At half j past seven the Democratic Drum Corps marched to the Jiank corner, where I they were received hy loud and pro- longed cheers by the immense crowds there timbered. As darkness came on ; hundreds of torches werj lit. and red tire illumined the vicinity of the Dem-f oeratic headquarters magnificently. : When the torches were lit at:d all id j line, the order to inarch w as piven, and ' the gigantic cavalcade, led by a mam-j mot ii national Hag and the Enterprise band, moved idoiig the sooth side of Center street.

One j large banner ha I these wolds, ""v i wear tiie ihitr next our hearts." ami on the other side was the inscription, j 'But never wipe our noses on it.'" Many other liantieis were displayed, booming boom-ing up the candidates. The procession stretched out seven blocks, the men walking three abreast. Cheers upon cheers tor the different candidates rent the air. ami with music from the silver and martial bands the whole line was kept, lively. On the return march the Republican parade w as ne-t. but it looked a toy alongside o! t lie grand array of Democrats. Demo-crats. The whoie procession marched to "'headquarters" and stacked tneir torches, then eountermarclnxd to the Opera House. Tiie bovs were cheered In' the crowds along the. shiev.aiks w ho teemed to thoroughly enjoy t!;e spectacle spec-tacle of .so many who were iightig- for - ootT"Jfoveriimelit lor Ihem. Long before the parade, had done m..rehing the crowd was wending i'.fi way toward the Opera House vvnere they would liear the speeches that appealed ap-pealed to their reason and that t'ley therefore wanted to h-ar. Belore S:'oQ p. m. the streets were packed. A few .stragglers toll nved the Reps, but the beauty, ion and intelligence tn glorious glori-ous l'rovo were to be seen in the jam at the Opera House. The scene here w as one of enthusiasm and the beaming beam-ing faces of the multitude showed their joy felt at Democracy's triumph. On the stage at the back in bold letters let-ters was displayed the Democratic ticket and a number of the mottoes carried car-ried in the procession The band arrived ar-rived and rendered soul-stirring music At the. entrance of the speakers and prominent local Democrats, a deafening cheer was raised that was hushed only by the acknowledgements acknowledge-ments of those who were cheered and the music of the band. ! Chairman Dusenberry introduced the .first speaker, Lieut. K. W. Young, j who w,,s lustly cheered and said: Mr. L'hiirmau, Lidit and Gentlemen: 1 came down here this evening with Mr. Richards upon invitation ot your county chairman, to address you upon the subj-'ct of l)emo:v.'.cy. It is a cause in which lam pleased to raise! amv voice: it is h 'liuse the truth of! w hicb i HttitnTeo bear my testimony j Yl is the gospel of popuVu- salvation, in mv judement, Applause. j Ever since I have been able to un- . w dersta'ui to any degree the politics of our nation i have been, so far as na tional politics are concerned, a Demo- cr.it. I have understood that nearly all in the Territory have belonged or j t heir sympathies have been with the j Democratic cause, and it is surprising j to me now that wc are dividing andj have divided on national political , line-i totindeven a very few of the' jiopie of this Turitory who aie not j IVniocrats. It is surprising to me in i view of the history of the Republican j party in view of what we have seen . of Republican rule in the Territory fori iht-se many years. We have seen here f .-an example of Republican principle! the r gh'.s of the i-idtvidual and the rights of lo : il setf-uovernment s'.ran - i gied. Audfortliat reason I have al- .ways understood our people were i)em- ocratie, i.ecaue we tiavu believed in j the right ol '.he individual to govern . liiiiised'. It seems b me that the Republicans are loohing iucUward and not forward. Tnat ;hev are seeking to turn back the ! hands on vue d.al ol h story. They i advocate a strong central government, J a ceii'rahzai ion of power as against the rights of the iielividual. Why is it I that to-day tee linger of scorn is pointed j at Russia "and oiiarr in oiarchiil gov-j . ernnients? It is because the liihabi-j .rants m a ceriain extent are perfs. by j is it that this republic is inclined to j make sport and to ridicule monarchy?! Vhv is it that, wc do not believe in the j .tiglitsof royal families to rule that because be-cause a person is born the son of a . king that, he himself s'nou'd le a king iaiofrule? D is because we do not be-iieve be-iieve in centralization, but in the rigois ,ti t!ie individual to govern themselves. What is the tendency to Republican principles? It is, as 1 have said, to turn back the history of the world. 