right the speaker did not I claim ho he was able to point out any man who attempts to wres wrest t from the people its rights should be relegated to ignominy 1300 to some moro more was said about the old flag its folds and flaps some in ing aacen accents ts and maudlin melancholy c ol 01 y about the stripes and streaks and streams flowed in in as sc senselessly uselessly as was the applause from

subsided over overwhelmed belin ed by the we crushing applause of the audience at the LITTLE ELir irANT I the audience having been utterly ly exhausted by the flow of cic ciceronian ero nian eloquence of the illustrious 1300 mathematician was greatly relieved by the band pla playing what would have been considered a patriotic tune in any other but this constituency after this another big gun was in

principle plo and on the other othe r hand denounce them for advancing adv ancill them when they do not suit the liberal program the speaker er in conclusion flattered himself by congratulating and recommend recommending I n the t peoples coples platform for a goo good many good features but lie could not refrain from mixing up the constitution of the united states with the tile laws III in
