the majority or minority gained vocal

The president, though evidently discon-
certed, made an appeal for free speech, and
Mr.. Phillips proceeded, criticising other
prominent non.residents for the part they
bore, and claiming they did not and could

He retired amid q storm OF cheers and
misses.
An additional resolution, complimentary
to the President and General Sheridan,
was offered by an outsider, but was lost by
a twO-thirds vote, and the original resOlu.

and though he was 80 often interrupted
there was no disposition shown to prevent
him from speaking.