1 will not accuse the Republican party of les otts-ui, but the:r tendency is to go backwards, while th tendency of jJcuioeracv is forward. Under Democratic Demo-cratic conditions, we, the people, will enjoy greater privileges and liberties. The origin of the two parties was at the origin of the government. Then we heard. Alexander Hamilton saying to the people of this country "that we should a Senate and House of Representatives, Repre-sentatives, the members of which fdiou'd hold position during thoir natural nat-ural lives." There was opposed to him that rieat man w ho said that all men were ciCated equal. Thomas Jefferson, For mvse! I can see nothing desirable desira-ble in the J-cpublican principles. I rnve no desire to Jio backwards ; I prefer pre-fer to jro forward and ffldenvnr to Be- i I cure to the human famdv and to m-: m-: svif a greater measure of frec-dom than we have enjoyed. 1 believe that when ;;ny question comes up in our legisia-tive. legisia-tive. halis or elsewheie, and there is a doubt as t the power granted to the ueneral goveniinenl or to the state, or to the county, oi to the city, or to the individual, thai this doubt ought lo be construed in favor' of the state as I against the general government, the ! county as against the slate, of the city i as against tiie county and the nidivid-j nidivid-j ual as against the city. .Now, 1 ddi'i know l hat I can better i illustrate the ddl'erence between the i two parlies than to take a. case which i has oiigiuateo within our own observation observa-tion : a case which will indica.e tiiii ) oiu'eiviice between tiie principles of I i lie Rcpulnicaii and D mocra i parties. Vo l know tiiat wh' n a lew ycais ago ! Congress passed a law which declared ! i lie pioperty ol tiie, Mruion eimicii to I lie escheated to ihe use of the common ! schools of tite leiritorv. The qi;et-tiou ' of its vabdity was brought ijelore Die court and its const ituuonalit.v was questioned. It was taken to tli- supreme su-preme cou' t of the United Suites, and there it was shown in behail i f the Mormon church iY a'torneys repn sent-un; sent-un; Lois people. anl liiat iimicii lhat it was uiiconsii:uti jiial in that it tcok Hwav properly from individuals witli-c.ut witli-c.ut due j)rocess oi law. It was decided j ny tiie government that that was a j proper exercise of tiie power of the ! governmenl . The court w as made I up of eight judges, live of whom were Repuhlic-iiis and three j Democrats. They were all piesuiiiably jeqiiiilh learne.i in the law;, and equally ; honest and w ithout any known pteju" dice against the Mormon people. When i this question came before them, they j decided it in the light of constitutional principles as they viewed the constitution. constitu-tion. The Republican judges on the bench of the supreme court of the 1 United states, decided that that law I was constitutional, ami the other three judges, those upon that bench who were Doiuoerats, dissented from that 'opinion, and they 6a id that there was no authority in the constitution of the : United Suites for the exercise of such power. Applause They said that, inasmuch ins there was no authority under un-der the t inted States government granted by the constitution of legislative legisla-tive enactments to commit this ro -berv.ibe doubt should Ixmii favor of the people and not in favor of the government. govern-ment. The Republican judges admiue ; that the power did not exist in tiie constitution; con-stitution; but they ent away back into in-to old English history and found that the law makers of aristocratic England had, at some time or anot her, found such actions legal and therefore they decided de-cided it legal in America to escheat this property, constitution or no constitution, con-stitution, aiid hundreds of thousands of dollars which men had contributed orl.,.ful purpotes ;md objects have l.v-eii taken from il.om. Now that illustrates, il-lustrates, my friends, the difference between be-tween a 1 euiocrat ami a Republican esc oi p iwer. Applause. The Democrat Demo-crat con-. rues laws in favor of the jc'ipic, wliilo the Republican construes ;ie:n in favor of the general government. govern-ment. No-.-.- while Democrats want the igiit-. which belt- g to them left to tue people to exercise, we hear our Republican Republi-can l;it-!ids suv. "We want a stronj: goverr'::ent; we don "t w ant a government govern-ment that is weak .i- i one in which the power is taken iroi .lie government and given to the state ! individual." Democracy wants a f-Lrui g government a govern ii.ent that shall be strong enough o protect each and ail in their rights. What is the way to make a strong pivcrnruent? The greatest centralization cen-tralization ot power is in Russia. Is that the strongest government on earth? No, it is a tinder box. Light ;i match to it and immediately it wid iiud itself in flames. It requires only a war to come up in Russia for the Osir to find that lus empire is gone. It is weak ie-caue ie-caue i he people are not patriotic. The United States is strong because :he government has the respect and love of the people applause anil tiiat my