SENATOR OHAUNOEY M.DEPEW WRITES EPISODES OF NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS. IN TEN CAMPAIGNS INew Yorker's Personal Contact With Lincoln and the Later Presidents. (Py Chauncey M. Depew.) (Continued from Monday.) Lincoln as Lucid Talker. "When the room was clear he threw himself on the sofa, pulled up his long legs, clasped his knees with his hands, ami, leaning: backward and forward for a long time, freely diseussed the Avar. He told eleven stories illustrating his ideas. "With one exception these stories were not parlor stories, but they were immensely effective in either illustrating or clinching or striking home the point ke was making. Mr. Lincoln was the most direct and lucid talker 1 ever met. He had then been president nearly four rears, nad was more perfect master than any of the tried statesmen of the country of the home and foreign situation, of the complications with other governments, of the dangers of in torvention, of the situation of the j army and of the treasury and of the rifeds of both. I have had more or less intimacy with all the presidents since his time and most of the cabinet members. No public man ever knew so instinctively and intimately what the people wanted. If they had not yet expressed it in any form he knew what would meet with their approval. Mr. Lincoln was the saddest man I ever saw, because he was the most tenderhearted and sympathetic, and yet he felt that to save his country he had t sacrifice tens of thousands of men who would have to be recruited or sent to the front to be sacrificed by his order. It .eemed to press upon him and to weiuh upon him with a lad that he could not shake off. His one absorbing thought, relieved only by his story telling, was that he mw-st save the Union, and tkat it could only be saved by eliminating slavery. Lincoln's Story Telling. You ask me of his method of talking. He had a peculiar cadence in Iris voice, which made his sentences rhythmic. One who reads that gem of American orations, his speech at (ittyburg (it was improvised), will get an idea of his style that of an llMCOiisewi'is: rinem Afr T.innrJn wns I f nrv,ln,K nnd e5nrJ nlar power of expression He had itpon him the weight of the future and its possibilities to his country. He talked of the criticisms on his story tellinir. which used to amuse Seward ard offend the dignified CI 1 a so. With this singular cadence he said. I remember: "They say I tell a RTeat many stories. I reckon I do, but. I have found in the course of a long and varied experience among the plain people." then repeating with great emphasis, "the plain people take them as they run, are more easily influenced by a broad and humorous illustration than in any other way. What the hypercritical few may think T do not care." I think it is generally admitted now that the greatest misfortune which happened to the south w.is his assassination. He was the or.e imm who had the hold upon the country and the power to have aecoTplishcd i what was done twelve years of 'or- j ward under Hayes. He would have , reconstructed the south without a carpet-bagging government cr any of the horrors and mistakes of tl e reconstruction period, because the north, the Union army and the loyal people would have absolutely trusted hijudgment as they did his patriot 'sm. and the question of the two sections would have been settled by him, free from many of the difficulties which affect ns still. Old Ways of Campaigning. The methods of eampai ruing before the war, during the war and for several canvasses afterward were different from those we have now. The press was not nearly so universal o: powerful. The political speaker, though, was more universal and more powerful. There was no possibility of organizing such complete catrpaifns n was done by Mr. nanna. Mnv did not exist in the country to nonte a machinery of literature, cf speakers.

of colporteurs, of military companion, of organizations of every kind, vliLii were the educational processes vf the last three or four canvasses. The series of speeches which Mr. Seward, after being-defeated at Chicago, made for Lincoln, ahoist inequaled in their versatility ana frequency, were the features of Lin( coin's first campaign, and their influence was incalculable. There has been nothing in the canvasses of the last twenty years which was one man's oratory that could be so effective. We are a strong people, mnst'f-d agressive, self-confident. We are a world power for the first time in presidential elections. "Wo need a masterful, strong, self-reliant and transparently honest man Cor president, a man who dares do things which are closelv criticised in !,eir

inception and action, and receive crowning praise when the res'ilv? come about; a man who does not stor to feel that the problem of the age like the construction of the Panama Canal, which is to unite the two oceans and meet all the dreams of American diplomacy and statesmanship for generations, is to be balked by scheming dictators: but when Panama reaerts its independence and proclaims itself a republic, before nnvlxulv pIsp has seen the point he Ul' ' v ----- - x discovers that there is a power tt treat with, and he does it. Roosevelt "Does Things." Mr. Roosevelt is charged with violating the constitution in assumption of executive authority and with b ing dangerous to the liberties of the people because of his autocrat i temper, but the country hails with delight two facts, one that when then was fighting to do he ran a hundred feet ahead of his regiment up San Juan Hill and scared the Spaniards out of their trenches, the other tha' when there Mas a canal to be dug he solved in ixty days the unsolvabh problem of four hundred years, anT while a French ship was carryin; millions of gold to pay the Fiend canal company an American ship was carrying dredging machines and spades to the Tsthmus of PanamIf is common enough to find men forging fheir way to the front in business or public life when they have the temper, the mind and the spur of necessity behind them. Pit when : man born in the lap of luxury and subject to the temptations which wo men all know so well of the boy bor? towealth and its surroundings, its clubs and seduettions in the City of New York, breaks out and beats the cowboy and the rancher in tliir own territory, the miner in his own field, the politician on his own pi at f onr and the office holder in his ow sphere, and has always in every vocation and relation and position in which he has been placed easily bee the first by the common consent of his associates, whether they be me of action or brains, and in his fortic has como. president of the Unite. )0T0S nv a tragedy, and in the presi dency has met so gloriously the need of the country and the hopes of the people, such a man is entitled to the chief magistracy by the votes of hi? fellow citizens. The name Richmond Baking Co. appears on the Red, White and Blue label found on every loaf of Ideal Bread. BOSTON. Memorial Day exercises will be observed at the M.

Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley will deliver the memorial address at Knightstown, next Sunday. The blue star tag is on every loaf of Mother's bread. See that it has the name Richmond Baking Co. on it.

THE BASE BALL

II IT DON'T LOOK AS THOUGH RICHMOND WOULD HAVE BASE BALL THIS YEAR. THE BASE BALL PARK Being Used for Horse Training All Hope Seems to Have Gone Glimmering. Richmond fans' hope of having this city represented in a base ball league of major character thin year seems to have gone glimmering. The only hope that remains is that the new movement to classify into a league all of the ball teams within v radius of seventy-tive miles of Cincinnati may embrace a Kiehnmnd tteam and thus give the fans a little base ball, even though it may be of an inferior variety. This movement has ibeen "working underground" for some time and from reports is about ready to commence operations openly, all of the desirable teams having been organized and having been taken into the list. Tt is not definitely known whether Richmond will have a team in this list or not, the local authorities and the officials of this league both having said nothing as to this matter. If this proposed league does not "pan out," base ball will have been effectually killed in this city, as far as professional and serrii-professional ball goes. Rumor of Local Team. A short time ago a report gained currency that the Richmond baseball team would be reorganized and would play games at the Driving Park for the remainder of the season. Clarence Jessup was to have charge of the team and was to have made it a success such as he made of the team two years ago. The proposition was taken under consideration and seems to have been refused. The Driving Park is being used for horse training and the authorities there "kicked" against the using of the park for a ball ground. Ideal Bread has plenty of competition on price, but none on quality. SPLENDID BECITAL To Be Given by the Ladies' Musical Club of Greensfork.
