Who And What Bryan Is.
A Hit And Miss sketch of The
New Man m Politics.
(Alfred Henry Lewis in the New York
Journal.)
CHICAGO, July 10.-The country is
about to hear a vast deal of William
Jennings Bryan. He stands to.day on
the-threshold of national advertisement.
No apology is needed as a preliminary
to telling all one knows of bim.
My first glimpse of Bryan was during
the Speakership fight, when Crisp won
over Mills, December, 1891,tand was
given, the House gavel in the Fifty
seoond Congress. Bryan had been
elected from one of the middle districts
of Nebraska. He made bis advent in
Washington about two weeks before
? Congress convened. At once be at?
tached himself to the Springer boom
for the Speakership, lt wasn't much
of a boom, bat it was big enough for
Bryan, and the voed for Springer to
the bitter end.
There were five candidates at the
start: Mills, Crisp, Hatch; Springer
and MoMillin. It came fini ly to two
Mills and Crisp.^'Bryan, whose
name OD the caucus list was
.called earlier than Springer's, had al?
ready voted for the Illinois statesman,
and he let its^and. Bryan never voled
for Crisp.
Bryan was given a position on the
ways and means, a point of legislative
vantage, for which all House members
8rrnggltf. Bryan's elevation by Crisp
to this eminent House perch was due to
two matters-geography and Springer.
Bryan was in the right spot on the
map'. Aside from that, when Sprin?
ger agreed to bring his people to Crisp,
it was distinctly a specification that
Springer's friends were to be oared for.
The deal was made io the House lobby.
"If you are ever going to do any?
thing for Crisp," said O'Ferrall, now
Governor, of Virginia then one of
Crisp's three chief lieutenants
Bourke Cockran and Gen. Tom Catch?
ings were the others--"if you are ever
going to the aid of Crisp/* repeated
O'Fer rall, speaking to Springer and
Holman, "the time to do so has arrived.
It is now or never."
"Can you win?" asked Springer,
anxiously. "If I bring, you the few
friends who are left to me, can you elect
your maa?" I don't ask on my own
account. But Tve held these meo of
mine in a slaughter pen for two days.
I won't lead them to another."
"We can elect Crisp if you will help
us," declared O'Ferrall, "and every
friend of yours will be looked after.
"I ask nothing for myself," said
Springer, "bat I want these men who
have stood with me through beat and
trouble taken care of."
"It shall be done," said O'Ferrai 1.
"My word and honor on it."
That was the deal which made Crisp
Speaker, and which proved the tap root
of Bryan's nomination five years later
at Chicago. O'Ferrall and Springer
little thought as they conferred in the
House lobby that they were selecting a
Democrat'- candidate for the Presiden?
cy five years from that time. But,
none the less, they were. It elected
Crisp to the chair, placed Bryan on the
ways and means, with Springer chair?
man, and opened an avenue to House
prominence for the young Nebraskan
that proved his political beginning in a
national way.
The 52d Congress, which fol?
lowed the overthrow of McKin?
ley ism, was rife of young men.
Among- the most prominent of
these were three from Massachusetts
Andrew, George Fred Williams and
Sherman Hoar. These were about
Bryan's age. They were early in
meeting the boy from the Platte, and
they visibly felicitated themselves
on their-as they took-it superiority
over bim. Ae day drifted in the wake ot
day this "superiority" they joyed in was
found to be imaginary, not real.
Bryan is in person of middle height,
strongly, aod without giving anyone a
fatty impression, stockily built. His
shoulders are broad enough to excite
the approval of a Norse Viking ; his
chest is as deep as that of a race horse.
Nor is he overabundant about the waist,
and be looks what be is-a man of per?
fect health and immense physical
power.
Moan^H^^Bryan's square shou!
ders is a square head. His hair
black, and recalcitrant rather th
docile, defies brosb aod comb, and tu
bles and tosses with a method of
own. This wayward black hair, coai
as a pony's, would give Bryan a shag
effect were it not for the relief be brio
the situation by cooipletly shaving I
face No beard, oo mastache, has t
freedom of Bryan's visage. Eve
trace is oarefully mowed away with t
light of each new day, and when t
world meets the young statesman h<
as smug and smooth as a pulpiteer.
