afternoon a public gathering was held,
at one of the hotels in this city, at
which speeches were made by Attor-'
ney General Brewster, Senator's Low

In the course of his remarks Came
ron said: II thank God, that. In
spite of the SANDERS which my enc
mics have heaped upon me for twenty
years, my, fellow citizens, who have
seen my life from day to day, have
always stood by my side, and helped
me to repel them; this struggle of my
political life has ended in victory. /
desired this as an answer to yindi1
cate my honesty to my children and
friends. i now. propose to. put these
slanders behind me, and forget alike

must guard their children against
another reasonable rebellion, The
Constitutional Amendment and im-
partial suffrage will help to do this,
but universal amnesty will help to.
