"Bryan Downed Them All.1
"Nebraska's Young Congress-i
man Scores a Triumph in the
House. "
"His Maiden Speech a Brilliant
Plea for Tariff Reform. "
"Mr. Eaines , of Xcw York , and
Messrs. McKenna and Lind In
terrupt Him with Questions and j
are Silenced by Sharp Replies. "
"Party Leaders Enthusiastically - !
ly Applaud the Orator , and liis i
Speech is the Talk of Washing i
ton. " j
Concerning that speech J now I
quote from the reports made by j
the New York World , the New
York Sun , the Washington Post ,
the New York Herald and the
New York Times.
The New York World said :
"When Speaker Crisp appointed
Mr. Bryan , of Nebraska , one of
the committee on Ways and
Means , some criticism was made
on the ground that he was a new
member and inexperienced in
tariff legislation. But Mr. Bryan ,
today , in a three-hours' speech ,
made the biggest hit of the debate
and confirmed the Speakers's
judgment of his ability. No moie
dramatic speech has been de
livered at this session. Mr.
Bryan has the clear-cut features
of the Jiandall type , lie spoke
without notes , and his baritone
voice made the chamber ring.
The republicans sought to take
advantage of his inexperience in
Congress by interrupting him
with questions , which would have
puzzled much older heads. But
Mr. Bryan brightened under this
friction and forced one republican
after another into his seat. Od !
campaigners of the Heed school ,
like Raine.8. of New York , and
McKenna , of California , found the
young Nebraskan more than their
match. A lawyer by profession ,
Mr. Bryan argued his case with a.
dramatic directness that aroused
not only the enthusiasm of the
democrats , but won the applause
of the galleries. When Mr.
A V
Bryan finished , the galleries ap
plauded for fully five minutes , the
democrats and republicans gather
ed about him and shook his hand
warmly. This speech has been a
revelation. No new member has
received such an ovation in > ear > .
Mr. Bryan's speech was the laJk
of the town to-night. "
The Washington Post said : "If.
like Byron , Congressman Bryan ,
of Nebraska , does not wake this
morning and find himself famous ,
then all the eulogies that were
passed on him in hotel corridors
were meaniugloss. There was
hardly anything else talked about ,
except the wonderfully brilliant
speech of the young Nebraskan of
the House. "
The New York Sun said :
"William Jennings Bryan , the
young democratic leader from
Nebraska , whom Speaker Crisp
placed on the Ways and Mf.-uis
Curnmittee against the protest ot
a large clement in the House , dis
tinguished himself tocltsy by mak
ing Ihe 'star' speed. - ' the present
session on the tii./ question.
Mr. Bryan astonished his associ
ates and the occupants of the
crowded galleries by an exhibition
of finished oratory seldom witnes-
scd in the halls of congress. He
is only thirty years old , is tali and
well built , with a clean-shaven
face and jet black hair. Charley
O'Neil , the father of the House ,
as he is called , says Mr. Bryan
looks something as the late Samuel
JaeksoM Randall looked twenty-
five .years ago. An hour was
given Mr. Bryan to speak , but
when that time elapsed there was
a general chorus of "Go on , go on , '
from both sides of the House.
Members lingered in their seats
and the spectators remained in the
galleries till 5:12 : o'clock , so in
tent were they in hearing the
young orator from the West.
Xot only was he logical , but he
was practical , and won for himself
a place among the House orators
beside the silver-toned Brcckiu.-
ridge , of Kentucky , or the calm-
voiced Henderson of Iowa.
The New York Herald said :
"As Mr. Bryan took his seat he
was the recipient of hearty con
gratulations from his party col
leagues. Although this was his
maiden speech , he i-ho wed every
quality of a fine orator. No
member who has addressed the'
House thus far upon the tariff
question has received the same at
tention which was accorded the
young Nebraskan. "
The New York Times said :
"For most of the time since the
tariff battle in the House began ,
the democrats have been attack
ing the republicans' position large
ly vvilh oratorical firecrackers.
Some of these explosives made a
merry crackling , but not enough
of it fully to wake up the deliber
ate body , and certainly not enough
fully to arrest the attention of
many persons out of the House.
Today , almost with the effect of
aa ambuscade , the democrats un
covered a ten-inch gun , and for
two hours shelled the surprised
enemy so effectively , that the pro
tectionist batteries , at first manned
with spirit , but supplied with very
light guns , were silenced. Gunner
Raines ( republican , New York )
coming out of the engagement
\\ith a badly battered muzzle , and
with the conviction , probably ,
that he would be compelled next
lime to put in more powder and
employ newer and more modern
projectiles. The man who today
ceased to be a new and young un
known member , and jumped at
once into the position of the best
tariff speaker in ten years , was
Representative Bryan , democrat ,
of Nebraska. To be a representa
tive from Nebraska implies a con
dition of revolution in that state :
but it aiso means something more
in the case of Mr. Bryan that was
not suspected before by those \\lio
arc not familiar with his reputa
tion at home. Some of the men
who supported Mills were in
doubt at tiie ti'iie of the caucus
about his soundness generally , as
he was one of the four Springer
men v.ho stuck to Springer after
'the last button was off his coat,5
and when ihe votes of the four
would have elected Mills inteud of
Crisp. After his speech of today
there can be no doubt about where
he stands on the tariff question.
