eral took the stand the old rebel clement
began to show itself in rather demon
strative manner. The drunken rowdies
were led on by the halEdrunken editor ol
the Democrat, but despite their howlings
, and ndungentlemanly actions, the General
spoke his allotted time .administe tering tc
his opponents some crushing blows. dc
gave them TO understand that he had heard
, the rebel yell before. At the close o.
