in the Interim the Nebraska districts

Judge Allen W. Field of Lincoln, one
of the ablest and uiost popular Repub

the legislature. Mr. Bryan remained a
private cltlxen. He had chsllenged
William McKinley alBO to a Joint de
bate on the tariff, but the Ohio tariff
builder declined. Mr. McKinley was
destined to meet the Nebraskan In a
broader contest a little later.
In the meantime Mr. Bryan was
happy at home with his little family,
the helpful wife and three children.
The children now are grown up. Ruth
is Mrs. William H. Leavitt and has
made her father a grandfather. Wil
liam Junior is eighteen, and Miss Grace
Is a budding belle of seventeen years.
Younir Mrs. Leavitt herself Is some-
I thing of a politician. She has been
elected a delegate to the Democratic
state convention in Colorado, her borne
being In Denver. Young William is a
student In the Nebraska State univer
sity at Lincoln. Miss Grace, who In
the event of her father's election to
the presidency will become "the young
lady of the White House," It at home
with her estimable mother on the
Bryan farm near Lincoln, known as
"Falrvlew," where the head of the
family some years ago built a hand
some residence. Prior to that the fam
ily had occupied a modest cottage In
Lincoln, where Mr. Bryan returned to
bis law practice after bis unsuccessful
campaign for the senatorshlp.
When In 1896 the Republican conven
tion which nominated McKinley for
president met in St. Louis, William J.
Bryan held no office whatever. He
still had a connection with the Omaha
paper, and he went to St. Louis as a
press correspondent. At the Planters
hotel the clerk looked over the plainly
garbed young man who signed "W. J.
Brynn" on the register nnd made him
pay in nd ranee. The clerk put Bryan
In n room with seven Republicans. Un
der date of June pi a correspondent of
the New York Tribune sent to bis pa
per from St. Louis this highly Inter
esting paragraph:
Kx-Onncressmnn William J. Bryan, the
leader of the free silver wing of the Ne

Bryan in a h-uel corridor In consultation
with several Kepubllrans from free allver
states of the far west excited much com
