Colonel Butler j. Anderson, being called
on, said he had little to adj to what
Colonies Logwood and Sykes had said.
He wished, however, to call the stten-
ton of the tenth ward voters 20 the
coming county election. There was 20
doubt of opposition to our county tick
ct, especially for the magistrates, and he
wished to impress upon their
minds the very great neces-
sity for unity and no scratching
of tickets, down to the lowest Office.
Discard all this notion of Independent
candidates-they amount to Radical OPP
position-and stick to your party nom-
nations. The magistrst q election is a
vely important one, making up, as they
do, our comfy couIt. Colonel Anderson
closed amid applause. Mr.. Cochran was
introduced al, er repeated cas-, and
spoke of the gre at importance of the
election next Thursday. He eulog ,zed

fused into his hearers. Mr.. Cochran
continued at some length in a very
amusing speech, which delighted the
crowd, and evidently had good effect.
