The number who achleved added distinction was unusually small. Of course It was Im- possible—utterly for either Mr. Mc Kinley or Mr, Bryan to galn much new fame, for thelr n of f1 | household bef began. Henry Ward Beecher repre sented one of his characters as never looking older for the all sufficient rea- son that she had alw ays looked as old as she could look. By something of the same logic Bryan ean never inerease his reputation as an orator, for since his astounding performance In that line In nominating himself at Chieago In 1800 he has been recognized as the greatest lying orator, perhaps the greatest that ever lived. Even The Globe-Democrat, which under its present management has degenerated Into a mere organ grinder, not long ago conceded to Bry- an the first place among the campaign orators this year, From a critical standpoint Mr. Me- Kinley has never been regarded as an orator, He Is a strong, clear and Inter 22) ir An words re the ean paign esting speaker. No amount of speech. making this year would have placed him In the rank of great orators, no matter what inspired reporters about it, but might have he preserved the tradi tions of his high office by remaining off | the stump. 1 don't see why an occu. pant of the White House who Is a can. | didate for re-election should be compel led to remain gilent, but those up in presidential etiquette de cided that a pre shall remain dumb as an oyster while seeking a gee ond term | that Mr. McKin ley ved a hearty wel who ar have sident nm sure would have recel come, even from Democrats, in any portion of the public, for pers there Is no rancor agains nim where, Hannan, the Ridiculous, Bourke oc added absolutely her In 1806 or { oll 1 nt » crats Wellin Perhnr the 1 the cat Roose Campalgne Contrasted oa It was ® pret Republicans er Ameri Ww of the whole the wlities for an contest the average ex hausted He ad n red !

McKinley and Bryan lived they would be pitted against each other In 1000. Of course Mr. McKinley has been constantly In. the public eye ever since by reason of the high posi tion which he holds, and Mr. Bryan has kept himself constantly In the pub. lle eye by reason of his splendid genius, unequaled oratorical ability and econ. stant speaking and traveling over the country. People were used to MeKin- ley and Bryan. They made up their minds how they were going to vote, and they did not eare very much about talk, brass bands and parades.
