Heap Big lngen Booth
Mr.. Newton Booth, Of California, is very
generally regarded as statesman of the higher
order. The public has conceived that Mr..
and that he brings to the discussion OF public
questions degree of isdom which has not
been seen or felt since the calcium light Of
Daniel Webster want ont in eternal night.
Mr.. Booth addressed his fellow beings at Ter
re Haute, Indian, last week. His views Of the
great issues were thus compressed and express
in his brilliant peroration:
s'Strive to pierce the future; listen to the
foot fall of coming generations. No child to
be borne on earth but has AL interest in the
cause Of liberty and equality, Rise to the
height of great occasion. Hear the voice Of
the ages. Take your reckoning by the stars.
Then choose. Onward! With malice toward
none, with charity for all, and may God for
fend the right"
This is grand, comprehensive, Ididactic and
and anti-bllious. II reminds one Of the wild
wailings of Ossian. Such incandescent words
cannot fail to excite hearty action in the body
polite, No one can read the appeal without
feeling desire to drag the moon from its set
ting cast a horoscope, advance by the Hghl
flank, drink up Esll eat a crocodile and upset
mail coach. Dh, God like power! Who
would be an orator.
The Cincinnati Enquirer cannot resist the
temptation to give Tilden cut on the sly. 1t
rpioices over the fact that the Ohio dreenhack
Convention did not nominate state ticket, but
that it did nominate an electoral ticket. II adj
mits that q separate state ticket would draw
thousands OF Democratic votes and would have
pestered the party. The inference is that the
party pestered in October, will rejoice to have
it pestered in November.
