TUB MACON DAILY TELEGRAPH: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEJIBER 20, 1908 Presidents and Speakers Ily Savoyard. The Duke of Wellington, excellent authority upon such matters.^ gave It ak hi* opinion that nothing*!h ho pcrliouH ah a great victory except a great defeat. It has been given I to innumerable soldiers to achieve Victory, hut few have known how to reap lt« richest frulta. Ah llo- Unghroke said. “The walls of Car nage trembled when Hannibal on* ired Capua,** and that was lmm«* lately after Cannae, his greatest In 1 sf»2 the democrats gained one the most signal political victories our history, hut within a year It is dissipated, when, hh the result a revolt, the corps commanders, tenoral* of division, generals of ' brigade, colonels of regimenth, and captains of troops deposed the coni- ; inander-ln-chlef who had taught the | party tbo art of victory and rfi- : grotinuded It In the doctrines of de- ; mocracy, | Sixteen years later the republi- ! cans have gained as complete a vic tory as that, of Mr. Cleveland In 1ft92. What will they do with It? j Shall they reap Its fruits? It re- ; quires wary walking. Shall they I squander and dissipate it in fac tional JealouhleH and differences over '• tarty policies? Perhaps. ! Grover Cleveland and Charles F. Crisp thought much nearer alike on , the tariff question than William H. Taft and Joseph G. Cannon. John Dalxell nnd Hnmuel W. McCall are In no nearer accord on the tariff Issue than wore Samuel J. Kaudall and John G. Carlisle. The Demo cratic party split in 1802 because Grover Cleveland and Richard P. Rland could not agree on the coin age question. Will tlie Republican party divide Into fuctlons because William If. Tuft and Nelson W. Al drich can not get together on tho tariff question? We all know with what consummate skill the republi tans took advantage of the demo cratic divisions on silver. Have the lomocruts the sagacity to profit bv republican divisions on the tariff.' Possibly not; and certainly not If the regime dominant siyev 1894 Is to keep command. The hour is come. Where !» the man? The president of the United 8tntes 1h always the titular head l of his party; and In tho cuhcm. of ' Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland (first term), and Roose velt the president was the actual head. Wo may bo assured of one thing: William II. Taft is both the titular and actual leader fit the Re publican pnrty today, and a atronger personality Is not among living Amorlcatm—not even Roosevelt. Except the year that John Hell HH" ed that station, Gen. jAcksoii hud • the cordial sympathy and active sup port of the speakers of coiigresH while lie was president—Andrew Stevenson and Janiea K. Polk. 8to- venson waa the only man In ^»ur hlatory who was four times chosen consecutively speaker of congress, and he must be classed among tho great men who have been cheson to that dignity. He was unsurpassed as a presiding officer except by Hen ry Clay, nnd unrivalled by few of |he other speakers who went ‘before or came after him. The story of how ho left the speak er's chair in HQI will bear retelling. There was a'vacancy In tho mission to the court of St. James, nml old Hickory desired to reward his friend for tho yeoman service ho had ren dered in the titanic buttles against the hank; but the Senate had a Will* Min ority nml unless some iuHuential sen ator of that eaity could he won over there was no hope of a confirmation of the nomination of Htcvenaon. who shur. • d with Jackson and Denton the ha tred of the whig*. Webster Was ap proached and consented to vote for con Amotion, and bring enough New England senators to Ills view to con summate It- Henry Clay heard of It and it aroused all the lion in his im perious nature. When the nomination waa considered In executive session, tradition says. Clay took the floor and uncorked the vials of his wrath, ex coriating with scorpion tongue Jackson, Renton. Stevenson and nl| the other Looofocos Involved. He was »j| ))• severe on Stevenson, calling him a Scullion of the kitchen cabinet, and when ho closed, he turned to Web t«r. who In great agitation was pacing hark and forth In rear of the seats, and exclaimed: “Now 1 want to the whig who will vote to confirm thl* nomination.** Webster voted against Stevenson and his nomination was lost. Henry A. Wise was not far from the truth when he said that Cl-iy Senator Douglas Went to the white bouse and conferred with President Pierce and the entire cabinet until long past midnight. At the conclusion Douglas said; “If the ndminiMtntiori will support inc. I'll secure’ the repeal of the Missouri restriction and establ sh popul.tr sou reignty In the territories.*' The president mid cabinet assented; Douglas.

In order to do this, we were compelled to throw restric tions around ourselves with regard to assorting and packing—for instance, with one exception we do not ship less than six quarts, and do not assort. „ Our theory was that a number of consumers had grown sick and tired of ordering the average mail order whiskey, and if they could be assured that they could get a dependable whiskey direct from our dis tillery at a fair price, we would control a lot of busi ness that was awaiting for some reputable concern. This was a departure in the whiskey business that had never been tried before, and a lot of so-called competitors predicted our ruin—please note we say “so-called”competitors,we have no real competitors: our business is so different,—we are in a class by ourselves. Up to the present time the results are astounding to us—practically every one wc have sold continues to re-order. Our business shows an increase every day. Our whiskies have such a distinct mark of quality that our customers immediately become enthusiastic arid tell their friends. We do-not make exaggerated statements,we simply conduct our. business in a con servative way, and tell you the plain truth about our products as indicated by an explanation o£ each brand offered. Do not let our prices prejudice you because they are low—just bear in mind that they are wholesale prices and “our way” enables you to purchase six quarts at about the price you would ordinarily pay for four.
