the uplifting OF his friends to power,

would have completely put them TO
flight. The speaking was announced
to begin At o'clock, but many people
wisely thought it would lie better
to be on hand earlier when they could by

Mr.. Danford talked for nearly two

shouts OF laughter. The best Of feel

most vigorously applauded. That the
