Eloquence counts for much when ac-
ton is Immediately taken on the plea OF
the speaker. In the trial Off Warren
Hastings, Richard Brinsley Sheridan
spoke against his impeachment and
made such brilliant speech that Sir
William Pitt moved an immediate adj
journment because the people were too
much under. the influence Of the mag
uetism OF the orator. That oratory
sways the emotions of tho masses cannot
be questioned when so many citations
fits influence can be made. If the
convention at Cincinnati in 1876 had
taken a vote after Ingersoll had finished
his masterful presentation OF Blaine's
name it is likely that his eloquence in
connection with the Plumed Knights
popularity would have carried the Man
from Maine through. Conkling's pol
ished diction came near swaying the
convention when he presented the
Man from AppOmatox,
And It's famous apple tree.
A gentleman from Michigan in the
same convention sickened the hearts Of
Blaiue's followers when in presenting
his name he designated him as James
&C" Blaine. Senator Frye, seeing the
effect on the convention, Immediately
leaped into the breeGh and inspiration
helped him to turn chagrin into enthu-
siasm. While a nomination does not
depend on oratory a cause is often in
jured by slovenly and careless speech,
and the literature of politics contains no
brighter specimens of eloquence than
the efforts Of those who have presented
candidates to the various Republican
conventions, if We except the magni-
ficcnt presentation of Hancock's name
to the Democratic convention Mt Cincin-
natl in 1880 by Daniel Dougherty, the
silver tOngued orator, Of Philadelphia.
In the case OF the Democratic conven'
ton ut st. Louis no eloQuence will be
expended on Cleveland; he inspires no
tongues in his own party, and the only
plea for him will be his industry ~
turning the Republicans out OF office.

The tail OF the National Democratic
ticket will be heavier than the head, for
fact. According to the dispatches, but
one or two delegations bore banners
whcreon was portrait OF Grover the
the Great, while twould have been diff
cult to lind in that vast Convention IN
individual who did not wear the tradi-
tional red bandanna in honor OF the
"old Roman" who must be content with
the second place. So it will be through
the campaign. AS in 1854, the tail will
give weight to the ticket.
T. For the first time in the history OF the
country, the entire interestin a National
Democratic Convention is conferred in
the nomination for the Vice President
There is no controversy, suggests con-
temporary, ut least none that reaches the
public ear, concerning the head OF the
ticket. This, says another, does not sig
nifty harmony, but rather unity-the
kind Of unity which results from sub.
mission to the rule OF olliceholder, who
themselves have been driven by the olH-
cial whip. To be absolutely fair, another
contributing condition must also be
noted-the astounding poverty OF the
Democratic party in material for leader
ship. Cleveland's Administration has
designedly degraded the great men of
his party and lifted up the little fellows,
so that to-day not only has he no rival,
hut no Democratic politician in the
country could wage respectable cam
paign rs a candidate for the Presidency
il Cleveland should voluntarily retire.
Like the Democratic ticket OF 1854, it
will be badly dciormed, The tail viii
be where the head ought to be, if states
manship goes for anything in the selec-
ton OF President for these United
States, But u dictator has the party by
the throat, and it cannot be otherwise.
By methods that bear a strong flavor Of
ward politics, and tactics that may have
been acquired during long connection
with local rings OF Buffalo, Cleveland,
the wire puller, has manipulated the
party machinery for his own personal
ends, and Thurman, the statesman, must !

AnIe ran nnd a Llttle mend.

Cincinnati TtHts'S1F,
There appears to be q disposition on
the part OF the President to revive thu
old Albany Regency and enlarge on the
dictatorial policy OF that close-commun.
ion coterie. At the same time he would
have the roll OF the Regency short one
and he himself would call it, and, in call
ing it, would begin and end with the
name OF Grover Cleveland. The old
Regency was content to dictate the Pres
idency oithe country; Cleveland assumes
not only to name the candidate for first
place, but insists upon naming the man
who shall manipulate the bow to the
second violin. This is presumption
that the ratification meeting OF to-mor-
row at st. Louis ought to rebuke. 1t is
assuming an authority which even the
men at the head Of the Roman imperial
power often found it hard to exert, Its
virtually naming his successor in case he
does not survive the second term Ia
which he hatters himself he can be
elected. With no more mental strength
and courage than that possessed by
Pharmacies, King of Pontus, he has be-
come as dictatorial as Cesar. II Thur
man possesses too much rugged virtue,
and is not therefore acceptable to Cleve-
land, he is precisely the man the Demo
Gratis ought to nominate for second place
The ticket will then be much as it was
in 1884. 1t will have big, big tail and
a little, little head.

Inr,r.olI ON Labor aud 'rnrifr.


