At 1927 Mr.. Lester D. Faulkner, chairman
of tho State Central COMMITTEES, called the

marks he commented on what he called the

fraud. If he who was in fact elected hod
chosen to lead Mexican revolt and had said
the word million of armed men would have
sprung forward to establish the result. Tho
name of Samuel J. Tilden was received with
great applause, mingled with Kisses, which
were removed when tho speaker stated that
Dir. Tilden forbade the assertion OF his own
right to the Presidency out OF greater regard
for the peace of his country. He was not in
formed whether that distinguished citizen
would again accept call to that official posi-
tion. Laughter.l He had never boon de-
feated before the people, [applausel; aud he
never will be. In conclusion lie named for
