lection returns and an analysis of the
IKtlitical Hiuatiou. One of the hilciestin;.;
features of the book it. the sketches writ
len by Mn. IJrvun. who thus describe
I heir first mcc.inu:
"My htiiiI knowledge of Mr. Bryan
date from Heptcmbcr h, ISi'J. He was
thciicutcring upon his Junior year. l
waw Iiim first In the parlor of (he young
IndieH' school, which 1 attended in Jack-
Minville. He entered the room with
' several other students, wiih tallrr than
lhe nwt unit attracted mv iitteulion at
first. His face wiih pule and thin, u mir
of keen, dark eyes looked out from oe
i.euth heavv brows, hi nose was nromin
ei-.t, too largo to look well, I thought, a
broad, thiil lipM-d mouth and u suare
rhin completed the conloiir of his face,
lie was ncully. though nut faHtidioiisly
tressed und stood linnly and wim dignity.
I noted particularly his hair und his smile.
Thi- former I Ink In color, line in ninthly.
nnd parted distressingly straight, the lal
i.r i.iiiiiiiHivii i lid cYiirchsivo. In two
- .vcars llie smile has Isctc the subject of
.-onsiderable comment, but no one Iiiih
xeen the real breadth of the smile who did
not see it In the curly days. On one oe
rasion a hei.rtlcsn observer was heard to
remark, 'thi't man v hiTS m Ins own
inr.' But that wmh a cruel oliservation."
In r i Kurd to ' the criticism that Mr.
llr.vun had rot distinguished himself, sin
says: '"Those who suggest "'"'b things
Mhould obsefve tliat he beguu practice lit
2.'J und left off at .HI. and during thai
. period became mote than once set-sup
js.rting. Also his career in congress.'',
Sin- coucludcH the Mketch thus:
"Giving a sketch 'of IiIh character and
mental iidowiiicnt would be beyond
(he Ncoiie of tills article. I may be jus-
tihi-d. however, in saying that Ills lire
Iiiih been one of earnest purismc with
l hut sort of genius which has Urn
ailed a capacity' for hard work."
'"The First Buttle" is dedicatm! to the
Hon. Hichard 1'. Bland of Missouri,
lien. Jiiiiich B. Weaver of lown and the
I Ion. Henry M. Teller of Colorado, whom
iifce author considers "lhe foremost
"chuinpioiiH of bimetallism in their re
spertive particH."
The curly chapters are devoted to an
account of tVlr. Bryan's connection with
the silver movement nnd the. develop
iiient of the silver wntiufiit. Then fob
'low chapters devoted to the republican
.and democratic national conventions, in-
'ItWKiiR the memoruble contest over the
VilciiKO platform Beferrinit to the
fact that the concluding sentence of his
convention speech had been widely criti
cised, Mr. Bryan says:
. "J had used the idea (cross of gold and
crown of thorns) in substantially the
same form in a siiei-ch In eoiiKress, but
did not recall the tact when 1 used it m
ibe convention. A part of the ss.(H'h
wus extemporaneous, and purls of it had
Is'en preparisl for nnolher occasion." .
A chapter is dyvottHi to me silver party
i .i il...
i-onvcntion and uuother to the )opulist
convention. .
. In one. entitled ''Triple Demand for
Financial Indeieudence," bimetallism is
i Iiiih defined:
"In a spiTch made in Ohio, I think, in
ISSCi. Senator Sherman used language
something like this-1 quote from
memory :
- " 'The parity between gold and silver
can ouly lie maintained by the use of
gold as a standard, also silver in limited
iuaiititic as a limited legal tender. This
mil properly Is- called bimetallism.'
"This definition of bimetallism has
within the last font' years Itcrnuif quite
common among tlniNc who favor the Kld
itauilnnl. but are not willing to be known
us monometallists. Bimetallism means
two nietalM just as certainly as the word
liilssl means an animal with two feet.
It means the use of two metals as- a
standard money and to be standard
money they must ! treated alike. If
to use gokl us u standard, with silver coin
in liinUwl quantities as a limited legal
tender. Is bimetallism, then England
now has bimetallism. . .No system can
he pnH rly called bimetallism by the
use oj copper iu limited quantities as
limiti-d legal tender with itnotlier ulctal.
, It was the attempt of the opnciits of
fnv coinage to misconstrue the terms
formerly used that led to the dechu'.ili.in
if a siHs'iiic ratio. 'I hen, too. many in
s'lMtiHi tiHn calling themselves bimetal
lists who were unwilling to vote for hi
metallism without an international t.gree.
nicnt. This made it necessary to adopt
wine means of diNtiucuishmeiit between
indeiM'iideut bunetnllists and interna
tional bimetalliHts." (
Interesting Incidents of the tour east
-.ind west are given. Another chapter
is given to iH.ltiug democrats. In thin

"The only objection 1 wish here to
record is that the gold democrats nought
to use the party name for the purpose of
deception. The party name belong to
the majority of the party and the
minority can not fairly, honestly or hon.
oruhly um- that name In such way aft
to mislead vo'ers. I had at all times
defended the sovereign right of the citi-
wn to follow his conscience nnd his judg
ment in Mliticul matters and to make his
party affiliations conform to his con
science, but a fruud prpctrated on the
voters is no more defeusioie tutu a
fraud nt tempted by the business man.
If the independent convention had en
dorsed ' the rcpublieap party we might
have found no fault with their action;
but no party has the right to nominate n
ticket with no intention of voting for It
and hold public meeting for the os
tensible purpose of aiding it, but for the
secret purpose of helping uuother ticket.
