-
Col. Henry Watterson, the distin-
guished Kentuckian, who will deliver
one of his famous lectures at the Tur-
ner Theatre, Wednesday evening,
October 10Th, is without doubt one of
the foremost of living Americans.
AS an officer in the Confederate army
he was the intimate friend of all the
great men of that great struggle. He
knew Lincoln, Stanton, Grant and the
rest, and his GRAFTON on Lincoln de-
livered at Chicago in 1895 has given
US an insight into the character of the
martyr president such as has been Of
fered by no other man in the past or
present. Although Mr. Watterson has
never held a public Office, other than
that of congressman during the stormy
Reconstruction and Hayes-Tilden per-
iod, he has exerted wider influence
than most men in active political life.
His career as editor of the Louisville
/ Courier-J ournal is unique He stands
alone, the only survivor of the old
school made famous by himself, Gree
/ ley, Mead and Dana. AS platform
orator, Mr.. Watterson is without a
peer. In political debates, memorably
the Watterson- Villas debate in the
i Chicago convention, in his addresses
on Lincoln and at the opening of the
Worlds Fair, in fact in all of his pub
lie utterances, he has always given US
the rarest literary and oratorical
treats. Mr.. Watterson often speaks
in a simple, conversational manner,
wholly transformations, plain and quiet,
and as unaffected as the great man that
he is, but when he reaches his climaxes
he rises to the height of true eloquence,
he stands on tip-toe, his frame quivers,
his voice is emotional and grand, his
sentences glitter with the gloss and
velvet Of luxurious rhetoric and the
} effect is almost sublime.
| The seat sale for Mr.. Watterson's
lecture will open Wednesday morning
, October 18th, at 10 O. clock.
