be continued. And so, 70 put new lie
into his expiring cause, and 70 cap the
climax Of the hippodtome campaign
that he has been conducting, CHAIR
man McGraR has gotten up his "elo.
quence on Wheels" and will run spe-
cial train through the district and %
other points in the state. On board
this train will be Bourke Cochran and
others. While many people are IN
want and badly In need Of money, this
special train will be run on o grand
scale at an expense Of thousands OF dol.
lars. The extravaganza Of this special
train and the thousands 1t will cost can
easily be paid for by Mr.. wilson's COM
mittee out OF tho 10000 subscribed BY
Mr.. Straus, the New Yorkimporter, who
was with Mr.. Wilson IN London, aud
Mr.. Rouss and other New York impor-
ters. The fact OF this 10000 contribu'
tion has already been published in
number OF newspapers. Another won
derful feature OF this last crowning et-
fort OF Mr.. Wilson'S hippodrome cam
paign will be the presence OF tho Tam
many Hall orator, Bourke Cochran.
THE SANE COCHRAN.
This is the same Bourke Cochran who
arose In the house OF representatives,
and, in terrific tones and with Wlther-
ing eloquence, arraigned Mr.. Wilson
and bitterly condemned him for accept
ing the senate bill.
On the 18th Of August Mr.. Cochran
used, on the floor OF the house OF repre-
sentatiyeS, among other words deuounc-
ing the Democratic tariff bill now in
force, the following language;
"And what are we 70 gain by this ab-
ject and ignoble course?
"Why, we are told that we may get
concession OF five or ten per cont from
the consent OF the protected interests OF
this countryl Now, Mr.. Speaker, l de-
sire TO state here that in my humble
Judgment the measure which We are
now asked to pass through this house
and to make the permanent law OF this
country is more obnoxious protective
measure than DE Mckinley ac!, which 1t is
designed to supplant. Cries Of dissent
on the Democratic side and jeers.] Mr..
Speaker, am addressing myself to the
intelligence OF the house; its Ignorance
l cannot enlighten in twenty minutes."
TApplausc on the Republican side.
TWO MONTHS LATER.
Now, but two months later, a re.
markable spectacle is to be presented to
the people Of this district and state.
This same Cochran, who denounced Mr.
Wilson in Congress and reviled the
tariff law which Mr.. Wilson Is now de-
Tending, is to be here to speak for that
same Wilson aud support that same
law. On which occasion will the people
believe Mr.. Cochran, and what weight
ia to be attached to his words now?
And so the wonderful hippodrome
cam paign for Mr.. Wilson and free trade
goes-on, with its evasion Of the issues
and the repudiation to-day OF what was
said yesterday.
Contrast this with the earnest, digni-
fed campaign Of Mr.. Dayton and his
friends on the lines OF the plain issues
OF the contest. Mr.. Dayton is going
over the district as plain citizen, with
out show or ostentatIon, meeting the
people face to face and standing solely
for the cause he represents. lie has
not been combining hippodrome per.
formauces with his candidacy and by
the use OF money getting up exhibitions
to draw crowds. Dayton's ability, high
character and devotion to the interests
of his district are commencing them
selves to the people everywhere, and
standing for the people he will be tn
umphantly elected despite all the hip
podrome performances, money power
and federal ofFice-holders that can be
used against him.
