer
ican politics.
Bryan of Nebraska, known as "the
silver tongued orator" and 'the boy
orator Of the Platte" mounted the plat
form and delivered a brief but bold
and masterful speech. His vibrant
voice rang out over the heads Of the
1900 persons In the vast hall, pene-
trating with clarion intonation to the
farthest corners. The customary up,
roar of a great political convention,
which the strongest of oratorical lungs,
as a rule. cannot quell entirely, was
hushed into unbreathing awe. No such
eloquence ever before had been heard
In a national convention. The man
and the occasion had met, and the man
had mastered the occasion. The ad-
dress was an impassioned appeal for
bimetallism and an exalted glorifica-
ton of the new Democratic financial
doctrine When the orator closed with
his epoch making metaphor of 1.-THE
cross OF gold and crown of thorns"
the enthusiastic appreciation Of his
sentiments and of the man himself
was indicated by a whirlwind Of ap-
plause beyond description.
And William Jennings Bryan was
nominated for the presidency of the
United States.
Flashed to the remotest reaches Of
the nation, the news was the most sem
sational political titblt that ever took
the wires. Bryan was but one year
above the minimum age required by
the constitution Of the United States
for a president While some Of his
speeches In congress a few years be-
fore had given him a momentary repu-
tation. he was practically unknown to
the nation at large. and particularly
so to the great eastern section of the
country. Never before had great
party nominated for president man
living west of the Mississippi river.
Never before had SO young man
been nominated. Never before had an
orator won the great prize by single
speech. Democrats. Republicans. Pop
ulists, everybody wondered how the
newcomer would conduct himself in
the campaign.
Presently the wonder turned to
amazement. Young Mr.. Bryan was a
campaigner-there was no doubt as to
