Friendship, party loyalty, public
duty, all things else might perish
from the hillside of his regard; but
never "Bryan." Party might go
down, public good might founder
beneath his feet; let him but get
Bryan" ashore on hatch-cover
and he could readily be consoled. He
was immensely, intensely for
Bryan" and to serve his own
hopes, accommodate his own fears, he
stood ready to go through public
interest like a COW through cobweb.
He was selfish with the selfshness Of
an oyster, and eongenitally incapa-
BILE of any good save his own. He is
all these things today. To boil his
own egg he would burn another's
barn. IF he owned a lake he
wouldn't give duck a drink.
In Mr.. Bryan's favor as he entered
the House ran various character
istics. He was fluent, plausible, Of a
pleasant, confidential address that
had the effect Of fattery upon his
hearers. He had no tempers, gave
way to no Anglers, was consumed OF
the flames of no RACES. He had no
gratitudes, no revenges. Likewise,
gratitude and revenge are twins;
they are off the same bolt Of cloth,
and mean but payment Of ones
debts, for good or Ill, when all is
said. I say that he owned no re-
venges. IF he had any they belonged
with the furtive, the indirect, and
were Of the sort that express them
selves with poison, not the battle
axe These things was Mr.. Bryan, as
he sat those four years in the House;
and, since men in their elements
never change, he is all these things
today.
To succeed as Mr.. Bryan has sue
ceeded-for he has had success-he
must be matchless deceiver.
Now and then, in a heat Of selfish
ness, he will outrun his native eau
ton, and give the world a briefly
vanishing glimpse Of his inner ugli-
ness. This was the case when
he did all he disgracefully might
to possess himself Of the Con-
necticut widows fifty thousand
dollars. The bait was too strong;
it drew him for the moment out
side Of himself. The yellow CLINT of
those fifty thousand dollars blinded
his eyes, commonly keen enough, and
he failed to see how public indigna-
ton would pile itself up. Thus was
he betrayed into that attempted pill
lage, and showed himself willing to
strip a woman to feather his own
mean nest. One day I shall write
more fully of that widows mite
which Mr.. Bryan did not receive.
There you have, in contracted
measure, a fraction Of what I think
of Mr.. Bryan. The reason of its
telling is that at this precise writing
he goes building his fences, and lay
ing his pipes for the capture Of the

BY Alfred Henry Lepis

THAI SENATE VOIo IOr Wn1cn the
hunted interests of Sugar were look
ing. The trust had painted for that
vote as the worn hart panteth for the
brook, and Mr.. Bryan found it.
Not only did he find it, but day after
day he left his seat in the House and
went to the Senate, there to stand
faithful Sugar watch and ward over
the large, but uncertain, Senator
Allen.
What was to have been his re-
ward?
In event of favorable Sugar up
come, and the sticking of Senator
Allen to the Sugar last, Mr.. Bryan,
by promise Of the Oxnards, would
have received a Sugar boost up the
Senate stairs. The intrigue went
astray. The unfortunate Senator
Allen, harried by every Populist
paper between the coast lines of the
country, fell into frenzy of fear and
wriggled through the Bryan fingers.
Thus the Senate in the last of it did
not jump Sugarwise. Neither did Mr..
Bryan receive that Sugar boost.
While that new fit Of Populism-
he had in 1892 voted for General
Weaver, the Populist candidate for
the Presidency-was upon him, Mr..
Bryan nearly made a false step.
Had he taken it, his "cross of gold"
now abandoned-would not have
won him that Chicago nomination.
He would have been once more with
Messrs. Watson, Simpson and Pence,
and never have come to Chicago at
all.
Governor O'Ferrell. Of Virginia,
then a member Of the House, had
been slated for the Governorship Of
his State. Mr.. Bryan, with no
principle to guide by beyond the
selfish principle of his own advance
ment, was as aforesaid swinging in
his painful allegiance between the
Populists and the Democrats. AS
though having finally decided into
whose arms to fall, he made arrange
ments with a Roanoke delegation to
stump Virginia for the Populists
against Mr.. O'Ferrell.
The latter gentleman heard of it
and asked Mr.. Bryan if the tale were
true. Mr.. Bryan was disturbed. His
eyes shifted hither and yon, like
those of a trapped animal He said
that ''he hadn't made up his mind. "
"Well, sir,'' returned Mr.. OFFER
rell in high vein, "when you do
make up your mind, I trust that
you'll let me know. Should you, sir,
who pretend to be a Democrat, come
into my State to stump for the Popu-
lists, [ shall be there to meet you.
And [ promise you reception
worthy your merits in every last
particular
Mr.. Bryan did not stump Virginia
for the Populists, but crept sidewise
out of his pact.
Toward the close of Congress he
considered within himself how he
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-10-29

ne was carefully conventional anu
usual, and Stunned originality as he
would have stunned the plague. To
succeed in politics, one must be Of
the herd, and the herd distrusts the
original. Knowing this, Mr.. Bryan
never permitted himself to overflow
into aught that was novel, whether of
idea or phrase. He carefully thought
nothing that hadn't been thought,
said nothing that hadn't been said,
saw nothing that hadn't been seen,
did nothing that hadn't been done.
But what he did think and say and
see and do, he thought, said, saw and
did plausibly, smoothly and with
polished grace. He had a voice, too,
like a chime Of bells, and in his
manner there abode no Earring note
of discord.
Mr.. Bryan served two terms in Con-
gress. His speciality was Tariff; he
paid no mighty heed to Silver. This
was not because Of any Silver indif-
ference; it was due to Mr.. Bland, who
was Silver's standing champion. Mr..
Bland resented, with the jealousy of
a lover, the slightest effort on any
ones part to share his place with
him.
1t thus befell that Mr.. Bryan,
during his stay in Congress, never
took an important part in Silver's
battles. Indeed, he knew so little Of
Silver, in the forensic sense, that
when he was nominated for the
Presidency in 1896 he had instantly
to go to school in that economy to
Silver's postmaster Senator Jones'
of Nevada. That Silver speech of
acceptance which Mr.. Bryan read at
Madison Square Garden, was said by
good authority to be Senator Jones
speech, not Mr.. Bryan's. Mr..
Bryan at the time explained that he
read it because a hostile goldbug
press would else misquote and malign
him. This was a splendid explana-
ton, but a long fight-shot from the
truth. There is reason for believing
that he read it because, not knowing
a word Of it, and the time being too
short to commit it to memory, he
couldn't deliver it on more flowing
terms.
Having been beaten for his third
election, Mr.. Bryan's House activi-
ties were scheduled to end March,
1895. Wherefore-loth to face an
offceless future-in his last Con-
gress Mr.. Bryan resolved to make a
plunge for the next Nebraska Sena-
torship, and make it as a Populist.
This wouldn It have been so reprehen-
sible, except that as a first step he
dealt with Sugar.
The Wilson Bill was in the Senate,
and the Oxnards of Nebraska beet
sugar celebration, and per incident an
important element Of the Sugar
Trust, were full of tariff fears. With
Senator Hill, Of New York, voting
all around the tariff clock, and laying
it to an income tax, the Senate line
