After the committee had retirsd
Mr.. Milo Andrue 1as called Oh for 9
speech. We had come to a condition
where our political opponents began
to tell Us how much they loved Ne,
and how anxious the government was
to throw its kind arms OF charity
about as. They have organized in
party called the Liberals" who,
while they love us. wanted to beat
us. Ia view of these facts,
however, il was necessary that we
should move solidly and maintain
the system OF conventions and guard
the polls Had it not been for the
gospel. he no doubt would have been
fool enough 10 have been a democrat;
for be had been bred democrat and
Was filled with it. II was advisable
that the leading men should be walked
up 10 the existing stste OF Efiairl. The
voters of the party should be stirred
up. and every legal voter should be
urged to cast his vote; and all persons
entitled to do so, should be induced
to take out their papers. The liberals
who love Us so much, are on the
alert, and it was necessary that the
party should exert every effort and
not allow few persons to take away
the rights that had been purchased
and earned so dearly.
Mr.. Anson Call was the next one
called upon for a speech. He re-
sponded and recounted some OF the