friends is the way to make a sirong goeni:nent, A government is strou, w hen it has the love of its citizens when ti e citizen loves hi- ountryas lie loves his home, and w ill wage liatlle for it wiieu it is necessary. What creates the meatet love in an individual indi-vidual for his government?: 13y that government giving to that individual in-dividual tiie greatest freedom. Do we l ve a government that takes away from us our rights? That government which men love most is the government govern-ment which recoguizes most our rights and liberties; therefore, if you would make a strong government, you must place that government under such administration ad-ministration as will give to the people their rights and liberties unrestricted. Wh.ch is the political party that aims to do this? The Democratic party. Applause. Therefore, when the Re- publican party sav they want a strong j government, we fully agree with them ; tiiat such is necessary ; but we disagree with them as to what constituies a strong government. Centralization of power does not. A government that has the love of its people, only is : strong. There is another distinct feature between be-tween the two parties, and that is on the tariff subject. 1 wish lo say to you onlv a few words on the subject. I do not" believe in the idea of a tariff for protection, because 1 do not believe it is constitutor al. It is not within the constitutional power of this country for the government to so constitut e its laws as to take a dollar from my pocket, or from vour pocket and put it into t lie pocket of some one else. In a free country, we should have the right to go as we' please, ami to come as we please, without let or bindr tnce from the government. I wish to call your attention to the opinion expressed by a Republican judge Judge Miller," of the Supreme C.Hirtof the United States, in a case that came up before that i ody. wherein a certain city pioposed to build up g-inic manufacturing by passing a lav. taxing the people to support said manufacture, man-ufacture, claiming it was for the geu- ral good of the city. The Judge's decision de-cision was as follows: To lay wi: hone hand the power of ihe Government, on the propertyof the -ii izen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private pri-vate enterprise and build up priva'e fortunes, is none the less a robbery be cause it is done under the. forms of law and is called taxation. Thib is not leg islation. It is a decree under legisia-i legisia-i tive forms. N r s t taxation. A "tax" says Webster's Dictionary, "is a rale or sum of money assessed on the p--r-; .son or property of a cit'zon by Govern-i Govern-i ment for the" use of the nation of Mate." Taxes are burdens or charges imposed by the legislature upon p. r-jsons r-jsons or property to raise money for i public purposes. We have established j we think, beyond cavil that there can I be no lawful tax which is not laid for u I public purpose. If it be said th it a benefit results to the public of a t w :i by establishing manutac.iries, tli- same may be said of any other business or i pursuit vvh'ch employes capital or la-; la-; bor. The merchant, the niecnanic. the i inn-keejier, the danker, the buikb-r. the stamlKiat owner, are equally pro-I pro-I nioters of the public good, and equally deserving the aid of the citizens by ! forced contributions. No line can tie drawn in favor of t he manufacturer which would not open the coffers of the pitb!ic treasury ft) the importunities of j two-thirds of the business men of the : citr or town. j Now such was the decision of the j Supreme court of the United States: j and it seems to fit the case of the j tariff. But we have the opinion of a I man than whom there is no better jurist in the United Slates, whose reputation as a law ver is unexcelled, a man whose authority on law is almost al-most without equal in th:s land Judge Coob-v. He says in his work, "Con-Btitutlonal "Con-Btitutlonal Limitation." Constitutionally a tax can have no other basis than the laising of revenues lor public purposes, and whatever govei menial exaction has not this hums is tyrannical and uniawlui. A (tax oil unpens, theH -fore, the purpose of w?tich is not to laise revenue, but t oiscouiage ami iinLr c-ly prohibit Mm- p..rt:e-.:iar -mp.it I i-.e Oenetit ot .- ii e home iminiiLuLue. . may well 1 i- i; .csiioned as b-ong nicr -i.. c-d.-rable, aiio, therefore, not warranted hy Cou-stiti.tionul Cou-stiti.tionul piinciples.

