Political Speakers and Audiences.

Biblical Recorder.I
Many people are printing lists of
pohtical-speaking appointments. 1t
would be hard to say how many
people in this State will attend them
in the next few weeks. The num-
Der will be great. The efforts to
persuade the people will be strenu-
Gus, more strenuous than in many
years. The campaign orator faces
his audience usually with two pur-
poses in his mind: First, to arouse
his partizans, that they may exert
themselves in behalf of the party he
represents; secondly, to convert
those who are not of his political
persuasion. An orator may seek to
accomplish these purposes in several
ways. He may excite passion, he
may SOW prejudice, he may employ
ridicule, he may smirch the charac-
ter Of the representatives of the
other party to which he is opposed.
But he will do none Of these with
out presuming that the people whom
he addresses are unintelligent. One
WuO lCdIIy SCOho W AAAVA LII IAO pOV'
pie will bear them loftier message
There are principles underlying ev.
cry political movement of the time
and the true educator Of the people
will discuss these principles in the
light of history and Of present con
ditions. The people who attend pub
lie speakings should bear this i,
mind. The citizen who would serv'
his country should spurn any lov
aim on the part of a man who pre-
sumes to show him the best way. l
the cause is good, there is good rea
son backing it; and efforts to max
J mad, to arouse prejudice, to ridicule
or misrepresent, either prove the un
worthiness of the speaker or his cause
Cool heads in campaign will frus
trate demogogs; cool heads will re
fuse to allow a speaker to lea
them blindly; cool heads will thin
r for themselves; and one who wi
}. not think for himself is not worth
of citizenship.

The Central Labor Union received
Yesterday from the Central Labor
Union OF Cleveland, o., a letter con
tanning what purports to be the la
bor record of Mark Hanna. Tae
letter is ss follows:
jacob Z. Bausch, Secretary c. l.. T.:
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of
the 24th inst, in which you desire
to learn the attitude OF NJ. II. Han
Ia relating to labor unions, | will
say that previous TO the Republican
convention at st. Louis the G. l.. L.
of this city propounded number of
questions for the Republican work
ingmen Of this country to ask of NJ.
II. Hanna. In that manifesto i.
was charged that Hanna had wreck
ed the Seamen's unions of the lower
lake regions, that he had smashed
the union of his street railway EN-
ployees aud refuses to allow them to
organize now: that he had assisted
in destroying the. Mineworkers
unions of PennsylvaI la; that he had
attempted 70 break up the carpen-
ter's unions OF this city by emyloy-
ing scabs on new mansion at crit
ical time this spring when the eight
hour day was being put into effect;
that he had q strike OF laborers III
the shipyard in which he is interest
ed this spring and told a committee
of the men, who demanded the same
scale Of wages paid in competing
yard. viz: $1.35 a day, that if they
voted for Mckinley they might re-
ceive higher wages. and lodged the
issue.
Neither Mr.. Hanna nor any of his
satellites have dared to meet these
questions and they are unanswered to-
day. Here in Cleveland he is SO
well known as labor crusher that
not solitary member of a labor Or
ganization Or in fact any other citi-
zen, will attempt to defend the mans
malOdorous record.
will add that several weeks age
Mr.. Hanna attempted, through a
third party, to have the president OF
the Central Labor Union or myself
wait upon him to have a talk" but
his overtures were treated with the
scorn that they deserved.
If Hanna has anything to say he
can come before the Central Labor
Union and say it. He has beer
challenged to do so.
Yours fraternally.

The University opened last week
with bright prospects of a prosper
Gus year. The first week closed
with total attendance of 504 in all
departments. These are distributed
as follows: Collegiate department,
$50, Law 45, Medicine 26, Summer
School 153. This means, if the ex-
perience of the past is carried out. a
total enrolment of 600.
The freshman class is particularly
promising, numbering already al
most one hundred. A comparison
with the corresponding dsy of last
year is very favorable, and justifies
the assertion that the high water
mark will be easily passed.
DR.. Alderman has his forces al
we'll in hand, and will make a mos,
able and conservative executive. He
outlined his policy in formal ad
dress to the students.
The faculty remains the same as
last year excepting the following

BONDS.

