rvlllo Oratory A Discussion lMeen
Srpnliliruii and Democratic Speak
ers As Interyntlnir Time.
Orvillc, April 10. Your correspondent
had Ihe pleasure of attending a discussion
on thetarilt question a few evenings sine
between two Elliott Trairie republicans and
two Whiskey Hill democrats, and if the
democratic crowd that was there that even
ing nas a fair representation of the demo
cratic party ire don't want any of it. Por
ing the time the republicans were speaking
the democrats throughout Ihe crowd would
laugh and sneer, and try in various ways
to confuse and bother tha speakers. The
chairman had repeatedly to rail for order.
For shame ! for shame, boys, on such con
duct! At this lima we should give the
most earnest attention to the great political
question which so much demands it. Al
though we may not be listening to eloquent
speakers yet by careful and close attention
we cannot help catching some thoughts that
will be a benefit to us. Remember, boys,
that these young men are making their first
attempt in proclaiming to the people their
views on the tariff or any other question.
Remember, too, that not one ot you w ho had
the audacity to participate in such conduct
has the courage to get up before an audi
ence and make a speech of any kind.
G. C. I'e.-due and family nude a trip to
Silverton Inst Saturday, returning Sunday'.
We would advise our democratie friend
who took part in the discussion on Ihe tariff
question the other evening, to get his
speeches out of something larger than the
"populist primer," as it is commonly
called, and when be gives figures to tell
what they are for. That is Ihe reason his
aide lost the question. He did state what
he wished to prove with his figures.
Some of our republicans attemied the club
at Needy last Saturday evening. They re
port having had a good time. We note with
pleasure that the people are waking up and
giving more attention to politics, and when
they do that we know it means a gain to the
republican party.
