mea. We have already given IN account Of
bis attempt to get up League meeting to
hear speech from him, and had that speech
been made. wc should have heard more
"promisas' from the frightened Ar. Price,
and little lover STOPPING, than we're ever
before made and exhibited in the political
history Of this county. We have told all
about his standing IN hour and half with
one foot on whskey barrel, talking to in
dividual League men, and waiting to be
called on for speech. Enough Of tAst =
He Was not called on. The Eight Hour
League men had already enough Of this
