the convention. Congressman Richard

the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement was tbe logical
apparently the Inevitable candidate
and
for
the presidency. His nomination seem
ed to be a certainty until a thing hap
pened hitherto unprecedented in Amer
ican politics.
Bryan of Nebraska, known as
"the
sliver tongned orator" and "the boy
orator of the Platte," mounted the plat
form and delivered a brief but bold
and masterful speech. His vibrant
voice rang out over the heads of the
15,000 persons In the vast hall, cne-
tratlng with clarion intonation to the
farthest corners. The customary up
roar of a great political convention,

doctrine. When the orator closed witn

nominated for tbe presidency of
United Stntes.
Flashed to the remotest reaches of
the nntlon, the news wns the most sen
sational political titbit that ever took
the wires. Bryan wns but one year
above the minimum age required by
tbe constitution of tbe United States
for a president While some of his
speeches in congress n few years tie
fore had given him a momentary repu
tation, be was practically unknown to
the nation at large, and particularly
so to the great eastern section nf the
country. Never leforo had a great
party nomlnnted for president a man
living west of the Mississippi river.
Never before had so young a man
been nominated. Never before had an
orator won tbe great prize by a single
speech. Democrats. Republicans. Pop- i
ullsts, everybody wondered bow the
newcomer would conduct himself ln j
the campaign. i
Presently the wonder turned to
amazement. Young Mr. Bryan was a
campaigner-there was no doubt as to
that He Injected Into American poll- ,
tics a presidential campaign such as
ntinn navor knew before. Men '
called It a wliiriwln ' campaign, and
such It wns The wl wind road was

Bryan's first appearance In the east
was on the 12th of August, when be
for ulea rroni sunstroke during the day.
at
Bryan read that speech from manu
script, a disappointing thing, for It de
tracted greaUy from bis eloquence.
Put the candidate was well aware that
great Issues hinged upon bis utterances
on that Important occasion, and be did
not care to trust himself to tbo un
curbed enthusiasm of tbe moment
With Arthur Sewall of Maine, the
vice presidential candidate, Bryan went
dwn to defeat at the November elec
tion, though be bad been nominated
also by the Populist party, with
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia as the
vice presidential candidate on that
ticket McKlnlcy and liobart went
I Into office, and there were those who
predicted that Bryan was forever elim
inated from the Democracy.
Four years later at the Democratic
national convention ln Kansas City
Mr. Bryan was renominated by accla
mation. There was absolutely no other
candidate suggested for the nomina
tion. For vice president Adlal E. Ste
venson of Bloomlngton, 111., who had
been vice president during Cleveland's
second term, was named. The war
with Spain and our consequent acquisi
tion of the Philippine Islands had
brought new Issues Into politics, but
tbe silver plnnk was reinserted Into
the Democratic platform, Mr. Bryan
declining to stand for tbe nomlnntlon
without it It was expressly declared

In the platform, however, that Imperial
Ism was the paramount Issue of the
campaign. The Democracy opposed the
forcible subjugation of the Filipinos
and the control of the archipelago In
the colonial style of the British empire.

et A second time Bryan went down
to defeat ' but gracefully and with
good cheer.
He was at his home In Lincoln on
election day, ate an early dinner, went
upstairs at about 6 o'clock and slept
soundly until 11, when be came down
and discovered that he was badly
beaten. He smiled to tbe assembled
reporters, returned to his bed and slept
soundly until morning. It was said
by those present that he evinced not
the slightest sign of disappointment
Mr. Bryan did not seek tbe nomina
tion in 1104. He was quite willing for
the disaffected wing of the Democracy
to name the ticket Just to see If that
element could do better than the other.
He attended the convention In St
Louis as a delegate, made an amazing
fight for a platform upon which he and
bis supKrters eould stnnd and won tbe
Dght by sheer force of brain and
brawn. He arose from Ills bed on the
early morning of the Inst day of the
convention, though threatened with
pneumonia, and Just as the dawn was
breaking over the city be delivered

In November inexpressibly worse than
was Bryan In either of his campaigns.
The discovery of vast deposits of
gold ln Alaska and elsewhere since tbe
free silver campaigns has eliminated
tbe money Ishiic from politics. Mr.
Bryan bus accepted this fact and now
stands upon other Democratic Issues.
Despite nil opposition, he bus domi
nated the national Democracy for
twelve years. For several years past
he has given expression to Ills views
in the weekly Journni, tile Commoner,
which he established at Lincoln. He
lias removed to a line farm near Lin
coln, built a commodious residence nnd
becomo known throughout the world
as Ihe "great American commoner,"
titular successor to Henry Clay. He
has traveled around the world and
written his impressions for a syndicate
of American newspapers. He has been
for years the most popular aud highest
paid lecturer on the American lyceuin
and Chautauqua circuits. It is said
that bis Income from lecturing alone
Is as much as $.,000 a year, the presi
dent's salary.
Mr. Bryan Is a total abstainer from
ilcohol and tobacco. He Is a Ineuiber
of tbe Presbyterian church und never
workji on Sunday, save to deliver a re
ligious address now and then. His
Meal IsOmoraltty, persal, political
and civic. The Bryan of 1908 looks
