would make political speech, and
not as understood by many, an agri-

presented Judge Reagan in n graceful
" worded introductory" when the
distinguished gentleman proceeded to
give q lucid and powerful exposition
of the august tenets of the Democrat

thrilling arraignment oforganized cor
ruption as illustrated in the Radical
party. The cordial reception and eff
feet of the Judges speech was shown
in the cheers which greeted him
repeatedly throughout his splendid eff
fort.
After the speaking, the remainder