An increase in the bonded debt Of
the United States at this time is en-
tirely without excuse. The issue of
Understanding bonds within the last
| few years has been defended on the
| ground chat they were necessary TO Sc
cure gold with which to redeem United
States notes and Treasury notes, but
this necessity has been imaginary
rather than real.
| Instead of exercising the legal ri ght
vested in the United States TO redeem
its coin in either gold or silver, thu
executive branch of the Government,
has followed precedent established
by former Administration and sur.
rendered the option to the holder OF
the obligations. This administrative
policy leaves the Government at the
mercy of those who find pecuniary
profit in bond issues.
The fact that the dealers in money
and securities have been able to de
plete or protect the Treasury, accord
ing to the changing whims, show
how dangerous it is to permit them t
exercise a controlling influence OF th'
Treasury Department. The Govern
ment of the United States, when ad
ministered in the interest Of all tn
people, is able to establish and eniOrc
its financial policy, not only withou
the aid of syndicates, but in spite G
any opposition which syndicates ma,
present.
TO assert that the Government is de
pending upon the good will or assist
ance of any portion of the people 9th
er than constitutional majority is t
assert that we have government i
form, but without vital force.

Winston county, which has made such
unprecedented strides, will, two years
hence, be placed permanently in the

grand and patriotic speech he delivered
at Double Springs on the LIST instant
Even the unprecedented republicans were
delighted with his argument and elo-
quence, and If we had enough such un-
paralleled and unprecedented democratic
doctrine preached to the people of Win
ston county IN as winning and effective
q manner as Captain Johnston delivered
it, republicanism in Winston county
would be inferred so deeply and so COM
pletely that the most appropriate cpl

entertain no expectation of defeat two

Senator Blanchard of Louisiana passed
through the city last night on his return

attendance at the meeting of the national
democratic committee and the Bryan notl-
fication ceremonies. He is the member of
the national committee from his state Be-
tween trains he fell into the hands of a

SENATOR" said the reporter, what have
you to say about your New York trip and
''Weil," he replied, ct am this far on my
return home, having had the pleasure of
travelling from Washington to this city with
your distinguished fellow citizen, Col. j. w.
Tomlinson. We have compared opinions as
to the New York meeting and fully agree as
to that as well as to the outlook for Bryan
from the eastern standpoint. Whatever he
tells you about these matters l will fully
indorse."
Herald would like a few observations on
the subject from yourself directly
tbaf ag N Sy 1 York nae ne are dninT
good deal of DOWNRIGHT classifying about the
Bryan meeting there. The whole press of
is hostile to Bryan, and intolerant as well
as hostile. You cannot call meeting a
to get in, Nor can you call speech fail
ure, which presents with the clearness and
ability that Bryan's does the great issue
of the greatest presidential campaign in
three decades. The truth is, Bryan's argu-
uieHl III ldNOf Oh Tree COlnuSe is undnSWer-
able, and the godbug press is bowling fail
ure' to cover up its discontinue. The
speech, as an oratorical effort, did not come
up to his Chicago speech, but in it's argu-
ment it is far ahead of the Chicago effort.
'There was no effort on his part at mere
oratory in his New York speech. 1t had
been carefully prepared and was delivered
from manuscript. This was purposely and
deliberately done. The eastern press had
been deridng his fame as an orator; had
described him. as q mere singer together OF
catchy phraSe5; had spoken of him as a
speaker who played to the galleries only
had insisted he was incapable of discussing
in a calm, statesmanlike way great public
questions and all that kind of thing Well,
he gave them an object lesson to the con-
trary He showed that in the calm, logical
quiet, dispassionate, statesmanlike discus
sion of the greatest question of the age
they had no man who is his equal. He spoke
not alone for the 1900 people in Madison
Square Garden; he addressed 70, 900 iof
people in the American republic. His speech
reached the hearts as well the minds of
his supporters, and into the intellects of his
enemies it poured such flood of truth and
logic that it is difficult for error any longer
to find Judgment there with the mask with
drawn.