.1 There can be no doubt about his
i power of oratory and argument ,
and Mr. Raines , who is apt at a
certain shallow sort of sophistical
cross-questioning , will probably
admit that Mr. Bryan is able to
hold his own with a veteran in the
; j black-horse cavalry. For two
hours and a half Mr. Bryan held
the Hoer and his audience , being
urged to go on after his hour had
expired , and being inspired to
stiii further continue by shouts of
i 'Goon , Go on , ' when he indicated
a modest desire to bring his long
speech to a close. Having a
i graceful figure , a little above the
average height. Mr. Bryan is not
unlike Carlisle in feature , but not
(
jso spare. His face is smooth
shaved and the features are strong
and well marked. His voice is
! , clear" and strong , his language
plain but not lacking in grace.
He uses illustrations effectively ,
and he employs humor and sar
casm with admirable facility.
The applause that greeted him was
as spontaneous as it was genuine. "
Although Mr. Bryan's political
opponents have told the world that
Nebraska has often recorded its
' political vote against him , they
have not given the testimony that
will he cheerfully borne by any re
putable citizen of this state : 'I hat
William J. Bryan has never met
with political reverses , but that he
was acconipained by thousands of
men who , having had every op
portunity for the study of the man ,
trusted him implieity and admired
him for the philosophy with which
he met defeat , the vigor with which
he waged the battle and the honesty
with which he defended conviction.
And these will also say that in
this day Mr. Bryan is stronger in
Nebraska than at any other time in
his career. Ee has won the way to
the hearts of Nebraskans regard
less of political prejudice.
If I were asked to answer the
question , "What is the explanation
of Bryan' ? " I would quote the con
cluding paragraph of an editorial
that appeared in the Omaha Daily
Wui Id-Herald during the closing
hours oi the congressional cam
paign of 1890. II was good then ;
it is good now :
"Nature has gif ted Mr.Bryan with
a icmarkaLle face such a face as
could be carved on a coin and not
be out of place. He has a physical
vigor which makes his unstudied
gestures forcible and emphatic. He
has an eye which is by turns com
manding and humorous. And he
has a voice which is equally adapted
to tenderness or to denunciation.
All these natural gifts has William
J. Bryan and to them is added a
talent for research , a genius for ac
curacy , and a nature for truth.
Let Nebraska congratulate herself
on the fact that she has an orator
who possesses the physical and
mental qualities to make him a re
markable man in the history of this
nation. And if the World-Herald
reads the biars aright , { he time will
come when W. J. Bryan will have a
reputation \vhich will reach far be
yond Nebraska and it will be a
f' reputation for the performance of
r' ' good deeds. " R. L. M.

We ask our readers to peruse
what Charley Gasper , of the Bayard
Transcript , saya regarding the visit
of Mr. Bryan. He writes as fol
lows :
"In answer to a letter requesting
it , Mr. Bryan has agreed to talk to
the people of Bayard during the
train's stop on his way up the river
June 2. Many people who are too
busy to go far away from home can
thus have the pleasure ot seeing
and hearing a man who polled the
biggest vote ever given to any de
feated candidate in American his-
torj7 , with the dominant republican
party a campaign fund of sixteen
millions of dollars and a democratic
administration all arrayed against
him next to Theodore Roosevelt ,
loved by more "square-dealers"
than any other man in the world
today. If Roosevelt has been the
political savior of his country , and
there are millions of people think
he has. Bray an was the John the
Baptist of his adinistration. It
was his yoice crying out against
the fraud and hypocrisy that rallied
six and a half millions of voters to
the standard of a party that Grovei
Cleveland killed so dead that the
aftluvia from its decayed remains
penetrated every hamlet and vale
within the uttermost bounds of this
republic. He scared the old trust
barons into nervous hysterics.
They raided corporation treasuries
and robbed the life insurance com .
panies to raise a slush fund greater
than all the campaign funds used
for election purposes from the in
ception of the government to this
time. The dread of this live ,
honest , vigorous western man was
so great four years later , that Torn
Ryan robbed the New York Traction
company of a half a million dollars
in a vain eiTort to defeat his nomi
nation. When his nomination was
assured the republican leaders be
gan canvassing the lists for a man
with a big enough body and brains
and tireless endurance to tour the
country and talk against the "Boy
orator of the Platte. " They found
Theodore Roosevelt , the hero of the
Spanish war our gain and their
mistake. Fear of Bryan forced
Theodore Roosevelt's nomination as
vice-president. Kind providence
took Win. McKinley home before
Mark Hanna succeeded in selling
the republic at public auction to
John D. Rockefeller et al , and
Roosevelt became president. Harma
died of gout and chagrin when he
was no longer president but merely
the possessor of John Sherman's
seat , purchased from an Ohio legis
lature. This is some history that
has not found its way into * the
school books yet.
"Those of you who meet Mr.
Bryan June 2 may not look upon a
future president because millions
will be spent to prevent that , but
you will look into as true and loyal
a face as any to be found in the
country. You will hear a voice that
has sounded the depths in more
hearts than any man living and
there has never rung out of it a
false note never a tone that didn't
ring true to all that is purest and
best of our humanity. You will
meet a man wliorn the crowned
heads of all lands have welcomed to
their courts as their uncrowned
equal. Why ? First , because his'
life is the true type of a Christian
gentleman. Secondly , his word is
the Law and the Prophets to more
faithful followers than any un
official personage on earth. No , ifc
is not hero-worship. They helieve
Mr. Bryan is honest , and that he is
big , brainy and courageous enough
to meet the gigantic monopolies
that hate him as the priests of
jfreed once hated a still more ex
alted character. Then again , this
man who has won the confidence of
so many millions of brother Ameri
cans whom the trust bosses that
dominate such a large part of our
official machinery , have tried so
long to silence by slander and vitu
peration , lives in Nebraska thinks
and feels as Nebraskans do * "