Col. Robert Ingersoll has a very in
teresting interview in the New York
Pres on general politics, but more es'
pecially relating to labor, and says that
il labor received more in other lands
than in this country the tide of emigra'
ton would be changed. This is a
natural sequence which the most ignor-
ant cannot fail to appreciate. II . man
at home-liying in the scenes of his
childhood, containing the memories OF
his parents and the legends Of his an
cestors-will leave it for q strange land
is it not mild suppositiOn that he is
striving to better himself. The people
Of Denmark, England, Sweden, Ger
many, Scotland, Ireland, Italy and
France are coming to these shores in
great numbers, and il, as is claimed by
the free traders, that they are enjoying
the fruits of their labors in those coun'
tries why do they seek new and uncer.
tain ventures? Ingersoll says that in
these countries there are only three
things within the reach Of the working
men-"sir, light and water; probably a
fourth might be added-death."
On the protective tariff and free trade
questions the Colonel is very delicious.
In answer to the inquiry as to what
effect the protective tariff hos on tho
condition of labor in this country, no
says:
"To the extent that the tariff keeps
out the foreign article it is a direct pro-

1t is likely that the West Virginia del
egation will run into snag at the st.
Louis Convention. At their organiza-
ton yesterday they, in effect, declared
themselves in line with Randall Demo-
Gratis, or conservative protectionists,"
who are opposed to the Mills bill and
the spirit Of the Presidents message,
and who want the tariff plank OF 1884
re.adopted. The cat was let out OF the
bag when Delegate fancy offered and
the delegation adopted a resolution call
ing for re-adoption Of the plank.
Now, Cleveland's friends and the
friends OF the Mills bill are unalterably
opposed to this thing. They say it
would be direct slap in the Presidents
face and would be nuts" for the Repub'
LEANS. A re-Ndoption OF the plank Of
81, they declare, would be u straddle
aud suicidal in the extreme. But Mr..
Henry G. Davis, Mr.. Clements, Senator
Kenna and other leaders OF the party in
West Virginia, all conservative pro
tectionists, are present, representing the
Randall idea, and they know that they
may as well hang the Democratic fiddle
on the wall il Watterson tariff plank
is adopted. Watterson and the Presi-
dent want the resolution to be stated in
plain English. What the West Virgin
ians want is straddler that can be con-
strued any way and every way and to
suit all factions and localities, as the 'S4
plank was capable of being twisted.
y They may be disappointed. Mr.. Clevc-
land, the dictator OF the Convention,
does not desire that Mr.. Randal's SYM
pathizers shall gain victory; neither
does he want it to be said that he was
slapped in his own Convention. What
ever the Presidents faults, lack of frank
ness is not one OF them. His policy is
free trade, and that is the policy oi.the
majority OF his party, and he intends to
run on that sort of a platform. There
will be no straddling about it.
These Democratic leaders of West Vir-
ginia have in their speeches and news
papers given qualified endorsement OF
the Presidents message and the Mills
bill, but that was only a blind. Being
conservative protectionists" at heart,
they depended upon the Convention re-
adopting the old platform; then they
thought they would be able to weather
through the campaign on it, and ignore
the Presidents true policy and the Mills
bill altogether. Mr.. Kenna, particularly,
looked for this, and Mr.. Davis has SO
much as said it. The Democrats OF
West Virginia are having their eyes
opened to the position OF their leaders.

lection TO American labor Everything
in this country is on a larger scale than
in any other. There is far more gener-
osity among the manufacturers and mer-
chants and millionaires and capitalists
OF the United States than among those
OF any other country, although they are
bad enough and mean enough here.
"But the great thing for the lahoring
man in the United States Is that he is
regarded as a man. lie 10 unit Of P0-
litical power. His vote counts just us
much as that of the richest and most
powerful. The laboring man has to be
consulted. The candidate has either TO
be his friend, or to pretend to be his
friend, before he can succeed. A man
running for the Presidency could not
say the slightest word against the labor
ing man, or calculated TO put stain
upon industry, without destroying every
possible chance OF success. Generally
every candidate tries to show that he is
laboring man, or that his father was
before him. There is in this country
very little OF the spirit OF cast-the most
infamous spirit that ever infested the
heartless breast or the brainless head OF
q human being"
"What will be the effect on labor OF q
departure in American policy in the di-
rection Of free trade2"
"If free trade could be adopted to-
morrow there would be an instant
shrinkage Of values in this country;
Probably the immediate loss would equal
$20, 0OO, 900, 000-that is to say one.third
Of the value OF the country. No one can
tell its extent. All things are SO inter
woven that to destroy one industry Grip
pies another, and the influence keeps on
until it touches the circumference OF hui
man interests.
81 believe that labor is a blessing. It
never was and never will be cure. II
is blessed thing to labor for your wife
and childfen, for your father and mother,
and for the ones you love. 1t is bless
ed thing to have IN object in lite-some-
thing to do-something to call into play
your best thoughts, to develop your
faculties and to make you man. How
beautiful, how charming, are the dreams
OF the young mechanic, the artist, the
musician, the actor, and the student.
How perfectly stupid must be the life OF
a young man with nothing to do, no
ambition, no enthusiasm-that is to say,
nothing Of the divine in him; the young
man with an object in life, Of whose
brain u great thought, u great dream has
taken possession, and in whose heart
there is n great, trobbing hope. He
looks forward to successful wife, chill
dren, home-all the blessings and sacred
joys Of human lie. lie thinks OF wealth
and fame and honor, and OF long, gen
ial, golden happy autumn.
"Work gives.the feeling of independ
ence, OF self.respeCt. A man who doei
something necessarily puts u value Oh
himself. He feels that he is part O
the worlds force. The idler-no matter
what he says, no matter how scornfull!
lie may look at the laborer-in his yer!
heart knows exactly what he is; ht
knows that he is Il counterfeit, poor
worthless imitation OF man.
