THE BEST .L1rERARY BUREAU

u"
Since Tilden inaugurated the Utter
airy bureau" as a leading feature in
presidential campaigns in 1876, it has
grown to enormous dimensions and is
the main reliance of all political par
ties. The speakers, once the chief re-
lance, have fallen to second place and
are regarded as useful only as a sort
of stimulant to local energy. They are
not expected longer to sway the multi
tude and convince and convert, but
are still useful to get crowd to-
gether and warm them up, to fire their
hearts, get them to talking rouse
their party prejudices, depict the aw-
full calamities to follow the victory of
the other fellows. They are to cam
paign what the picadors are in a Span
ish bull-fght, whose darts irritate and
excite but do not kill The change is
merely the recognition by astute poll
ticians that the time has passed when
mere Wordy eloquence carried audi
ences on its swift current away from
reason, sense and Judgment, and that
the voters today are more thought
full and must be reached through
their minds and judgments instead of
their imaginations.
So we read Of the immense GUAM
titles Of reading matter that are put
out in every campaign by the bureaus
OF the various parties. Already, we
are told tho Rar,,,h1;o,r b,,roa~x =.
Chicago has sent out AZ 00O. 900 pieces
of such matter and Washington re-
ports tell Of similar activity in the
silver headquarters. An interesting
piece of information would be the
money cost of all this effort 1t would
supplement the other information and
permit more accurate judgment as
to the relative benefit of the expendi-
ture. Precision, Of course, is impossi-
bic, for no census can be taken of
those whose views and votes are
changed by the reading matter thus
scattered broadcast over the land. but
we apprehend that, If 1t could be
taken, campaign managers would be
surprised at the paucity of result when
compared with the magnitude of eff
fort.
No one. who has had opportunity to
observe campaigns from the inside Of
committees and from the point of the
voter, but reaches the conclusion that
in no application of energy is the prod
uct SO disproportionate to effort as Is
this preparation and distribution of
reading MATTER during a campaign. IT
is striking Illustration of doing the
right thing at the wrong time. 1t as
sumes that voters mind is still open
to argument and conviction after the
nominations are made and the cam
paign is fully on. and it rests on an
entire misconception Of the conditions.
No period is less favorable to reach
the minds of men than during a cam
paign. The average voter is not then
seeking for facts, but for points with
which to refute his opponent. He
does not want to be convinced Of his
own error, but to convince the other
fellow Of his. who in turn refuses to
be moved. The heat Of the campaign
seals up the approaches to Judgment.
while it melts the reservoirs Of preju-
dice and permits their overflow, cloud

Very notifying, indeed, must be
this constant apologizing for the past
utterances OF their presidential candi-
date that is put upon the editors OF
Republican papers. The thorn is con-
stantly pressed into their sides by cor
respondents who want to know what
Mckinley meant when he said he
wanted "the double standard" or up
braided Cleveland for his hostility to
the Allison and Sherman acts, or voted
for the Bland free-coinage bill, or for
the Matthews bill for the payment of
our bonds in silver. He has changed
his views, they say, since he made his
speech in 1891 at Toledo. when he ac-
cused Cleveland of "dishonoring one
of our precious metals" during his
first administration; for endeavoring
''even before his Inauguration to Of
fee to stop the coinage of the silver
dollar" for trying ''to contract the
circulating medium and demonetize
one of the coins Of commerce, limit the
volume of money among the people.
make money scarce and therefore
dear make money the master,
everything else the servant"
''These criticisms were directed to
Cleveland's first administration" says
one of these unhappy and uncomfort-
able apologists, when he wished to
put a stop to the coinage of silver dol
lars under the Bland-Allison act when
we had coined less than 250,000,000 sill
yer dollars, and six or seven years
before the period in his last admins
tration when it became evident that
we were nearing the danger line in our
continued purchases of silver" Now,
it will be in order for some other per-
sistent inquirer to ask the apologizing
editor what Mckinley meant then in
September, 1894, when at Findlay he
said that, though the Democratic
party had been in control of
every branch Of the government
since March, 1898, ut has given
US no silver legislation except
to strike down the Sherman law and
that "the party that struck silver
down, and gave it the severest blow it
ever had, cannot be relied upon to give
that metal honorable treatment
If the excusing editor should reply
that there is ample time between that
and 1895 to change an opinion, he
might be further asked why every
kind of effort to get this statesman to
give out some opinion during the ante
convention campaign was futile, and
when, to every interviewer, he had
only the answer: 81 have nothing to
say" Did Hanna represent him when
he was resisting the Eastern Repub-
licans in the convention with their de-
mand for declaration for gold
standard? Did Foraker represent him
when he said that the convention
would declare for "bimetalIism? Who
inspired the plank of the Ohio plat
form which sounded the keynote of
McKinley's campaign? By the time
these editors have got through with
their explanations, excuses and apol-
ogies for their candidate they will wish
