STORIES TOLD ON BRYAN
nib TickIers which Adorned and IL
Illustrated the Argument of Re
publican SpeIlbinder,

In a campaign speech which he delivered
in Augusta, Me, last week, Rev. DR.. John
Wesley Hin of New York city, told these
stories to illustrate his arguments against
Bryan;
Il am reminded Of the colored hoy who
ran among some soldiers during the civil
war, shouting: Hot pies, hot pies. A
soldier boy bought one, discovered that 1t
was frozen, then, turning TO the vendc Of
pies, he said: See here, you black rascal,
you said this was a hot pie 'Lor' bless
you replied the colorcd boy, dat is only
de name Of it,
His capacity for continuous speech re-
minds me of the pCo- man who suffered
much In that respect. His wife was IN the
habit OF talking him to sleep every night,
and most Of her talk was made zip of
criticism, faultfinding and gTumbllng, and
II was on one occasion when, after eudur-
ing her merciless volley Tor three hours,
ne fell asleep, and when upon Awakening,
three hours later, nc again heard chat
precious voice, turning over, ne asked,
Mary, are you talking yet or aFsin?'
He Is like the old farmer who in cx-
planning his mangled hand to his physi-
clan, said: You see, I backed up them ere
cattle a l%eetle, wrapped the chain around
the log, slipped the link through and
looked around for a t1ggle. hut couldn'

"They arc like the little lad who dropped
iJ to the open door of a museum In New
York one hot summer day, and, seeing no
one about, congratulated himself upon the
opportunity of seeing the museum without
charge. The freaks were not in; they had
all gone out, including the skinny man, to
replenish their empty stomachs at the
luncheon ]courter, and so the inquisitive
youth began looking around and finally
espied a door slightly ajar,

With a scream and a bouEd the boy
stsrted for the front door, but just as he
was passing through it the living skeleton
came in at the back door and gave hot
pursuit, reaching the foot of the stairs as
the boy reached the curbsone across the
street. And then the living skeleton eX-
claimed: Hold on there, boy! Boy, hold

lorized youth, with eyes standing out in

claimed: No, you don't! No. sir! l know

II remember hearing of a funeral serv-
ice which occurred out in Nebraska during
that period. The casket was there, and
the mourners were there, and the neigh
bors and friends were there, and away
back in the rear Of the church sat a long,
lean, lank, bewhiskered, cadaverous, wild
eyed individual, who had just dropped IN
from the street and who seemed decidedly
cut Of place. Finally the minister arose

seemed that no one had anything to say,

Burton of Ohio, Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
Brownlow of Tennessee and Jenkins of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Borah, Idaho's new sena-
tor, is in especial demand among repub-
lican constituencies and will receive impor-
tant assignments. As announced thus far,
the star campaign orators among the dem
oerats will be Governor Johnson Of Mime

lands of Nevada, and Representatives
Rainey of Illinois, Clark of Missouri, Will
liams of Mississippi, Cochran of New York
and Gaine of Tennessee. Judson Har-
mon, the democratic candidate for governor
of Ohio, 1t is said, will make several
speeches outside Of his state; Chairman
Mack, according to the gossip at the dem
ocratic headquarters, intends to place as
many sp%ellbinders on the road as Chairman
Hitchcock will have in commission. Every
town of any consequence In the northern
and western states Is likely to have an OPP
portunity before November 3 Of hearing the

had some hand in helping shape them.

"front-porch" campaign. Talking at their
homes to delegations of visitors, these
presidential candidates spoke to many
thousands of persons, and, in general, they
did this effectively. They may be said to
have invented this style of campaigning for
presidential candidates, Lincoln did a little
talking to his neighbors in Springfield and
to the few and small delegations of repub-
llcan visitors from different parts Of the
country, but these talks had no effect on

they did not obtain much publicity. Har-
rison, in 1883, was the first OF the candi-
dates to employ on any large scale this
"front-porch" method OF reaching the coun-
try by his talks. Mckinley, in 1896, follow,
Ing the Harrison example, talked to larger
delegations than went 20 see Harrison. and
talked to more of them. While Taft will
follow the Harrison and Mckinley plan of

area which he will cover will be small com

First spelIbinder in 1870.
II was in the "TTppecanoe and Tyler,

binder made his first appearance on a,
large scale. President Van Buren, was
seeking reelection, and the wings, with
William Henry Harrison at the head Of
their ticket. with John Tyler of Virginia,
an eX-democrat, as a partner for Harrison,
were endeavoring to defeat him, and thus,
IN the language Of the day, to destroy

