THE OREAT COMMONER.
It is with regret that we Bee.
even a slight tendency on the
part of some to discount the can
didacy of Win. J. Bryan, of Ne
braska, democratic nominee for
the presidency of the United
States.
In every essential considera
tion, Mr. Bryan easily leads his
opponents.
He has the best platform yet
enunciated bv any party. It
cannot and will not be assailed
successfully.
He is a democrat.
He is the brainest mau.
He is the purest man.
He has the strongest personal
ity.
He is the only man in public
history who has suffered defeat
twice, and yet, alter each dis
aster, arisen stronger than be
fore! His nomination was a re
sult of the unmistakable verdict
of the ina~ 'js. He is the real
choice of trie party.
Isbe-elForts of Mr. Watson to
prejudice the voters of Georgia
against Bryan bv abusing his per
sonal character, nre relics of the
dark ages of politics. The popu-
lit candidate insults the intelli
gence of the people of Georgia
and stultifies himself by assailing
the most impregnable point of
the Nebraskan. Can’t we elim
inate billingsgate from a presi
dent ial election?
Harmless are the shafts of envy
and bitterness when directed
against the cleanest and purest
and ablest man who lias appeared
in national politics for fifty
years.
Bryan’s personality resembles
that “tall cliff” of Goldsmith’s
which,
“Though round Its tirenst the rolling
cloud3 be spread.
Eternal Sunshine settles on its
head.”

She Flogged Him.
An incident, occurred recently
in one of the busiest streets of
Chicago of a young woman who
publicly punished a cruel driver
who was unmercifully abusing
his horse. The load was too great,
and the driver was cursing the
poor brute and belaboring it with
a heavy whip at every atep.
A number of citizens asked
him to stop, and for reply he
turned the whip about and UBed
the handle on the jaded beast.
At this point a handsome, styl
ishly dressed young woman ran
into the street and called on the
brutal driver to stop. Ho paid
no attention, and as his whip de
scended once more she seized it
and pulled it tram Ins grasp. He
jumped from his wagon with a
curse, and a number of men
rushed in to interfere.
The young woman pushed
them aside, and with Hashing
eves mid hushed cheek commenc
ed to belabor the man with the
whip: Once, twice, three times
1 it fell. Still she did not desist,
1 and* only ceased when she broke
the whip. Then she turned and
picked up her bundles winch she
had dropped, and the arrival.of a
policeman di-persed the crowd,
who all agreed that the brutal
driver had received a well de
served punishment.—Saratoga
