Whet ens tho audience had como out to hoar Mr. Roberts' answer to Major Clark's argument, It wan soroly disappointed. dis-appointed. Finally whon Mr. Roberts stated a certain proposition as having been advanced by Major Clark, instead of 'meeting tho point at Issuo ho either I 'dismissed it with a crvld burst ot emotlonnl eloquenco or tesorted to personal nbuso.