heir, Van Buren,, had served cretitably, but

political canvass made its appearance in
the whig demonstrations Of 1s40. Most of
the campaign songs lacked poetry, and also
lacked sense, but they afforded a con-
venient vehic!e for the expression of the
youthful exunerance of the occasion. One
of the most popular of the ~refrairs was:
Fol Tippecanoe and Tyler, too-Tlppecanoe
and Tyler, too;
And with them we'll beat little Van, Van,
Van is a usGd-up man;
And with them Well beat little Van.
Until near the end of the whig party's
. career it had a larger number Of great
orators than were lp the democracy, al
though the latter party, in most Of the
campaigns. had more votes. Disaster came
to the wings early in Harrison-Tyler term
through Harrison's death. Tyler's acces-
sion to the higher office and the quarrel
which started between Tyler and Clay in
the extra session of congress soon after
Tyler entered office, This squabble ulti-
! mately drove Tyler back to the democrats.
and he carried with Tim a few of tn
wings In his own and other states. The
consequences of this breach revealed therl-
selves in the state elections in the fall of
1871 and in the congressional canvass 10
1898, in which the wings lost control of
the house of representatives. Nevertheless,
in the campaign of 1874, In which Clay re-
ceived a unanimous nomination, there was
a good deal of confidence among them, and
they had many men of ability aud influ-
ence on the stump for the ticket. Most Of
those who spoke for Harrison in 1870 were
prominent participants in the Clay can
vass four years later. And among them
was the candidates young relative, Cassius
NJ. Clay. who spoke in nearly every north
ern state from. New York to Wisconsin
during the canvass. Afterward Cassius M,
Clay became a republican, and took an
active part on the stump lE nearly all the
party's campaigns until and including that
Of Harrison in 1883.
Notable OrntOry In 1880.
Not until 1856 did a presidential campaign
come, after 1910 and 1874, In which the
display OF oratory was especially notable.
In 1856 a great number OF young men of
~eloquence and earnestness took the stump
for Fremont, the candidate of the repub-
lean party. Party, candidate and leading
supporters were all young. Fremont was
only 4S years of age; he had a romantic
career, and the party which he headed had
been only two years In existence in that
year, while its national organization had
only just been framed. A large mator.ty
or It's voters were young ana ardent men,
who there struck a blow at the ballot box
for freedom which many Of them su- pie
mented five years later on another fdi
and with arms in their hands. Among the
men who spoke for the Fremont tic e
were Theodore Parker, Henry Ward
Beecher, George william Curtis, Jane
Russell Lowell, Chauncey NJ. Depew,
Joshua r, Giddings, Andrew IL. Reeder.

The speaking portion of the presidential

10 see a larger number than usual Of
orators Of national note. Senator Beveridge
of indian and Governor Hughes of New
York, each of whom Is a potent parsonage
In his party, were among the speakers at
that place. The canvass in Vermont ard

OF the Department of Commerce and
Labor; Speaker Cannon, the republicans
largest figure In his branch OF congress;
Secretary Wilson of the Department Of
Agriculture and several others. while the
democrats were well represented among the
takers, For many years each side has
sent orators of national fame into Yer

OF presidential years, and there was no
falling off In the number in 1898.

TRENOR OPENS
LABOR BUREAU
Has an Office in Whitehall
Building in New
York.

Secretary Mott-Smith has received a
letter from John D. Trenor who left
here some time ago to open a labor
recruiting station in New York on be-
half of the Territorial Board of Immi-
grafton.
Much of the letter is taken up with
the mere details of his doings. The
important thing is that he has opened
the recruiting office in the Whitehall
building, II Battery Place, and is get
ting settled and ready for business.
He says that conditions in Califor-
MIA among the wine producers are so
unfavorable that they are unable to
sell their product. In consequence
they are unwilling to buy grapes from
growers, and hence many laborers are
thrown out of employment. AS a re-
suit he thinks that perhaps an immi-
grafton of laborers to the islands from
this region might be secured unless
conditions improve shortly.
Mr.. Trenor speaks of expecting
visits from P. C. Jones and Richard
Ivers. He has heard from Secretary
Garfield and the latter says he will be
pleased to see him at any time he
may go to Washington.
