Nominee of the Democratic National Convention for President net 80 yaars of age, and waa known simply as a bright and slsqaeat attorney of Llnoelq and Omaha ooln. Attbatfelms were In the earns coagreaelenal dlatrlot, and thU dlatrlot was represented by J. council of Omaha. There waa and is a bitter rivalry between those two eitiea, and when Bryan was nominated, Omaha demoor-fee openly sneered at that Lincoln boy," and predlesad bis defeat, as usual wish demooratio oongreetlenal candidates in Nebraska.

Bryan, newover, was on his mettle, and he ohallengsd Connell to jelnt debate. The ohalisngo waa aooepted and the debate ooonrrad at Oonnelle homo, Ooiaha. The demoorata and republloans who went to eooff remained to oheer. Bryan utterly flayed hie opponent Nothing like eneh brilliant oraeecy and merollais rldlenle had aver been beard before, and when Bryan finished Connell wan the' went beaten man aver teen In Omaha, while ths orewd ohsered Bryan again and again. sX VICTORY VOB BSTAV, From that day thero was no dsnbs ef tha oontssbs on teem, and, whereas (ton noil wm oleoted la 1888 by 3400 over J.

Sterling Morten, now ssorotary oL sgrl onltnre, in 1890 Bryan dofoated him by 6700, a tremendous ohange. So groat was tha prestige won by Bryan la this ooatest that ho was ohosoa by Speaker Crisp a member of feho ways and means oemmltfesa, an honor vary seldom oonferrod upon a man during his fifst Bryan mads a fins rsesrd in oongrsss, and hla famtns speech on tho tariff was eheexed and applauded as no other sposeh in tho whale session waa greeted, and it at onoo tamped him as tha groat ohamplsn of tho wsstorn farmers. That spiech has been elroulated in every oemor af tha land, sad is a medal of oratory, argument and masterly analysis. And Bryan did not fall nnder. eastern Inflames and betray ths faith la silver whloh his constituents held.

His great speeob on silver oolnsgs waa another ferenslo triumph, and ha shoo earns to ths very first rank among democratic statesmen. SUCCESS xs ur A VIW DISTRICT, Tha powers he displayed in ths canvass of 1890 and in oongrsss wore all needed in tbo eonteat of 1892. Bryan was plaosd in a new dlstrloi, tho eonntloo of whloh gave In 1880 a good rspnblioaa mijsrlty of ovor 4,000 for tho state ticket. Against him waa arrayed Judge Field, a Llnooln republican, and behind him feho entire power of every railway corporation in Nebraska. Moaey In abandonee was poured late the campaign to defeat Bryan.

Toe pepnlleta nominated a oaadldafee to take -nwy hla free sllvar strength. McK nlay, Feraker and other national repnblloans wera brought into tho dlatrlot to aid Field, and Bryan had little money and nothing bnt tha power of hie brain and tongue. Is waa a meet oxoltiog esnvaa, and tho result waa tho groataos triumph wen by any man in the entire political history of that year, and perhaps of aay year. When ths veto wore counted it was fenad that Orounst, had carried that district for governor by 5500 votes, bnt that Bryan won by a plurality of 140 over Field. He waa again a oandldate for oeogresa la 1894, bnt, Uko many other demooratio leaders, waa Averybelmed in the republican tidal wavo of that year.

Slnoo that time ho haa been practising hie profession. Mr. Bryun was married several ysars ago. Hla yonng srifs, with the view of tho more thoroughly putting horeolf to sympathy with tho aspirations and making hereeif of. sorvioo to him, studied law after her marriage and was admitted to the bar."
