brief speech in which he named Gov. Gar
celon for the Democratic Presidential nomi
nation. Loud applause.
| Scion Chase said he heard that the
Governor was TO speak here tonight, so
he harnessed up his black colt and came
down. After hearing our good Governor
1t had popped into his head that the Gov
ernor obeyed the law and he understood
that the only trouble with the Republi-
cans is that they don't like to have the
Governor administer their own medicine
to them. The trouble is not with the
man who enforces the law but with the
law. l don't blame the Republicans for
feeling bad. If misfortune had come on
our side of the house we would have
howled. Counting is no novelty to either
party. This time the Republican bull has
gored the Republican OK. A Greenback
Legislature will administer justice and
keep peace between the two parties.
Resolutions were read and adopted
praising Gov. Garcelon as a citizen and
official and denouncing the attacks upon
his character.

zens There has been no purpose to
trouble the arsenal or any other property
of the state.