Now it is saitl thai the tariff has be n m.ide lor tiie purpose of raising the wages, of hettering the condition oi the working man. Has it raised their wages? It is true the wages of our couoirv are hiuhcr than they are in Europe; but consider, my friends, the circumstances. In the first place it is .-hovvn by li jures that in nearly every iiisuince" w here a man receives higher wages he produces more goods than are produced in the o d country by the same amount of work. It is done by superior machinery, industry and skill. The condit.oii of the old world and the new world are different. In the old world the hills have been donuded of of their forests: the earth has been robbed of its mines; the soil has been robbed over ami over again, and so the resources Til nature have been exhausted ex-hausted in all directions. Not so in this country. The forests have scarcely been cut into, our mines have scarcely been touched, there arching in this emintrv great tracts of land of fresh " soil that only requires re-quires cultivation without fertilization fertil-ization not taken up yet; there is more work to be done in this country and fewer people to do it ; the result is that wages are higher men are not comjieting against each other for employment, em-ployment, and therefore wages do not rundown. Supply and demand regulate regu-late wages. It has been proven from advertisements advertise-ments of manufactories of our country that Ameiictm made goods are sold cheaper in foreign countries than in America. A plow which sells in this country is advertised in South America Amer-ica as selling at S9. They do not sell I ! :'.v-i in South America for less than , -.i costs to make them ami freight them j there. Where does the other P.) go to? Why is the price of plows kept up in America? Does the tariff keep down the price of American made plows? We hat! an eminent Republican orator ora-tor speaking to us in Salt Lake lately. I No doubt you had him here. He told j us that as 'the tariff was put on articles the price of these articles went dow n, j He forgot to tell us why it was that a : South American farmer could buy a I plow for when a farmer in the I United States hatl to pay SIS for the self same plow. He forgot to tell us a great many other things. As a mutter I of fact the tariff increases the price of ! everv article that is taxetl by the tariff That" is what the tariff is for. Suppose you would go to the store ami buy 50 cents' worth of iootls. and a custom house officer would come to vou and ask you how much you paid "lor those goods you would teil him r,i) cents, and he would ask you ; 0 cents additional as a tariff, how would you i feel if you were compelled to pay it, and thus pay U for those goods? This is what the tariff does for you ; the only difference is we do not appreciate or realize the fact when we pay the tariff. I was just thinking the other day ! thai if a farmer would real ze vj will suppose he buys four hundred and lifiy dollars worth" of t ootis upon which there is a tariff and suppose that the land' tax is only thirty -three ami a third p- r cent, average, which is much lower than tiie average tax as has been proven time and again, ho pays one hundred and tilty dobars of the four hundred and fifty dollars as a tariff tax upon the goods. Suppose that farmer raises thirty bushels of wheat to the acre, and sells it for seventy cents a bushel. He would get out of that twenty-one twenty-one dollars on each acre and to pay ihe one hundred and fifty dollars it would take as many acres as twenty-one twenty-one goes into one hundred and fifty, a little over seven acres of grornd that the fanner must cultivate, put into crops, water, sow, reap, thresh, in a year, pav the taxes the tariff imposes, on the four hundred and fifty dollars worth of goods himself and family uses in the v-ear. This, in addition to ail of the other taxes, he pays, such as territorial county ; nd municipal taxes. 1-idiesand gentlemmen, this might be continued, but there are other speakers and I find I have occupied sufficient time. The chairman next sntrodnced liOX. F. 8. 1MCIIAKDS. Mr. Chairman, ladies and yrnllemen: When 1 arrived in your beautiful city this evening at the close of a long campaign cam-paign in which 1 have spoken at many meetings held in different cit 'es of the territory. 1 felt weary and worn out. Rut when I saw the magnificent scenery here ami the soul cheering sight of the parade with thousands of loyal citizens out. when I heard the strains of music from vour band, and when 1 came into the house and beheld this sight of beautv and beaming intelligence,! was refreshed and wondered what 1 could say that would 1)6 of interest to you. You have listened to the eloquence of a Judtl, the oratory ami reason of a King, the Irgic of "a iTaul, and last to the telling remarks of my colleague, and 1 wonder now what I will be able to say to you. You have met here not only "to hear the questions of difference betvveeu the two parties discussed, but you have also met to ratify that grand ticket which you see here at . the back. Tremendous applause. 