The same crowd which on Wednesday, TILED

terday, nnd discontontodly groWled because oil
could not hear tho addresses Of John Graham
and the Hon. Lyman Trema!n for md against
William M. Tweed.
Graham and Iremain,-nos only In tho style OF
thoir oratory, but in tho manner and appearance
Of tho two WIS very striking, and called forth
many remarks from tho bystendcrs., Mr: Graz
ham, with his low-aot head, and occasionally sul-
