THE fellow without the fear Of God in
his heart, who reported the Hayes meet
ing in Saturday evenings Standard, left
several wrong impressions here, which
needs some correction. He speaks OF the
meeting being Interrupted by band
playing in an adjacent hall. The mem
beers of Wallace's cornet band were prac-
ticing in Il hall which they have rented
and which is more than 1t half Il square
and on the opposite side of the street
from where the meeting was. Again he
says that "they were soon stopped. They
were not stopped, for there was no one
had any power or right to stop theil
playing in their own hall The fact !:
they were asked tno.t play in their hall
and being gentlemen, every member O
them, and in every sense of the term

quest made 1t might be well enough t,
add that the majority of the band whl
were playing that night were RepublI
cans who didn't want to hear Hayes
