Anyone remember this guy other than me?

He was an attorney that made Nebraska his home.  With his wife Mary.


Not yet?


Here is one more clue.



In his first years in Lincoln, he traveled to Valentine, Nebraska on business where he met an aspiring young cattleman named James Dahlman. Over the next forty years they remained friends, with Dahlman carrying Nebraska for Bryan twice while he was state Democratic Party chairman. Even when Dahlman became closely associated with Omaha's vice elements, including the breweries, as the city's
 eight-term mayor, he and Bryan maintained a collegial relationship


People rarely refer to his run for the Presidency with affection because of the 'collateral damage' to the Gold Standard.
