The Orator at Baltimore Who Simply
Couldn't Stop.

In the department called "The Inter
prefers House" in the September Amer
ican Magazine, appear a number OF in
teresting stories of the Chicago and
Baltimore conventions Following is a
story about one of the speakers at the
Baltimore convention;
another defender of the principles
OF democracy was young person from
California, who by virtue of his many
excellencies. is an officer of an organiza-
tion known as the Order of Eagles He
was the happy possessor of voice that
could be heard for half-a-mile at sea
Because of the extraordinary noise is-
suing from him, this champion caught
the attention of the crowd and held il
while he was saying everything of any
interest he had to say, which was not
long. Unfortunately for him, having
concluded his speech, he fell a victim
to a common and fatal disease of CON
vention orators. He couldn't stop. He
couldn't back off the stage. His oratori-
cal legs got crossed and refused to carry
him out Of danger. No crowd is a.
quick or as merciless as convention
audience in detecting the approach of
such predicament and hastening it, A
great wave of gayety swept over the
house. The orator seemed perfectly
amazed at the sudden change in the
temper of the convention. A second
before they were applauding him. Now
they were laughing at him. The sweat
began to roll down his cheeks and melt
his collar to a pulp. He raised his hands
in prayer TO the crowd. He implored
them to be silent while he assured them
Of the glories of California and his own
loyalty to the democracy. They onlg
laughed the more. Eventually, finding
that his voice was lost In the tumuli,
he inflated his cheeks and tried to shout
out his speech, word by word, like the
cork in pop gun. This device almost
broke up the convention in a delirium
of happiness In the end he retreated
The picture of this miserable
man will not soon pass from memory, as
rising, falling, hoping, despairing,' he
was swept from the stage. He took
the platform a number of times after
ward for these bad speakers are daunt-
less. but every time he appeared he
was welcomed with such shrieks of gay
ety that not even the chairman ever
knew what were the vast thoughts he |
sought to deliver"
