Mr Hull would make a good membei and we sincerely hope he will b< elected. BRYAN THE GREATEST POPULAI LEADER. Let us look at Bryan's record. Four years ago, after the tier cest canvasses, and upon a dis tinct and clearly definite financia issue, this man was decisively de feated for the presidency and tin party under his leadership utter ly routed at the polls. Most men of ambition, undei these circumstances, would hav< sought, for a time at least, the re cuperative influences of silenc< and obscurity. By all the pre cedents this was the thing to do But not for a day did Bryan. * From the hour of his disaste until this hour of his triump'.ian revival, he has been alive ant astir. Upon the hustings, on th< lecture platform and in the pub i:? i ?: ? *_ ?- - *_ i- - i i iii; nuu private prima ue iim? ueei unceasingly active and unflinch ingly aggressive. He has carrier his propaganda in his heart am on his lips everywhere. He ha literally lived in the white ligh of publicity. He has dared th< traditional peril of print, an< fearlessly fulfilled the desire o his enemies in writing a book ! And, marvelous to relate, nei ther in speech nor in print, in al these four years, with his everj expression weighed and his everj action criticised, has he utterec one word which the argus-eyec and vindictive partizans of the opposition could torture to hie discredit or magnify to his hurt. v It is beyond all precedent thai he should have given no handle to the captious criticism of hie enemies, and there can be no real or imagined explanation of this phenomenon outside of the facl that he spoke sincerely and spokt the truth. And from the day of his defeat and in spite of his defeat, he haf been the supreme and towerinp head of his party. lie has nevei lowered for one instant the stan dard of the idea upon which his first battle was fought and lost? never changed, never compromised,never shifted for advantage. Men may differ from his views, but all men must pay homage to the superp consistency and courage of the man. If he has added new shibboleths to his camp, he has not abated one jot or one tittle in his loyalty to the old creed which he carried to defeat. And to this old creed he has, wilh masterful power, held fast the faith of those who followed 14 t b A I /t tf > I t tv r, f * h Ann it^ t/tu i lie IUJ nnj wi uiwoc who opposed it and made it high treason in Democracy for any man to look askance at it. Fighting alone and almost single handed, this one man has sue tained the devotion of the faith ful and literally compelled the support of the doubtful to the puissant political organization with solid and absolutely un broken ranks to fight once more under this banner at the Novem her polls. And this, mark you, he ha* done almost alone. He has done all the speaking and well nigh all the writing of his party. If others have made expression, they have . K9H| I |H| J "'- ^;y\ ' ? ^ rt,t II * A simply chirped where he has <i thundered, and never a chirp lias ' y been in oppostinn to his own. 1 And here at the end ot lour 1 y years of activity wi'hout flagging, and of expression without tear, * i comes this defeated candidate of t 1896, girt wilh the prestige of c failure and handicapped by dis- t aster. In all these years no pos- 1 Bible rival to his leadership has * cast even a flickering ray upon 1 the horizon of hi* party. With * ^ all the wealth of ideas and of * r * political finesse in the councils of Democracy, no man save this man has ever been seriously conr sidered for a moment, lie has 5 kept alive the hope and the enthusiasm of his party in the night of defeat. Ho has been its * mouthpiece. He has rigidly preserved its standards; he has dictated its policies;* he has made its platform; he has selected the location of its nationI al convention; he has named the days of it a assemblage, and today a he walks royally, unchallenged and upon his own terms into his own place as the head and the ' front of Demorrrtov in Anwripa s And the forlorn hope that he ha6 led with heroic consistency r through the shadows is waving t its banners in the sunlight of i promise and victory. ( This is a record without an | equal, a career without a parallel f r in American history. The great i * men of the past have had their ^ followers and achieved their tri | 0 umphs, and some of their work < may outlast and outlive the deeds . 1 and the words of the Nebraskan. i But I challenge the annals to | ^ produce a record of leadership so , ^ complete, so dominant, so illus- j s trious and so sustained as this. ( * It is in the air, in the pulse , 0 and in the stars that the Democ | * racy will win. It has the argil j ment. world without end, It has , I . . - II the sentiment, it has tlie theme j for the omnipotent genius of the , 1 cartoonist. It has everything ex- f r cept money. , f But whether tlie party of the v * oeople wins or loses in this great 8 Armageddon of popular liberty, g i the fame of the man who leads it ( 1 is secure, and William J. Bryai , j of Nebraska, will go serenely j t down to history as the greatest g 5 leader of the people and the re g i public of America has produced.
