speech in reply was = mastery effort. and
after dovOting few moments TO a scaling

argument in it, defence, he entered upon IN
exhaustive discussion Of the issues which
divide the two parties, and concluded with
an eloquent appeal in behalf OF the superb
ticket Of the national Democratic party.
Mr.. CToXton's speech was frequently in
ttrrupted with applause. and the people OF

~, who had never heard CrOXtOn before.
showed their appreciation of his effort 10y

their enthusiasm. When Colonel MayO
came 10 conclude in the fifteen minutes given

speeches. He said that the chief reason he
had for leaving the Democratic party was
that the "HDcmocrats did not have sense
enough to keep Tilden after clccltng him.
He denied that he was MabOne's candidate,
