was Unexpectedly called upon, made good

which rang out Justify upon the chilly night
Cir, and took his seat just as Major John

g. ID. Wise arrived. As soon as the crowd
saw Major Daniel loud calls were made for
him, and the distinguished speaker was the

ter on their past faithful adherence TO the
Democracy. He discussed the tariff ques-
ton In an able manner, and clearly ex.
planned the subject to his listeners in a way
which met the approval OF the immense au-
dience. Tse Republican party, said be, Is
sectional from It's head 10 its feet, and the
speaker read extracts from the speeches OF
leading Radicals TO sustain the assertion.
Msjor Daniel was interrupted in the

crowd, who wanted 10 know "What the
State debt had to do with the question now
before the people ?" The speaker very
aptIy remarked that 1t was a cODundruln,
and no one could answer II. He said the
Democrats have been charged with being
Boilrbons people who forget nothing and
learn nothing. He could not. see how this
could be, when there never was in this
country political party that has progressed
rs much as the Democratic.
Major Daniel spoke about one hour, and
paid high compliment to the Democratic
candidate for Congress from this district,
Captain George ID. Wise, and concluded his
remarks by urging the people TO stand true
to their colors and rally TO the support OF
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the metropolitan district.
Major Daniel was given three cheers. He
was followed by Captain Wise. His speech
