A Voter Hears Speeches.

by Judge O'Rear to crowded court
house in Greenville. His speech
was that of a statesman and iurist.
HIS proposals and propositions were
based upon principles and policies
calculated to elevate the people of his
state upon a more perfect form
of good government. Every one
who heard him must honestly admit
that his speech was untainted and
untarnished. 1t was plain, direct
and logical, free from any defam
atory accusations of persons and
parties.
Judge O'Rear was followed on
Friday by A. Q. Stanley, who de-
livered speech to a small crowd.
HIS speech was clownish, ludicrous
and ridiculous, and we might say,
impolitic and ineffective. His dis
course was simply the splitting and
sputtering OF sarcastic criticism and
abuse, mixed with other ingredients,
tending only to tickle the fancy
and amusement of his audience
with his stimulated wit and humor.
He INDUCED in egotIsm and self
praise, which is considered a scan.
dial, # the people had believed him
they would have thought that he
would never taste death, that the
Lord would take him and that he
would form a trio of human beings
translated to Heaven by the holy
angels. All speeches of such char
acter ought TO be denounced by all
good people everywhere and all men
of such calibrc should be stood 10
the rear. We have Witnessed many
a race made for Governor in Ken
lucky, but meyer before have we
seen such an array of political dem
agogues and shysters of Kentucky
and of other states like frigtened
butfaloes dashlng and believing over
Kentucky and fuuously attacking
one cf the purest and best men of
our state with vile and slanderous
accusations; with unfounded charges,
they come like ravenous and hungry
wolves after an innocent lamb, max
ing speeches fraught with vilupera-
ton, censure and sophistry, trying
to make false impressions 10 deceive
and mislead the people from the
support of good man. They come
posing as political saints and sancti-
fed Office holders, declaring that
they believe that Judge O'Rear is
insincere in his statements. Judge
| O'Rear and all those that have diff
ferent views from them have the
same right to so consider and cen
ture them, which makes an Offset.
They denounce Judge O'Rear for
his advocacy of the principles of the
Republican party. They not only
hurl their vile daggers at Judge
O'Rear but at President Taft and
tell the people that they have lost a
sum of money variously estimated,
ranging from one hundred and fifty
million to three hundred and fifty
million dollars by the President We
toing few tariff bills that were pass
ed by called Congress last spring,
the session extending through the
entire summer at great cost to the
people. Now as to the result of the
vetolng of the tariff bills, they know
as much about 1t as hog does holi-
day; they speculate only on one side
of the tariff problem. A tariff en-.
actment and law always has two
sides and effect. The President
could say with as much proPriety
and consistency that by vetoing the
tariff bills ne saved the country of a
loss that would have occurred in the
depression of the business industries
Of the nation that would haye far ex-
ceeded the gain that would have been
realized by not vetoing the bills and
perhaps save the country from de-
structive panic that would have stag
mated business and so crippled and
disorganized the Democratic party
that It would have required quar-
ter of century to have recuperated
its lost strength and TO breathe easy
We arc of the opinion that it would
have been more rational and manly

instead of bowling AROUND over thC
country trying to deceive and mas

vetoed the unwise tariff bills, to have

gratulations for his great gratitude
