We hadn't taken a very fine sight on it when we first read it but, coming from an ordinary human being, supposed it bad reference to the past ages only, but we find upon closer inspection, that what was meant to be conveyed was that Mr. Bryan is greater than any other man that ever was or ever will be. This makes a still more astounding declaration than what tbe jujfv wm at Irst credited with, I9000e9QOC;9QQQOCXX90Q READ 1 READ ! Twelve Sewing Machines Given Away ! !
