A WEARISOME SPEECH
The committees Of arrangements for future am
ners OF the society probably will be warned py the
speech of Senator John T. Morgan, OF Alabama on
Monday night to limit the time Of all men who are
70 a dinners
Morgan's speech was much too long for such an oc-
casion particularly there were other speakers 10
follow him.
He talked in a rambling way for half an hour and
then he pulled out the copy Of the speech which ne
had prepared in advance andproceeded to read tha''
lie read on for more than hour longer, wearying
the audience. until some of the men IN the pa"que'
ing hall fairly lost patience. His tedious speech ue
layed the other addresses so much that IL was III
possible for the city newspapers to report them
fairly and the late speakers might fairy nave
claimed that the setting back OF the order oil
speeches In that manner was an injustice IL Is d
fault with many Southern orators TO be lohg-"Hueu
rbe,r oratorv is profuse and they are inclined TO
spin out their speeches until they become pioSSi''
Thomas F. Bayard the present Ambassador al 'he
Court of ST James made such mistake some
wears ago in an after-dnner address before the oi
;and Societv of Ncw-York, when he read from
manuscript solemnly. in low tone as II ohcla'i'is

on Monday night were not IN harmony "'.m 20
