Bailey and Bryan.

1t is an open secret that Senator Bal
ley has long cherished deep seated
personal hatred toward William j. Bry-
an. A writer mentions the fact that Bry-
an and Bailey, when members of the 23rd
congress, were personal as well as politi-
cal, friends. Both those young men dis.
played at that time unusual intellectual
ability. Bryan, at the opening of that con-
gress, was not quite "a years of age, and
Bailey was still younger. But both gave
promise Of distinction. Less than three
years later Bryan received at Chicago,
IN 1896. at the Democratic national con-
vention, the nomination for president.
Bailey was present. and when it became
apparent that Bryan's victory was prac-
tically won. Bailey rushed out of the
convention, raving like madman. doub-
ling his fists and brandishing his arms
in most unseemly manner. From that
hour Bailey has continued bitter ene-
my to Bryan, while Bryan has not once
expressed toward his former friend the
sli ghtest personal resentment. The cause
of this difference is to be found in the
moral greatness of Bryan and the dwarf.
ed moral attributes Of Bailey. For his
moral qualities Bryan has the respect of
the whole world; while Bailey employs
his brain power in defending Lorimer's
title to seat in the United States senate
