w. WIS speech was not as well received
as his friend ~. n. IS" because, in addition
to being the smarter, u. N" assumes more
pressure.
After Billy's speech, there was music by

Gen. Bob Schenck was another who fall
ed to come up when time was called. His
excessive weariness in coming all the way
from Dayton prevented his putting in an
appearance, whereupon there was music
by the band.

As Bob couldn't come himself, he sent
his speech over by diminutive man and
brother. 1t is brief and to the point:

meeting, lifting the veil fully ard freely.
ARRIVAL OF DELEGATES TO THE RAD
CoNvENTIoN.-The Radical skirmishers ar
rived yesterday, indicating the approach
OF pretty heavy column to-day for the
grand battle. The indications are that
there will be more squaling and hair pull
ing than in a fight of drunken Amazons or
in nursery. Everybody wants everybody
else as candidate for Gubnatorial honors.
Gov. Cox, we are informed, will not allow
his name to go before the Convention. We
wouldn't be at all surprised if, after Gallo
way, Cowen and Hays have had their fun,
Bob Schenck should step in and carry off
! the bone. Anyhow there will be fun, and
we shall be there.
We notice good many old familiar faces
besides those of members of the last Legis-
ture. who are here in force to see that their
constitutional amendment bungle is ap-
proved. Warren Kiefer, of Clark, George
d. Burgess, VIM. McClung,N VIM. NJ. Garv-
lv. of Miami, A. G. Sands, Beneggleston,
Kisler, Stanton and ''others too tedious to
mention" were among the earliest arrivals
yesterday.
