William Jennings Bryan
the Democratic Nominee.

The democratic party has spoken.
The man who is to lead democracy to
victory in November has been chosen.
He who will carry the standard of
democratic principles in the campaign
OF 1898 has been named, and in almost
single voice the democratic party
has Numbered FoTth the name of vii
liam Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska
The party has turned to the man
whose leadership the democratic con
ventiOn of 1904 repudiated. II has
called upon a man who has been twice
defeated for the highest office within
the gift of the American people. Why
What is the secret? Why should the
host o. democrats choose such a lead
er? Somewhere there is a reason.
What is it?
So strong has been the uDdercur-
rent of confidence in Bryan, that one
stands amazed at the undeniable de-
mands of the party at large, for his
nomination, and the present bright
outlook for his election. Never before
nave the American people turned back
to a leader they had once seemingly
discarded, with the earnest, hearty, con-
fidence, expressed in the endorse
ments of Bryan for the presidency, OF
this year There is no effect without
a cause. What is the cause of this re-
turning tide of popularity upon which
Bryan is now ridiHg2-the crest OF
which will not be reached until No
vember 3, when he viii be elected
chief executive of the United States.
The secret lies within the soul of
the man himself. The cause is to be
found in the traits that go to make
up his character. In his sincerity OF
purpose, in his convictions and the
courage with which he asserts them,
in his strong, superb, puissant person
atty, in his Intelligent knowledge of
the problems that face the nation, and
his calm and judicial solutions there
to, in his oratory, and strong argu-
ment, and in the principles of govern
ment he has urged and mas contested
for through twelve years of national
public life, none of which he has
foreswOrn, though he passed through
the disappointment of practically three
defeats.
His defeats strengthened him. He
convinced himself that the issues upou
which he waged his first and second
battle, were the real issues upon which
to base the democracy of the United
States, and he mas fought pugnaciousIy
to convince others.
His enemies have been mighty. The
monied interest of the country do not
want Bryan for they see, that which
the people are beginning to see. that
Bryan is an enemy of the privileged
class" sincerely and earnestly waging
war to bring TO the people the bene-
fits of government that should be
theirs.
The powers OF the east were never
in doubt about Bryan, they knew the
man, and because they knew the man.
they fought him. fought him in the
open and in secret, but the people after
twelve years have come to know Bry-
an also, nave come to appreciate the
man and the principles for which he
stands.
