Some one who had seen Knowles

these two different sections, abusing
and maliRning the Southern people

trust. He gave credit to those of
the North for their expenditure of
moneys for public schools and insti-
tutes of learning, and compared their
alleged superior fitness for office with
men of the South. About this juno

The meeting outside the hall was
void of enthusiasm, and was funeral
like in its deathly silence 80 far as
