George W. Donaghcy makes no
pretension to oratory. His spsech
at Morrilton on October ! was the
first time he ever attempted to
make an address of any Considera-
Bile length before a large body of
people All his.life since he left the
farm has been spent IL the quiet
walks OF business, where speech
making plays no plrt. And yet
he has simple, awkward, II you
please, yet forcible manner of pre-
senting his views which seems to
carry a deeper conviction to his
hearers than the most ornate style
of oratory.
In witness of this fact two clip
pings are here reproduced, from
independent OF Carlisle and the
Post Dispatch at Dardanelle, re,
spectively, where he Gently spoke
to the people.
From the Carlisle Independent:
"Thursday was the big day and
accordingly good program of
racing and speaking was prepared.
The announcement that Hon.
George w. Donaghey would ad-
dress the people proved a great
drawing card. Early in the morn
ing the crowds began to assemble,
and by the time announced for
the speaking fully three thousand
people had gathered to hear him.
1T really might have been ap-
propriately called 'Donaghey Day
so great was the interest man
ifested in the popular candidate.
"Mr. Donaghey was introduced
to the audience by Rev. F. N.
Brewers, pastor of the Methodist
church, in a short but appropriate
speech in which he paid the
speaker a very high tribute, de-
claring that wherever Geo. Dona-
ghey was known, his name was a
synonym of honesty and integrity.
"Mr. Donaghey spoke for near
ly two hours, and his speech awak-
ened great enthusiasm. He is not
an orator in the popular sense
but he has a splendid voice and
a pleasant manner of address; and
while his delivery is lacking in
earnestness, it is such as delights
the popular audience. He was
heard gladly by the vast throng
of men, women and children as
sembled
He dwelt at some length on
the state capitol steal, showing
clearly to every unprecedented hear
er the rascality of the contractors
and the connivance of the architect
and the state capitol commission
to their fraudulenCy. He also
outlined his educational policy
and gave his views on other state
questions, all of which seemed to
meet with the entire approval OF
his hearers. Taken as whole
it was a great speech happily de-
livered and we'll reCei 1ed. y
From the Dardanelle Post Dis
patch:
Mr.. George W. Donaghey of
Conway, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor
was in town last Tuesday, Trades
Day, when multitude of country
people were in town, and was in
duced by a number OF his friends
and supporters to deliver an adj
dress in support of his candidacy
which he did just at the close OIL
the stock prize contest. 1t IS ap
parent that Mr. Donaghey has a
hold on the people that will enab,e
him to win the nomination with
ease unless his opponents can de
wise some means to check his prog
ress. Men from distant portions Of
the country aud many others who
had never heard him or seen hin,
came to him and said: Il have
heard of you, you exposed the state
capitol steal and l am for you,