There is nothing soft, yielding
effeminate about Bryan ; nothing of tl
willow. His eye is dark, his oomple
ion is swarthy, with the British, not tl
Spanish swarthiness; his nose i
emphatic carve, bis mouth well widern
and firm, and the whole face fouodi
oo a jaw, th 3 very seat of power, ai
j as square hewn aod indomitable as
eat from the living rook.
It is a mistake to call Bryan
"Popalistie blatherskite," as a pap
with more of billingsyate than braii
recently did. Bryan's whole instinct
conservative. He goes not easily to tl
new. Like all well balanced,all well bui
men. Bryan is a creature of his env
roomeot. He is for a low tariff; ye
He is for an income tax, anti-optic
bill, a free silver dollar ; yes He
for ali of these. Why? Because th?
are as naturally a Nebraskan product
principle as oom is a natural Nebraska
product of the soil.
There would be neither sense o<
justice in alarming an East, not muc
acquainted with the man at best, b
picturing Bryan as some Danton (
some Robespierre, the apostle of di
order, bent to cast all into chaos an
then cement chaos with blood. Brya
is nothing; of the sort. He is wise, h
is faithful to a trust ; honest, with th
probity of the sun ; morally as well a
physically brave, and, above all, s
much the patriot as any one who at on
cou nt ry's beginning suffered through
Valley Forge to rejoice at a York towt
It skills not, aids not, yields nothin
to the comfort or glory of the gold o
any other cause to belie this man. Giv
him bis doe and tell of bim the trat
as one would have done had he arrive
from Massachusetts instead of Nebras
ka, or io bis political upcome been ab!
to show a railroad or a bank in hi
pedigree. His honestly, his sincer
patriotism are not to be impugned
What he asks for nationally may b
proper subject of debate, and perchane
refusal, bat thc man himself is n
more to be corroded than gold, no mon
to be corrupted than a diamond.
Personally, Bryan will win all wh
approach him. As a man, none wh
know him will refuse him respect
Politically, Jefferson would adopt him
Jackson take his hand and espouse bi
cause. Y ou?g as he is, Bryan is of th
old party, and in his nomination tb
careful searcher will fiod only a renais
sance of the ancient Democracy.
It is excellent in Bryan's favor tba
be is founded on himself. No coterii
controls bim ; no syndicate has paie
his debts and holds io its strong bo:
?118,000 of his uncanceiled notes o
hand to some sword of Damocles sus
pended over him as mao or President
AU there is of Bryan is Bryan, uolesi
one excepts his wife, who, with al
that's good about bim, is the best thins
about bim still. She is a woman ten
der and trae, Gaitered and refioed, anc
has been a stimulas, as well a star tc
guide in all of Bryan's life. She wil
win well and wear long, should fate
find her on next 4th of March "the
first lady of the land."
Bryan is what they call magnetic
Men like him. he is pleasant to tb?
eye, to the ear, and soothes by bis
presence and never troubles. No man
ever saw him in a passion. He is cool
and of flawless temper. No flash of
irritation ever reddened his cheek. He
is of good poise and his emotions sit
steadily, as becomes the emotions ol
one who, with care for himself, eats
thrice a day scoffs at dyspepsia and
sleeps soundly at nights.
Bryan is well, even highly, educated.
He bas dug through books and tun?
nelled lear G in g equal with any dusty ;
musty college professor of them all.
More than books, be bas studied men,
and their lives have been his lessons.
He has a memory like wax, and all he
hi;s heard, or read, or seen, abides with
him.
Bryan is not so profound as quick ;
and with an intellect rather military
that philosophical, be makes weapons
of all he knows, and every sorap of
learning belonging to bim is at prompt
and ready hand to be either defensive
or offensive, as his swift genios for
combat may decide.
It is not too mach to say of Bryan
that the arena of politics presents no
one to-day who, with faller ioformatioo,
more pleasiog address, more ready elo?
quence aod a quicker wit, cao cope
with aod overcome him. I don't want
to discourage aoybody about to follow
that leader in tfee chains of a syndicate,
hut in any form of politics Bryan would
out-top and overpower McKinley as
might a man a child.
