tho work begun the night before. He con.
graduated the meeting on tho marked differ.
cnccs between the assembly there aud the one
in the same hall the night before. This was an
ordoy assembly. The meeting last night was n
mixture between q convention and q mass
meeting. He knew no other name TO give the
Wednesday night meeting than that Of "mob
in broad.cloth" Ho acquitted the individuals
present. 1t was the stupidity of the man.

Some of the newspapers reported that ho had
made partisan harangue. The newspaper
people here had so little experience In politi-
cal affairs that they did not know the difference
between hgrangue and q little pleasantly.

said he had learned to dospise the lickspittlo
who wanted to be on all sides Of tho question
4 political jesuit was not ilt associate
for gentlemen. Having disposed of the

yention. He intimuted that the committee
was in the nature Of patent pavement real
estate ring He called attention to tho fact
that the resolution offered by Mr.. Barber al

trying to Auodwink the meeting. 1t wa
either dishonest or an Ignorant proposition
He hoped tho committee to be appoint
ed that night would be q committee o
honest, intelligent republicans, who woulC
do honor not only TO tho president
elect but to the capital of the nation
lie despised trickery. lIo hoped il there wert
any persons hero who would attempt to force

meeting, that they would be voted out of th,
meeting. lie wanted to SEQ the Washington

zens He again disclaimcd that his remark
