Considerable mud-slinging was indulged in, and the editor of a Republican newspaper made an apology for his future conduct. He stated that he would never desert the party with which he w is affiliated, and a picture frame fell from the wall. John H. Smith made the statement that he was a Republican because a friend of his belonged to the party. The few spectators, not listeners, began be-gan to ' yawn, and the meeting adjourned."
