Pay a DishOnOr In 1872, Now u Reg
uIar Campaign Expense.
L. A. Coolidge in Ainslee's.
Campaign orators in the service of
the national committees are well paid for
their work. This is not generally under
stood, and 1t was not the case until com
paratiVely recent years. In the earlier
days they usually rendered volunteer
service. So universal was the custom that
discredit attached in the public mind to
a political speaker who received COM
pensation. In the campaign of 1872 Carl
SchurZ, then a senator from Missouri,
was charged with having been paid 500
a speech for his advocacy of the election
Of Horace Greeley. The charge made
something of scandal at the time, and
although SchurZ denied the payment OF
this specific sum, he was never able
wholly to clear himself Of the faint which
was supposed to attach to receiving any
pay whatever He had bitter contro-
versy with Roscoe Conkling in the SEN
ate about it, during which Conkling, in
his supercilious way, expressed his con-
tempt of the practice of which he thought
SchurZ had been guilty.
Nowadays campaign speaking is become
a matter of regular employment, although
of course payment is by no means univer-
sal, and the most conspicuous orators
the party-render volunteer service, and
will accept nothing beyond their travel
ing and hotel expenses. The men in
charge of a presidential campaign prefer
to pay on the spot for what they get
This is far better than to leave obligations
outstanding, to be satisfied In the distri
button of offices after the election.
The ordinary campaign speaker re-
ceives $50 a speech and his expenses 1t
is said that in a campaign Of 1896 one very
effective and brilliant gold Democratic or
ator was paid $500 speech by the Repub-
ican national committee. This represents
the high-water mark in payments of this
kind In some cases those who do not
receive a stipulated price expect "hon-
orariums," which really amount to the
same thing and which sometimes reach
high figures. The-day of volunteer work
for national committees seems to have
passed. The men employed at headquar-
tiers Of any party are paid rs regularly
and as generally as if they were in any
other employment
