The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-20

declining years l have to encounter such a
calamity, all the result of evil associations
and because Of keeping that Chicago Tribune
in your house. Your grief-stricken
Father.
The senior Arson has helped to con-
firm a fact which will no doubt add
greatly to the popularity Of the Pal
mer and Buckner ticket, and do no in
jury to Maj. McKinley's chances. Every
base ball fan in the country, and there
are several of them, will place more
confidence In the word Of the G.. 0. M.
Of base ball than in a half hundred or
binary everyday campaign orators.
1t would be hard to estimate the ex-
act number of votes that will find their
way into the sound money side of the
balance in November as a result Of the
announcement that Capt Adrian Con-
stantine Arson is about to make his
debut in politics. This statement is ap-
parently authentic, authorized, and
above and beyond dispute.
The veteran base balliSt and ersr-
while actor has declared himself. BY
supreme struggle against more sell
fish aims and motives he has con-
quered self, and is now willing to throw
himself into the breach in case prop
er and BETTING breach can be found.
In an interview yesterday he declared
he is willing to go on the stump in the
interest of either sound money ticket
and he stands ready to consider any
fair proposition from the managers OF
the Palmer and Buckner or Mckinley
and Hobart campaign.
The sound money Democratic ticket
is his first choice, from a sentimental
standpoint, because he has been life
long Democrat but in g. practical sense
he Is Mckinley man, and his slogan
will be anything to beat Bryan"
Any practical politician will at once
recognize Capt. Anson's ability and
worth. That he is a logical and con-
Vfnc1ng talker, an orator of no mean
ability, is fact to which hundreds OF
umpires will testify.
Millions Of people throughout this
broad land have been stirred to great
emotion by his oratory. Hundreds of
ball games have been enhanced in their
attractions by his short, pertinent
speeches, and hundreds Of thousands
OF people have left the National lea
que parks declaring Anson's speech
making to be the distinctive feature
Of the game
And yet he is modest in his estimate
Of his own ability He says that he
would much prefer that some exper-
fenced speech-writer would furnish his
ammunition and allow him to shoot
II on IN ms own way. He suggests
that he be furnished with a press agent,
a speech writer, and some expense
money. He dosen't want a manager.
His experience in the show business
taught him that
He will be ready to start on a tour
OF the country Immediately after the
close of the league season. The Temple
cup series will not be permitted to
interfere.
1t has been suggested that he first
make tour around the National lea
que circuit before the weather grows
too severe for out campaign work
Ii this plan is adopted the several lea
que parks could be utilized.
Fifteen or twenty thousand people
could be packed into the GRAND stand
and hleachers- admission free-and
then Your Uncle" could mount the
pitchers box, or platform erected at
the home plate, and talk
He might embrace the opportunity to
express himself more fully on the UNI
pire problem, in addition to exploding
free silver fallacies.
