Too Dig for Any Speaker, Hence Dovrie's Failure. New York Mall and Express. Dowie did not find Madison Square Garden pre-empted for the political rallies of the campaign when he came here to convert a scoffing city. When he thinks It all over afterward he may find in this fact a partial clew to his failure. Wise men keep away from the garden if they have a message to deliver. The prophet's first night there was prophetic of what came after. He could not hold the crowd. After he had spoken a few minutes men got up and went out. Other and better orators have had the same humiliation. Dowie's first battle was with the garden itself, and the huge amphitheater simply put another score to Its long and fatal record. No man has ever held a crowd there; perhaps none ever will. New Yorkers know this; visitors have to learn it. The Democratic national committee learned It In 1892 when it notified Cleveland and Stevenson of their nominations. Both candidates went through a dumb show; it was not a very edifying spectacle. Poor Bryan, with the laurels of his "crown of thorns" speech still green upon him, learned it to his cost In 186; he addressed a dissolving show. The initial effect of his descent upon "the enemy's country" was lost in an unavailing struggle against an acoustic proposition too big for him, too big for any man. Singers fare a litltle better: Patti's marvelous voice floated all over the house when she appeared there in 1S92. Rut grand opera avoids it, and every light summer opera that Is anything more than a succession of spectacles has had disastrous collisions with its stubborn properties, when it has essayed them. The garden Is a place for band concerts, saengerfests. elephant quadrilles, hippodromes, animal shows Including ballets, If you please. Under the ribs of its huge rafters a voice of gold rings as hollow and harsh as bra?s alloy. None of the modulations and nuances of delightful speech are possible to the orator; he must organize his delivery on a frankly megaphone plan, and one megaphone sounds very like another. With Danicd O'Connell dead, there may never be a man who could really master the garden. McCarthj- has said: "As the orator of a monster meeting he probably never had an equal in tnese countries." His was a herculean frame, a voice "almost unequaled for strength and sweetness." From the Hill of Tara he is said to have addressed a quarter of a million of Irishmen. Lord Lytton thought "no clarion could have sent its sound even to the center" of that crowd. But Lytton adds: And as I thought. ro?e the sonorous well As from the church . tower swings the silvery bell; Aloft and clear from airy tide to tide. It glided easy as a bird may glide. To the laut verge of that vast audience sent. It played with each wild passion as it went. Then did I learn to seize the sudden clew To the frrand troublous life antique to view, - Under the rock-stand of Demosthenes. Unstable Athens heave her noisy was. If you don't know what you want try Mrs. Austin's 1 'an cake for a really good breakfast .. . .
