Mr.. McKim alluded to the Triumph of law and
order over moboeracy and the spirit of violence.
The remarks of the speaker two days before had
been verified. The course of the Mayor and Sher-
if was sustained by the ertire respectability Of
Philadelphia and Pennsy lvania lie said that the

Mr.. G. G. Foot of Canada, testified, from person
