WRECKI,G A PUBLIC SPEECH.

The must complete wrecking Of u pub
lie speech of whicu | ever heard hap
pened in political campaign. In this
case it was not hidden rocks, nor uu-
seen currents, nor unexpected breezes,
but torpedoes, placed on purpose to
blow the vessel on the water. The two
parties were to hold meetings in tue
same place on Two successive nights
the Republicans the first night, the DEM
Ocrats the second. The Democrats
speaker was a man of large form aud
fine presence. with a rich voioa, and
considerable claim to oratory. uo was,
however, somewhat pompous, and with
very marked peculiarltieS Of N inner,
which his fine form and voice made even
more c0nsplcuous.
the Republican speaker was most
pitiless wit, a great mimic, and pos
sessed oil remarkable memory. Com
ing the INST nignt, he made short
speech on the issues OF the campaign.
and then said: "Ihis is my speech.
Colonel - will be here tomorrow
night, and Pll tell what ne will say.'
Throwing himself into the attitude OF
mis- voice and manner, he gave them tho
speech he had heard him make tew
uighLs before, and which be felt sure he
would repeat there. The next night the
house was crowued to its utmost. Our
Democratic friend felt very much Gas-
tered at the la!g attendance. But the
moment he step ted on to the platform q
suppressed slnii. spread its II over the
audience. Az his hrst sentence il
broadened and deepened almo Into a
laugh.
