HELD UP HIS LIFE
Professor Demmon Analyses
the Character of
SHAKESPEARE's RICHARD III"
The Origin Of the Historical Play and
the Elements thar Make il
Popular.

The audience, that greeted Prof.
Demmon IN Fountain Street church
last night WAS very large, notwlth-
standing the bad weather. Those who
have heard Prof. Demmon feel &c If
they could not afford 10 lose one OF he
lectures. The subject last night was
"Historicsl Tragedy-Rlensrd Ill"
Prof. Demmon gave Coleridge's dehni-
ton of q historical play add ssid the
object of historical plays is doubtless 10
stir up national pride and patriotic emo
tons. He explained how the disregard
Of spaces of time in the historical plays
can be overlooked. The events por-
trsyed in the historical plays happened
60 long before that time that the spaces
of time between events did not seem 60
great. The lecturer touched upon the
rise Of the historical play in Eng
land. The writers Of these plays we're
| stimulated by the reformation and
by the rapid development OF national
| feeling under the reign Of Elizabeth.
Ii was just after the defeat If the
| Spanish Armada when Shakespeare
arrived in London and attached him.
self to one OF the theatrical companies
then playing on the outskirts of that
city. II was at the time when the
pride OF Englishmen was inflated by
| the defeat OF spain and the patriotic
| feelings stirred into fame by the ms
torical plays made them very popular.
Copied From Marlowe
II is probable that Shakespeare
wrote ab ut the time OF Marlowe, and
| IT is the opinion of some critics that the
| play Richard III was first written by
| Marlowe and Was simply remodeled
| by Shakespeare. Greene's mention of
| Shakespeare in 1892 was read showing
| the jealousy with which Shakespeare
was regarded 10y the other playwrights
| OF the times. At this point the
| speaker took up the character of Rich
| ard III. and analysed his villany. He
eaid Shakespeare had embodied in
| Richard that native maiignance which
| is widespread IN human nature. which
| crops out IN that desire which boys
often show to see dumb animals suffer.
| Furnival thought his villisnv was due
| to ambition; Schlegel thought it was
| due to selfiehmenI; Coleridge thought

| liability of the language to the charac-
tiers Was shown by reading the CONVEX
satlon of the two murderers and their
reference to the conscience, and by
reading the soliloquy of Richard, in
which he alludee TO his conscience.
The tragic fate of the women and chill
oren in the play was touched upon.
| The next lecture will be gwen one
week from next Friday. The subject will
be Hamlet. AT the close of the lecture
President Butterheld stated that at
the next lecture the front doors Will
be closed at 7:45, and those who arrive

With commendsHe grace, The
Leader, last evening. proposed the
name of William Aldrich Tateum for the
speakership Of the next house of rep
resentatives. This Was simply an hon.
orable anticipation of the desires Of .
large number of republicans which
have been more or less freely expressed
since the political status of the legisla-
ture was settled.
Mr.. Tateum is frank enough to &C.
knowledge that he is . candidate. Ii
is not saying too mnch of him to say
that he asplres TO position. the duties
of which. he Is as well qualified to dis
charge satisfactorily as any man elected
TO the house. Having . ready knowl-
edge of parliamentary rules, dignified
and scholarly bearing, he would bring
TO the station those attributes which
distinguish the urbsne and impartial
presiding officer Of deliberstve as
sembly.
So tar a. heard from Mr.. Tateum is
the only aspirant for the honor in the
Kent delegation. In the event that
his colleagues join in an endorsement
of him for the place he will have the
enthusiastic support of the press and
people of this city without regard to
political utilization. THE HERALD is
committed To the interests of Grand
Rapids as against the opposing inter
ests of all other cities, and if Mr..
Tateum IS the sole candidate for the
place he will be given every reasonable
lift towards the goal.
He is lawyer Of fine abilities, a
close student of municipal law and an
exemplary type of our best citizenship.
He would honor the city In the speak
er's chair and prove to be acceptable to
the body over which if elected he will be
called to preside. Tateum against the

