POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING.

AS matter of political history it is
Interesting to note the changes in con-
dTcting political matters from that
common a half century ago. Fifty OF
more years ago there were no office
seekers, who were openly such, as in
these times. Those who desired office
preserved an unobtrusive quiet, and
trusted to their friends to bring them
into notice. No aspirants for Office
were seen perambulating through The
country reminding the people of their
personal merits and their just claims
for promotion to some official position.
Seldom were there attempts to pack a
convention, taking advantage to defeat
the voice of the people in the selection
of candidates. There was once such a
sentiment as political modesty, but
that faded out years ago. Men have
now as little hesitancy in soliciting an
Office as u wood saver has in asking
his neighbor for the job of saving his
wood pile. Whether The modern prac-
tice of obtaining office is an improve
ment over that of the earlier days of
the Republic every man can decide for
himself. 1t is entirely proper for a
nominee for an important Office to APP
pear before the people and express him.
self publicly on the issues involved in
his election.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1884-11-07

Not only the illiterate and ignorant,
but some who had been respected for
intelligence, and who had declared for
Blaine, suddenly changed front and
pronounced against him. Was there
ever a more pitiable spectacle in our
political history? A portion of our
population suddenly thrown into the
commotion Of a boiling caldroH, and
for what? Simply because a clergy
man, on his own responsibilities
clergyman over eighty years of age,
and perhaps in his dotage-foolishly
applied to the Democratic party the
words "rum, Romanlsm and rebellion
The marvellous conclusion arrived al
from this statement of facts, is thai
Blaine and the Republican party were
responsible for the words spoken by
a single mani Was there ever any
thing more supremely ridiculous?

ARE POLITICAL SPEECHES
PROFITABLE?

Political speeches by campaign
speakers, if fairly and honestly given,
would be instructive and profitable.
The people need to know more of the
machinery of the government and its
management. Every government has
a policy, which ought to be for the best
advantage of the people, and it is on
the question of that policy political
parties differ. Much valuable infor-
nation might be impaired to voters,
better qualifying them for an intelli-
gent exercise of their franchise rights,
if campaign orators would confne
themselves to such facts as appear on
the record, and substantiated by Off
cial statistics. Much of the political
speaking in the last campaign was not
confined to the legitimate text, butin :
dulged in personal abuse. Especially
is this true of very many of the Demo-
cratic speakers, the burden of whose
harangues was leveled against Blaine
traducing his character and attempt
ing to fasten crimes upon him. This
in fact, constituted the stock Of
falsely called arguments of very con-
siderable class of takers. With great
numbers of illiterate voters, such per-
sonal slang was more effective than
any amount of logical argument, based
on the facts of history. 1t will not be
said that all Democratic speakers in
the late campaign we're of that class
there were exceptions.
If Republican speakers assaulted the
private character of Grover Cleveland,
it was on admitted charges against
him charges for shameful acts, which
his friends did not deny. The charges
against Blaine were not proven, for
certainly many prominent Democrats
did not credit their truth. The time
will not come when Presidential cam
paigns will be conducted on higher
plane of public propriety, and exempt
ed from low scandal, until the educa-
ton of the masses becomes more gener-
al, and when voters shall be controlled
more by the logic of reason than by
nonsensical defamation.