Daring the Fifty-second Congress
the tariff affairs of the Democraoy went
limping. The popgun bills that Sprin?
ger had framed had neither digoity nor
tone. They were quietly sneered at by
the Democrats, aod jeered and scoff
at by the Republicanr in every hij
and open nlaee I* was not until Bryi
made hi? first tariff speech in the Hou
that the Democracy took heart and t
carded life worth living It was
wooderful thing in oratory,, this fit
tariff speech of Bryan. If was ev
more of a triumph than the Chicaj
eloquence of tb? other day
On this tariff occasion the Repu
Heans, with the cynical Reed at the
head, were there to crop and S?
sharp things and ask sharp question
and make bitter interruptions. Or
after another the orators of the Dem
<cracy, some of them old in forens
war, had been riddled by Reed
sarcasm and made to fly. Crisp, ;
the chair, was also in despair I
last. Bryan was sent into the thick <
House battle. He came ?with tl
advantage of a musical voice,
bright eye and a pleasing personality
Nor did he talk ten minutes until h
developed the fact that he was
master of English and had as we
such a command of the subject i
coin?s only to men who have burne
the midnight lights of studious pr<
paration
It is of no avail peculiary to go i
detail over a debate that's long sine
over and gone Suffice it tbi
Bryan's speech was the event of th
session. Every thrust of Reed fa
parried ; every blow he stopped an
countered Time and again the Bi
Man from Maine was made to dra^
back from collisions he had sougl
himself, discomfiture in his fae?
while the House howled.
For a new man-a young men, on
who had never talked ten minutes i
the House before-the feat wa
marvellous. At the close of his e:
fort Crisp and the fathers of th
House congratulated him, and eve
Republicans, while disagreeing, cam
across r shook him by the hand
That sp.c jh saved the reputation c
the House Democracy and fixed foi
ever Bryan's standing as a master o
forensic fence.
What was to be admired most wa
the absolute stability of the man ; n
more to be stampeded than a mour
tain ; no more to be put to fligh
than a tree.
In the Fifty second and the Fifty
third Congresses Bryan was in th?
forefront of party battle many times
In his second Congress, while still ?
member of the ways and means, witl
Wilson at the head, he not ODly mad?
the leaing speech for the Wilson bill
but a speech so full and exhaust! vi
for free silver. 16 to 1, that Cul
bertson, of TexaB. himself the So
crates of the House Democray
said :
"That exhausts the subject It'i
the best possible setting forth tha
the cause of free silver can get."
During his Congressional careel
Bryan led up the forces for low tariff
free silver, free sugear, the incom<
tax ; fought to repeal the Nationa
i Bank Acts, and consistently aidec
I Uncle William Hatch to pass his anti
! optiou. On appropriations Bryar
j was against extravagance, and stooc
as the persistent champion of econ?
omy. With4iis own people he wai
always a leader, and the Nebrak
Senators came often to the House tc
gain his views.
Bryan is a Presbyterian in religion,
He is often in the pulpit as a lee
turer. Politically he refuses no call
to speak. He once addressed a con
course of preachers and then talfted
politics from a saloon bar on the
same day. When the House held a
Suuday session Bryan left his seat
for an hour to lecture on the divinity
of Christ at a church on Capitol
Hill.
Bryan in Lis habit is decorous and
well within the moral line. He bas
none of the vices. When he ia
President, should that time come, the
White House cigar bill will represent
only the consumption of visitors,
and the wine will be as lacking as in
the abstemious days of Hayes. For
the second time the world will wit?
ness a temperance White House.
Bryan, while master of eloquence,
prepares his speeches with care.
He writes them, prunes, pares and
rehearses them. He told me once
that he would no more speak with?
out preparation than he would plunge
wingless and reckless into an abyss.
His life is quiet, except so far as he
disturbs it with his pilgrimages of
politics. He has no circle of friends ;
pays and receives no social visits.
He is in no sense a lady's man. He
is not a flower of society.
