a discussion OF the subject with a
woman His answer spread like Wild
nre And was the talk OF the town to-
night.
Il first hegan speaking IN the inter
est OF the Republican party in 1872
during Grants second canvass and
have been through every campaign
since, under the direction OF the State
Central Committee. During that time
have not lost ten nights. During that
time l have, OF course, met with many
tunny experiences. A few DAYS ago
rode on the train with Winans between
Portland and Grand Lege. We got
into conversation and among other
things was mentioned the offer of the
Detroit Evening News 20 give $50 10 the
person guessing nearest 10 the vote for
Governor, Mr.. Winans asked ME how
| would guess and | said that If | con-
templated competing tor the prize
should say that he would be defeated
by l4,62l votes. He said, Why, Mrs.
Hsslett, James Mcmillan only claims
10000 majority for Turner | asked
him If he expected TO be elected and he
answered me no. Now that concession
makes me think less OF Mr.. Wlnans.
He should have more back bone and
not weaken IN that manner. He should
claim that ne ls sure OF election until
the last moment"
There is one thing that / have
learned during this campaign, and that
is the farmers have been giving more
ton and they have commenced TO look
st 1t in an intelligent manner. In the
cities there are workingmen who are
painfully ignorant on the tariff ques-
ton. The trouble is that they do not
have time TO study IL. They work from
early morn till night and when they re-
turn home they are mentally and phys
Ically tagged out. After doing a few
chores they go to bed 10 prepare for the
next days work. ] remember on one
occasion | spoke in this city. That
was Fix or seven years ago. A work
man employed in one Of the furniture
factories had had ms arm injured and
IN consequence could not work. He
came to hear me. He would not have
done If IL had not been for his injury
Thenext night he went 10 Greenback
meeting and next to a Democratic
meeting. Finally ne came to ME and
said: Mrs. Haslett, / have been to
hear Democrat, Greenback ana Repub-
lIcan speakers. Their stories were so
conflicting that / know some of them
are lying. | have come to you and as
you are a woman | know you will tell
me the truth Thus you see ne was
not mentally shie to reach 4 conclu-
sion himself.
II have found during this campaign
that the people want solid facts laid be-
fore them. They do not want funny
stories, although they laugh at them, but
not with the enthusiasm of old It mas
come to that point IN politics that the
people want the truth. speak tomOr-
