present. He spoke on the great question
Of the day in most bold and statesmanlike
manner, calling the attention of the de,
mocracy to the great wrongs perpetrnted
by the bold and growing monopolists gain
ing ground in our state, and advising tbem
of the immediate necessity Of an awakening
to thi. fact in time. The gifted eloquenee
with which he portrayed his views on she
great issue, together with his pure. direc.
ton to the democratic cause. won for him
the admiration OF all and endeared him to
our people. Judge Beckham made most
able and eloquent effort, completely de-
moliShing the grecnback party. His
speech was one OF his happisst efforts, and
adds more laursls to his already well de-
served popularity with the people of Tar
rant county.
