POWERFUL HUMAN APPEAL IS
BRYAN's vALEDICTORY
A Baltimore dispatch Of July 2,
says:-Never at any time In his tur-
bulent career has William Jennings
Bryan enjoyed greater triumph
through the wonderful power Of his
magic eloquence than when he faced
the the bedraggled delegates In con-
vention hall to deliver his vale
dictory.
There was something transcedent
In manner and speech as he reviewed
in brief the battles of the past. He
became transfigured when he uttered
the words, ~ have never supported
man except in gladness; 1 have
never opposed man except In
sadness"
A battle-scarred fighter, he styled
himself, and his declaration that
"there does not live human being
against whom entertain n feeling Of
anger" was received with q joyous
applause.
In the hall were many men who
had listened to Bryan and had been
supremely moved by the thrice de-
feated candidate, but never OIL any
occasion, they confessed, had his
words carried more powerful
appeal.
