AN OVATION TO JACKSON v. BLAZE

AN ONALIoN To JACKSON V. BLAIR.
Despite the miserable. inclement
weather, by long odds the largest aud
fence of the campaign assembled at the
Opera House last night to hear Hon.
jackson V. Blair, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in this district, dis
cuss the issues of the campaign Had
the weather been propitious the Opera
House would not have held 1.-THE of
the people; as it was the house was
crowded and standing room only was
to be had The SUM total of all the
audiences that have assembled in this
city to hear Republican speakers dur
Ing this campaign would not have
equaled half the number that assembled
to hear Mr. Blair last night.
We mention this fact as an indica-
tion-a straw-showing the popular
drift in this campaign. The people re-
fuse to listen to the spokesman of the
Republican party or. rather, they ap-
pear to have heard enough in previous
campaigns from the same gentlemen,
who after election have steadily, ruth
lessly broken their campaign promises
The people refuse to be deceived fur
Their or to listen to a dreary repetition
of the same promises for the future
that have been steadily broken in the
past.
On the other hand they flock to hear
the Democratic speakers and caudi-
dates because in the election Of a DEM
ocratic Congress and a Democratic
Legislature alone is there a promise of
better things.
This will explain the indifference of
the people to Republican speakers and
the lively and enthusiastic ovations
they give to the representatives and
standard bearers CT the party of the
Constitution and the people.
1t did not take even a casual OBJ
server long to see the very favorable
impression made by Mr. Blair upon his
very large and intelligent audience.
which was composed Of men of all par
ties, men who were evidently open to
conviction and were seeking the truth.
Mr.. Blair is not a brilliant orator.
does not pretend to be, but he is a
pleasant earnest, sincere, dignified
and forcible speaker He talks COM
mon sense and talks it frankly and
without oratorical effort However, his
speech last night was greeted with
spontaneous applause throughout, ap-
plause which was sincere and IN
sought tribute to the sound common
sense and logic of the speaker, and the
manliness and honesty with which he
met the issues and was an earnest that
his language and ideas went home to
