The real inside of the situation I'M
doubtedly is q at Mr.. Bryan has
-
grown greedy dlring the fat years of
big chautauqua profits, and he is loath
to forego any opportunity TO accrue
additional easy money. The public
would never have learned of this sor-
did, greedy sidf of the Bryan charac
ter had he not accepted appointment
to office. His lecture trips would
have been taken as matter of course
and his patriotism and high purpose
would never hAve been questioned by

now the idol Is shattered and the old
Bryan is dead. This greedy Bryan,
spurning $1,000 as a mere bagatelle,
is but sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal. His 3glory has departed and
his influence with the people will rap
f, idly recede and be lost in the dim re-
cesses of the distant years.
