was heartily applauded. He alluded to
his opponent, Mr.. Tripp, in gentle

the serious and grave charges made
against lrm. He admitted that he lived
in the Black Hills, but it was part of
Dakota Territory and he was not ashamed
Of it. That lie did not have as great col.

Democrats calling for Republicans to sup.
port the Democratic nominee because
there was no issue, that 1t was campaign
between men. His figure illustrative of
the reluctance of the Democrats to have
the past alluded to was impressive and
true. 1t being after eleven o'clock and
