pompous, aud with very marked pcculiaritics OF
manner which his tiuc form and voice made
even mora conspicuous. The Republican speak

issues Of the campaign, and then said, This is

himself into the attitude Of his voice and
manner, he gave them the speech he had
heard him make u few nights before, and which
he felt sure he would repeat there's The next
night the house was crowded to its utmost. Our

would all hush down, and determine to listen.
But every time the speaker resumed, the re-
