That course created our respousiblllty

familiar with the manner in which
Hryan gol iu Ihe army were not sur
prised ft Ihe W'4y he got out.
The Conservative w ill relate luii f
ly I e beginning of Mr. Hryan s mil
itary career, the manner in w hich he
organized his regimeiil, tlie Third
Nebraska. Mr, Hryan was no ordi
nary soldier. He did not enlist iu
the usual manner. It rtipiircd a
special dispensation on Ihe pai t of a
populist executive to enable this
newly incubated opponent of militar
ism to Ik'coiii.' a part of Uncle Sim's
lighting force. Hi fore Mr. Hryan
was seized wilh Ibis overpowering
i 111 pulse to deft ml Li 'country'
honor, a number of. his fellow cti
zens hail gone ipiielly lo work and,
under Ihe advice and direction ol
Uovernor Ilolniinb, organized a regi
ment. It was composed of the very

state, 1 lie boys w ho had put In years
of patient toil ncipiiring a thorough

at tho military department of our
state uiiiversiiy. This regiment whs
accepted by the governor, let. tiered
to the war department mid promised
lecnguiliou, if addit onal men were
needed from Nebraska. It was
known as the heavy art llery regi
ment. -
Unhappily for Hie triumph of the
military aiuhiiious of these voting
men, a military despotism prevailed
in Nebraska at that timer The
despot was Hryan. Czar Hryan, thai
Ihe might organize a regimeiil, be
come a colonel, and reward fawning
friends, nun pel led Hie governor t,o
sel aside this regiment ami lake one
that he should organize. Tin im
srial dictation of (heczirof popu
lism was, quite naturally, deeply
resented by the young men who hail

H.!iiiiral and military history uf Ne

that they not only invited him to Ih.

Hryan, in response fi Ihe request
that lie accept the lieutenant colonel

It was explained to him that the
