Commercial Appeal.

CoHlllefClal appeal
Aside from the fact that
Arkansas has furnished the
chairman of the national
Democratic executive COM
mittee, who has practical
control of the canvass, as he
had Of the Chicago conven-
tion, our neighbor1ng State
has furnished the party a
larger percentage of orators,
population considered, than
any other State in the Union.
Conspicuous among the NUM-
Der OF those who have taken
the stump outside Of the
State may be mentioned ],
K. Sovereign, general master
workman of the Knights of
Labor; Hon. Charles Coffin,
of Newport, who has been
shelling the woods up in
Iowa; Senator Berry, who
has been hel ping the cause
along in Missouri; Judge
Bryant, of Fort Smith, Wal
ter McHeury, Hugh Dins-
more, of Fayetteville. Gov.
Dan w. Jones, who CAM
paigned in Kentucky; Minor
Wallace, of Texarkana, who
has spoke in several States;
H, L. Remmell and Judge
Lippman, of Newport, who
have been in several States,
and Mr.. E. L, Givens, of
Batesville, who while not IN
the field as a speaker, is
doing efficient work as secre-
tary of the campaign in Chi
cago, Two of these gentle
men are Republicans, Mr., H.
l.. Kennel, who ran for
governor against Jones, and
Judge Lippman, OF Newport.
Judge Lippman, though a
Republican, is a Bryan and
free silver man, and his task
is to camp on Mr.. Kennels
trail, With this array OF
talent, Arkansas compares
favorably with any other
State in the nation, and few
States can give better ac-
count of themselves in this
campaign. Arkansas oratory
is in high demand and is at a
premium all over the coun-
try, When the campaign is
over Arkansas will be as well
advertised as any State from
Maine to Texas.