In dress Bryan ?ould not be called
a fop. Neither would he excite the
cartoonist by any Greeleyan pecu?
liarities of rainment. His garb is
modest and of dark reserve. Bryan
will win no notice for the clothes he
wears.
In epitome Bryan is the West.
He stands by his game and his guns.
But he has nothing of malice for the
East. His life is simple. With wife
as a companion, going nowhere ?he
might not go, he makes up existence,
meeting men, reading books, making
speeches to further his political be?
liefs.
Such is a hit or miss sketch of a
man who has ever been consistent ;
who served two terms in Congress
without a mark to his discredit ; and
who only failed of re election to his
third from an overproduction of
Clevelandism. He is not a mug?
wump, not a Popalist, but a Demo?
crat who gets his principles. and
inspirations in a party past, before
the cancer of Clevelandism had
poisoned its blood. The party need
not blush in shame for its nominee.
It has 8eleced as good a Democrat
and as true an American as any who
ever bought a bond or owned a
bank.
Will S?vei Win.
An English Authority Admits
That it Will Give Us the
Markets of the World.
An editorial in the London Com?
merce, a recognized trade authority,
champion of monometallism for Eng?
land and claiming the largest circu?
lation in the world, has caused con?
siderable talk among business men.
From it the following extract is
taken.
Leaving the question of tariffs for
a moment, let us consider what a
bimetallist America will mean for us.
In the first place it wili mean an
immediate premium upon United
States exports. The effect of mining
silver at the proposed ratio would in
all probability bring about a great
change in manufactures of all kinds.
Wages might rise considerably, but
the experience of other countries
goes to show that they would not
rise in proportion to the advantages
which exporters would derive who
send their goods tc a gold country,
to-wit, the United Kingdom. The
manufacturers of thc States wonld
not be quite in the same position of
vantage as the agriculturists of the
Argentine, nor the exporters in India,
but they would have a sufficient le?
verage over the manufacturers here
to turn the scale in every trade where
now there is no doubt which way
the matket trends. In tin plates,
many kinds ot machinery, including
some of the very heaviest, in leather,
and in many sundry manufactures
where the British producer cen with
difficulty hold his own, the effect of
the change would be decisive. Then
this policy is also to bribe the farmers!
American dead meat-live cattle be?
ing prohibited-wheat and all farm
produce suitable for exportation
would come over in greatly augment?
ed quantities, for the difference in
the exchange would mean such an
addition of profit that an immense
stimulus would be given all along
the line. As to silver mining, ail
that can be safd is that there would
be a rush. The dimensions of the
movement would depend upon many
things impossible to forsee. These
anticipations of what has become
possible, are not be it remembered,
based on mere theory. We know
already too well what to expect
from foreign traders in a country
where silver is the standard currency.
India, Japan, Argentenia are all bear?
ing witness to the insidious fact on
British trade of conditions similar
to those now in perspective in the
United States Meantime, we can?
not too soon face the possbilities and
realize the true significance of the po?
sition as it is.
Among our local business men this
is considered a substantial acknowl?
edgment that free silver coinage at
a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold would
give us the markets of the world,
both for our manufacturers and our
agricultural products -Cincinnati
Enquirer, June, 1896.
Something should be said in the
Democratic platform condemning the
swarming of office-seekers around the
President as soon as he is elected.
Mr. Cleveland7 votes had hardly been
oounted before those greedy for places
began to press their claims on bim.
The pressure was so great that he
could not find time to consider ques?
tions relating to his future policy, the
selection of bis cabinet fand the arrang?
ing of his private business, preparatory
to his assuming the duties of President.
Finally be was forced to issue an ad?
dress insisting that he was to be let
alone so that he could attend to the
publio business. He had just warned
the Democrats that they mast not con?
strue their victory to be a license to
divide the spoils. If the silver candi?
date is elected, we have no doubt that
the rush for offices will be even greater
and some precaution should be take at
once to prevent the scramble. The
growing belief that as soon as a new
element is put in power it gives the
right to plunder, is the very stroogest
argument in favor of the civil service
reform, which Mr. Cleveland has been
vigorously pushing. As many offices
as possible should be taken from the
appointive list, and added to the compet?
itive list. Thi9 policy would not only
save the President time to devote to
his public duties, but it would have
the wholesome effect of removiog, to a
great extent, the offices from the control
of political parties.
