stands upon other Democratic issues.
Despite all opposition, he has domi-

twelve years. For several years past
he has given expression to his views
in the weekly journal, the Commoner,
which he established at Lincoln. He
has removed to a fine farm near Lin-
coln. built a commodious residence and
become known throughout the world
as the “great American commoner,”

WILLIAM J. BRYAN IN 1396.
"You shall not press down upon the
brow of labor this crown of thorns. You
shall not crucify mankind upon a cross
of gold.”
ard. The mighty chasm widened at
the convention. Congressman Richard
P. Bland of Missouri, "Silver Dick,”
the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement, was the logical and
apparently the Inevitable candidate for
the presidency. His nomination seem-
ed to be a certainty until a thing hap-
pened hitherto unpreedented in Amer-
ican politics.
Bryan of Nebraeln. known as "the
silver tongued orator” and “the boy
orator of the Platte," monted the plat-
form and delivered a brief but bold
and masterful speech. His vibrant
voice rang ont over the heads of the
15,000 perveus in the vast hall, pene-
trating with clarion intonation to the
farthest corners The customary up-
roar of a great political convention,
which the strougusst of oratorical lungs,
as a -ule. cannot quell entirely. was
hushed into unireathing awe. No such
eloquence ever before had I een heard
in a national comention The man
and he oceasi m bad met, and the man
had mastered the occasion. The ad-
dress was an impassi ped appeal for
bimetal 11 n ad an exalted glorifica-
tion of the new Deme eratic financial
doctrine. When the orator ctosd with
his epoch making metaphor of “the
cross of gold aid • r own of thorns"
the enthusiastic anp: obation of his
sentiments and of the man himself
was indicated by a whirlwind of ap-
plause beyond description.
And William lennings Bryan was
nominated for the presidency of the
United States.
Flashed to the remotest reaches of
the nation, the news was the most sen-
sational political titbit that ever took
the wires. Bryan was but one year
above the minimum ag? required by
the constitution of the United States
for a president. While some of his
speeches in congress a few years be-
fore had given him a momentary repu-
tation, lie was practically unknown to
the nation at large, and particularly
so to the great eastern section of the
country. Never before had a great
party nominated 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 the great prize by a single
speech. Democrats. Republicans. Pop-
ulists, everybody wondered bow the
newcomer would conduct himself in
the campaign.
Presently the wonder turned to
amazement. Young Mr. Bryan was a
camvateper-there was no doubt as t

which had waited and sweated and
fretted all night long just to bear him :
a speech which for pathos and power (
and thrill no inveterate convention fol- 1
lower ever heard equaled. The Demo-
cratic ticket. Judge Alton B. Parker
of New York and ex-Senator Henry G.
Davis of West Virginia, was defeated
in November inexpressibly worse than
was Bryan in either of his campaigns.
The discovery of vast deposits of
gold in Alaska and elsewhere since the
free silver campaigns has eliminated
the money issue from politics. Mr.
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia as the
vice presidential candidate on that
ticket. McKinley and Hobart went
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 in Kansas City
Mr. Bryan was renominated by accla-
mation. There was absolutely no other
candidate suggested for the nomina-
tion. For vice president Adlai E. Ste-
venson of Bloomington, III., 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
the silver plank was reinserted into
the Democratic platform, Mr. Bryan
derlining to stand for the nomination
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 file control of the archipelago in
the colonial style of the British empire.

campaign, even breaking his own rec-
