MR. BRYAN IN VIRGINIA
To the editor of the Richmond
Virginian: Sir In nominating
Woodrow Wilson, clean, cultured,
scholarly and progressive, to bo its
standard bearer, tho democratic
party did great honor to itself in the
Baltimore convention just ended. It
was a great struggle before victory
perched upon the banner of Gover
nor Wilson's adherents in the con
vention, for it was a fierce battle be
tween the old style politcs and the
better, up-to-dato, progressive party,
between unclean and clean politics.
Tho nomination for the presidency of
Governor Wilson is full of significance
and prophecies a brighter future for
our great country.
In bringing about this splendid re
sult, in the opinion of this humble
writer, William Jennings Bryan, of
Nebraska, played a most important
part. The brave, uncompromising
stand Bryan took in tho convention
against tho money power as repre
sented by the New York delegates,
and his fight for the progressive ideal
in our politics, made it easier for
Governor Wilson to get the nomina
tion. Bryan may have had to the
last the desire for tho nomination at
the hands of the convention, and he,
like all other human beings, under
tho same circumstances may have
shown faults and weaknesses, but
there can be little doubt that when
tho future, impartial historian shall
record the acts of that memorable
democratic convention, the great
democratic leader and peerless orator
from Nebraska will be credited with
no little honor as an instrument,
whether he was for Wilson or for
himself in bringing about this splen
did result. If this be true, the g1 at
Nebraskan has done a good service
for the party that has repeatedly
honored him. Colonel Bryan has, as
all men ,ljave who stand uncompro
misingly 'for high ideals, and clean
politics, bitter enemies, who have
said some very bitter things about,

him In tho estimation of tho best
thinking folks. Colonel Bryan's dig
nified, wiso and manly course after
one of tho New York delegates made
his terrific attack on 'him put him in
tho best light. It is very probable
that Bryan will never bo president of
this great country, but like tho great
Henry Clay, who said: "I had rather
be right than president," ho has
wrought well and left an indelible
impression upon American civic life.

BRYAN AND BELMONT
Tho correspondent for tho Chi
cago Record-Herald sent to his paper
the following: An indication that
William Jennings Bryan's fight is
against the financial interests as a
body and .not personally against any
of the men usually identified with
Wall street was an incident that oc
curred in the Belvedere during tho
recent democratic national conven
tion at Baltimore.
Mr. Bryan and his brother were
In the elevator going to their rooms
on the ninth floor. When tho car
reached the third floor Perry Bel
mont stepped aboard.
At first the New York financier,
who had been bitterly denounced by
tho Nebraskan, did not notfeo who
was in the car. When ho glanced
around he started to step out, but
then thought better of It and re
mained. He looked embarrassed. As tho
New Yorker, after a glance at the
westerner, turned partly around,
Colonel Bryan saw him. Instantly
his face broke out into a smile.
"How are you, Mr. Belmont?" he
asked, extending his hand.
Mr. Belmont's face relaxed into
part of a smile as he shook hands.
"It's pretty warm," was his per
functory roply. , ,
"Yes," said Bryan. Then looking
directly at Belmont he asked. "Were
you there?" referring to tho conven
tion. "I was," replied Mr. Belmont.
"Quito a demonstration," re
marked Bryan, genially.
"It seemed to be," said Mr. Bel
mont, non-committally, as he turned
with evident relief to get off the car.
The conversation did not seem par
ticularly agreeable to him. Mr. Bel
mont could not fathom tho com
moner's way of doing things.
Saturday, before the Bryan party
went to the Armory, tho New York
financier was moving around the
hotel lobby. He seemed nervous
and ill at ease. That family con
ference of Bryan's was evidently
known to him And he expected that
in spite of Mr. Bryan's kindly greet
ing there was more of the same kind
of "hot stuff" being cooked for him.
In striking contrast to the nervous
attitude of the New Yorker was the
bearing of tho commoner. Cool and
collected, with an air of victory
radiating from him, he prepared for
the great struggle he expected to
come.

Doris was radiant over a recent
addition to the family, and rushed
out of the houce to tell the news to a
passing neighbor.
"Oh, you don't know what we've

"What is it?"
