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 certainty until thing hap
pened hitherto unprecedented In Amer
lean politics.
Bryan of Nebraska, known as "the
silver tongued orator" and 1.-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
$1,000 persons in the vast hall. pene-
trating with clarion intonation to the
farthest corners. The customary up
roar of great political convention,
which the strongest of oratorical lungs,
as 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 the
cross of gold and crown of thorns"
the enthusiastic appreciation of his
sentiments and of the man himself
was indicated by 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 SEN
sational political titbit 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 a man
living west of the Mississippi river.
Never before had so young a 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 10
that He injected into American poll
tics a presidential campaign such as
the nation never knew before. Men
called 1t whirlwind campaign, and
such II was The whlrlwind 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 1900 miles
and delivered considerably more than
1000 speeches. He made forty-nine
speeches In one day In New York
state. Thiry-iiye addresses. short aud

Again the great east lashed and

demoniac denunciation, though that

In personal respect for Mr. Bryan. He

w yHEN the Democratic national
NA/ convention met at Chicago in
w 1896 one of the delegates
from Nebraska was William
Jennings Bryan, a young man of thir-
ty-siX, private citizen of the city of
Lincoln. His prior political career
comprised two terms in congress. He
had been his party nominee for 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

OLD CLOTHES IN AFRICA.

Mistakes With European Attire.
The "ol' clo' man" is familiar figure
In American streets and one by no
means without picturesQueness. but no
American dealer in old clothes has es-
tablished business of such extent Of
interest as that of John Lyman of Lon
don, whose speciality is to purchase
snowy costumes and discarded military
and official uniforms for disposal in the
orient and Africa.
Even the retiring lord mayors of Lon
don have become almost by official ira
dition his customers, and the cooked
hat, gold laced coat and knee breeches
at which during one season London has
gazed with awe in the famous pageant
of the lord mayors procession are
likely the next season to delight the
eyes Of darkest Africa upon the proud
person Of Il darkest African.
IL have visited most Of the great
oriental bazars and watched our goods
being purchased" says Mr.. Hyman. Il
have seen blacks solemnly walking
around with waistcoats buttoned be-
hind instead of before and even men
wearing ladies' costumes. l have seen
enormously big fellows in clothes so
small could not imagine for the life
Of me how they got into them or how
they could get out again unless the
stitching gave way"
The Prince de Joinville when off the
Gabun coast once received on his ship
an official visit from two chiefs, father
and son, who must, one would think,
have been Mr.. Hyman's customers.
They were known as Big Denis and
Little Denis. and each owned for cere-
monial occasions a military uniform.
That OF Big Denis was French gen
erals, which his wives managed to get
him into. That Of Little Denis was
hussars. and its Intricate cut. numer
GUS buttons. straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
much for him. He sent the prince Il
despairing message begging help, and
relief party of delighted midshipmen
was sent to dress him and bring him
aboard.
They fulfilled their errand; but, with
the mischievousness of their kind, they
so frightened every fastening of his
overnight attire that the poor youth
was nearly bursting with combined
pride and suffocation when he arrived,
and it was evident he could never be
got out of his unwonted fnery by any
method less drastic than cutting him
out.
Still, no manner of wearing a COM
plete costume ever equals in comic eff
feet some of the savages' combinations
of unrelated items. One venerable AT
rican chieftain received his European
guests with an Anticipated evening
shoulder cape Of pink Powered satin
and spangles worn about his waist as
an apron, while his white wool was
martially crowned by a military he'll
met.

negotiations with an exploring party
