wherever he Is seen- He has the high
forehead, the sharp, penetrating eyes,
the prominent but deiicately moulded
nose and the compressed bps and firm
mouth snd chin which mark every &C
curste likeness Of the great Corsican.
Mckinley seldom speaks in the house,
bat when he does every word which
he uttefs h listened to with the most
marked attention He IL regarded as
the hest informed member Of the
house on the subject Of the tariff. and
he has the splendid faculty Of pouring
his knowledge out in . convincing
food of words. His voice Is deep and
strong and - clear - . bell. He Is
altogether one Of the most notable men
in public life, and 1t is not to be won
dered at that his attack on the Mills
bill was awaited with the greatest In
terest. His speech Is said to have
been. by far the best protection speech
that has been delivered since the be
ginning Of the discussion. He spoke,
Of course. from the standpoint OF q
Republican protectionist and was free
from the endorsements which sur
rounded Randall. He assaulted the
false theories of the free traders with
out mercy and fought like . giant
against the iniquities Of the Mills bill.
The telegraph declares that his speech
produced . profound impression, and
well IL might.
The third speaker was Breckenridge
Of Kentucky. who may be described
IS the opposite Of Mckinley in aim osi
everything. He. too. served in the
war. but il was not on the side Of the
union. He Is brilliant. audacious,
eloquent. There Is a dash, . quick
impulsive movement. in his speech
which attracts the attention of his au.
diencs and arouses the impressionable
10 enthusiasm. He Is . creditable
representative Of the great Breckin-
ridge family, and there are not want
ing those who believe that there are in
store for him honors greater than any
he has yet attained. He is . free
trader from principle and his whole
heart is set upon the passage Of the
Mills bill 1t is not 70. be wondered
at. therefore. that. with his great pow
ers and his strong convictions on the
subject. he made speech worthy OF
those against which il was directed.
1t was decidedly the ablest defense OF
the Mills BIN that has yet been offered,
and II was received with unbounded
enthusiasm by the friends of the ad.
ministration and its policy.
1t has been long time since there
has been such day in the house Of
representatives, and it is likely to be a
long time before there is such another
The efforts Of Randall, Mckinley and
Breckenridge were IN every respec,
worthy of those past days Of the re
public when the voice OF the orator
was not drowned by the rumble of thu
printing press.