Miss Tillman's Death.
Sympathy deep aud sincere of all Co?
lumbia was felt for the bereaved family
of Senator Tillman yesterday, when the
few brief lines were read telling of the
tragio death of his eldest daughter, the j
pride of bis household.
inquiries were heard on all sides from
those anxious to know more of the de?
tails, but nothing could be learned until
the train bearing the body reached this
city last night.
Some time before the train was due
oumftera of friends began to arrive at
the union depot, among whom were
Assistant Attorney General Townsend,
Col. W. W. Bruce, Col. Misson, Frank
Tompkins, Chris Atkinson, Fitz Nor?
ton, General Watts, Governor Evans
and score? of others, who came out
despite the pouring rain to pay their
last tribute to this popular aod weil
known young woman, who was a shin?
ing example of all that is excellent.
Accompanying the body were Mr. T. !
C. McNeely, general agent of the Hen
dersooville and Brevard railroad, and
Messrs. U. X. Gunter, private secre?
tary to Governor Evans, and T. W.
Bunch, an uncle of Miss Tillman, the
latter two having gone to meet the body
at Spartanburg.
Mr. McNeely was in the party when
Miss Tillman was killed and was the
only ey witness of the said affair.
Mr. H. F. Addicks, Jr., Miss Nettie
Addicks, Mies Addie Tillman. Miss
Mae O'Bryan, of Allendale, S. C.,
Miss Lizzie Bingham, of Salisbury, N.
C., Miss Annie Warren, of Heoder
sooville, the Rev. Robert A. Lee, of
Yorkville, Mr. M. D. Cooper, of Bre?
vard. with Mr. McNeely, composed tho
party from which death was to snatch
two members.
Mr. McNeely said : "It was 10 a.
m. on Wndnesday when we left Heo
dersonville for Brevard, which place
was reached at 10.80 o'clock. By.
12.30 all of the persons I have named
were mounted and on the way to ascend
Rich mountains which is six miles from
Brevard. When three-quarters of a
mile of a mile from the top of the
mountain we were overtaken by a thun?
derstorm. The Trescott house was a
few hundred yards away and all hurried
there to get out of tbe rain."
"Miss Tillman, Mr. Lee aod I stop?
ped, however, in order for Miss Tillman
and myself to change horses, as hers
was afraid of the thuoder. By the
time the change was made, the rain be?
gan to fall and all three of us took
shelter under some chestnut bushes,
but about 40 feet away was a large oak
tree.
"Miss Tillman and Mr. Lee still re?
mained on horseback, the former with an
upraised umbrella, while I, 20 feet
away, was standing on the ground. It
was while thus waifing that a bolt of
lightning struck the tree and contin?
uing, instantly killed Mis3 Tillman,
3Ir. Lee and their horses The shock
was so severe that my horse was knock?
ed down, but I only bad my 5nger
burned slightly. This was at 3.30
o'clock.
In a few seconde I was by the side of
the two fallen people. Noi. a muscle of
either moved, their death was instanta?
neous. There was no mark left by the
lighting to show its fearful work.
"A wagon from Mr. McCreery, a
farmer living nearby, was procured and
the bodies tenderly moved to the Tres
cott house, where Mr. Carroll and
Misses Pleasents. and others gave all
tbe aid possible.
"The home goiog, was sad indeed.
Two of our party were still in death,
and we that remained rode silently
along.
"It was about 11.30 that night be?
fore Brevard was reached. From here a
telegram was sent to Senator Tillman."
This is the story related by Mr. Mc?
Neely, who was the only one to witness
the double tragedy.
At 1 o'clock yestereday the body of
Miss Tillman reached Hendersonville
and was sent to Columbia.
Only a very plain wooden coffin could
be preoured there, but when Columbia
wos reached. Mr. Berry had a hand?
some metallic casket, covered with
white cloth, in readiness io the ladies'
waiting room of the depot. Across it
was a silver plate' beautifully engraved
with the name of the young lady, and
after it the words, "Died July 15,
1896."
