Deileving that he would strengthen the
ticket in the east Some preferred Mr.
iowne. knowing Of the sacrifice which
ne had made for principle and of mis-
devotion TO the principles set forth in
the Chicago platform. But the choice
fell upon distinguished Illinois Demo-
crat, who once discharged with great
credit the duties of the Office.
I'm the campaign Of 1896, when plu-
tocracy and Democracy met face TO
face. Atslai =. Stevenson was an able
and courageous defender of Democracy.
During the campaign he spoke in seven
Of the close states.
When l visited Bloomington nea.
the close of the cSsmpaign he was cnaIr-
man of the meeting In beginning ny
speech l referred TO him as follows:
we who have been keepers OF the
Democratic faith love Adlai L. Steven
son. not for what ne is. but we love
him also because he is all we have left
OF the last Democratic ticket. The
Bible tells you of the father who loved
the prodigal son when he returned l
tell you OF the Democratic father who
loved the son who went not astray.'
Il know that some of our allies felt
grieved that they were not given the
second place upon the ticket, but am
sure that they cannot feel unkindly to-
ward one who, like Mr.. Stevenson, was
loyal to the ticket named at Chicago
and who is able TO defend the magnifi-
cent party creed set forth at Kansas
City. In this campaign issues are
greater than men. | shall not ask any
one to vote our ticket merely because
it IS the ticket Of the party. II deserves
support because il STANDS for the De-
claration of independence in dealing
with the Philippines and for the doc
trine OF equal rights for all and espe-
cial privileges to none in all domestic
questions"
General James B. Weaver spoke at
some length, outlining the work to be
lican and Populist parties, and appeal
ing for harmony for the common cause.
He also paid tribute 70 Mr.. Stevenson's
record in congress.

Has Been a Picnic.

Have we enjoyed ourselves? Well
I guess yes" said a youth with a SER
aphic cast of countenance, in answer TO
a query. 1T has been a picnic from
start TO finish We left San Francisco
on June II and expect to get back to
Frisco by the 18th and have been go
ing all the time. We have visited every
city Of note in the east and have had
the privilege of shaking hands with
President Mckinley in the white house.
We have all been well and have had
splendid time.
Dent II. Robert, assistant managing
editor of the Examiner, said in regard
to the trip: The boys have had a good
time of It and ii is wonderful TO see
how those who come from little country
towns soon caught on 10 things, until
a stranger now cannot pick them out
from the San Francisco boys. Since We
left the coast we have visited both hte
national conventions in addition 10
New York. Washington. Niagara Falls.
Denver and other cities. The boys have
never been idle and when travelling
have amused themselves by organizing
debating societies, national conven-
tons and generally taking on what
they have noticed during the course of
our travels. At night, too, after retir-
ing, the popular pastime seems 10 have
been pillow fights among the lads"

Speaking of the trip itself Mr.. Rob
ert stated that when the idea of the
tour first presented itself TO W. R.

he jumped at the idea with the result
that when competitive examination
was held in American history and civil
government throughout the state of
California over $4,000 boys entered the
lists from public. private and parochia1

HOW HE KEPT HIS CROWD.

In the campaign of 1896 it came to the attention of leading democrats that an unknown orator in a certain western state was making a mighty stir among the people, winning from the repubh- cans the expressive title of The Singed Cat" Several letters from democrats in adjoining counties were soon re- ceived, asking that this orator be sent to them. and testifying to the convinc- ing power of his arguments. But, ac- cording to the story as it is frequently related in democratic headquarters, the supreme test of this spellbinder's power over an audience came when ne was addressing mass meeting in a densely packed skating rink. Mischievous young men got out the village fire en- zine. hauled 1t in front of the rink, and pounded its gong with violence that, for a moment, completely drowned the voice of the orator inside the building His audience started to stampede. but he checked the movement by a com manding gesture. Then. placing his left hand upon the top of his head, he shouted:
 Right here Is where the fire is. And it will not be put out until it has helped to light bonfires that celebrate Mir. Bryan's election Saturday Evening Post.
