There will be no excuse for igno
rance in the next generation. Free
schools and illimitable opportunity
of education will make ignorance a
crime." I -believe in -compulsory ed
ucation, and those parents who neg
lect to puCtheir children under edu
cational advantages have but out
right left, and that is tlie "peniten
tiary. Hut there are multitudes of
men and Avome'n in mid-life whi
liave had no opportunity. Free
schools had not yet been estalished.
and vast multitudes had little or no
school at all. -They feel it when as
Christian 'men thev come to speak
and pray in religious assemblies fr
'public 'occasions, patriotic, or polit
ical, or educational. Thev are silent
because they -do not feel competent.
Thev owe nothing to English gram-
niar. or geograpnv, or
belles lettrcs. '
They wouhl not know a articiple
from a noun if they met ' it many
times a day. Many of the most suc
cessful merchants of America and
men in high political places cannot
write an' accurate -letter -on any
theme. They are completely de
pendent upoii clerks, and deputies,
Land stenographers1, to- make things
right. I knew a-htcrary man who
in other: years in -Washington made
h fortune by writing speeches for
Congressmen, or liking them .up for
the totHjresxtono! Jiecora alter tnevi
were delivered. The millionaire il
literacy of this country is beyond
nieasurcr.ient.
Now, sup)0se a man finds him
self in mid-life without education,
what is he do? Do the best he-can.

up the result thus far in the state-f '
ment that "more than, two to one of
tlie Republicans interviewed are for
Blaine in 1 88 ; and much more thar
two to one of the Democrats inter
viewed; are; for Cleveland n. 1888.F