Curtains were put over the windows
to shut out the gaze of the curious, and
the body, by several ladies and gentle?
men, was moved from one coffin to tbe
other.
The several hundred persons gather?
ed around the outside door con?
versed in low tones. When all was
in readiness, the door was opened and
the casket, enclosed in a box, was put
aboard tbe special train which stood in
Highest of all in Leavening POT*
ABSOLUS
waiting. Quite a number of lovely
floral tributes had either been sent or
brought down, and but for the terrific
rain storm there would have been many
more.
. In the passenger coach of the special
were Governor Evans, his mother Miss
Mary Evans. B. R. Tillman, Jr.,
Miss Loma Tillman, both of whom had
been away from home, the former at
Abbeville; Mr. J. W. Bunch and wife
U. X. Gunter, Gen John Gary Watts
and a few others.
The train left soon after 10 o'clock.
This morning many of the State offi?
cials will go over to Trenton to attend
the funeral. The interment will be
made in High View, the Tillman
family burying ground, at noon to-day.
Miss. Tillman was just 20 years.
Her life differed not from tnat of scores
of young ladies. She bad graduated
at Winthrop college and Hollins insti?
tution and was ready to go into society.
It wag the intention of her family that
she should make her debut into Wash?
ington sooiety next winter where, by her
brightness and beauty, she would have
won maoy friends, it is a severe blow
to ber family and expressions of sym?
pathy are heard from everyone.
There is rather a striking coincid
ee.ee in coooction with the death of Miss
Tillman. She was the daughter of a
United States senator and was carried
home in a special train over the Char?
lotte Columbia and Augusta railroad.
The last funeral train which ran over
this road was when Miss Elise Butler,
daughter cf Senator M. C. Butler, was
taken home. These two young ladies
were both daughters of United States
senators, both died in the mountains,
and both were carried to their homes in
Edgefield county over the same railroad.

Massachusetts Favorite Son
Dies Suddenly in Canada
St. Adelaide De Pabos, Que , July
16.-Ex-Governor Wm. E. Russell of
Massachusetts arrived here from Bos?
ton and pitched his tent for a few
days' fishing. He was accompanied
by his brother and Francis Peabody.
They all retired early last night, the
governor apparently in good health
and spirits. Upon his companions
trying to arouse him this morning
they discovered that he was df?ad.
Death must have resulted from
heart disease.
The position of the body and the
expression on the dead man's face
showed that his death was painless.
After an inquest this afternoon the
remains will be taken at once to. his
home in Boston.
The Hon William Eustis Russell
was born in Cambridge, Mass., in
1857. He was educated in the pub?
lic schools and in Harvard college,
where he grandated in 1878. He
then began the study of law under
his father's direction and took a
course of three years in the Boston
University Law school. He was ad?
mitted to the Suffolk bar in the April
term of 18S0.
Mr. Russell was only 28 years of
age, when in 1885 he was elected
mayor of his native city, having al?
ready served as a councilman and
alderman. In 1888 he was nomina?
ted for governor, but was defeated
by Ames. It was in this year that
Mr. Russell gave evidence of his
gifts as a stump speaker He worked
aud talked incessantly, going about
from one place to another,
He was renominated for governor
in 1889 This time his competitor
was Governor Brackett. Mr. RusslI
at the end of a vigorous campaign
reduced the plurality of bis opponent
from 29,000 to 6.775. Next year,
on his third trial, he was elected by
a plurality of 9,000.
In his inaugural message he sug?
gested many reforms in State mana?
gement, but few of them became
operative owing to a hostile legisla?
ture and a hostile council. Russell
was re-elected governor of his State
twice. He retired al the end of his
third term and resumed the practice
of law.
Russell's name was mentioned by
his admirers in New England as one
which would look well at the head
of the Democratic national ticket.
At the Jefferson celebration in
Monticello, Va., early this year, the
ex-governor made a strong declara?
tion in favor of honest money. He
was associated with Senator Hill and
ex-Secretary Whitney in the contest
over the platform at the recent Chi?
cago convention.
