Saturday, Whatever else nay have
been wanting, there certainly was great
deal of patience exercised, in listening
two mortal hours to a string of n,isrcp-
reservations rarely equalled in reckless
ness and audacity. The presumption
and solf'assurance Of the speaker must
be large, indeed, if be suppos S that the
intelligent people of C :dar county Jelier-
ed the things which he told them. We
except one point, viz: the charge that
"soneedody has taken advantage of the
