Saturday last. Able and excellent
speeches were made by Generals
Kimball and Gresham and Mr..
Stephens. There was large crowd
of people present, including many

hoods and blackguardisms of their
party leaders, desired to hear patrio-
tic and truthful speeches. We hope
their eyes were enlightened.

was called by them last Saturday to

of the woods was not as clear as they
had hoped it would be, and they post
poned the nomination until Thursday,

al Convention.-Lap0rte Herald
