But take them both together, Gary and
Hooper, with their platforms thrown in,

applause.
There was one other man, Mr.. Col

ry's meeting that he wanted TO pay his
respect to for a few minutes, and that
was Mr.. Urner, a member of Congress
from the Sixth district. He stated
among other things that there was the

Mr.. Cotton drew a graphic picture OF
the Republican party when IN power,
showing the terrible outrages and mur-
ders nv the Bloody Tubs, Rip-Raps,
Black k-Snakes, etc. As he remem-
bered well all the bloody scenes that
transpired at that time, his account was
very-intercsting. At that time he lived
and voted in the 4ih ward, and Mr.
Hooper, the candidate for Mavor lived
10 the same ward, al Of his (HoopeF's)
family being Know-noihings in that ward
at the time referred TO when this shame
