AT theater where the seats are NOT
numbered and to which had gone
early to get good seat, - said q man,
Il found just the seat wanted in the
fourth row from tho front. In the seat
in front Of me in the front row. sat a
man; the seat Immediately back Of him
was vacant, and the seat back Of that
and directly in front of me was occu-
pied by small boy, sitting between his
father and mother. So that besides a
good location I had an unobstructed
view, which was one Of the things /
had in mind in choosing the seat. OF
course l had to take the chances ON that
vacant seat, but the chances were of
least even that it would be occupied by
q man, end if it was taken BY a woman
there was a chance that she would not
wear big hat.
when the theater filled up, that
seat was taken eby woman, and she
had4n hat which would have covered
the grass plot in front of house in the
suburbs. and there grew upon it flowers
and things as tall as the hollyhocks in
the front yard Of house in the country.
But she had no sooner taken the
seat than she raised her hands and lift
ed the big hat off. My view was quite
unobstructed, after all, and l felt that /
had reason to be grateful New York

is only because they were not satisfied
at all, that they became free and In
dependent; that we have the govern
ment which we have today. And 50,
when a question Is raised, we ought
not to denounce the man who raises II
as an agitator. We should simply In
quire, "Is the proposition which he
presents "A right one?" Let me beg OF
you to give careful and just consldera-
tlo1 10 the issne Of this campaign.
Take our condition rs il is; take the
re nedies proposed, aud then see II the
NEEDLES are real remedies. and If
they will Improve the condition OF the
b1dy polite. Every reform that is
good, every reform that will better
the condition of the masses, IL "A re-
reform that should receive the sup
port OF every voter of this country.
Let me say just olc word | b..
lieve IL was said of Lincoln. or Lin
coin is quoted as saying, when II man
asked him whether he thought the
Lord was on his side, he said "lle was
mere anxious tu BE- on the Lords side.
(Applause. That was one way Of ex-
pressing Il great truth, and that is
that right will prevail. All, my
friends, there is one truth taught hy
500 years of human history; 1t Is
that truth Is Omnipotent, and truth
alone will prevail. You may impede
It's progress: you may delay its course,
but after II while ruth will show its
irresistible power, and those who
stand in ITS way will be crushed be-
meath IL. You ask me If these reforms
which we advocate will be accom-
plshed say IL they are right they
will be accomplished. If they are
wrong we ought not to desire their
accomplishment. We who believe
that they are right can only go forth
doing what we can, giving such i'm
petus to them as we are able TO give,
and then trust 20 the righteousness of
our cause TO prevail over those who
oppose us. thank you for your kind
attention" Enthusiastic applause
and cheers.)
