An audience numbering about $50, in
GLIDING quite an array of ladies, assembled
at the Town Hall Charlotte, Monday IN, to
listen to Mr.. Henry Billiards. plea for the
ticket nominated at the Essex Convention.
John Ii. Sherman, Esq, presided. The
speech was merely rehash ofthat delivered
at Shelburn, the other evening, and fully
reported at the time in the FREE Press
Abuse of the regular candidates, complaints
OF fraud and corruption at the caueuses, full
some eulogies of the gentlemen on the Essex
ticket. personal attacks on opponents
these, served hot at Shelburn and cold at
Charlotte. formed the bulk of the address.
Its tunereal dulness was somewhat relieved
by one or two rev comic stories, which Mr..
Ballard has just added to his repertory, and
which delighted the children amazingly.
The audience listened respectfully through
out, but manifested nothing approaching
enthusiasm.
At the close OF Mr. Billiards. speech the
privilege Of the floor was given to any one
present who had anything to say. No one
responding. the chairman called on Mr. c.
{. Torrey. who briefly endorsed the senti-
ments they had Just listened to, and pre-
dictcd the final triumph of the temperance
cause.
\ vote of thanks was then given to the
orator of the evening. after which the meet
ing adjourned.
1t may be added. that. as in his former
addresses, Mr.. Ballard made no aliusion
whatever to the holters' candidate for
States Attorney-an omission provocative
