The outrage that has been perpe.
trated is an outrage upon the rights
of the people, not upon me, not
upon Gov. Tilden. except as we

After this, address of Monday
night. in Union squire, no set
speech was expected from Gov.
Robinson, but what he did say
was to the point, and won hearty
applause. He thanked the club

last speaker. He said:
