MIR. BRYAN IN THE 1900 CAMPAIGN.

ct. A second time Bryan went down
to defeat. but gracefully and with
good cheer.
He was at his home in Lincoln on
election day, ate an early dinner, went
upstairs at about 6 o'clock and slept
soundly until II, when he came down
and discovered that he was badly
beaten. He smiled to the assembled
reporters, returned to his bed and slept
soundly until morning. 1t was said
by those present that he evinced not
the slightest sign of disappointment.
Mr.. Bryan did not seek the nomina-
ton in 1904, He vas quite willing for
the disaffected wing of the Democracy
to name the ticket just to see if that
element could do better than the other.
He attended the convention in st.
Louis as a delegate, made an amazing
fight for a platform upon which he and
his supporters could stand and won the
fight by sheer force of brain and
Drawn. He arose from his bed on the
early morning of the last day of the
convention, though threatened with
pneumonia, and just as the dawn was
breaking ove the city he delivered

Again the great cas- l:s..rl and
smashed the western cat. ;,.> with
demoniac ~denunciation. tho1.. that
time there was a very large increase
In personal respect for Mr.. Bryan. He
had proved himself to be by no means
the wild visionary, the anarchistic rev.
olutionist, the dangerous fanatic, which
the opposition in his own party had
pictured him as being in 1896, when
the Democracy split open and the less
er section thereof nominated a gold
Democratic" ticket, with General John
M. Palmer of Illinois and General ST.
mon B. Buckner of Kentucky as the
standard bearers, thus contributing to
Bryan's defeat in the first campaign.
In the campaign of 1900 the Demo-
cratic seceders simply voted the Nc

long, were delivered by him on several
days, while it was al ordinary thing
for him to address twenty crowds at
twenty different towns in twenty
hours. The candidate showed a ply
sique and q voice that stood the ire
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
was one of the hottest days known
in New York and a dozen persons had
died from sunstroke during the day.
Bryan read that speech from manu-
script, a disappointing thing, for it de-
tracted greatly from his eloquence.
But the candidate was we'll aware that
great issues hinged upon his utterances
on that important occasion, and he did
not care to trust himself to the I'M
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 Populist party, with
Thomas e. Watson of Georgia as the
vice presidential candidate on that
ticket. Mckinley and Hobart went
into office, and there We're 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 p. Ste
venson of Bloomington, ILL.,, who had
been vice president during Cleveland's
second term, was named. The wal
with Spain and u consequent acquisi-
ton of the Philippine Islands had
brought new issues into politics, but
the silver plank was reinserted into
the Democratic platform, MI. Bryan

without it. 1t was expressly declared

w yHEN the Democratic national
w convention met at Chicago in
w 1896 one of the delegates
from Nebraska was William
Jennings Bryan, a young man of thir-
ty-six, a private citizen of the city of
Lincoln. His prior political career
comprised two terms in congress. He
had been his party nominee for a Unit
ed States senatorship in a Republican
legislature.
The national Democracy had broken
away from Grover Cleveland, whom it
had elected president twice and who
was then in Office. The split was on
the money question. Cleveland had
called a special session of congress to
repeal the silver bullion purchasing
act. The mass of the party stood for
the free coinage Of silver. chiefly at
the ratio Of 16 to l.. The Cleveland
wing stood for the single gold stand

First as to the power Of Injunction

that while much Of the complaint
against the use of the injunction is

cases this power has been used to the
