who look upon Mr. Bryan as a BBM passionate orator. I'.ut it is the aim-ph-truth. Ilia political passions an MBSfflW of what he OOnCCivCS to h'
principles, mu is ine Key to im-
I'.ryan Of to-day. He is conservative rattier than radical, fundamental rath
er than practical. Since his nomination in 1"00, Mr
Bryan In. grown graver, broader, deeper, lie has lost what was iu him.
Sectional feeling, and looks to th
warming ast to help the south an l
we i iu the struggle against th
al of corporate Wealth in politic.
II i more natural in his point of
n ... li clay he seems to understand
that a man may disagree with him on the currency question and yet be : a'nceri democrat, as representing the party i n i d as a whol -. Although I have not in-cn a supporter of Mr. P.ryan, I am convinced bv personal contact with aim nnd By my knowledge of what he has accomplished and ia ai 'ompliah.ng now, that three years have hanged him fn ai a sect ional leader, inspired hut enthralled hy a single idea, into a many-sided. responsible stLtesman. His patient tact, his courag.'ctis devotion to principle, and his j.ower of compelling Conlnlenee in nis honesty are luallj reuniting the democratic party. Mösl siute MWlMi I. : no one be deluded by the idea that Mr. F.ryan does not understand parly politics in all its ramification. I should say that he is at this moment th- mosi astute politician in tin- I'ni'ed States. Think of the extraordinary btlit and knowledge iepiiredto hold in union the democratic. BOBVllstlfl und free silver republican arties; think of a defeated candidate who can for three years, without power or lace, hold the attention of the entire nation, speak Isoldly and without re nerve i n every public issue in a time of i on slant and fn-r excitement . and yet not make a single poll Heal blunder; in these three years ha has become more moderate in speech and less ' l.i tnrieal. He is reasonable rather than dictatorial. I spiak of him as a profound and ti aaterfnl poittheian, hecanae. that is the sil, of his eharaeter not generally andcrmtooci. Neither S4-nator Manna, Ins t McKinley. David It. Hill. Arthur 1". i.orman nor Kichard t'roker i in the HUaa grade with him as a part) politician. He seems to rule
without threats, with ut promis. s and without money, IT is building up an orgm intloa that w n i eontpars in rmnBtetrneaa with any that has existed sine- civil war. He is determined that thii parly shrill tu t go into the next campaign in a fluid condition. If Nr. Bryan has a serious fault as a politsclsn, M is his iaablUty to yield or s. in toy iehl. Hi- personality is tathlng phenomenal, lb dominates everything sboot hitn. In this respect he 'unfortunately rcaciiihies Mr. Cleveland, bat nulls. Mr. ( levelnml. ha trusts thcom mail sense of the common people. Ill Bryan! Map religious convictions control him in his nttitude toward the BMfcBrs, He firmly beim.- that the hand of (, js always present jn tl iffnirt .f men, and that it is a part of tin (thine plan to work out every good thing through the average mind; in Other words, through the majority.
