Senator Sott was busy mapping out the
tours of four I'nitcd States senators he
was compelled to stop everything In his
oflke to listen to a "natural orator" from
a southern state, who spoko for a half
hour on the Iniquity of human slavery.
Hoy orators aro projected upon the senator
In abundance. They are usually brought
to his oillce by their doting parents, who
Insist that the infant prodigy shall give an
exhibition. Senator Scott has to listen to
them. The senator does not believe that a
deep Impression can bo made on a full
grown man by an Infant, but he has pre
served his good nature so far and has not
slain any child orators or their parents.
Once in awhllo an aspirant for oratorical
employment brings his wife along with hlra
to plead his case. To tell a devoted wife
that her husband is absolutely unable to
a peak In public Is out of tho question and
diplomacy of tho highest order Is necessary
to handlo such a family without giving
offense. Most of tho stump speakers are
men of prominence in tho party or are pro
fessional speakers. The big men do not
receive any pay for their services. The
compensation of tho others is graded ac
cording to their abilities. Tho speakers'
bureau Is besieged by men who bollevo that
appeals should be made to special classes
of tho population. They can never under
stand why the committee does not sco the
situation as they do. There is a man who
Is known In his homo as tho "Hollermaker
Orator." becaufo ho makes good boilers
and bad speeches. He believes firmly that
If tho national committee would put him
.on tho stump nt a high salary every holl
ermaker In the country would vote tho re

All tho cranks and pcoplo with queer no
tions must be turned down, but the process
must be a gcntlo ono and tho words well
chosen, or elso there will be a tremendous
hullabaloo about It. A natlonnl commit
teeman who had ridden f00 miles on a hot
day to get to headquarters, whoso head
was splitting with it tremendous ache,
whose desk was piled high with corro
spondenco that required his Immediate at
tention nnd who was generally out ot
sorts, onco called a man who had bothered
him for half an hour a "damn nuisance."
Within a day there was a story In circula
tion that he had driven a mild and In
offensive visitor from his olllco with blows
nnd curses. Some pcoplo hero believed It
ever since, it may happen some day.
Tho campaign contributions sometimes
hldo strange stories. Recently there wnn
received at headquarters a check for $100
from a woman In a Bcaboard city. Some
thing in tho letter aroused the Interest of
Chairman Hanna and ho caused It to be
Investigated. He learned that this contri
bution represented half the savings of a
lifetime of n poor nnd bard working woman,
whoso only Interest In the party came from
ter belief that Its men and policies were
ho best. Tho commlttco returned tho con
tribution with a noto explaining that 11 did
not think such sacrifice on her part was
necessary.
Not all tho checks that aro received at
headquarters are llko this one. Thero Is a
urge class of the population which con
siders it a hugo Joko to send bogus checks
n ns contributions. These can usually bo
detected by tho stylo in which they are
drawn. One day last week a check for $1,
000,000 was received. It was drawn on an
elaborately engraved blank. The committee
men looked nt it and decided that they
would not place It In a bank for collection.
Sometimes, how over, they mako a mistake.
A letter containing a check for $5,000 from
a man of whom no member of the commit
tee had ever heard was received several
months ago. Tho commlttco thought It was
Joke. The check was laid aside and for
gotten. It came to light three weeks ago
and wns put In tho bank to sco what would
happen. To tho astonishment of the com
mlttco it turned out to bo good. Tho con
trlbutor wns n Missouri farmer, who neither
sought or desired any reward, but wanted to
help tho party along,
Running n campaign Is a business. As It

that there should be. No people aro or can
be unanimous upon any great question and
notio but the opinionated will deny another
perfect freedom of vlows with opportunity
to express them. It Is upon this foundation
nnr rriuihlieati institutions nro based and
our magnificent progress In civilization has
been made. In tho rise of tho great rcpuu-
lie a now era and a new theory of govern
ment was established among men. men
had obtained through tho ages the notion
that government was tho rightful preroga
tive oi klngB and so thoroughly had this
Idea been Inculcated, not alone royalty, mil
tho mass of mankind had como to believe
and accept without question tho monstrous
theory of the dlvlno right of kings. Every
capital wns hedged about by cxcluslveness.
Ucyond tho charmed circle ot tno roai

would look upon his nmple Hocks and herds.
That day is passing. The future Is to wit
ness tho supremacy of tho people and the
consummation of greatness In tho nation
becauso of the freedom nnd tho vlrtuo of
tho Individual. Naturally those of diner-
Ing opinions find their place In ono or the
other of tho great parties and In that school
of politics recetvo their political education.
No party has reason to exist that Is not

and consistent both with Its principles nud

Good government docs not come of such

There must bo eliminated from It every
suspicion of corruption. It must be kept
from extravagance and waste, for It Is ol
and belongs to tho people. It must bo a
government that commands respect, that
Is In Itself an incentive to loyalty, an In

Those who are about to cast their first

nortant decision to mako. They cannot
afford to stake their chances ot being right
unon hereditary prejudices, taking their
political opinions for better or for worse
becauso thoir father was a democrat or a
republican, as the caso may be. Their
country demands of them they shall weigh
deliberately tho reasons anil arguments that
enter into tho questions that confront us
today. It demands they shall decide hon
cstly and with Intelligence with whom and
with what party they will act. It will be
well for such to review to some extent the
political history of tho last fifty years
Let thero go back to tho record of '56 and
note the methods of ono of the great par
ties In tho eventful days preceding the

session of government they will find the
party of Jefferson, of Jarkson and that