Grover Cleveland is not dlsmayed in
the face of tho stupendous RESPONSE
bility an unthinkiug and unreasonlng
majority of electors have placed upon
hIsexpansive shoulders. So far as the re-
ports throw any light on the subject,
ne surveys the field of victory with no
misgivings and is content to accept the
conditions realized out of his theories.
He is calm, unruffied. imperturbable.
He Is the embodiment of the inertia of
q determination so fixed that the pow.
ers of darkness could not prevail to
move him jot or title, as he surveys
the ponderoslty of himself and the dis
tinctlon shown him.
Mr.. Cleveland 10 not an ordinary
man; he Is an extraordinary man. His
greatness is not measured by the
breadth of his intellect, nor the girth
of his waistband, but in his unalterabIe
decision of character. Cleveland Is q
moderate free trader. His celebrated
message of 1887 was capable of but one
construction, and it was accepted as q
free trade bull. He thought he was
right then, and thinking so, stood for
the presidency and lost. That defeat
changed his opinion and it hasremained
changed ever since.
1t Will be remembered that the
Cleveland men At Chicago pres
ented . series of resolutions, face
tiously dubbed "a PLATFORM" through
Chairman Jones of st. Louis.
The tariff plank was written by ex-Sec-
rotary of War Villas, VINO was called
upon to read il. The moment tina,
plank was read the angry Hill men saw
in il the ear-marks of Cleveland. I,
was . dodge-a straddle-a compro.
mise. Instantly Larry Neal of Ohio
demanded to be heard and be was
heard. Imperious Henry Wstterson
took the platform, and in burning
words of ridicule and reprosch lam.
basted the committee for surrender
ing the tariff fight in sight of victory"
Then the snti-CIeveland men rallied
their forces and appealed to the south
to stand by the cardinal principles OF
rock-ribbed democracy. They voted
/ down Clevelsnd's compromise and
adopted Larry Meals denunciation OF
the Mckinley bill. The ruse thus en-
pl0yed to defeat Cleveland failed. He
was nominated and bis letter of accept
snss was 80 deftly drawn that the
fsngs of the free trade adder we're con-
cesled between the lines- Republicans
will not deceive themselves into the
belief that Cleveland viii permit his
party to push him over the brink of
the free trade precipice into the abyss
Of political oblivion. The democracy
has demanded free t-ade in no uncer.
tain voice. Let them have il by the
votes OF republican senators add the

relegsted into lnnOcuous desuetude.
Every honest Detroiter, regardless of

pleased with the result. 1t is possible
now that we shall have q respectable
government in Wayne county for a
few years. 1t will be some time before
the machine can ever recover it's power.
The election is really triumph for the
democratic faction led by Dan Cam.

time rival, Thompson.
Il don't think Detroit has any fault
to find with the result in Michigan.
We should have liked to see Frederick
Marvin elected. Many republicans in
the city voted for HIM, but If to elect
Marvin meant complete democratic
triumph, we are willing to accept the
result as 1t is."

RICHARDSON ELECTED.
The Latest Figures Give Him q Plural
ity of II.

The Eagle last night printed some
"official" figures on the congressional
vote in the townships of Kent county,
which, had they not lacked the trifling
element of truth, would have been less
misleading. By them Mr.. Belknap's
plurality was computed at 9 votes.
But the Eagles figures were wrong.
Scion was credited with having given
Belknap 23S, and Richardson 50; but
Richardson received 83 votes in that
township. Alpine was given as having
cast 127 votes for Belknap and l37 for
Richardson; but Alpine gave Richard
son l63. Belknap received 274 votes IN
Sparta instead of 273, as stated. With
these exceptions and the fact that Cas-
cade has not been reported officially,
the Eagles statements were right. The
correct figures, instead of giving Bel
KNAPP q plurality Of 9, give Richardson
q plurality of IL.

New Packing Deal in Chicago Touches
Up the Big Four"

CHICAGO, Nov. 1I.-Within q few
weeks powerful corporation will be
formed by the consolidation of the
international Packing & Provision
company and the Chicago Packing Il
Provision company. Henry Botsford,
president of the Chicago Packing 4
Provision company, will assume the
active management Of the entire con-
Germ. The amalgamation will be
effected by passing the control of the
International company to the Chicago
company, and the consolidated con-
Germ will take the name of the latter.
Such deal is of great importance in
the packing world. The corporation
thus formed will not only be stronger,
but more far-reaching tnan the CON-
bIned interests of the "Big Four" The
united companies will control over
81 ,000, 900 of reserved Tor working) cap
ital, IN addition to the plants repre-
sented by stocks aud bonds. The cap

Germ has capitalization of sl.240, 900.
Moreover Il IL minated that still other
