 Hartford. Nov. 20.-The recent speech of J. Henry Roraback before gathering of women in this city was. perhaps. the longest political speech he has ever delivered. He has prac- tieed oratory. but 1t must be said that his speech did not reveal that fact He was clear and there was nothing equiv- oeai in his language. Really he would make a hit on the stump. But he is not likely to abandon the headquarters of his party for the political platform next year. He will. as in the past, leave the ofatory to others and eontin- ue to direct the campaign. In his speech he confined himself to national issues. and his position. as national committeeman from Connecticut, gave his utteranees a special authority. He has been associating with the men of his party of national importance. and it is believed that what he said was in harmony with their views. This, at least. Is what Is inferred by many Re publicans. and there is reason to think that the inference is correct. Mir.
