REPUBLICAN FANATICISM.
Here is what the New York
Herald said of Lincoln' shortly
after his nrs&nominatioh:
'HERALD,-
May 19, 1860. —The
Republican Convention of Chi
cago has nominated Abraham
Lincoln, of Illinois-, for president
of the United States—A third
rate western lawyer, poorer even
than poor Pierce. The
conduct of the republican party
in this nomination is a remark
able instance of small intellect
growing smaller. They pass
over Seward, Chase and Banks,
who are statesmen and able men,
and they take up a fourth-rate
lecturer who cannot speak good
grammar, and who, to raise the
wind, delivers.his hackneyed, il
literate compositions at $200
apiece. Our readers will recol
lectthat this peripatetic politician
visited New York two or three
months ago on his financial tour,
when, in return for the most un
mitigated trash, interlaced with
coarse and clumsy jokes, he filled
his empty pockets with dollars
coined out of Republican fan
aticism."
This same paper is now trying
to belittle Bryan his campaign.
What was "Republican fan
atcism'* in 1860 is 1 'anarchism''

BRYAN AT WILLMAR.
Willmar people have had the
great honor and privilege of see
ing and hearing a real presiden
tial candidate-! The day after our
last week's paper was in. the
mails a message was received
that Mr. Bryan would speak
here enroute from Fargo to St.
Paul. The news were hastily
spread in all directions and it
was confidently expected that
Willmar would see the largest
crowd is her history. But the
elements seemed to conspire
against us, and'during all the
day previous to the day of the
meeting a heavy rain fell which
continued during the night and
in the morning, making roads
well nigh impassible and trave
ling disagreeable. It had been
the intention to make some decor
ations on the front street, but the
wet weather made this impos
sible. A platform had been
erected near the depot and for
hours before the train was ex
pected the crowd at the depot
kept growing larger and larger.
The baud arrived early and
played selections now and then
while the crowd waited. The
Sioux Falls train brought in two
extra*coaches loaded with pas
sengers. A Mr. Babcock who
came with the Litchfield delega
tion was introduced and made a
short pithy speech Roy E.
Sperry began an address but
when he had fairly become warm
ed up on his subject the train
came in sight and the band struck
up an air. A minute more and
William Jennings Bryan, in all
probability the %^xt president of
the United States, was facing the
crowd and speaking. We will let
the Minneapolis^Tlmes reporter
tell the rest of the story:
At Willmar'a drizzling rain was
falling and the atmosphere was
raw and cold. A platform had
been erected at the depot and
and around it some 2,000 people
had gathered top pay their re
spects to the' presidential candi
date and listen ttbhis words. In
the crowd were many yellow bad
ges, of which a number were
worn by little boys. It was the
first place at which the yellow
ribbon had been conspicious by
its presence.
Ascending the platform, Mr.
Bryan was introduced by Dr.
Christian Johnson as "the peo
ple's candidate for president."
Standing beneath a huge wagon
umbrella held over him by a
solemn visaged youth Mr. Bryan
spoke in part as followsr
"There is no emergency that
ever arises in this country that
the American people do not rise
to the occasion. We have reached
a.crisis in our American history
and the American people are ris
ing to meet it. For years the
gold standard people have insid
uously instilled cheir pernicious
policy.into the framework of le
gislation, while outwardly claim
ing to want bi-metallism. They
have covertly and secretly mani
pulated matters so as to have the
gold standard permeate and fas
ten its fangs upon the institutions
of the country, and you see the
result."
Mr. Bryan then related a num
ber of anecdotes that were highly
entertaining to the silver portion
of his hearers, but not quite .so
funny to those who wore the yel
low ribbon.
"One thing I have noticed,"
said he. ^an&tbat is that the man
who thinks th& condition of the
farmer is goodenough is the man
who does not farm. And he is
the man who sits in his bank and
loans out his money at a good.rate
of interest. Is%hereany farmer
here who thinks his condition is
good enough?"
"No, no," exclaimed a hundved
voices and a great deal of shout
ing was done as fche speaker re
plied: "I thought not."
Mr, Bryaii then went on to tell
ofjhe^vils arisingfrom the goi
*m
As he stepped from the plat
form he was presented with a
handsome bouquet daintily tied
with tri-colored ribbon.
From the platform of the coach
Senator Howard made a few brief
remarks and Chairman Rosing
also addressed the crowd.
At 3:50 the train pulled out for
Litchfield, followed by enthusi
astic shouts for Bryan and some
aggressive calls of "McKinley."
We have not been able to get
the full stenographic re
port of his speech here* in time
for this issue but we expect by
n9xt week to be able to give it.
Mr. Bryan's pleasing and sym
pathetic face made a deep im
pression on those who saw him,
and his words, few as they were,
sank deep into the minds of those
present.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
TO WILLIAM J. BRYAN, ESQ.
Bryan, I love thee? Aye, thou art a man!
Raised up of God to stand for common weal.
I would to God that common folk who feel
The throb of thy great heart, as sure they
can,
In sympathy, would be non-partisan
And bold enough to stand by thee and deal
To tyranies a stern rebuke and seal
The doom of all monopolies and fan
The fires of brotherhood.
If so, ah then
Couldst thou lead on to certain victory.
Would God that strength be given the la
borer
To turn his back on bribery, and when
The day shall come, a ballot cast, to be
Of freedom's cause the trenchant arbiter.
