ton. The preachers fame as a pull
pit orator is not confined to New
England alone. He spoke for two
hours and reused his hearers to a
high pitch of enthusiasm when he
said that Nebraska never had a
better lover son than Bryan"
The Rev. Mr.. Casson said that as
his sermon was a political one, ne
would omit the reading Of the scrip
ture lesson, and by way of preface
read portions of several editorai ar
ticles bearing on his subject from
the New York Journal, which paper,
he said, was "the most progressive
organ of public opinion published in
the eastern states today
HOW A PREACHER VIEWS IT.
Mr.. Casson said in part:
The laws of prosperity 7 to be
discovered, not constructed. The
real legislator for whom this nation
waits is he who shall find and dare
to proclaim the perfect social order
foreordained by justice from the be-
ginning Of the world. The real an
archist is he who seeks to violate
the laws Of nature for the exclusive
benefit of a small fraction of the
community.
During the present campaign the
epithet S'anarchist' has been hurled
at the heads Of some of the noblest
and most capable men that this gen
GRAFTON has produced. The fierce
se~archlight Of publicity has blazed
upon these men for years, and not
a single corrupt official act has eve
been discovered.
Bryan is caricatured, just as
Lincoln was, as a highway man, as
a pirate, even as the devil, and in
many similar ways. Whether
Bryans's political views r entire.
ly correct or not, who a deny
that he is a citizen of whom any ma
ton in the world might boast?
Whether we consider the sus
tanned ability Of his addresses, his
~genlemanly endurance of SANDER
and misrepresentation, his ~unsullied
public career, or the magnetism Of
his Unaffected cordiallity to the
sweatstained masses that greet
him at every depot, we cannot avoid
admiring him as a sturdy specimen
Of our American manhood.
Compare him with the gagged in
dividual who trembles in his mort
gagged house lest Hanna may fore
close. Compare him with that I'M
fortunate Napoleon who has already
met his Wellington and surrendered
his convictions, and it is plain to
see which best represents the prin-
ciples of the declaration of Indepen-
dence.
"sPoKESMEN OF H PRODUCERS.
Bryan is the spokesman of the
halt-awakened producers, who form
n~ine-tenths OF the population. He
and his associates have revived the
apostolic power of "casting out
devils in the democratic party and
of raising the dead to life among the
republican rank and file.
They have given us at last a real
issue instead of a sham one, and
though their remedy may e in
adequate to progressive thinkers, it
is in the right direction and in &C.
cordance with the peoples will.
During the last few years we have
been rapidly developing a slave ele-
ment in VI populations property
less class, entirely dependent upon
the sale Of their labor. No longer
does Jack hobnob with his master.
The rich and poor do not live in the
same quarter of the city. A second
secession has split our society into
two hostile elements, and it is child
ish to howl "anarchist' at the pa
triotic who %proclaims the unwel-
come fact and seeks to weld the ma
ton into unity again by repeating
the laws that caused it to split
asunder.
America is the workingman, s
"Paradise Lost" and it a never
be regained by passive obedience to
the serpent.
Our carpenters build magnificent
ments themselves. Our mechanics