1 know some of the entlemen whose names are on that ticket, I wish I hid the time ami the ability! to do justice to them. The gentleman who leads the "legislative part of the ticket, lion. Wm. H. King, defeaning up ilatise is a man I well know. He is well known in the homes of Utah as a defender of the rights of the people. Applause. J have listened to the words ot eloquence that came burning from his heart, to the golden words of masterly and powerful logic, full of meaning and reason that tell from his lips. You know now keen he is in logic, how valiantly lie has fought for vou in the past, you know how' he has stood byyoii at the bar. and how on this dat tor:: ami elsewhere, aye even at the seat oi' government, he ha stood ; up maniullv and defended the rights of j the people. I need not sp-aK words of eiiioiiiiiin on him; his integrity is nit only known to the Democrats Demo-crats and Republicans of Utah county, but to all the people of Utah. Another gentleman w ho is goins to represent vou in the legislative halls is my friend", Mr. Tike You may not have heard his wonls so often from the public platform, but you have heard ! h:s words of comfort and solace and o; I hope, at times w hen you needed it mosf. ! He has stood by the bods.de when you ! have iieen sick. lie h-isheld your hand i in his-rhe has looked into your eyes and j told you that might you have hope at i times when perhaps despair was set tied Ion you. ih is a man who will stand ! siioal'ier l shoulder with my friend, j Mr. Ki'itr, and be an honor in the legislative leg-islative hails of I'lah. (Ai-pl'.iuse.) i I wish 1 could refer to all of these gentlemen they are just as fit and ! capable in their places as these. I have mentioned two that are known to you, and il would be a waste of time, perhaps, per-haps, for me, in my feeble way, to make extended mention of them. You have placed them there, not only because be-cause thev are men in whom you have confidence, but because they are worthy standard-bearers of the grand principles prin-ciples of Democracy, and for that reason you havo determined to elect the in, You have heard discussei the distinctive di-stinctive leatuies separating the par ties. In tuirlOAii we have the i raiment rai-ment of another party the Literal party, it is an important LfUi.re in our campaign. We have invited them 0 come w ith us. Their avowed mission mis-sion v as to make the Mormon people discontinue polygamy. Haven't thev discontinued polygamy? Tiie Liberals don't know. They think, perhaps, they will be able to tind some women down here ju the outskirts of some viliage who will admit she has heard s.ime one sav that he thoindit polygamy is not ie"ad vet. These people have said to lis. "Whenever you give up polygamy, we will quit this fiht, because the liht will then be over.'" Four years ago some of thesJ men here with other men, and 1 had ti e honor to h" one of the number, in sol- j emn deliberation framed a constitution j in which there was a cause aa:n-tl polygamy, which was submitted ami al- j most unanimously adopted. But, they j said that was not enough, they waiiD d the Mormon church, the authorities, j to do something in this matter. It was shown to them that the delegation nor the people could do nothing further they could not dictate to the church or its officers as to something with which they had nothing to do. Alter a while the church spoke, through its president and in no uncertain language. This was not enough. They said that now they wauied the People's parly dissolved with the assertion that thev knew that would never be done. The People's Peo-ple's was dissolved They want us to no someieing else they don't know what, nor nobody can tell. Distinguished Distin-guished and honorable members of the Liberal party have come out from the infamous league and have joined hands to redeem aiid save Utah polit ically. Are they th friends of the people, or are others? You know. I have one thing to say and that is that the obstructionist ob-structionist had better fall into line for ti e car of progress is rushing on, and it they don't get out of the way. thev will be crushed beneath it. Applause.l I don't know how much difference there is here between the two national parlies, but up our way they sometimes get so oadly mixed up that it is difficult to separate them. You have heard something tonight, and you have heard much, more before of the features of difference between the two parties. One is a party of the people, peo-ple, a government for the people and bv the people. The other is a government of the aristocracy a party that would have a strong government invested with powers against the citizens, while the Democratic theory of government is that every man has a right to govern gov-ern himself. Now don't misunderstand me. 1 don't mean that every man has a right to be a law unto himself. I say that the Democratic theory is that which wms proclaimed by our patriotic forefathers when they saitl that all men have a right to be free and that all men are equal. I say that a Democratic administration carries car-ries out this idea. The people are ! taught corr ct principles, and then thev