Hogg Talks of His Speech .

New York, July Sex. Governor
James S. Hogg of Texas, who STAN
peded the Tammany Fourth of July
mass meeting for Bryan, said
last night: II did not know that
there was Van Wyck boom on. /
did not expect to attend the meeting
at all, much less to speak.
You know what those five minute
extemporaneeus speeches are. A
fellow never gets chance to say all
he wants to say and what he says is
more than he ought to say What I
say is, what's the use of meeting
anyway, unless fellow can say what
he feels like saying? 1 feel very
kindly toward Tammany. It's leaders
have always shown me the utmost
courtesy and cordiality. Therefore,
I don't want anybody to think that
I was anxious to get an opportunity
to spoil a Tammany meeting.
Nobody told nae anything about
Van Wyck and how could I be ex.
pected to know. What tickled me
was the way the boys hollered when
I said Bryan. tell you there is no
use talking, Bryan and Stone are the
men for 1900"

What Lincoln Said.

mo man is good enough to govern
another man without that other e
consent. When the white man gov.
ems himself, that is self-government
but when he governs himself and
also governs another man, that is
more than self-government-that is
despotism. Our reliance is in the
love of liberty which God has plant
ed in US; our defense is in the spirit
which prizes liberty as the heritage
of all men, in all lands, everywhere.
These who deny freedom to others
deserve it not for themselves, and
under just God cannot long retain
it
Who was Lincoln, ANYHOW?
