DEMOCRATIC cRAToRN.

A Democratic editor recently regaled
his readers with learned disquisitions
on the subject OF oatory. Yesterday
at the Dover convention Democratic
oratory was at its best. The moon
was right and the tide was at the
nood--a spring-tide that covered the
marshes.
John i. salisbury is alone worth GO
ing miles TO see. hut 70 see and heor
him before a Democratic convention IS
education and diversion. He puts his
soul into It, and every muscle OF hla
body. with protruding chin and eyes,
with grinding teeth and words that hiss
and seethe, with cut-like springs and
arms waving like windmills-with
hands that reach TO the skies to grasp
thunderbolts to hurl at his opponents
John f.. Salisbury is picture that
win not soon fade from the memory
OF the delegates.
And Handy-ah, Handy What
thoughts gather around the very name
Of Domosthenesi Webster is a name
that has become synonymous with
oratoryl Think Of $50 pounds Of
quiverng. throbbing flesh. Think OF a
voice that means and pleads like the
wind that complains and frets through
the rooms OF a deserted house; then
think Of the murmer Of the brook that
ripples and claps its hands, that rises
IN volumne scars out, swells into ora
tund and like the roar Of Niagara over
powers and awes. and YOU have Handy,
But that is only the vocal and mus
cular side. Now think OF his Languages
his figures. He talks Of home, and
there is a choking in his throat, Of old
sussex-"dear old Sussex" while his
eyelids droop and his neither lip trem-
bles Now the theme turns to war
and the speakers attitude assumes a
martial aspect reminding one Of Shaf-
ter at Santiago. I'VE must fight oui
abttles and bury our dead; we mus
not take our corpses along with us
This is the climax, and we get a mGv'
ing picture Impression Of arms, legs
hair stomach and coat tails filling tn
space before us, while the thunde
above roars in applause. oh, this in
deed is oratoryl
