SENATOR GoRDoN's SPEECH.

Former Senator Gordon, OF Mississippi
WAS the guest OF the Commercial Club,
Ia Washington, at dinner last night
Senator Gordon, being introduced,
after references was made to his defence
of corporations 10 the Senste, told tina
members of the club that his speech was
merely an accident brought out from q
feeling heart when subj sets akin to 1t
were under discussion. II 1t cut across
the popular idea Of corporations, he said
be could not help 1t.
Senator Gordon said be was by descent
Scotchmsu and Presbyterian. rs
loved truth and was bound 20 tell Ii all
ways and everywhere. The greater part
OF Senator Gordon's speech vas re-
hearssl of how he had passed from In
herited millions to poverty, back again
to comfortable sffluence, into politics,
and to the United States Senate. II wss
q most interesting story, enlivened BY
keen humor and many homsly touches
of psthos that held his audience SPELL
bound.
The address was vivid picture OF life
in Mississippi among the common people
with their peculiar struggles aud prob
lens. 1t was q recital that will be long
remembered. The picture OF a man In
advanced life losing sll, driven TO .he
stern necessity to work, aud meeting The
issue with courage, optimism, aud iu:-
cess was real chapter from Amsr.csn
life, OF which any man may be proud.
Senator Gordon proved that while he
may be Presbyterian iu good standing,
be is at heart Metbodias With all that
rslIgionists delight 10 telling his exper-
ence In meeting.
Speaking of the needs of his native
State, Senator Gordon said the great need
was capital to start tuaessiul induit'y
suited TO the State, and the people who
live there. Mississippi, be said, Is an
agricultural State, growing niggers and
cotton. He declared that the Sttte reets
no help from the outside in msnsgiDg
the negro. and that the means to make
up the cotton Into the manufactured pro
duct IL al the s ate does need 10 make
Il rich and great and give It q place In
the national sisterhood Equal to the bes'.
Senator Gordon scored the politicians sod
praised tbs plain people, who labor and
bring out of the soil the wealth which 1t
produces. He thinks II quite time that
he farmer and producer should have sn
naing In national, Safe, and municipal
councils with the ousting OF the sgiist,r,
and msuipulssor Of politics.