govern themselves. They will govern themselves by living within ihe i law, just as yourchildreu govern themselves them-selves when "you teach them the law of your household. And there we come to "the great question of difference be iweetiusand the Republican party i.i regard to the strong government. As' you have heard here to-night, they would have a government the strength of which rested in cannons and bayonets. bayo-nets. We would have a stiong government, govern-ment, the strength ot which rtsts upon the love and loyalty of the citeens. Applause. How is it in your families? Do you want your children to obey you because they fear you or because I hey love you? The distinctive feature between be-tween the two parties is, one says we must rule with an iron hand; the other says we must let Unpeople Un-people rule themselves, they are the sovereigns and must be taught what is right, nil 1 then they will do what is rigid, because it is right when the parent par-ent government gives to them their full quoto of rights, libeilies and privileges. priv-ileges. (Applause.) Instead of writing writ-ing the word nation with a capitol N in letters of gold upon the Capitol of the United States we would write it with the finger of love on the hearts of Unpeople. Un-people. (Prolonged applause.) The honorable gentleman continued his eloquent, interesting and absorbing oration for some time. A verbatim report re-port of the balance and also of Dr. Pike's speech will appear in our tomorrow's to-morrow's (Monday) edition. AN OVERFLOWING MEETING. The Opera House being inadequate to the demands of ihe crowds of Democrats Dem-ocrats last night an impromptu meeting meet-ing was held in front of the cosmopoli tan Hotel. The drum corns Was in attendance, ami the audience was larger than that of the Republican rally at the Courthouse. A. D. Gash was the first speaker, and he fired some hotshot into the ranks of the Republicans. The principles oi Democracy were intermingled with t i c const itut ion and the adoption of the National flag. He dwelt at some length on the platforms of he two great parties, showing that the Republican Re-publican believed in unjust taxation while Hi Democrats fought atgaiiist it. The Republicans raised the tariff which had caused the monci olists to grow richer, and tin poor, poorer. Taxing one party at the expense of the other was grossly-wrong. grossly-wrong. The speaker proved conclusively conclusive-ly that the farmeis were being robbed by a high tariff and that the farmer as well as tiie labor markets suffered from it. The speaker then referred to God's green earth because he loved that part of the earth where green verdure grew and bounteous nature spreads her loving lov-ing hands, better than he liked that part of the earth above timber line, where only such animals grew as that which edited the Republican organ of this city. Tremendous applause. The speaker then took up the war of the rebellion and talked at some length showing that all north of Mason and Dixon's line fought for the Union irre- j spe tive of partv atiili it'ons. The south fought ill the war simply because they j thought they were Tight. Three tilths of the soldiers of the noith for the first two years were Democrats, and 32 out of 7o" generals gen-erals in the war were Democrats. lt. paid a high tribute to the generals of north. j Judge W. N. Dusenbi-rry. the Demo- cralic stalwart, followed w ith a ringing j speech. lie stated that tin eyes of the Hal ion were turned upon Utah, hoping ' she would remember her fneiids. Royal A. Barney was the m-x' i speaker, and the way he fifed into tie j Republican nuiks was Well received, j lie showed Democracy to be the friend j of the people. He eulogized the Demo- cratic ticket in glowing terms. i (treat enthusiasm prevailed through.-j out the meeting, the speakers being in- j terrupted for several minutes at a J time. j REPUBLICAN MEETING. The small procession of the Republican Repub-lican party, last nijht, was in striking contrast to the long array of Democrats. Demo-crats. The Republican parade was several blocks shorter. Headed by the j drum corps, they marched down center street to the West Co-op., and returned, re-turned, the. Opera House, band occupying occupy-ing a position about the middle of the parade. Arriving at the courthouse, the band took up a position on the band-stand, and Herb. Pyne, as chairman of t he meeting, made a few remarks, and pre seated George Sutherland as the first speaker. Mr. Sutherland referred to Judge Judd as being hypocritical in his talk to the Mormons. Mr. Dy.r also got a scoring the speaker claiming that he took S'Jo.OOO from the church' through tlu ir herd of sheep. The speaker dwelt with sarcasm on Prof. Paul's speech on ehttnriff, Mr, Sutherland talked fjr some time, but did not touch upon any ;o! ihe issues of Ihe campaign, lie gave ! a ver pretty recitation, which was well appreciated.
