The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1891-10-29


The President has long ago convinced
Americans that he possessed the very
rare faculty of being able to say the right
thing at the right time and in the right
place to more marked extent than any
public man of the time. and Saturday af-
ternoop, in ten minute speech, to the
great Methodist Ecumenical Conference,
on international arbitration, he displayed
this peculiar faculty to the great pleasure
tinguished foreign delegates attendant
upon the conference. These men know
what true oratory is, as nine-tenths of
them are pulpit orators of great fame in
their own countries, and this is the
opinion of one of them-Rev. Il. Lloyd
Jones-publicly expressed: "My visit
to America has realized the consumation
of my highest ideals in the presence and
the magnificent speech. l should say
that every rational Englishman will re-
turn to England feeling that republic
! is the only true form of Government.
Never have | heard man so expressing
the heart of christianity, and if his pc.
sition was simply the result of the acct
dent of birth would have never expect.
ed such deliverance. The welcome he
gave methodism of the White House
would have been impossible at Windsor.
II you rolled up all the. Kings and Queens
we ever had from the days of the con.
querer down to the Prince of Wales you
would not make so fine man as Presi.

GUS speech as We heard to day." Other
delegates were equally as warm in their
praise. ,,
Secretary Blaine's strong and able
letter endorsing the Mckinley tariff act
causes no surprise among his friends here
who knew that his much quoted "bushel
of wheat and pound of pork" letter was
written before the reciprocity amend
ment was adopted, indeed it was written
to secure the adoption of that amend.
ment, which has already proved of so
, much benefit to the country.
