Mr.. Bryan discussed Lincoln as an
orator.
He said IN part:
Lincoln'B fame as a statesman and
as the nations chief executive dur
ing its most crucial period has so
overshadowed his fame as an orator
that his merits as q public speaker
have not been sufficiently emphasiz-
ed When 1t Is remembered that his
nomination was directly due 10 the
prominence which he won upon the
stump, that in remarkable series
OF debates he held his own against
one of the most brilliant orators AM
erica has produced; and that to his
speeches, more than to the arguments
OF any other one man. or in fact OF
all other public men combined. was
due the success Of his party-when
all these facts are borne In mind. it
will appear plain, even to the casual
observer. that too little attention has
been given 10 the extraordinary power
which he exercised as n speaker. That
his nomination was due to the effect
that his speeches produced, can not be
disputed. When he began his fight
against slavery in 1854, he was but
little known outside of the counties
in which he attended court. II is true
that he had been a member OF con-
gress some years before. but at that
time. he was not stirred by any great
emotion or connected with the dis

he made but little impression upon
national politics. The threatened ex-
tension OF slavery, however, aroused
him. and with cause which justified
his best efforts. he threw his whole
