ment OF beautiful banner TO the club
by the young ladies of Marlin. Capt

Of the young ladies made
the presentmeBt speech in an address
teemiDg with eloquence. The manner
! In which he pictured woman in all her
purity and Innocence and the instinct
that always drew her to correct con-
! viction, was truly sublime and grand.

the remaining candidates would not
make spot upon the political

their sweethearts ana wives had advo-
Gated those principles most eloquently
when they wrought that beautiful
banner with the fingers of love and
| presented IL to a Democratic club to
stand by those principles for this
reason, II not from love OF truth
john n. Wharton, Esq, was then
called and made logical talk on local
politics, saying that not single man
