Again:--" "The young voluntee,
speedily distinguished himself, wa'
the first man over the breastwork,
ut Missionary ridge. This wa
Forakerism."
So 1t was. Where did this bit
of information come from origin
ally? History has failed to men
ton. In nm advancing line of 90,
600 men, stretching for mile ol
more along either the crest or base
or u wooded ridge, who can say
that this or that man led? Nobody
but Foraker. The information
came from him. This is Foraker
ism.
ale conducted himself with such
intrepid bravery in engagement
after engagement that he won
promotions and was quarter OF
u century later referred to by Gen
Slocum as young man not then
20 years of age who was full of
energy and activity, always re-
liable. This was Forakerism."
Nobody doubts that he was u
good soldier. There was II million
good soldiers in the northern army
thousands just as young who won
promotions and other thousands
who deserved commissions they
did not get. We have hundreds of
men in Franklin county-scarred
veterans who fought splendidly on
scores of fields and yet they are
too modest to talk of their own
h ,roism and too manly to urge it as
the basis of claim for Office. In
deed Foraker has ordered the dis
missal of guards from the peniten-
tiary because they did not support
him, who were as good soldiers as
and less fortunate in escap-
ing the accidents of battle.
Why should Slocum forget a
member of his own staff? Why
should Foraker's friends mention
the trivial fact at all unless for lack
Of something better to say.
"Returning from the war when
peace was declared, the youthful
wasted no hours i'm idle
less, but entered college. This was
Forakerism."
Yes; and if Foraker's fellow
students may be believed, he left
he Ohio Wesleyan university be-
'ause a colored man was admitted.
This has been denied, but 1 assume
he denial is but another exhibit
ion of FOrakeriSm.

The alleged editorial to which
