powerful, so irrefutable an argu.

livered. 1t IS unequalled and
will serve as milestone around
thesneck of the liquor traffic and
mighty for the defense of the
CHRISTIAN army-for over an hour
this matchless orator held that
vast audience enraptured under
the power of his oratory and
profundity of his argument. His
logic was fawless and his every
expression was that of man
whose motives are pure and VIII }
is sincere. His speech is strong
as iron and will serve as seed
soWr in good soil in due season.

and Foraker Mccormick plehoric in wealth and Jealous
in politics of the brand that makes its motto get
thing, became possessed of nordnate desire to sit
in the United States senate
But things did not look hopeful in Wisconsin. La Fol
lee had scattered seeds of revolt against the dctaon OF
vested interests and privileged wealth, and Mccormick
saw the hopeessness of the timber trust and the timber
grabbers ever being represented from Wisconsin.
But out in the Far West senate seats selling the
market if not cheap at least they selling to the high

purpose of going the senate To boost him into the
limelight he nominated at so much per vote as
candidate for mayor of Tacoma in which city he had
settled to make his home.
But in Wisconsin, in Tacoma; the people were turn
ing from the theory that none but corporation friends may
be entrusted with power His known subservency to the
Northern Pacific railway his undong, and he went
down to defeat.
