what becomes Of campaign documents sent

fallacious idea that the people of this country

believed in solely by the Congressional solons
themselves. 1t is we'll to track briefly the

Burllngame, the news agent at the Capt.
tol, kept in his stock all winter and spring
the leading political speeches OF the session.
The sales we're awfully Slow, and the purchasers
were mostly public men: OF the few sold to the
people-by that is meant the vobers-in nearly
every instance those inquired after were for the
sensational features Of debates rather than ar
guements. Zack Chambers speech on JEFF
Davis struck the masses, and not a few copies
were sold. When 1t is taken into consideration
that the mails are crowded with Congressional
literature, averaging, perhaps, ton per week,
franked OF course) the question comes up, 'In
what way does the dissemination of
this class OF reading prove profitable?"
1t hardly makes an impression on the
public mind, because votes are Influenced d.
rectly, to great extent, by appeals from the
stump In the heat Of a political canvas, and by
the public press. 1t is profitable, of course, to
tie printer and the paper maker, this multipli-
cation OF public documents, but other than the
direct profit these derive but small margin is
left to figure upon elsewhere. To show how
little appreciation the Ohio executive demo-
cratic campaign committee places upon the in
discriminate circulation of speeches in pamph-
let form the fact may be cited that at It's recent
meeting 1t agreed to discontinue the practice,
and such speeches as the committee deemed
that the people would read are to be printed as
supplements to newspapers.
