editorial page.)
The facts were fully set out in a
letter of date July Is, 1908. by AL
fred Henry Lewis, who, in 1891, was
the Washington Correspondent of the
New York Herald:
Mr.. Bryan came to Washington in
November, 1891, and aligned himself
with the Democrats. Before Con-
gress convened, the Democrats held
caucus to select candidate for
Speaker. That fight for a Speaker
ship was supposed to be a fight for
Presidency, a tariff policy, and much
else tremendous in Government.
There were Messrs. Mills of Texas,
Crisp Of Georgia, Mcmillan Of Ten
nessee, Hatch of Missouri and
Springer of Illinois in the scramble.
Mr.. Mills was the Cleveland candi-
date, Mr.. Crisp the German candi-
date. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Cor
man were rivals for a White House
nomination, and the possession of
the House was thought by each to be
important.
'The battle began, Mr.. Bryan vor-
ing for Mr.. Springer. The war stag
gered On for hours; there came bal
lot on the heels of ballot Mr.. Hatch
withdrew and went into the caucus
to vote for Mr.. Crisp. Mr.. Crisp won
in the last Of it, by the merest frag-
ment Of a majority-two votes, I
think.
CAS- related, Mr.. Bryan voted from
the first for Mr.. Springer. When Mr..
Springer withdrew, he still voted
for Mr. Springer. That gentleman
was himself voting for Mr.. Crisp; he
had withdrawn his name; he was no
longer a candidate. Yet to a final
roll call which gave victory by
brace Of votes to Mr. Crisp, Mr..
Bryan went shooting his lonely arrow
in the useless air for Mr.. Springer.
in brief. he threw away his vote in
a struggle where thrones and scep-
tiers were the prizes contended for
1T was two months later, I should
say, when l one day asked Bryan why
be thus threw himself away. He
was not SO old as he is now, and
hadn' t-as he has since-carried the
great art of forgetting to sublimest
heights.
&" Did you ever stop to think de-
manded Mr.. Bryan, and his look was
deep and foxy; did you ever stop to
think that both Mills and Crisp were
ex-Confederates?'
What difference should that
maker" I urged.
"'It might make a deal of differ
ence,' said Mr.. Bryan, in the coun-
try where I came from. For myself,
I shouldn't care to go back and face
an old soldier element along the
Platte with the record of having
voted for an ex-Confeaerate.' -
After the above facts were publish
ed, Mr.. Bryan, in a gneral way, stat
ed that he did vote for Mr.. Crisp.
On this point Mr.. Lewis wrote as
follows:
''Mr. Bryan says he voted for Mr..
Crisp in caucus. He did but it was
in the caucus held in 1898. Mr..
Crisp was Speaker twice. At the sec
ond caucus, called just before Con-
gress in 1893-it was the extra ses-
sion ordered by Mr.. Cleveland
there existed no opposition to Mr..
Crisp. His was the only name; his
selection took place by reclamation.
Also, in that second caucus, either
because there was No roll call to
make a record or his fears of AN
old soldier element had measurably
subsidized, Mr.. Bryan did vote for Mr..

(From Atlanta Constitution, of July
18, 1908.)

r. Crisp has received letter from
William Jennings Bryan with refer
ence to Mr.. Crisp's father in his con-
test for the Speakership of the House
Of Representative.

Mr.. Bryan's liter in regard to his

fifty-seCOnd and fifty third congress

father were warm friends On one
occasion Mr.. Bryan came to Americas
and was guest at our home'
Mr.. Bryan's letter to Judge Crisp
is as follows:
Lincoln, Neb., July IS, 1905
Judge Charles R. Crisp, Americas,
Ga. My Dear Mr.. Crisp: Your kind
letter at hand. I appreciate your
congratulations and good wishes, re-
Numbering as L do the acquaintance
formed when you were with your
father at Washington. I am glad,
too, that you referred to the cruel
story that has from time to time been
circulated by malicious enemies for
the last twelve years.
You have stated the facts correct
ly in your letter. When at Jackson
vile, ILL.,, I lived in Congressman
Springer's district I had campaign
ed for him, and when I visited Wash
ington, in the Spring of 1887, he
showed me every possible courtesy.
When [ saw that he was a candidate
for Speaker, I wrote to him and told
him that it would give me great
pleasure to support him, and I did
all [ could for him. There were two
leading candidates, as you remember.
your father and Mr. Mills. I never
liked the bandwagon habit, in poll
tics, and remained with Mr.. Spring
er to the end. 1t was not because of
any prejudice against either your
father or Mr.. Mills. That was in the
caucus-when the election came up
in the house, 1 voted for your father,
as the roll call will show. In the
next congress, I voted for your faith
er in the caucus, and also on roll call
in the House. He appointed me on
the Ways and Means Committee at
Mr.. Springer's request, and personal
ly thanked me for my speech on the
tariff question, stating that I had JUS
tifid his selection of me. He reap
pointed me on the Ways and Means
Committee in the next House. when
Mr.. Wilson was chairman. Our rela-
lions were always Of the most cor
dial character, and he never had
more sincere admirer. When I went
to Washington, I did not know the
public men, except as I had read Of
them, and my acquaintance with your
father convinced me that no mistake
had been made in his selection. He
was prominently a leader among
Democrats.
Nothing but the most malignant
enmity can account for the circula-
ton of the charge that | am preju-
dice against the Southern Democrats.

have served in congress is able to
