ORATOR
GIVEN HOT TIME
Audience Badgers A. C. Rankin, Sent
Here To Stump for Denby-Meet-
ing in Constant UprOar.

An audience of less than 200 per
sons greeted A. C.. Rankin, the Iron
molder orator." as he styles himself,
In the Light Guard armory, Thursday
night. Mr.. Rankin was sent here TO
assist Congressman DENLY. but the
questions fired at the speaker and at
Mr.. DENLY by the workingmen In the
audience and the unsatisfactory re-
plies given. tended to injure, rather
than help the candidate. AT one time
the interruptions were so persistent
that Mr.. Rankin threatened to call
the police, but the questions kept
coming.
Rankin consumed nearly an hour
in talking about himself and explain
ing his former union labor connec-
tons. He said he had worked at the
trade of iron molder for IL years, be-
ginning in 1872, and continued a
member OF the union until 1888, when
he was given an honorary card, he
said. He does not claim to speak for
any union now, however.
The fun started when a young man
asked Rankin II he would take the
stump for an open-shop man.
II would not" was the emphatic
reply.
You don't know, suppose, that
Mr.. DENLY declared for the open
shop?" continued the young man.
The speaker was "up In the air"
for a moment Then he shouted:
"Pd rather stump for Mr.. DENLY,
an open-shop man, than for any free
L.. - y~tA
do you know that Mr.. DENLY uses
the union label only when he is run
ming for office?" the same man asked.
II don't know anything about that,
but | know that Bryan doesn't use
the union label on his own paper,
vas Rankin's rejolnder.
why has DENLY voted against
every bill in the interest Of organized
labor since he has been in Officer"
What bills? Specify"
"He voted against the anti-injunc-
ton bill"
Here Mr.. DENLY broke in with:
Your own leader, Samuel Comp
ers. opposed that"
This brought a shower OF questions
from several directions and IL was
then Rankin threatened to call the
police
When Rankin was discussing the
hard times of the Cleveland admins
tration, an old man in the rear of the
hall spoke up, saying:
Were times any worse then than
in 1892"
That's an old chestnut" was the
retort from the platform Have any
more smart Alecs got any questions ?"
Asked to define the difference be-
tween a progressive and a stand
patter, Rankin referred his questioner
to the standpatters and progressives
themselves.
Mr.. DENLY also was on the rack
several times during the meeting.
His record In congress was repeated.
ly thrown up to him and his explana
tons were far from satisfactory to
the audience.
